I sit at the local coffee shop, and sip my iced coffee.

That guy Jared walks in and we make eye contact, he walks over to me "why haven't you been answering my calls?" He asks as he reaches my table

He did call me but I didn't understand why so I didn't answer "sorry been busy" is all I say hoping he goes away

He sits down "did you want to see him again?" He whispers

"Who?" I whisper back

"Felix?" He says

"He's at his uncles" I tell him kinda getting freaked out

He stares at me and it's like he thinks I'm kidding "are you okay?"

"Yeah are you?" I ask back

His eyebrows scrunch up together like he's confused or something "I thought you wanted to help Felix?"

"I barely even know the kid" I say about to get up

"Barely even know the kid?" He repeats then asks "does anyone know about you seeing Felix?"

"Listen I'm going to ask you to leave " I ask him getting tired of him

"Oh no" he whispers "I'll go" he nods "but remember this Jess. Your a fighter so fight" he says and gets up

That was weird.

I don't understand why everyone being so weird lately.

As I walking home I can't help but look over at the cemetery for some reason, I almost feel this pull to go in but that's really weird.

As I walk inside my house I see aunt Lora on the couch and next to her is tom.

"Hey" I say as I walk inside

"There you are" aunt Lora smiles

"Hey kiddo" tom smiles at me

"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" I ask and try not to laugh

"No I just came over to see how the two of you were doing" tom says

"That's nice" I smile at him

I feel like he's almost studing me for some reason "well I'll be next door"

"Bye" me and Lora day at the same time as he leaves

As I lay in bed I can't help but keep thinking I'm forgetting something, I don't know what though.

I can't help but look over at the neighbors window from time to time.

I don't feel right, I don't feel like myself which is odd.

I don't think about it too much and I feel my eyes getting heavy until I'm asleep.

I open my eyes and see I'm outside on a porch, I look down and see I'm wearing a white dress.

I open the front door and walk inside, the house seems familiar but I don't know how.

There's nothing here, no furniture just cobwebs and a big red stain on the floor.

I walk up the creaky stairs and walk pass a couple of door. I open this door for some reason and walk inside. There's nothing in here either, I walk over to the window and look out side.

As I'm looking out the window at nothing I hear something almost like a creak from downstairs, I leave the bedroom and follow the noise until I'm standing in front of a basement door.

A part of me wants to go down there but another part is telling me to walk away. just as I'm about to walk away I hear a noise again.

I open the basement door and turn on the light, I walk down the steps and then I look around to see what the noise is.

There's some furniture down here, with some white sheets covering them.

I look over at the bookcase and look at all the books that's placed on there, when I hear something behind me.

I'm not scared for some reason but I still don't want to turn around, I look over my shoulder and see a boy who's looks around my age with blonde hair and nice eyes.

"You miss me?" He smiles a big smile like he's been waiting for me to come down here

I turn around and face him, I just stare at him for a moment before I say "do I know you?" I can't help but ask

He gives me a sad smile "not at the moment"

I step closer to him for some reason but don't say anything just trying to figure out how I know him.

He's staring at me too "you're so beautiful" he says to me like he's mesmerized

I think I know him but how?

"Where do I know you from?"I ask him

"Here" he gestures "you helped me"

"How?" I ask him confused because how would I of helped him

"You made me look forward to everyday and then even though you knew we wouldn't ever see each other again you helped me move on" he tells me

I'm trying to remember but I can't.

"Move on" I whisper to myself "then how are you here?"

He gives me this mischievous smile "I'm not really supposed to be here but you needed me"

For some reason when he says this I can't help but remember that name Mary said to me"Are you Luke?" I ask him wondering if he is

He smirks "the one and only"

"You need to fight to remember Jess" he says as he moves a hair out of my face

"Remember what?" I ask him wanting to know what I forgot

"Everything that makes you you all that pain as bad as it is I know you you wouldn't want to forget. You were chosen to see the ones who are lost and need help" he says softly

Remember? Remember! I keep repeating in my head.

Luke comes closer and wraps his arms around me "remember" he whispers in my ear

I close my eyes and embrace him. He smells good and I know that smell.

This house I know this house because I lived in it, I even know how that stain got there by the stairs. I want to stop thinking but I want to remember.

I know Luke because he lived here with me, I know he has a sister Lucy and she has children now.

Luke my Luke, the one that was trapped in this house until he met me.

I remember everything..

I freeze when I realize I'm hugging Luke and I can actually feel him. "Am I dreaming?" I almost scared to ask

"Yes but I'm here really here" he says

I pull back and look up at him "I didn't think I would see you again" I smile almost wanting to cry from how happy I am

"I couldn't forget about you" he crinkles his nose and smiles at me "I knew you would want to remember"

I nod "I did" I say, as bad as some of those memories are I want to remember "how long are you here for?" I ask knowing the answer

He smile fades "not very much longer but I needed to see you"

"Will I ever see you again?" I ask trying not to cry knowing this will probably be the last time I ever see him again

He gives me a sad smile "I'll always be here "

"I'm not ready for you to go" I whisper

"I know" he kisses the top of my head

And I feel all my memories coming back. I then remember him. Felix!

"I need your help. It's Felix" I tell him

He smiles "Felix I like Felix" he tells me "he needs you" he says in a more serious tone

"How do I help him?" I ask needing to know

" you will figure out a way" he says and then looks at me "it's okay Jess"

"What?" Not knowing what he means by that

He grabs my face softly "You can move on your ready" he says to me and I know what he's talking about

As much as I love Luke it's time to let him go.

"I won't forget you" I tell him really wanting him to know

"How could you I'm amazing" he smirks and I hug him tight knowing it's time to say goodbye again and for the last time

"Goodbye Luke" I tell him knowing our time is up
