《Outcasts》Guilt
Advertisement
When I woke up, I saw that Norton had left the closet and was reading a story, and I walked downstairs to make myself some coffee. Just a regular day, nothing too eventful. I wondered, should I just quit being a ghost hunter?
"Hey, Andy! How was your sleep?" Norton chuckled.
"Do not call me that. Address me as Andrew or I will kill you." I groaned as I got my coffee and headed to the bookshelf and got the book I was previously reading. The Bostonians. Its quite a marvelous book.
"These books are pretty interesting, I like your taste in books and music.." Norton said as he picked up a record from the phonograph and played the tune. It was a very sweet and soothing tune, and I felt warm as the tune went on
"You like this tune?" Norton asked as he sat on the chair next to me
"I listen to this tune whenever I pray or I feel down, so this tune makes me feel, something.." I grinned as I drank my coffee
"You know you should really smile more, its quite cute." Norton chuckled as he got himself coffee
"Oh shut up, I am not gonna smile any longer. I hate my smile, its a curse from the devil himself." I barked as I looked away from Norton, clearly flustered by how he thought my devious smile waas 'cute.' Is this guy alright, theres many flaws about me. I am not perfect in the slightest. Is this guy up to something??
"Fine then, babyface." Norton laughed. "Since you wont admit your kinda cute.."
"Oh please stop flirting with me, how sinful of you." I yelled. "I shall go pray whatever you think of me away. No one should like my presence."
"Jeez, your in a mood, go rest." Norton shrugged.
"I am not in a mood! Im just, oddly weirded out." I replied as I headed to the praying room in my house, and ran to get the cross and pray. As I prayed, I began to cry because I could remember the screaming of when I was forced to pray every day by the pastor after my mother died. She was always by my side and life got worse after she died, so now I dont care if I die, because I'll reuinte with my mom. But what if I dont since I look hideous. I cant possibly go to heaven!

"God, please let me go to heaven, just to see my mother.." I sobbed as I finished praying and laid down on the floor, positioned how people in coffins lay. "Why didnt I kill that annoying bastard, he's weirding me out.."
"Andrew..You alright?" Norton knocked on the door as he worried. "Dont do this to yourself.."
I found my ghost gun, opened the door and pointed it at Norton.
"Im tired of you flirting with me. I do not want to be sent to hell. You hear me!" I yelled
"I wasnt even flirting, but alright!" Norton yelled back as I put the gun away.
"You sure?" I whispered as Norton felt a bit flustered.
"Y-yeah." Norton worried. "I wasnt flirting at all, just playing around!"
"Good." I whispered. "Dont flirt with me ever again, or I will shoot. I dunno when your flirting but it feels like you are..."
"O-ok.." Norton flustered as he flew off. I do feel a bit bad, but I dont want to get close with anyone because they'll just leave me anyways. Like my 'friends' in high school did. They asked the church to burn my eye, and it was absolutely painful. Now I hide that eye and hope to God no one questions it. I decided to remove the hair covering that eye, and I saw the swelling and pain and dried blood. Somehow I dont have an eyepatch, but I should really get one...It would make me look even more hideous however...
"Hey Andrew- oh my god, what happened to your eye.." Norton gasped as he looked at my burnt eye
"Its nothing, gosh. Just leave me be for a bit okay?" I sobbed. "I just want to be alone....I feel like a fucking burden."
"Im not gonna, your gonna probaby start praying and hurting yourself, and I dont want that." Norton said as I hugged him tightly. I dont care if he's a ghost I want to hug him. He means a lot to me and weve only known each other for such a short period of time, though we've instantly clicked...

"Dont forget about me please...." I sobbed into Norton's ghostly reflection.
"I may be dead, but I wont forget about you. Neither has your mother. She hasnt forgotten about you. She's watching over in heaven. Your doing great okay?" Norton smiled.
"M-my mother...You-you've met my mom?" I sobbed. "I hope shes okay!"
"Shes very sweet, and yes shes doing very well." Norton smiled. "Come on now, lets just rest okay?"
"O-Ok.." I sobbed as I walked myself to my bed and got into some cozy pajamas and brushed my teeth, and then headed to sleep. I could feel Norton's cold body next to me. I felt a little weird about it, but I didnt really mind it at the moment. I need someone to just comfort me..I miss my mom, Norton makes me feel special. No one but my mom and Norton has ever made me feel this special. I dont know what to do..
"I do not have feelings for Norton Campbell, Lord. I will not sin."
"I will never sin, I am a holy child of God.."
"I pray I find a wonderful wife in the future and the ghost invasions stop, Amen.."
I woke up with night terrors at around two and accidentally woke Norton up.. I felt really bad considering he was fast asleep deeply.
"Andrew, what's wrong?" Norton worried as he rubbed my back
"D-dont touch me please. B-but I got a night terror..." I said as I cradled myself in the fetal position. "I fear that God will send me to hell.."
"He wont, I can tell you right now. You're going to heaven, dont listen to him. He isnt always right." Norton sighed.
"No.. he's always right.." I sobbed. "Im going to hell Im going to hell, I'm going to hell, I'm going to hell..!"
I screamed to myself 'im going to hell' on repeat until Norton slapped me across the face
"Calm down. Please, I dont want you to do this to yourself." Norton said as he held me from behind and I just laid in his invisible arms. I wish we were both ghosts...
"I-I'lll try..." I said as I started to fall asleep in his arms. "I'll try my best, Norton.." I said as I fell asleep in his ghostly and cold arms..
I woke up with Norton's ghostly body next to me and tucked in. Did he tuck me in? How cute, no I should think those thoughts. I got up quletly and carefully so I dont disturb Norton and got to making coffee for the two of us. He was fast asleep and it was so adorab- ANDREW DONT THINK THAT STUFF! Your not one of those people. Once I prepared the coffee, I got a call saying that I should come in for ghost hunting today. Gosh I'm not ready...
"Morning, Andrew. Glad you slept well." Norton yawned as he flew over to get his coffee. "Mm I love the smell of coffee.."
"I do as well, truly brightens my day. Look, I have to ghost hunt today, so stay home and dont do anything." I said as I got upstairs and changed into my ghost hunting outfit and got the equipment ready. "Its a long shift.."
"Ok, I'll be safe." Norton said. "Can I listen to music-"
"No." I demanded as I walked out the door. "Dont do anything but hide."
"Fine.." Norton sighed as I walked out the door. Good god, this job sucks. I had to kill at least twenty seven ghosts. Ten of them happened to be children, and I felt so guilty. This job is leading me deeper and deeper into hell. Im only doing this pathetic job for the high pay. God I dont want to do this anymore, but I have to in order to pay the bills. I dont want to kill anymore ghosts
