The Ghost Within

Tawny looked at him, "N-no... I uhm don't think so..." he said.

He stepped back, looking at the male. What was peculiar is that most of the ghosts Tawny saw, they had an aura around them.

But this guy didn't, and that he looked a little familiar. But he just couldn't put his finger on it.

Blairs head titled slightly in confusion, "I'm not the only one you've seen am i.."

He frowned a bit and looked around the street,  then back at the old empty home, he turned back to the male.

"Its..weird to finally be seen although I had to die for it," he muttered to himself before shaking his head, "shut up blair," he seemed to let a breath out but obviously there was no change.

"Im..sorry I'm new to this whole..death..? Thing," Blair looked at the smaller male with sad almost hollow seeming honey brown eyes as he fell quiet and lowered his head.

Tawny frowned at the guy.

"I'm sorry, that really sucks. But uhm... I'll be here for you if it helps...? No of course it wouldn't help..." Tawny sighed. He rubbed his cheek.

"Well, I'm Tawny..." the male said, running his shoe along the sidewalk.

"No..I think I does help at least a little  although I dont feel like I'd be the best of company either way, I'm Blair. Its nice to meet you Tawny,"  Blair flashed a small smileTawny eventually looked up meeting Blairs beautiful eyes, he smiled back.

"I'd have to disagree... the dead don't exactly judge. The living are who suck..." he then looked around.

"D-did you live around here?" Tawny asked.

"Well I have nothing more to lose so I guess you're right, what would be the point in judging. "

Blair looked at the old home, "not before the accident, when I was younger. I guess I'm here..because I lost my twin when I was younger and thought maybe since I'm here that they'd be here to possibly but so far I was wrong..which is good I guess,"  he then looked at tawny.

"I'm sorry I said way too much.."

Blair looked down at the smaller male then to the side.

Tawny shook his head, "I'm a good listener. So feel free to tell me uh, anything..." Tawny shrugged.

The shorter male then looked at the house, "I'm sorry about your twin... uhm and you...""I'll keep that in mind." 

Blair shrugged, "no need to be. But thank you,"

He softly moved back, "I should let you go..I apologize for bothering you."

"N-no... uh... uh..." Tawny quited down after sounding so needy.

"Uhm I was gonna say, you aren't being a bother. I actually quite like the company..." Tawny mumbled nervously.

"I don't know many people, they don't care to know me..."

"Then would you like me to follow you?" He asked,

Blairs brows furrowed, "hm they must be incompetent because you seem like a pretty sweet guy and quite damn good lookin too, screw them then"

Tawny's cheeks tinted pink after the compliment, "Uh- t-thanks Blair..." he said covering his flustered face.

He then looked up at the taller ghost male, "I mean if you'd like to, I'm pretty boring ah-" Tawny immediately shut up, fixing his jacket as he started to shiver.

He started off down the sidewalk again, he looked back at Blair making sure he was still behind him.

Blair smiled before he walked behind him eventually moving beside him and kept his head down as he was quiet.

"I uh... you guys have a tendency of disappearing out of nowhere, I was just checking..." Tawny said wrapping his hands around himself.

They arrived at the house on the corner. It was a small two story house, a tan beige color with black trimming. Grabbing the mail from the mailbox, Tawny made his way up onto the porch before unlocking the door.

"Yeah..I know. It sucks sometimes," he muttered.

Blair rose up to the porch and looked around before his eyes fell on tawny.

"A lovely home.. but tawny I think I'll be going now..I should check in on my mom and baby sister..its only been a few days since my death and it's been hard on them..I know it.."

Tawny turned around to meet his eyes, "Oh, ok. It's alright I understand... uhm don't be a stranger then," Tawny offered a sweet smile before going into the house.

He stood against the door, a frown gracing his face upon seeing the messy house.

"I hope to see you around more," Blair spoke before he disappeared and found himself home, he walked through the door and the smell of fast food hit his nose. He frowned, that means his mother didnt cook and usually when she didnt cook it was Blair that did the cooking.

He roamed through the house, the kitchen was clean and the living room empty, Blair continued through the home and found his mother sleeping with a bottle of wine near her bed. Making his way to his little sisters room he listened to the sound of crying, a frown tugged at his lips.

He walked through the open door and she wasn't there he turned to his own room, there was his little sister curled up in his bed wearing one of his hoodies,his music was on and the room darkened.

"I know you hated when I came in your room without your permission..but I promise I didnt touch anything..I just miss you blair,its not fair..it should have been me or something"

Blair felt a flow of emotions the surge causing the music to skip repeatedly.

The young twelve year old rolled over and turned it off completely and turned the lights out. She curled up in blairs bed as he fell asleep,  he moved to his chair in the corner of the room and took a seat staring at the wall.
