The One with the Ghost Boy (reggie peters x reader)

bright

we walked in to the living room and saw dad on the computer and carlos on his ipad

"hey dad" we said clearly bored 

"what'cha working on" Julie asked 

"well now that the house is on the market, we need to add some photos to the website, help me pick some good ones" he replied signalling us to come over and look, we walked over and had a look, i didn't want to move but if that's what will help them then i will "got this batch right here"

"these are really nice" I said quite impressed

"yeah?" 

"yeah" 

"thanks.. these didn't turn out though, the ones from mom's studio, it's like.. little lights and dots all over the place, kinda look like orbs right?" 

"orbs?!" carlos said as he jumped up  "I've seen some freaky stuff about those on youtube.. people say they're ghosts, do you think that's mom and she made some friends?"

"that's a nice thought, but there are no such things as ghost" dad chuckled 

"sounds like someone's spending to much time on the internet.. you can just trash those" julie said, surprisingly calm for the fact that we see dead sunset curve everyday 

"all right. so trash, trash, trash" 

"um dad, I was thinking.. if we're just moving because of me, and you, y/n and carlos wanna stay, i'm fine with that" julie said, i'm happy she said that she really doesn't want to move either i can tell 

"I vote we stay!" carlos shouts raising his hand "I don't wanna have to clean under my bed"

"i'm with him on that, my wardrobe is not looking fun to clean out.." I said..

"noted" dad smiled "what made you have second thoughts?" 

"I don't know, I guess a combination of things. I know that tia says that moving is moving on,  but I don't think that's the answer" Julie said 

"I totally agree with you on that. I mean, I think.. I think moving on has to come from the inside, and one of us took a huge step this morning." dad was so happy it was nice to see him like this

"all our memories of mom are here, and we should be too. can we stay?" I asked really hoping he says yes

"all votes are in.. yes! yes! yes! thank you.. get in here, come on" yayyy we could stay! we all came in for a big group hug we were all so happy "mm! big tight group hug" he added causing us to laugh 

"someone help me find my phone, I need to call the real estate agent" 

"oh um, I think I saw it in the kitchen" carlos is defo up to something now, jeez this kid

dad and Julie walk off the the kitchen and its just me and carlos, he looks at the computer and then  to me 

"what are you up to kiddo?" 

"I.. uhh"

"there's not such things as ghosts"

"but the orbs I mean what could they be?"

"beams of light from the window, it was probably just taken at an odd angle.."

"okay.. ghosts.." 

I chuckled and left him to do whatever he wanted seeing as he was set on finding out they were real

time skip to later in the evening

i was in my room study and then saw my acoustic guitar in the corner of my room, i went over and picked it up and then went to find my song book and practised one of the songs i wrote
