Y/N POV

I'm dead.

I never meant to die.

It felt like going to sleep.

But now I was a ghost.

I died a few months ago. I left eveyone I loved behind. My best friends Julie and Flynn. My sister Carrie. My dad and my life.

I had found out at midnight on a Tuesday that I had gotten into the music program at my school.

I couldn't wait to tell Julie so I decided to walk to her house.

Of course, walking alone at night proved to be a bad choice.

I remember being hit on the back of the head. When I woke up, I was in a hospital. My dad and sister were crying.

I told them to stop because I was right in front of them.

And I turned and saw my body, cold and lifeless on a hospital bed.

I screamed and no one looked at me. A doctor walked through me and I watched as they pulled a sheet over my body.

♫

A week after I died, I found out someone kidnapped me and I was found barely alive on the side of the road outside of the city.

I felt horrible. Julie had just lost her mother and now she lost me.

She spent the past two months crying every night.

I'd sit with her and watch her. She had given up music. Maybe it was because of the text I sent her the night.

I told her I was coming over to give her good news.

But I guess she figured it out.

When they recovered my phone, the texts to Julie and emails from the school were still there.

I think that's when my sister truly went bitter. Carrie gave up on Julie and pushed away everyone. She dated Nick and never went into my bedroom again.

♫

You know, two months being a ghost with no one to talk to took a toll on me.

It was cool being a ghost because I could teleport but I was lonely.

A downfall to my death, I never told Julie how I felt.

I had been in love with her since we were five. It's kind of crazy but my feelings grew for her every day.

I wanted to ask her out, maybe take her to a movie.

Julie Molina had stolen my heart.

So here I was on another night sitting in Julie's room. She had taken out a picture of us from the winter dance a year ago.

Then, in the first time since I died, she sang.

"Yelling at the sky
Screaming at the world
Baby, why'd you go away?
I'm still your girl
Holding on too tight
Head up in the clouds
Heaven only knows
Where you are now

How do I love
How do I love again?
How do I trust
How do I trust again?

I stay up all night
Tell myself I'm alright
Baby, you're just harder to see than most
I put the record on
Wait 'til I hear our song
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost
