The Boy That Lives In My House

Chapter 13

we stare at each both shocked but I don't know why he's shocked he's in my house.

I scream and throw my bottle water at his head
"Ow" he says, I try to run past him but he grabs my arm

"Please don't hurt me" I say trying not to cry he stares at me and then my arm like he's amazed, he let's go of my arm

I back up until I hit the wall.

"W-What do you want" I stutter

"You can see me" he says in disbelief

"Of course I can see you" I roll my eyes

"How"

"Because I'm not blind" I look at him confused "why are you in my house" I'm starting to get mad

"Your house" he chuckles

"Yes my house now I'm going to ask you to leave before I call the cops"

"They can't help" what does he mean by that

"Have you been living in the basement?"

"yes" almost sadly but that explains why I've been hearing noises but how did aunt Lora not see him

"Why?"

"It's hard to explain"he sighs

I'm about to say something else when I hear the door open.

"I'm home" I hear aunt Lora yell
Im saved

"Your in so much trouble" I whisper, he smirks
Aunt Lora walks into the kitchen

"Have you ate?" She ask me looking right at me

"Uh hello?" I ask confused pointing at the boy

"What?" She says equally confused

"She can't see me" the boy says, I scoff

"Okay is this a joke" I ask looking at both of them

"Are you okay sweetie" she walks up to me puts her hand on my forehead checking for a fever which I don't have

I close my eyes taking a deep breath how can she not see him, I'm going crazy.

I open my eyes to see aunt Lora warming up a pizza and the boy is gone.

Maybe it was all in my head but I still can feel where he touch me on the arm.

LUKE POV

She actually saw me I don't blame her being scared I would be too.

I go upstairs and see her on the floor she must of tripped or something I pick her up and lay her on the couch.

I can't believe she can actually see me it's impossible, I'm dead and she's alive.

I head back downstairs before her aunt gets home.

That girl Jess doesn't come back down to the basement the rest of the night.

I heard them leave for work and school this morning maybe she thought she dreamed it or something it's probably for the best.

I heard someone come home which I'm guessing is the girl Jess she's been really quiet today I hope she's okay maybe I should check on her?

I walk up the basement steps trying my best to be quiet, I look in the living room and I don't see anything I hear something in the kitchen I try my best to be quiet but these stupid floors creak.

I stop when I hear her say something but I can't understand.

Then she says "is someone out there come out"

I take a deep breath maybe it was all in my head maybe she can't see me and I imagine the whole thing.

I take a step forward until I'm in the kitchen we just stare at one an other both shocked that we can see the other I was about to say something but before I can she's screams and throws her water bottle at my head.

"Ow" I say rubbing my head she tries to run past me I grab her arm to see if I can touch her as well as see her and I can she has soft skin

"Please don't hurt me" she says, I look at her she looks scared I didn't mean to scare her
She back up till her back hits the wall

"W-what do you want" she says

"You can see me?" I say still not believing

She rolls her eyes and says "of course I can see you"

"How" there's no way that is possible

"Because I'm not blind. Why are you in my house" I can tell she's irritated I don't blame her

"Your house" I can't help but chuckle

"Yes my house now I'm going to ask you to leave before I call the cops"

"They can't help" no one can I can't leave this place no matter how much I want to

"Have you been living in the basement?"

"Yes" I say sadly

"Why?"

"It's hard to explain" I sigh not knowing how to tell her

I look at her she has really pretty eyes their so green.

I hear the front door open and hear her aunt.

"Your in so much trouble" Jess whispers to me I can't but smirk

"She can't see me" I know that because I've been in the same room with her and she never reacted

Her aunt walks into the kitchen asking Jess if she's ate.

"Uh hello" Jess points at me I try not to laugh

"What?" Her aunt looks confused

"She can't see me" I tell Jess she scoff at that

"Okay is this a joke" she asks looking at me then her aunt

I can see her aunts worried about her Jess closes her eyes taking deep breaths I look at her one more time and I make my way down to the basement I can't keep the smile off my face someone can actually see me.
