This Is My Ghost Adventures

Ch.20

I woke up to a knock on the door, I opened my eyes and saw Aaron answer it

"What's up Zak?" he whispered

I couldn't make out what Zak was saying, but with the look Aaron gave me I could tell he was asking about me and I just shook my head. Aaron looked back at Zak

"She's still asleep"

then Zak said something

"Alright, see you in a few"

Aaron then shut the door and looked at me again

"He told me to tell you that he's sorry about last night"

"What I want to know is why is he talking through people instead of coming to me face to face?" I asked sitting up

Aaron just shrugged

"Do you want to go down to Starbucks and get some coffee?"

"How are we going to get past the guard dog? Because you know he's watching your room to see when I come out" I said referring to Zak as a guard dog

"Nick will help us"

he then dialed Nick's number and talked for a few minutes and then hung up

"We're all set" he said with a goofy smile

I just chuckled and put my shoes on. Aaron opened the door and peeked his head out and saw Zak's door close. Aaron then motioned for me and we headed to the elevators. We got on the elevator and went to Starbucks.

When we got there I ordered a coffee and Aaron ordered his usual.

"When are we heading back home?"

"We've got to be at the airport around noon..." Aaron said and looked at his phone

"What time is it?"

"It's 10:15"

I almost choked on my coffee

"We've got to get back to the hotel, I've got to take a shower and get my things packed up"

"What are you going to do about Zak?"

"Give him the silent treatment, he deserves it right now"

Aaron chuckled

"What?"

"I have a feeling he's not going to like it and I have a feeling you don't really care"

"Bingo...so if you hear anything being thrown, don't get alarmed" I said as we made it back into the hotel

We then went back up to our floor and I went inside Zak's and my room.

"Morning Candy" Zak said coming up to me with a smile on his face

This was going to be hard to give him the silent treatment. He then hugged me and kissed me on the lips but I didn't kiss or hug back. He then let me go and followed me to the bedroom

"Candy, I'm sorry"

I then pulled out some undergarments, a white t-shirt and some faded jeans

"Will you talk to me?"

I then went into the bathroom and locked the door. I leaned up against it and sighed and I heard Zak walk away from the door. I felt tears run down my cheeks

Why am I being so emotional? I'm never like this I thought

I then got in the shower. When I was done I got dressed and went to my suitcase only to find it already packed.

"Hey Candy, we need to get going" I heard Zak say from the kitchenette

I sighed and grabbed my suitcase and we both headed down to the main lobby. When we got down there Aaron, Nick, and Billy were waiting

"Morning Candy" Billy said

"Morning"

"Ready?" Nick asked

"I guess" I said with a sigh

while we were on our way to the airport my sister text me

Just letting you know me & Thomas fixed up ur home & they caught the person-M
Who was it?-
U know who-M

"Oh my God, they got him"

"Got who?" Aaron asked

"The person that wrecked my home"

"Wow, that was fast" Nick said

They also want u 2 come in 2 verify that it's him-M
I'll do it as soon as we land & thanks 4 fixing the house-
Not a prob-M

We then arrived at the airport. We got through security, waited for an hour and a half and finally got on our plane. I was in the middle isle and Nick and Aaron were sitting next to each other on the right side in the back

Now time for some peace and quiet I thought

I then saw Zak come over to me and sit down

Or not, this is going to be a looong flight I thought

We soon took off

"Candy, will you please let me explain?"

I looked at him waiting for him to continue. He grabbed my left hand and started to explain

"I'm sorry that I didn't say anything to Chad when that happend, my mind was focused on the lockdown and I was still surprised that he agreed to do the lockdown with us"

he then laced our fingers together

"If I hurt you, I didn't mean to, it was an accident...I love you too much to hurt you Candy"

he then kissed the top of my hand. I couldn't take it anymore, my heart ached and I had tears in my eyes

"So do you forgive me?" he asked giving the puppy dog look

I chuckled alittle

"I guess"

"And when we get back to Vegas I'm taking you somewhere nice"

"Where?"

"You'll see" he said and then he pulled my head to his shoulder and kissed my forehead.

I layed my head on his shoulder and dosed off. I woke up to Zak stroking my hair

"Glad you're up, we just landed" Zak said

A few seconds later we got off the plane and got our suitcases

"Ready?" Zak asked me

"For what?"

"To go to my house"

"I was going to go to mine, Morgan and Thomas fixed it up and I need to do a couple of things before you take me somewhere"

"Alright, I'll pick you up at 8"

"Ok"

I then left the airport and went home. When I arrived I instantly saw a different house, it was re-painted to a light blue, new windows, a new door since the other on was busted

Wow Thomas did a great job I thought

He should've done a great job, he owned his own painting and construction company. I parked in my drive way and saw two pots of purple flowers by my front door, one on each side. I got out and went inside the house. In the living room I had brand new furniture, a microfiber tan couch and two recliners, a dark wooden coffee table with glass in the middle of it, a dark colored entertainment center with a brand new T.V on it

This is amazing I thought

I then walked into the kitchen and my countertops werrer replaced with marble, which they needed replaced when I first moved in, I saw new oak wood cabinets, and a new oak wood kitchen table.

I walked up to my bedroom and I found a queen sized bed with a darkwood headboard and a dark wood dresser

I can't believe they did this I thought

I grabbed my phone and text my sister, I couldn't call her because I was speechless

Thank U so much I luv the 2 of u :')-

I guess I need to go to the station to pick him out I thought

I then text Zak

I need u 2 meet me the police station-
Everything ok?-Z
Yeah, just have 2 pick out my dad-
B there in 5-Z
Zak don't get pulled over, I'll b there in about 15-
Alright-

I then grabbed my keys and headed to the police station. And about 15 minutes later I arrived at the police station and parked next to Zak and got out

"Zak" I said warningly

"What? I didn't speed" he said cheekily

I just gave him that 'quit lying' look. We went inside and an officer greeted us

"How can I help you two?"

"I've got to pick out the person that broke into my home and destroyed everything"

"Your name?"

"Candice Wilson"

"Right this way"

Me and Zak followed the officer to a room with a one way window and on the other side was a white wall with measurements on it. They then brought him in that room and my breath hitched. He looked different, he had tattoo sleeve down both arms and a tattoo of a teardrop under his right eye and it was colored in, he had the teardrop before, but it wasn't colored in.

"Candy, are you ok?" Zak asked with his hand rubbing my back soothingly

I looked at my dad and he had that same menicing look like he did back then

FLASHBACK

My parents recently got a divorce and my dad had gotten custody of me. Zak was my next door neighbor at the time and we had the day off from school. We were like best friends and hung out all the time

"Candice, I'm off to work and I DON'T want you hanging out with that boy today" my dad said like he said everyday, but I did it anyway and never got in trouble

"Alright"

"And I want these dishes done and the house vaccumed or you're not going to homecoming" he said with a glare

I've always wanted to go to homecoming

"Ok"

"I'll see you later" he then left

I sighed and started doing the chores. I had finished the dishes and was a quarter of the way through vaccuming when the doorbell rang. I turned it off and answered the door

"Hey Candy"

"Hi Zak" I said with a sigh

"What's up?"

"I can't hang out today, I've got to finish cleaning" I said and was about to shut the door but Zak stopped me

"Well, let me help out, I've got nothing to do"

"Ok"

he smiled and came inside and we started cleaning the house. About 2 hours later we had finished the whole house with vaccuming and dusting

"Thanks Zak"

"No problem"

we then headed to my room and I packed a duffle bag

"What are you doing Candy?"

"I'm packing some stuff, I'm getting tired of being a maid and I want you to take this to your house since you guys are moving tomorrow"

"Candy" he said alittle uneasily

"It'll be fine Zak, I promise"

I finished packing and me and Zak went back to the living room

"Well I'm going to go drop this off at my house and I'll see you later"

I opened the door and he stepped out and then turned around

"Candy?"

"Yeah"

I then felt his lips on mine and we broke apart when we heard a car door slamming violently. We looked and saw my dad with this menicing look on his face and I lost all color

"DAMMIT! I thought I told you not to hang out with him and what do you do?" he asked coming up the steps

Zak got infront of me to protect me

"You go and screw him in my own house!"

"Daddy we didn't do anything"

"Don't lie to me" he said and pushed Zak out of the way

And my dad pushed me inside and shut the door. As soon as the door was shut he back handed me in the mouth and I hit the wall because of the impact. I then smelt alcohol. He grabbed me by the hair roughly and pushed threw me to the floor

"Just like your mother... a slut and weak"

I had tears in my eyes. I knew I had an older sister, but I didn't know he wasn't her real father.

"Get up!" he yelled

I slowly got up and he slapped me in my face and then took me into the kitchen. Once we got into the kitchen he got a knife, my eyes grew wide

"ZAK! HELP!" I screamed as loud as I could

"Shut up...he ain't gonna save you"

he slapped me again and I tasted something metalic in my mouth...blood. I was now crying uncontrollably

"Please stop!" I screeched while trying to get out of his grasp

he then put my arm on the counter and put the blade near my skin

"DADDY! PLEASE DON'T!"

I felt the cool blade on my skin and I closed my eyes ready for pain, but it never came. I opened my eyes and saw my dad on the floor and Zak was infront of me with his left hand balled up into a fist

"Candy let's go" he said taking my arm and we ran to his house as we heard sirens coming.

When I was inside his house there were 3 police cars and 3 officers went inside and 2 of them came to Zak's house to ask questions and take pictures. When that was done I saw my dad come out in handcuffs and they drove him off and Zak's mom cleaned up my cuts.

PRESENT

I had tears running down my face

"Is that him ma'am?"

I just nodded my head and put my head into Zak's chest and sobbed. He hugged me close and didn't let go.

"Do you still want to go out?" Zak asked

I sniffed

"Yeah" I said and looked up at him

"Alright" he said with a smile and kissed me lovingly while wiping the tears off my cheeks

we then broke apart

"You may go now" the officer said

We then left

"Do you want me to come over or do you want some alone time?" Zak asked when we reached our cars

"I think I want some time alone"

"Alright, I'll see you at 8" he then kissed me again

we then got into our cars and headed different directions. Once I got home I fell onto the couch and fell asleep.
