Ghost boy love story

My name is Zack, I was 19 when I died.

This is how it happened. I was at a party and I walked in on my girlfriend sleeping with a different guy so I ran out and kept running. Eventually I started getting tired, so I sat on the swing and started thinking about how much she hurt me. I loved her so much it made me crying.

It was a good thing it was around 12 pm or one of my friends would have seen me crying. That's what I was thinking at the time anyways. I couldn't stop crying it hurt too much, but then I heard laughing from behind a tree. I shot up off the swing then five big guys walking out from behind the tree.

“Look at the cry baby,” one of them laughed.

Which made the rest laugh.

I wiped the tears away from my eyes and pulled myself together. “Get lost,” I said.

But they didn't. They all walked up to me and made a circle around me. I started to get scared, but I couldn't move.

“So what's wrong with the baby?” One of them asked.

"Nothing," I snapped at them.

But all they did was laugh then they started shoving me around while they kept laughing. The guys must have been drunk. I could smell it on their breath, but then I fell the ground. One of them pulled me back up to my feet. I wanted to cry, but I had to stop myself because they wanted me to cry. I could see one of the guys with a beer bottle, then I heard a smash. The guy broke the bottom off of it . I started freaking out. I tried to run, but the guys just kept pushing me back.

“Let me go,” I kept shouting at them.

But they just kept laughing. I tried to push past them again, but they pushed back. Only this time I couldn't stop, I started falling. I felt was something going into my back and then a sharp pain. I fell to my knees. I could taste blood in my mouth, then I fell flat on the ground. I couldn't breath and the guys were freaking out.

“Shit! Dude, what did you do? We were going to cut him not kill him!” One shouted.

“Shit! We still have time. Let’s just call someone!” Another one shouted.

“We can't! We'll all be put in jail for this!” Another reasoned.

“F**k it. Let’s just go,” the first one said.

Then I heard the foot fall of them running away. That's when the tears started running down my cheeks. I looked up at the sky to see the moon. It was bright and very beautiful then everything went black. When I woke up, I was still in the park. I got up to my feet, then I looked down. There was no blood on the ground. I put my hand on my back where the bottle went in, but there was nothing. I looked up in the sky and the sun was up. I looked around, there was police tape on the entrance to the park. I walked to it. I was about to walk out of the park, but instead I walked into something and it hurt. It was like a glass wall. I couldn't see anything, but I could feel it

“What?” I asked confused.

I ran to the other side of the park to the other entrance, but the same thing happened. So I tried climbing the wall, but I couldn't. I was trapped inside the park. I could see people walking past the park, so I started hitting the glass and shouting.

"Help me," I shouted, helplessly, over and over again.

But they kept walking. I did this for a long time, but nothing happened, so I sat under a tree and cried. When I looked up, I saw a lot of flowers lying on the ground. I didn't see them before. I slowly got up and walked to them. There was a small card lying with them. I opened the card and I looked inside. It had my name. I was so shocked.

"No!" I shouted in disbelief.

I shot up to my feet and started kicking the flowers, but it didn't do anything.

“I am not dead!” I kept shouting over and over again.

Then I stopped when I saw a policeman removing the tape. I ran to him .

“Hello,” I said.

I was standing right in front of him, but nothing. He just kept removing the tape, then he left. I tried walking out the park after him, but of course, I couldn't.

“So, it is true,” I said defeated.

Then I walked over to the swing and sat down in it.

“If I am dead, then why am I still in the park?” I asked myself.

Days passed and no one came into the park. I just sat there on the swing bored as hell until one day a girl/boy about my age came in. I've seen her/him before, but I couldn't think where. I watched her/him as she/he sat on the swing next to me she/he had a sketch book and a pencil in her/his hands. She/He opened her/his sketch book, so I looked over her/his shoulder at her/his sketch book. She/He was looking for a blank page, I think. She/He was really good at drawing. She/He kept going through it, but then stopped and at a drawing of me, it was in a classroom I was smiling then it hit me.

“( Your name here, )” I said out loud.

( Your name, ) was a girl/boy in my class she/he always sat in the back of the classroom, she/he never spoke to anyone not even the teacher. I never paid much attention to her/him. I did think she/he was cute, but that was it. I didn't know anything about her/him. I snapped out of my thoughts, when I heard (your name) crying. She/He was looking at the drawing of me.
Did she/he like me? I wondered to myself.

I stood up from the swing, which made it move, ( your name ) quickly looked at it . She/He seemed a bit scared .

“Hello?” She/He said.

That was the first time I ever heard her/his voice, it was like music to my ears. I slowly walked in front of her/him. I put my hand on her/his cheek and she/he must have felt my hand, because she/he jumped a little bit, but then relaxed. She/He reached up and put her/his hand on mine, then a small smile came to her/his face. Her/His smile was so beautiful it made me smile, then I moved my hand.

“( Your name, )” someone shouted. It was a woman.

She/He stood up closing her/his sketch book, then walked to the end of the park. I followed her/him to the entrance then stopped. She/He stepped out of the park and then stopped and looked back at the swing set, then walked away, so I went back to the swing set. Weeks passed and ( Your name ) came back every day and sat on the swing next to me, she/he would bring something every day her/his sketch book, music, books and even word searches. I loved spending time with her/him. I found out a lot of stuff about her/him that I didn't know before, when I was alive. The whole time I was with her/him, I couldn't stop thinking, I wish I know her/him when I was alive. And every time she/he left, I wished I could go with her/him .

Two weeks later me and ( your name) were sitting in the park listening to My Chemical Romance the CD ended, then ( your name ) was shouted for again. We got up together and we walked to the entrance. She/He walked out and I put my hand out to touch her/his back like I always did, but this time instead of the glass stopping me it didn’t, so I slowly walked out of the park. It made me smile and I followed ( your name ) her/his house. She/He closed the door behind her/him. I put my hand out it and it went right through the door, so I slowly walked into ( your name )’s house. I followed her/him up the stairs to her/his room. She/He was changing her/his clothes into her/his night clothes and when I saw her/him with no top on, I quickly turned around and looked at the door. I knew she/he couldn't see me, but there was no way I was going to be a perv ghost. The lights went out, so I turned around to see ( your name) get into her/his bed. I walked over to her/him and climbed in with her/him. She/He shivered a little, so I put my arm around her/him which made her/him shiver again, but she/he still smiled.

“Zack?” she/he asked.

I kissed her/his cheek, she/he turned around and smiled. We both cuddled until we fell asleep. I stayed with ( your name) in her/his house and I went everywhere she/he went. I went to school, shopping, clubs, walks and even to the park. I would always touch her/his back or her/his cheek to let her/him know that I was there. She/He was always smiling when she/he knew I was with her/him. I spent a lot of time with her/him and I eventually fell in love with her/him, big time. And I couldn't stop thinking I wished I'd talked to her/him when I was alive.

I watched over ( your name ) all her/his life. I watched her/him get boyfriends, but that would always make me sad to see her/him with someone else. She/He would always talk to me, which made me smile, but one day ( your name ) had just broke up with her/his boyfriend. She/He went running up the stairs to her/his bedroom and I followed after her/him. When I got there she/he was lying on her/his bed crying. I sat with her/him and cuddled her/him.
Then she/he started talking, “Zack, I know you can see me and you’re always with me. And I am so glad you are and I want you to know that I love you. I always have and always will.” She/He cried.

I kissed her/him on the cheek.

“I love you too, ( your name ),” I said, but of course she/he couldn't hear me.

Years went on, and I watched, (your name), get old, but I stayed 19. I always slept beside ( your name ). Even when she/he got marred. And even though she/he was married, I knew she/he loved me more than him because she/he would always smile when I laid down with her/him.

(Your name) lived until she/he was 96, then she/he passed away in her/his sleep. I was dragged back to the park. I was lying on the ground, when I got up to my feet. I heard the swing moving and turned around to see (your name) swinging. She/He was 19 again. She/He stopped the swing and jumped off and ran over to me. I gave her/him a huge hug.

“I knew it was you, Zack.” She/He smiled.

“I am so sorry it took me so long to notice you, (your name),” I said about to cry.

We pulled away.

“It's okay, Zack.” She/He smiled again.

“I love you, (your name),” I said.

“I love you too, Zack,” she/he replied.

I finally kissed her/him on the lips. I could feel the love in the kiss when we pulled away.

“I wish I had gotten to be with you when we were alive,” I said.

“We can be with each other now.” She/He smiled and I smiled too.

“Will you be mine forever?” I asked her/him.

“Yes.” She/He smiled.

We kissed again and then ran over to the swings, where we played. And we did we spend forever together. We didn't need to be alive to be together or even be in love .
