You're Not Like the Others
Ch.11
I heard the doorbell ring, so I got up from the couch and answered it.
"MOMMY!"
"Hey baby, have fun?"
"Yeah, I got lots of candy"
I looked at the plastic hallowen container and saw that it was almost over-flowing with candy
"That's alot, Thanks Gloria for taking her"
"Not a problem sweetheart, if you need anything just let me know"
"I will"
we said our goodbyes
"What would you like to eat?"
"I already ate, I had homemade chocolate chip waffles"
"Homemade?"
"Yeah, Gloria's got something in her kitchen that makes waffles"
"Were they good?"
Abby nodded
"Well, lets sort out the candy"
"Trevor told me about that"
"About what?"
"How mommy's and daddy's say that and they take all the good candy"
These kids are getting smart I thought
"I'm not going to take any of your candy Abby, I just want to see if any look weird"
"Why?"
"Because if they look weird that means there no good and you'll get sick"
"Oh"
she then dumped it all of her candy on the coffee table.
Gum, Jolly Ranchers, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Milky Ways, suckers, Tootsie Rolls... Man all these are my favorite, she won't notice if I take some... I thought
I was interrupted by my cell going off
"Hello?"
"Hey Kayla, How are doing?"
"I'm good Zak, how was the lockdown?"
"It was insane, we got alot of evidence at this place, and we might come back"
"That's good to here"
"I was thinking when I get back to Vegas which should be..."
I could just picture him looking at his watch trying to calculate
"In a few hours... me, you and Abby could grab some lunch and maybe head to the park or something"
"We'd like that"
"Alright, well there boarding now, I'll see you two in a little bit"
"Ok"
we then hung up
"Abby, you want to go to lunch with daddy and then go to the park?"
Her eyes lit up
"Yeah"
"Well, I think we need to go get ready"
She then ran up the stairs to her room. I put her candy back in her container and took some that looked 'weird'. I went to her room and helped her get changed. She was wearing a white shirt with the Disney princess's faces on the front of it, pink pants with a darker pink for the flowers, and her Disney princess sandels.
"Mommy, I want piggy tails that's braided"
"Ok sweetie"
we sat on her be and I braided her hair and put her favorite fluffy pink and sparkly pony tail holders in her hair.
She then went to the living room and watched her shows that she loved. I took that oppertunity to take a quick shower and when I got done I got dressed.
It was about 12:25pm when I heard the doorbell ring, so I got up off the couch and answered it
"DADDY!"
And within seconds Abby was infront of Zak wanting to be picked up
"Did you have fun?" Zak asked picking her up
"Yeah and I got alot of candy"
"Really? Well Don't eat it all at once, you'll get sick, it happened to me before"
"Ok"
he then put her down
"You two ready?"
"Yeah, can we go to Long John Silver's?" Aaby asked
That does sound good right now, I haven't had that for a long time I thought
"Sure" Zak said
We made our way to his car.
"So how come you wanted to eat all your candy at once?"
"Because my sister kept stealing it so I was thinking if I ate all of it she couldn't get any...but that plan backfired I was sick for two days"
I giggled and shook my head. When we all got in we took off to Long John Silver's. While we were going there Abby started talking to herself. Me and Zak looked in the rear view mirror and then Zak looked at me concerned and I looked at him
"Probably just her imaginary friend" I said shrugging
I then looked down at Zak's arm and I raised my eyebrow and looked at him again
"Are you cold? Because your hair is sticking up on your arm"
"No, my body does that when there's a spirit near me"
"So you're saying that there's a spirit in your car right now?" I asked as we parked in the parking lot
"It's a possibility"
I just dropped it. Was I a skeptic? No, Was I a believer? No, I don't know what I thought about the paranormal.
"Abby honey, we're here" I said
"Ok..." she said looking at me and then to the side of her "I'll see you later" she said waving
and I noticed Zak's hair on his arm went back down and then we got out and went in the building. We ordered our food and sat down at a booth
"Abby can I ask you something?" Zak asked
she nodded and ate one of her french fries
"Who were you talking to in the car?"
"A friend" she said and took a bite of her piece of fish
"Was it a boy or a girl?"
"Boy, he was tall and friendly"
and that conversation stopped. When we were done we went to the park. Abby was playing with the other kids while me and Zak sat down at one of the picnic tables
"Should I be worried?"
"About what?" Zak asked confused while he put his keys and phone on the tabletop
"About the spirit or whatever she was talking to"
"It was probably just a spirit passing and wanted to say hi to her, I don't think anything came home with me...I usually get the..."
"Evil ones"
"Yeah" he said looking down at his phone
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure"
I looked over at Abby
"Please don't take this question the wrong way but..." I then looked at him "If you have evil spirits following you home all the time, how do you keep you and your friends safe? Why would you risk your life and friend's life for a job like this?"
He sighed and thought about the questions
"I want to prove that there's an existance after death...but I can't really control what comes back with me...I can control what they do in my house and to my friends"
"How?"
"If they get aggresive I get the whole house cleansed and everything is back to normal" he then took my hand "You have nothing to worry about Kayla, you and Abby are safe, trust me"
he looked me straight in the eyes and for some reason I could feel like I could trust him. I smiled at him and interwound my fingers with his
"I trust you"
We stayed at the park for another hour or so and then we made our way back to my home. When we got there we all got out and went inside
"I'm hungry" Abby said
I looked at the clock and it read '6:54'
"How 'bout we order pizza?" Zak suggested
"PIZZA!" Abby said cheering
I chuckled
"Sounds good to me"
Zak called for the pizza and we al sat on the couch and waited. While waiting Abby wanted to play hair stylist with Zak. I couldn't help but laugh at Zak and his reaction when she put a hair brush in Zak's hair. He cringed, closed his eyes, and let out a breath of defeat.
I can tell he doesn't like his hair being messed with I thought amused
Then the doorbell rang and Zak shot up off the couch like he was on fire. I fell over laughing and I saw Zak playfully glaring at me and then he answered the door. I calmed down and got some paper plates, then he put the pizza on the coffee table and I got Abby a couple of slices
"It's not funny"
"What?" I asked trying to play dumb
"You know 'what'" he said and tried to pull me down next to him but I moved out of the way
"You better stop before you make a mess" I said in my motherly authoritive tone
"Yes mother" he then got a slice and I got a slice and sat down next to him
He took another bite and set his plate on his lap and tapped the bottom of my plate causeing my pizza to almost fall on the floor
"Why'd you do that?"
"Do what?" he asked smirking
"Daddy! Mommy! Be nice to each other" Abby said with her hands on her hips
Zak and I chuckled
"Don't worry, we will sweetie" I said
After that little fiasco it was time for bed. Abby went and brushed her teeth and then I helped her change into her Pjs.
"Mommy, I want daddy to tuck me in"
"Abby, he's downstairs resting, come on" I said patting the bed
"NO! I want daddy"
I sighed
"Alright" I then went downstairs to get Zak.
When we made our way to her room she was talking to herself again and Zak's hair's stood up again
"He's here" Zak whispered to me
"Who?"
"The spirit that Abby was talking to earlier"
we then entered her room
"Hey Abby, ready for bed?" Zak asked
"Yeah" she yawned
I stood in the doorway watching the whole scene. Zak picked her up and put he down gently in her bed. Then he took her covers and put them over her and pushed some hair out of her face
"Night Abby" he said gently
"Night daddy" she then closed her eyes
I shut the light off and Zak shut the door behind him
"I guess I better go so you two can get some sleep"
We started for the stairs then I stopped
"Zak"
"Hmm?" he asked stopping on the second step and turned towards me
"Can you stay the night?...I'm kind of worried about Abby and whatever's going on" I said with tears coming in my eyes
He came back up the stairs in an instant and hugged me
"I'm right here, you don't need to cry" he whispered soothingly
We went to my room and laid down. He pulled me into his chest and rubbed my back to calm me down. I felt so safe in his arms and I wrapped my arm around his stomach
Who in the world is Abby talking to? I thought
then I fell asleep.
"MOMMY!"
"Hey baby, have fun?"
"Yeah, I got lots of candy"

First off I hope everyone had a great holiday :) And I'm sooo sorry that this is so late. I've had major writers block, the holidays, no internet, and to top it all off my do got hit by a car a few weeks ago :'(. His back leg was screwed up bad. He punctured 4 arties, some of his muscle tissue is gone and he has a chip in his bone. But he's doing much better now :)[url]www. polyvore untitled_42/set?id=58678147]Polyvore[/url]
