The story of a voicless ghost

Chapter eight

It was night, we had only the light of the moon to help us see. I was sitting in the bed that once used to belong to Abel but my mind was somewhere else, it was wondering what had truly happened to Abel, trying to get a clear idea but all it could get were dead ends. Abel saw my frustration I guess because he grabbed my hand and gave me a small smile, there was something about him that just made me feel safe. But this time his eyes looked at me in a different way, they had a certain glow, I felt them looking at every possible detail of my face like he was hoping to remember it.

I suddenly started to feel warm, I didn't know why though...was I blushing? I had spent a lot of time with him but it still didn't make sense. He suddenly faced me and with his other hand he started playing with my hair, he looked so satisfied in that moment that I didn't even dare to say anything. His hand started to go down to my face, his fingers touching every corner of it until it came to a stop to my lips, I raised my eyes to look at his, he looked...like a child that had found his most precious treasure.

He swallowed and continued going down, my heart now beating fast and my brain filled with confusion, what did I feel for him? At first I saw him as a very special friend but these days I've found myself looking at him for a bit too long, lost in those eyes. He had reached my neck and explored every part of it while I was trying to remind myself to breathe, a part of me wanted him to continue and let him explore every bit of my body but I was afraid somehow of what would happen after. I looked at his face, I knew he wanted to continue too but I guess he thought the same thing, he pulled away and let go of my hand. 

I thought that I would feel better but I found myself more confused and to be honest I felt worse than I had before. I looked at his face that was now looking at another direction and then I finally took the decision of what I wanted to do but I somehow felt powerless. Just when I was about to give up he glanced at me looking worried, I didn't think it through and just got as close as I could from him. My hand in his right cheek feeling that warm feeling I had every time I touched him, my heart racing but my mind decided, I closed my eyes and got even closer. My lips where pressed into his, the feeling was so different than any normal kiss it is hard to describe it, he didn't back out, he just made me get closer. The moment was full of passion, more than I would feel with anyone else but there was also a bit of fear of the uncertain. 

He was so delicate when he laid me in his bed, he looked so happy it made me smile. He took my shirt off and I took his, we both explored with our hands every part of each others chest hoping the moment would last forever. He laid next to me and looked at my eyes, he didn't have to open his mouth to tell me what he wanted to say...

I woke up with that ghost that I had fallen for next to me, he was staring at me looking so pleased. 

"Thank you" he said.

"What for?"

"For giving me a memory to treasure"

I smiled at him but then it started fading away as I realized that truth that we had decided to forget yesterday, he wasn't going to stay here forever. One of the things that I realized on this adventure was that his unfinished business was that he didn't remember his past, it fitted perfectly, once he had remembered how he died he would disappear. I felt selfish when the idea of making him stay here came to me as I remembered how his face was full of pain when he had admitted that he didn't remember his life or the time his face was full of joy when he was starting to remember. 

I just knew that he would never feel fully complete until he truly remembered but I didn't wanted him to, I wanted him to stay with me in this place where all of this adventure had started. I started wishing that I could turn back time, to have made him leave his room or maybe never even finding this place if it would make the pain go away. A tear had fallen on my cheek and I hadn't even noticed but I quickly wiped it out, I didn't want Abel to see me like this or at least not today.

I got up and changed, when I had reached to my shoes I could only find one. I bent down to the bed to look for my shoe but I found more than that, there was a box in there. I called Abel and he quickly headed towards me, I handed the box to him but he didn't seem to remember it . I opened it and it was full of letters, we guessed that they were letters from Charles and Melodie and thought that we wouldn't find anything that we had already known so we just returned the box to its place.

Oh how wrong where we...
