All I felt was chills as the ghost girl corrected most of my answers in the interview by whispering the answer to me.
"You can give him the answers now" she whispered in my ears,I obeyed as I weakly gave him the the sheet.
"You can go, we'll call you" he replied
I stood up confused,as I walked out of the office with the girl following me quietly.I got into an elevator to take me downstairs and she followed me.
"I thought I told you to quit following me around,I can't help you" I finally summoned up courage and said
"Is that how you'll appreciate me for the help I offered" she replied ignoring my question, I felt kinda guilty,yeah she helped me but that doesn't change the fact that I don't want her around me.
"By the way I didn't ask for your help in the first place,you just showed up and did what no one asked you to do" I replied in a harsh tone. She opened her mouth to say something but kept quiet without saying a word,I just kept silent too as i waited for the elevator to get to my destination.
Lisa's POV.
I can't believe that he would be so arrogant and full of himself,he can't even be appreciative.
"By the way I didn't ask for your help in the first place,you just showed up and did what no one asked you to do"He said in reply, I was hurt beyond words, I tried to say something but only air escaped my lungs as I kept quiet.
The elevator stopped and the door opened and he walked out and I followed him,I was not ready to leave him even though he won't help me but his the only one that see's me and maybe who knows he'll change his mind someday I muttered to myself.
Jāy POV
"Why don't you just help this girl out and be free?" My mind kept saying to me, I glanced at her face shortly but several times as well walked down the road to my house.
*what or who would kill a cute girl like her? *and why am I the only one that see's her? Different questions kept popping in my head.
🕓🕚🕠🕟
It was a silent long walk to my house,because I don't have money to pay public transport. The compound was empty when I got into my house,jeez I was sweating like a Christmas goat,I turned and glanced at the girl who followed me inside she wasn't even sweating,she looked at me and I immediately shifted my glance to avoid her stare cause she might charm me..
I pulled off my shirt to expose my bare broad and hairy chest and picked up my bucket "what's your name" I asked
"My name is Lisa" she replied and I continued my walk to the bathroom to shower.at least I know her name now,I won't call her ghost girl but lisa.
I got into the bathroom,it was noon so no queue to delay my time. As the water dripped down my body,my mind kept burstling with different thoughts and questions.
"What if I go visit a native doctor and chain this spirit" I thought but kicked against it immediately.
Lisa's POV
He asked my name and I replied,but he didn't say anything but walked out with a bucket in his hand.
I looked around his room the bible still laid around just the way it was when I came in.
The thought of my missing body came into my mind again, "what if my body have decomposed or it have already been buried" I said to myself
Which means I'll continue wandering around with no friends and family.
I was deep in thought that I didn't even notice when he came in..
"Lisa" he called again
"Yes yes" I stuttered as I glanced at his direction
"I'll help you" he said, my heart raced,like I couldn't believe it, did he just say he'll help me
"Excuse me,you'll help me?" I asked again to be sure of what I heard and he nodded
"My name is Jāy" he said extending his hand to me for a handshake, I slowly touch his palm and we shook hands,it been a while I felt someone.
***
I looked at the hand he stretched out for a handshake and tried to go shake him but my hand passed through his hands, I couldn't believe it i thought he touched me the first day we met?, something is wrong and I could feel it.
Jāy's POV
What am I doing,I cant believe am now taking sides with a spirit,it just unbelievable, she tries to shake my hands but couldn't as she tries severaly but still couldn't,her countenance changed as she looked sad and worried.
The door immediately creaked open and josh came in and caught me with my hand stretched out
"Jāy! Are you sure your okay" josh as he looked at me inquisitively
"It the girl the ghost girl I told you about,she here" I replied and pointed to her direction
"He won't see me" she mumbled as she glanced at josh and the bent her head sadly
"Over here" I said again, josh looked around but from his reaction I'm sure he didn't see her
"Jāy,common ghost aren't real" josh yelled at me immediately starting me "your going crazy what ever you see is not real, you need to visit a mental institute or a psychiatrist to help you cause your getting out of control" he said loudly in an angry tone "am your friend jāy and i wont let you do anything stupid" he added and walked out of my room
I was dumbfounded and speechless what if his right,what if I'm going insane,what if all of these are the plan of my enemies to hinder my succes,all these questions kept popping up.
"Jāy,please am not here to destroy you, am real" I heard her say,but I couldn't reply her as I just staggered backwards and fell back on my bed confused.
Do I help her
Can someone tell me what to do?
