"Listen Bethany, I'm sorry I acted so stranger earlier, there's just something I can't tell you right now...You'll understand soon enough." What could he possibly have to keep secret? I wish he would trust me."I would hope you could trust me, but I won't push the issue any further, William." He smiled sweetly."Would you join me in my study Bethany?" "Of course, I'd love to."
William and I spent the next few hours reading together.It was really a nice evening we had.Then suddenly nature called.So I went to use the rest room.
While I was in the bathroom, I over heard William talking to April; I decided to listen in.Yes, eavesdropping is bad, but I couldn't help it! I was so curious.
"Well, Well! I knew it" April gloated in a snarling voice."You knew what,April?" "Your in love with her William! We're not blind here!" "So what if I am? Is that any concern of yours?" "Yes! Your dead william! Dead! You've been dead for 300 years! Do you think she would even be here if she knew you were dead?" "Of course not, but I can't tell her! I don't want to lose any moments I have with her." "Keeping her here William, your condemning her to same fate as us! "I know that April; but she makes me feel alive again, more alive then when I was alive"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, was this conversation between April and William true?
I bursted through the door.

I wiped a tear away as I ran out into the other room."William!" I shouted when I came through the door.Both He and April turned to look at me.
"Bethany!" Williams looked turned from sadness to horror."Well, Well what a cruel twist of fate" April snarled."William! What's going on" "Bethany, please I wanted to tell you, honest.Its just I was enjoying every moment with you; I didn't want to lose that time.Please let me explain."
William went to hold my hands, but I pulled away.Everything I knew about him was a lie.How could he have kissed me that day in the garden; why did it feel right? How could he hold me so gently? He's dead, all of that was a lie, con, a fairy tale. "Bethany, please; don't do this.I really did want to tell you, but I didn't plan on falling in love with you." April walked over to us.
"You think you know William, but you don't know him at all you foolish mortal! Everything that's been told to you is a lie! You don't belong here." While I was being scolded by April, William was longingly looking at me.
"April why don't you just get out of here!" William was furious, you could tell."Not before I show our dear guest something" She gave a smirk."April don't you dare.."
Right then and there; April transformed into a ghost."What do you think of us now mortal? I screamed and turned to run.William tried to grab my hand."Bethany, please come back." I turned to look at him.
When I turned to look at him; He was crying as if he were heart-broken."Please, Bethany...let me explain." "No! I don't want to hear anymore." I ran out of the room crying.
I don't know where I was going, but I ran through the house, tears pouring down my cheeks.All the while I heard william calling me; there was truth and sadness in his voice but at this point I didn't care.
