I almost reached the door, when William appeared behind me, I wanted to curse, yell, push him! He lied to me and I wasn't happy."Bethany, please at least listen to me." His eyes were pleading, sad and lonely."Fine, but after that I'm gone." "If that's the way you want it" William gave a sigh of despair, I felt remorseful for some of things I have said to him.He lead me to the library where we sat and talked.
"Yes, its true.I'm dead, we're all dead.We have been for 200 years; I wanted to tell you, but I enjoyed being with you, I didn't...I didn't want to scare you away." I felt my face heating up, I was about to cry."How did you...die?" He smiled, I felt that warm feeling again, I still liked him...Did I? NO? Yes? I was confused."You already know Bethany." I suppose he was right, the dream I had....It was true, but why was I in it?" "Who was she?" I was curious to know."That was Emily, she and I were to be married, Leota was jealous and killed her on the night of our wedding.You know the rest" I felt bad for him, he was so lonely and heartbroken."Why am I here?" His loving expression changed, his ghostly features were showing."We need help, we're cursed, none of us can move on until someone helps.Your grandmother said you could be of some help, so I requested you to come.I had no plans of falling for you.I'm sorry Bethany." I did still care and I wanted to help.He kept fiddling around with his fingers."I'll help you William." William got up, grabbed my hand lead me outside."William..."
Before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed me and kissed me.I was shocked, yet it felt so good.I was happy.
"Bethany, I'm sorry...Its just that I....love you." He looked embarrassed to say it."Don't apologize William.And I love you" He just looked at me with those loving eyes."I'm happy to hear you say that; since you know the truth now.."
