Part 9: The Ghostly Visit

Torchick, I’m not sure if you’re supposed to do the next part so I am. 
Enjoy!

	Bobby hopped into his car and sped off towards the police station. Could it 
really be real? Or was Apryl just using this as an excuse to talk to him? He 
was about to find out. He pulled into the Police Station parking lot and 
rushed inside. Inside, he found Apryl distraught and was yelling at an 
officer.

	“WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE SUSPECT GOT AWAY???!!!” Apryl yelled with tears in 
her eyes. “THE PSYCO KILLED MY BEST FRIEND AND HE JUST GOT AWAY??!! AREN’T 
YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING???!!!” She screamed. Instead of talking to Apryl, 
he hopped back into his car and drove home again. He slammed the front door 
so hard that the whole house shook. Holding back tears, Bobby plopped onto 
the sofa and turned on the T.V. It was a report about how the suspect had 
escaped before the police had been able to identify him. Bobby shut it off 
and threw the remote onto the other side of the couch.

	“Bobby?” Asked a voice behind him. He turned around and his mouth dropped. 
Jenn was standing there right behind the couch. There was only once 
difference. She was a silvery color and he could somewhat see through her. 
It was Jenn’s ghost.

	“Jenn? What are you doing here?” He asked. She stared sadly at him.

	“It’s about you and Apryl.” She replied slowly. Bobby blinked.

	“What about us?” He asked coldly. This time Jenn blinked.

	“I do think you’re being unfair to her.” Jenn said quietly. Bobby’s mouth 
thinned.

	“Unfair how? Am I supposed to be happy that one of my friends died?” He 
asked.

	“No. But the point is, she is as upset as you are. She’s just trying to 
cope with it. It doesn’t help that you are being a jerk to her for that.” 
Jenn scolded. Bobby pondered this thought.

	“I guess you’re right.” He said with a smile. She smiled at him and then 
slowly faded into thin air. Bobby sighed and picked up the phone. He dialed 
Apryl’s number. It rang for about 4 times before she picked up.

	“Hello?” She asked. Bobby took a deep breath.

	“Hi Apryl. It’s Bobby. Listen, I just wanted to say sorry to you. I’ve been 
acting like a jerk lately. I finally realized that maybe you’re handling 
Jenn’s death differently.” He said. There was a pause.

	“So we’re friends again?” She asked. Bobby smiled.

	“Yep. Friends again.”
