We Met at the Wrong Time

I Can See You

(Ken's POV)

"Ken... Wake up. You're gettin' late.." I heared my mom's voice.

Aishhh.

I get up slowly.

"Arghh"

Gosh, my body hurts. Those bastards!

I did my morning routine and took a bath.

I have a class today.

*

"Ken c'mon sitdown, let's eat." mom said.

I sitted on my chair spot. I took a bacon and a sandwich on my plate and started to eat.

"where have you been yesterday? we're waiting for you. And what's that bruise in your face?" She points her finger on my face " are you alright, son?" she said with a worried voice.

"I'm okay. I told you to not worry about me." I said before I look to my watch and pretend that I'm getting late.

"I'm gettin' late mom, I gotta go." I said, and walk to get my key..

**

I really don't have my first class 'coz my professor can't come today.

So it's too early for me to come to school.

I decided to go to cemetery to visit my twin.

I'm driving my way to cemetery when I suddenly collided someone, wtf!

I immediately stopped the car and ran out to look for it.

But there’s nothing.

I look around but there's no one lying on the ground.

It makes me relieved, I taught its a person.

I took a deep breath.

I was about to get back in my car when I saw a woman looking at me, sitting at the back seat of my car. She is full of blood.

I got in the car and sat on the driver's seat.

"What do you want?" I said to her while looking at her in the rare view.

"Help me... help me..." She slowly replied.

Aish! What they think of me? A ghost helper?!

"I can't, so please leave." I said, with a serious voice.

"Help me... ~"

"I said I can't ! Leave now! or else I'll help you go to hell!" I shouted.

And she dissappear.

Gosh.. She gave me an headache.

I started my car and drive towards the cemetery.

I stop for a minute to the convenient store to buy some drink.

I took a can of soda and a pack of cigarette.

I'm at the counter now and there's a flower that caught my attention.

"3 dollars, sir."

I picked 3 flowers.

"Include this" I said, and gave my card.

"for your girlfriend sir? for sure she will love it" she said, while swiping my card and gave me a smile.

"She's more than that" I replied.

She handed my card to me and I started to walk towards my car.

I lit a cigarette before I started to drive.

***

I put the flowers in front of her grave.

"I brought flowers for you" I said and smiled.

"How are you there? I hope you're doing great."

I look at the flowers.

"Do you remember when we're young, we're always secretly picking flowers of our neighbor, and we're always getting caught." I laughed with sadness.

"they always gets angry to us but I always telling that it was only me who steal the flowers so that they will not scold you." I smiled and bowed my head. "I miss how I protect you. You know even we're a twin, when I'm looking you back then, for me you're my baby sister that I must protect no matter what happen." I look at her grave. when I suddenly saw a girl in my peripheral vision, standing behind not far from where I am.

" I know I'm handsome, but do you mind if you stop staring at me?" I said, loud enough for her to hear; while still looking at Zen's grave.

I slowly turn my head on where she at and look deeply in her eyes that makes her surprised.

(Eli's POV)

I'm roaming around in this cemetery. Goshhhh it's sooooo boring.

" Is there something else a ghost can do except roaming around? Gosh! I'm tired being a ghost!"

i said, as if someone can hear me. Geez

I'm walking lazily, when I saw someone that caught my attention.

He is sitting on the ground while talking to the grave.

I feel the pain in him.

I don't know why but I feel like I just want to stay here and keep looking at him, it's weird.

" I know I'm handsome, but do you mind if you stop staring at me?"

I blink my eyes many time after I heard that to him. Wth? who is he talking to? Is he talking to me?! No. probably not, of course not. Duh, how can he talk to me. I'm a ghost haha.

Maybe he's talking to the grave of his loveone.

I'm still looking at him, when he slowly turn his head to where I am and... Wait what the fvck! Can he see me? No, He's literally looking at me now. C-can he really see me?.

He stands up, and walks away going out in the cemetery. While I'm still here stuck in my place. It feels like I cant move.

There's a lot of questions running in my mind.

"Waitt!.."

"Hey stop! I know you can hear me! Wait!" I said while running after him. Gosh, he has a big step!

Oh gosh, I forgot I'm a ghost.

I close my eyes and disappear and popped at his front.

I slowly open my eyes and see his chest. Gosh he's so tall. No, I'm just smol. Lol.

I lift up my head to see his face and... h-he's looking at me. His face is kinda scary, the heck.

I step back, and hold my hand im my back and I averted my eyes from him.

"Get out of my way" He said with a seriouuuus voice that makes me tremble.

He's so scary. I think he will gonna kill me at any moment. But I'm already dead.... Nooo, i don't want to be a double deaaaddd! T~T

"I just w-wanna ask you s-something" Gosh, I think I gonna pee on my pants anytime right now.

"I don't care. Leave me alone" He replied and start to walk again.

I also walk after him.

"C-can you see me? How? Do you have a third eye? so, you can see me? It's cooool, you know. When do yo started to see a gh..."

"Shut the fvck up! you're voice is so annoying! Just leave!" He stops walking and shouted to me.

That makes my eyes teary.

"I-i just.."

"I don't fvcking care of what you want, okay?! Just leave me alone! I don't care about you! Yes, I can see you! so what?! Just. Leave! Or should I call the grim reaper to take you out in this world?!" He said loudly. and started to walk again towards his car.

I don't know why he's mad.

I just w-want to have a f-friend.

My tears already fall.

I'm standing here watching his car moving away until it's already gone.

I'm walking back inside the cemetery.

Gosh, he's so mean! Do he think that I like him? duhh! Like my butt!

But, how can he see me? I didn't know that there's really people that has a third eye.

I'm at the front of the grave where he was sitting at, earlier.

'IN LOVING MEMORIES OF

Zen C. Del Luna

2002-2012'

"Zen? hmm. I wonder what's his relationship to you."

I look at the picture at the top of her grave.

" You almost had the same face. Are you a twin? I guess so. I hope you didn't have the same attitude, gosh" I said and started to walk away

(Ken's POV)

Arghh! what an annoying day!

She's getting into my nerves!

"I-i just.."

"I don't fvcking care of what you want, okay?! Just leave me alone! I don't care about you! Yes, I can see you! so what?! Just. Leave! Or should I call the grim reaper to take you out in this world?!" I shouted at her and turned around and walked away.

While telling that to her, she pouted like a kid while she has a teary eyes.

I think she's gonna cry at any moment. Gosh, she looks like a kid that will gonna cry as if I steal her candy.

I entered my car and lit a cigarette.

I look at her. She's still there looking at my car with a sad face. Am I too harsh to her? I felt guilt. Do i need to say sorry?

No.. Of course not. She's just like other ghosts, who's asking a help, for them to find their way. And besides, I already answered her question. If I can see her.

"Yes, I can see you." I whispered while looking at her.
