Ghost Of You

Chapter 2. The accident

I still remember it like it was a few hours ago.

I had woken up earlier than normal that morning, since I was going to travel with the girls.

Laura had called me the day before at night to let me know that she would not be able to come and find me because she was going to look for her boyfriend Jason, so today I would have to take a taxi

When the taxi arrived I was sincerely impressed, I thought that the person who was going to find me sitting next to the driver was going to be a 40-year-old man who with the money I gave him for the trip was going to buy a couple of beers, but no, in his place was a blond boy in his early 20s, a piercing in his lower left lip and his eyes, his eyes were blue, he had seen other eyes of the same color before, but his just mesmerized me.

All the trip we were in silence, he with his gaze fixed on the road and I once in a while turned to see him.

When we got to Maia's house, I paid him but I didn't get off without first taking a picture of him secretly, they would call me a stalker but admit it if they were in my place they would have done the same.

-Thanks for bringing me - I said getting out of the car

-It was not pretty - he said

My cheeks were about to explode so I got down as fast as I could so he wouldn't notice.

But guess what, it was in vain because as he was leaving he was looking at me through his rear view mirror and grinning from ear to ear.

I turned to meet the boys but when I was about to greet them I heard a thunderous noise.

When I turned to see what had happened I found something which I did not want to see, a car had crashed into his.

A whole crowd of people was around the two cars waiting to see if they were okay but neither showed any signs of life.

The girls and Jason approached.

"Damn, he was cute, I was going to ask him for the number - Heather exclaimed.

-Heath this is not the time so shut up - Laura said.

"This is horrible, we should go," Jason said.

- No, I'm not going to leave until I know they are well - Exclaimed.

- Ok, if we have no other option - Jason said followed by a sigh.

After about 15 minutes an ambulance arrived.

No one knew the health status of any of the drivers so I approached one of the paramedics.

-It's okay? - I asked referring to the blond boy.

-Your?.

Think, Kate, think.

-Her younger sister - I answered, did Kate really not come up with something better?

-I'm sorry but your brother can't stand the accident and he passed away - Those words fell on me like a bucket of cold water.

He was dead, if he hadn't been looking at me he would still be alive, it was my fault.

I watched as his inert body was taken out of the car.

-Let's get out of this place - Laura said

-Okay - I said in the most expressionless way I could.

I did not know how to feel, the only thing I knew is that I was never going to erase that last look from my mind.
