“Aiden!” A foggy voice from a distance called to him. Aiden slowly opened his eyes and saw the faint outline of a woman.
“Oh, sweetie I’m so glad you’re up.” The woman exclaimed and hugged him when she saw his eyes flutter open. Aiden knew at that moment he must have passed out in the bathroom and that the images of Ashley and Spencer were all in his head.
“Hey, mom.” Aiden greeted the woman in a small meek voice. He was surprised she tore herself away from her work and replacement family to come and see him.
“Don’t think that way, Aiden.” Spencer’s silky voice called out again. Aiden whipped his head to the right of his bed and saw the transparent bodies of Spencer and Ashley again.
“What are you guys doing here!” Aiden said in panic.
“What are you talking about?” Aiden’s mom, Amanda, questioned. She followed Aiden’s gaze and saw nothing, which worried her even more.
Aiden looked from her to the girls and then back to her. Shaking his head furiously he said, “Nothing.”
“Well, honey, I have to get back to work but I’ll come tomorrow.” She kissed his head a walked out of the room leaving Aiden free to shockingly stare at the two girl, who were supposed to be dead, in peace.
“Dude, close your mouth before you start to catch flies.” Ashley said to him jokingly.
“What are you guys doing, here?” He asked. He felt his whole body start to shake and his boy was wet with sweat.
“Before we tell you do you promise us you won’t pass out, again?” Ashley asked with a huge grin on her face. Spencer gave her a small smile and a nudge with her elbow to tell her not to tease him anymore.
“Yeah.” Aiden said hastily.
“Well, we can’t tell you why we’re here. That’s for you to figure out.” Said Ashley in her ‘know-it-all’ tone.
“Please just tell me because I can’t deal with anymore stress right now.” Aiden pleaded with them. The girls just shook there head no.
“I’m sorry but we can’t.” Spencer said soothingly. “We have to go right now but just know that we’ll come when ever the moment’s right.”
And with that the two of them were gone in the blink of an eye leaving Aiden by himself once more.
