Xavier Pov.
I saw the way he looked at her, it was so obvious I have known Zion all my life and he never looked at anyone that way.
The look of love
He wants her
And I want her too
At that moment I knew I had to make things clear, I was ready to fight for her.
But he back down so easily.
Zion occoner never backs down for anyone most especially not for me. Everyone knows zion to be competitive.
And he never loses.
He loves to win.
A part of me was quite disappointed.
I won't get in your way.
And he sounded so honest about it. Zion always gets in my way. So what's different this time around.
Has he really change.
Do I really want him to change.
I know I'm sounding so selfish right now.
But I can't help it. I'm use to arrogant Zion the nonchalant Zion occoner.
Who doesn't give a fuck about anyone. But the Zion I met today looked so fragile.
Since when did he become a crybaby.
Limah stirred in her sleep bringing me back to reality.
I chuckled lightly pulling her closer to my chest.
She's just too cute.
After my mom I never thought I could love someone this much.
A part of me died when my mom died.
I felt so devastated my mom was my everything without her I was incomplete.
I finally came to the conclusion i was incapable of loving someone.
The love I had for my mom was not enough to keep her with me.
I knew love wasn't met for me.
Until Limah came along. The mere thoughts of letting her go drives me nuts.
I hate seeing her cry it rippes me
Her dad is gonna pay for every single pain he caused her. I'm definitely making sure of that.
"Xavier why aren't you sleeping" I Heard Limah say staring at me with sleepy lazy eyes.
"You always tell me to get out of my head"
But now you stuck in yours " she added yawning slightly.
"Ghost do sleep right, you have slept here countless of times geez what I'm i even saying"
"Xavier"
"Shh I can't sleep tonight" I whispered in her ears.
"But why"
"Tonight is ghost hunting day, were numerous ghosts come into the human world and capture at least one thousand humans for a ritual"
"I'm here to protect you so I can't sleep " I explained further trying hard not to laugh.
"Oh my God Xavier are you for real" Limah asked looking at me with scary eyes.
"Yeah of course" I said lying through my teeth.
"This is so bad" Limah mumbled shaking mildly.
I could feel her starting to panic I knew it was time to end my silly games.
"Hey hey baby I'm just messing with you" I said kissing her temple. Pulling her more closer to me.
"What"
"Why would you do that I almost had an heart attack"
"What if I had died Xavier" she said sighing dramatically.
"Never gonna happen, you stuck with me forever"
"Hmm not bad"
"Forever sounds perfect"
She laughs into crook of my neck a sound so light and delicate that I wanted on repeat for eternity.
"Thank you"
"For what" she asked looking at me with confuse eyes.
"For coming into my life" I whispered kissing her softly.
"You know after my mom's death my heart has been filled with so much darkness and grieve I actually saw nothing meaningful to life.
"That's why when I become a ghost I didn't care because I saw no reason to live for"
"But now having you in my life and being here with you is something I cherish so much, words can't explain how much you mean to me"
"You bring light into my life I literally want to live inside you I want to breath the same air as you do to be buried inside, I want you all for myself.
"That's how selfish I am when it comes to you limah"
"I love you"
"I love you so much, that it hurts every second spent away from you it's like a life time, that's why I will do what it takes to be come human again, I need to act fast.
"Because I can't wait to show you off to the world you deserve to be loved out loud" I said confessing all the feelings inside of me.
Limah gasped at my confession staring right back at me with so much emotions in her eyes.
"I-ii-" Limah tried saying.
"Hey you don't have to say anything"
"Xavier" she whispered weakly.
"Shhh I know" I said giving her a reassuring smile pulling her closer.
"Now sleep, remember you have school tomorrow"
Limah sighed softly, gently closing her eyes.

"Xavier you have been spending all of your time in the human world now"
"I remember how you hated going there I always had to drag you alongside with me" Adam added.
"But now you leave me here all by myself, and you would be gone soon anyway" he said whining.
"I'm gonna miss you" Adam faked crying hugging me tightly.
"Geez man get off me" I said pushing him away from me. He's always too dramatic and it's annoying but I love him still.
Adam has always been hyperactive he likes making everyone around him happy. I'm glad I got to meet him.
But I know it was just a facade
It was all an act he put out on the outside to look strong but on the inside he felt nothing but numbness.
Adam was quite older than me but he doesn't really act like he was. He often likes being babied.
He never really told me his story.
When ever I tried bringing it up he always brush it off I got to realize it was a painful memory for him.
That he doesn't want to remember nor talk about.
"Xavier I'm right here" Adam said still lying on the ground.
Geez I didn't even push him that hard.
"Common man help me up" he said reaching out his hands towards me.
I tried helping him but he pulled me down quickly to the ground getting on top of me. Tickling me hard.
Damm I should have expected that, I knew he was up to something.
"Get off get off I told you countless times I'm not sensitive" I said trying hard not to laugh.
Adam kept on tickling me harder this time wanting a reaction.
"Ok ok you win" I said laughing loudly still trying to get Adam off me.
I heard the opening of the door interrupting us both from our foolishness.
"What are you guys doing" Mr noah stood by the door staring at us weirdly.
We stood up abruptly.
"He started it" we said at the same time pointing at each.
"Quit fooling around both of you" Mr noah said chuckling slightly.
"Xavier I need to talk to you" he added walking out the door.
"Now" he shouted from down the halls.
Geez that man walks too fast I said to myself, I quickly turned to give Adam the middle finger shutting the door fast behind me.
"Oh man fuck you too" I heard him shout from behind the doors
I smiled lightly jogging towards Mr noah's office.
"Come in Xavier" Mr noah said from the inside.
"How does he know I'm already here" I mumbled to myself.
I pushed at the Giant doors stepping inside.
"Xavier you know you seem different this pass few months" mr noah walked towards me placing his hand around my shoulder.
"There's is these sparkle in your eyes, which have never been there before"
"And I know she's responsible for it and I'm also glad" he said smiling at me.
"You know what I told you about you being human again, I have been reading about it for quite some time now.
"And it seems like your soul lies between the human world and the ghost world" he explained further.
"There is a powerful spell to break the portal your soul lies within but it can be dangerous so it all depends on you as I have said before can your body withstand what is about to come"
"Remember your body was never found when you died so you have to find your lost body and return your soul back to it" he said explaining each words carefully.
"So Xavier make sure your soul doesn't get lost, if it does you will remain a ghost forever"
"You have to be very fast time won't wait for you, if you can't find you soul before the time and return it back to your body"
"But if you succeed in doing that before the time runs out You will automatically wake up in the place you died in the human world".
"So when ever you are ready the ritual will be performed on you here. which will take you to the other realm were you have to search for you body and soul.
I just stood there trying to comprehend all what I have been told.
"Remember Xavier your time is ticking" Mr noah said slowly.
