Chapter 12 (1/2)

Face The Reality

[Jessica’s POV]

It was a wonderful night for me, because I am with him. Almost all of the people in the prom saw me with him, they who Allen is to me.  Are we together already? Maybe? I don’t know. But we kissed so we are? Should I ask him? It is not bad to ask right?

I got up on my bed early, I had a good sleep.. It was like a fairy tale happened to us last night. I peek below to greet him good morning. But he did not notice me. He is just there with a close eyes and crossed arms.

“Hey Allen! I said good morning.” I said to him again but did not respond.

“Heey!” I said again.

“Why?

“You are thinking deep.” I pout.

“S-sorry!”

“What are you thinking?”

“Nothing..by the way good morning” then he kissed me in my forehead.

Days pa.s.sed I noticed that there is something different with Allen. When I am talking it seems I am talking to air. He looks ill, sad, he doesn’t smile and laugh anymore. Like he is always in deep thought.

“Hey! Are you listening?”

“See. You are not paying attention.” I said pouting.

“S-sorry.”

“What’s wrong? This past few days you seem to have a problem.”

“Nothing. What are you saying earlier?”

“I said, why don’t we go to Disneyland? Or Korea is even better.”

“I can’t.” I was shocked at what he said.

“What? B-but..”

“It was just only for that night. I cant go anywhere again.” He sadly said.

“But why?” I still can’t believe it.

“Just be thankful Jessica, for you and for me it was just like a fairy tale right?” He said and smiled at me.

“I don’t understand.” I said confused.

“Do you remember the story of Casper The Friendly Ghost?”

“Yes I remember. What about it?”

“You watched it with me when you were young. Casper is a ghost and could not go to the Halloween party with the girl.” He said.

“Yes I remember, then the girl’s mother who is also a ghost came and gave Casper a chance to become human.” I continued.

“But it was only for a few hours, then he danced with that girl till the time was up.” He added.
