Olivia P.O.V

My eyes widen open in shock looking at the scene in front of me. I couldn't even believe what I am seeing right now was true or my imagination? But as I blinked my eyes again to see if its real or not. It was certainly real. Colton was playing with Adam in the room. They were both painting while sitting on the floor. Its looked like a normal scene unless you forget that Adam is a ghost and Colton is so much alive. 

How can that be possible? 

Colton couldn't see Adam when we entered here or was he pretending of not seeing him. But how can he see dead souls? There were many questions entering in my mind right now. Like he sensed my presence, Colton stopped whatever he was doing and looked towards the door in my direction. His eyes widen for a fraction second but he composed himself and stood up from his seat. Adam furrowed his brows when he saw Colton standing up and looked in my direction as well. I frowned looking at them. 

"What are you doing here?" Colton snapped at me. Seriously dude. "Shut up" I snapped back at him which resulting in shutting his mouth and frowning at me. 

"You can see him" I stated in confusion. 

"What are you talking about, are you going crazy!" Colton replied rudely. 

"Don't pretend, I saw you and Adam playing" I said going towards them and offering my hand to Adam for him to hold. He quickly latched on my hand and stand beside me looking back and forth between me and Colton. "I don't know what you are talking about" he denied looking at everywhere else but me. I rolled my eyes totally knowing that he is lying right now. "For how long you can see dead souls just like me?" I questioned him. He looked confused for a second but realization dawned on his face. "Oh" he muttered. "For a while" he said discreetly. 

Okay. That's means I am not the only one who is crazy. 

"Isn't it awesome Olivia, he can see me too" Adam said gleefully beside me. "I found out about it last night" he continued. I smiled at him. "Now what" Colton asked looking at me. I just raised my eyes brow at his words. Now what, nothing. "If you want, you can help me with Adam" I asked in hopeful tone. He lived here his whole life. He know every place. He will be useful if he is ready to help us. He raised his eyebrows looking at me for a while. "Nah, I am good" he said bored. I huffed knowing he is just a heartless jerk. He won't help anyone besides him. "I am not asking help for myself, it's for Adam" I tried again looking at Adam with sympathy. He was looking at Colton with hopeful look. "No" he denied without any second thought. "You are a jerk you know that right" I snapped at him and walked away from there with Adam by my side. 

"Why won't he help us Olivia?" Adam questioned with a pout on his face. "Because he is a jerk" I said in frustration. "Beside we don't need his help, we will figure it out ourselves" I assured him. "How?" he asked innocently. I don't know how. But we will do something. "I have an idea" I lied to him, smiling at him. He smiled back at me looking happy. "Come on, let's give water to back yard plants" I asked enthusiastic tone. "Alright" he said and we both made our way to the back yard. After watering the plant and playing a little with water. Okay. More with water. My clothes were dripping wet. It's all because of that little nut cracker. I quickly changed my clothes and went in the kitchen for lunch because by now I was starving. Martha already set the dining table. I took my seat and dig in my food. Adam was sitting beside me staring at me in awe. Okay I am hungry, "Slow down dear, Food is not going anywhere" Martha said filling my glass of water, her tone light. I gulped down my last bite and smiled sheepishly at her. "I was hungry" I said continue eating the food but at slow rate. "I can see that" she said humorously. "Where is Colton?" Adam asked looking around. I looked at Martha; she was busy in clearing counter. "I don't know" I replied. I don't care where that douche is. "Doesn't he eat with you lot?" He questioned curiously. I shook my head. I don't know when he eats. Maybe he doesn't like to eat with people like us. 

He is almighty (Note the sarcasm).

After I finished my food, I went in my room with Adam trailing behind me. I opened the door and groaned in frustration when I saw Colton, the jerk lying on my bed. "What are you doing here?" I demanded. This jerk just denied helping us and now he is in my room like nothing happened. He opened his eyes lazily and looked at us "Can't you see I am lying on the bed" he said in obvious tone. I huffed and went towards my bed. "Get out" I snapped. He rolled his eyes at me."I am here to help you guys, at least you can show some decency to me" he said sitting on the bed and looking at me annoyed. I spluttered looking at him in surprise. He will help us. "Why are you ready to help now" I asked him suspiciously. I don't believe him. "I am just helping this little man here" he said smiling at Adam. It was his real smile. I never saw him smile like that before. "Alright" I said still feeling like something is wrong.

After discussing the story of Adam with Colton. We made a plan to visit Adam's mother to gather as much information as we can. Colton has one condition of helping us that I don't talk to him in public. My ears were red in anger after hearing that but I controlled it for the sake of Adam. I will treat him like he doesn't exist for me. We took Colton BMW, Colton was in the passenger seat while Adam was sitting in the back and I was driving. We are going in the town to Adam's home. Colton gave me the directions. Car ride was lively because Adam kept talking and Colton was replying to him patiently. Sometimes I also gave input in their conversation. 

We finally reached at Adam house. It was one story home. We get out of the car standing in front of the house. Adam was sadly looking at his house. "Come on buddy" Colton said taking Adam hand in his and walked towards the house. I never saw Colton behaving like that since I met him. "Are you coming or not?" he asked looking back at me annoyed. But for me he changed back to his jerk self. I scoffed at him but started walking. They were standing at the front door. I raised my eye brow. "You could have ring the bell" I said to Colton. He just shrugged in my direction. I rang the bell myself. After a while, door opened and there stood a lady in front of me. She looked to be in her late thirties. Her hair was messy and also her clothes were crumbled. When I looked closely, her eyes were red with unshed tears in them. Adam gasp beside me. Tears started falling from his cheeks "Mama" he mumbled looking at the lady with so much love. She must be Adam's Mom. I cleared my throat before speaking. 

"Mrs. Carter" I asked in question. 

"Yeah" she answered in small voice. "Who are you?" she inquired. 

"I want to talk to you about Adam" I said truthfully. 

Beating around the bush will be no good here. Why not start with the truth. Colton glared at me from the other side but I ignored him. I know this wasn't in the plan. Plan was that I will enter in her house with fake story and get as much information about Adam as I can. But looking at her like that I don't think I can manage that. She deserved truth or whatever we have regarding it. She gasped hearing that. "What is it?" she asked hope shining in her eyes. "Can I enter?" I asked instead. We should talk inside about this. "Of course" she said and gestured to the living room. I entered in the house. Colton and Adam both followed me. I sat on the couch and she sat opposite of me. Adam went and sat beside her mother looking at her while Colton sat beside me but with lots of space between us . I rolled my eyes subtly at his behavior. He act like I have some kind of diseases. 

"Tell me what you want to talk about Adam" she asked, her tone was urgent like she was waiting to hear about his son for so long. Now from where do I start. "Now go tell the truth" Colton scoffed beside me. I frowned, he is right. How do I start? I can't just tell her that her son is dead. She won't believe me and I don't have a proof either. I cleared my throat. "Well I have met Adam, He was a good kid" I started on a light note. "What do you mean by 'was', what do you know about him?" she asked anxiously at me. Shit. It was a slip up. I didn't think she would notice. But she is a wounded mother. She will definitely notice if it about her son. Adam was looking at me lips quivering. I looked at Colton for help but he was looking at the other side. I knew that he won't be of any help. I am on my own here. 

"Mrs. Carter, I know I sound weird but I can see ghosts and thats how I met your son" I told her truthfully. She was looking at me confused one second and then in other second her expression morphed into anger. "Do you think its funny" she yelled standing up. I followed suit after her a little afraid of her outburst. "Please listen to me Ms. Carter" I said trying to calm her down. "You get out of my house right now before I will call the cops on you" she snapped at me. I tried to reasoned with her. Adam was also afraid at her mother outburst that he tried to hug her but all that happened is him passing through her body. I felt bad looking at the scene but right now she is glaring at me. 

"Out" she yelled again. 

I quickly walked to the front door and I can hear her walking behind me. I turned around to tried to talk to her one last time but she closed the door on my face. I kept looking at the door for a few minutes hoping that she will open the door some how. But then I sighed and my shoulder shagged in disappointment. I looked around me for Adam but he was nowhere. "Where the hell is he now?" I muttered anxiously to myself.  Is he inside? I can't go back there. Colton is not here either, how he just got away without me knowing. I sat on the porch waiting for them to come outside. I am just hoping that nobody will think that I am crazy sitting on the porch.

I waited for a while on the front porch. People were looking at me weirdly but I ignored them and pretended to look at the ground. My life has became weird and messy from the day I was in the accident. I regret going to my own graduation party. I still could't remember what happened that night. Its like there is a door in my brain which is blocking me to access that memory. Sometimes I dreamed about that night but all things were blurry that it didn't make any sense. I raised my head from the ground and saw Colton leaning on the wall a little distance away from me. Anger filled my body when I looked at him. He just abandoned me when I needed him. I stood up from the steps I was sitting on and went towards him. "You" I growled pointing my index finger in his direction in accusation. "You left me in there on my own" I said in frustration. He merely raised his brow in answer. "I told you I didn't want to help in the first place" he said calmly. Hearing that my anger rise more. "Then why did you pretend to help us" I almost yelled at him. He looked at our surroundings and then suddenly pulled me towards him trapping me in between wall and him. "I told you to go with the plan, that way we would have been succeeded" he said voice chilling. My eyes were wide with surprise and I was feeling nervous with him this close. 

"I.. was" I stuttered affected by his proximity. 

He scoffed by my lack of response and backed away a little. I can breath normal now. "I am not heartless like you" I said bluntly without thinking how it may affect him. Suddenly hurt shown in his eyes but he quickly covered it with cold expression. "You don't know me" he said bitterly and left me there standing alone. I closed my eyes inhaling sharp breaths. I shouldn't have said that. It was too much. Guilt started seeping through me. I looked up when I heard foot steps coming in my direction. I saw Adam walking towards me with sadness clearly shown in his face. 

"Lets go" he said holding my hand in his. 

"Adam" I said kneeling in front of him. I looked around me to see if some one is watching us but there was no one. He was looking at the ground. I put my finger under his chin and moved his head so that now he is looking at me. His eyes were puffy from crying. I didn't know Ghost could cry but here he was in front of him. I hugged him without any second thought. "Everything will be fine" I murmured in his ear patting his back. He started sobbing again on my shoulder. I know if anyone saw me in this position they will definitely think that I am going crazy. But right now it doesn't matter to me. I will help Adam even its the last thing I do.
