GHOST ARRAY

"Anne , let's go already " Claire rushed up to my bedroom and called out to Anne.

Anne and Claire had been bestfriends since middle school and had been with eachother through thick and thin . Anne had found Brian after high school and dated him for 5 years and was so sure they would get married and live a fantasy she'd always dreamed of . On his birthday Anne had prepared a surprise for him in his apartment , she didn't need his passcode because he told her , that was how close they were . No secrets between them. But instead Anne was the one who got a surprise. Brian had brought over a girl home , they happened to be in an heated argument because the girl kept on saying that she didn't understand why Brian was refusing to set a date for their wedding when they have already agreed to get married .

Anne who overheard their conversation came out from her hiding spot looking like a fool with a birthday cake in her hand " marriage?"

" Anne , what are you doing here ?" Brian asked shocked.

" honey , who is she ?" The girl asked looking between Anne and Brian

" h-honey?"

Brian looked at Bridget, the girl " keep quiet, will you ?"

"You bastard!" Anne screamed and smashed the cake on Brian's face " how dare you two -time me ?"

" stop " Bridget said to Anne

" look here, if you have any sense left in your body you would leave this cheater alone . if you don't want to then that's all on you " Anne said to Bridget and looked at briyan " I hope you rot in hell , you asshole " and walked out of his house .

After narrating what happened to Claire, Claire suggested they go on a trip to forget about everything and clear their heads and now that's what they were packing up for.

" I'm done already, okay . where are we going to anyways ?"

" that's for me to know and you to find out "

The girls got downstairs , loaded their loads into the car and drove off with different R&B jams playing over the radio.

Ten hours later , the car came to a stop in the middle of the road .

Anne looked around and said in sarcasm " is this your grand place you had in mind?"

"No, you silly child , i ran out of gas "

" why would you pick a place so far away? "

"Because the further, the better. Look I'm going to look for a petrol station around here"

"Good luck if you find any . "the further, the lesser""

" i hate you Anne,you know that , right ?"

Anne laughed" right back at you, Claire "

Two minutes later , Claire came back

" any luck ?"

" no , but I did find a place we could crash since its already getting late"

" alright, then lets go "

After a two minutes walk , the girls stood in front of HOTEL FRACA.

" what a weird ass name" ANNE said

" I know right ?"

" why is there even an hotel in the middle of nowhere?"

" I dont even wanna think about it. We getting out first light in the morning, agreed?"

"Agreed"

Or so they thought ...

30 YEARS AGO

It was just like every other day, that was the reason Sean hated coming home . The hot sun of south Carlifornia was another thing . As his train came to an halt , he climed down from it and stared ahead at the busy streets. It was close to christmas so there were decorations everywhere. He stood and watched , not out of amusement but because it was exactly how last year was. Nothing changed .Then suddenly a lady bumped into him.

" oh my goodness, I'm so sorry " she apologized and bowed her head and left in a hurry , oblivious to her scarf that fell on the ground.

"Hey, you left -" Sean tried to call out to her but she was gone in an instant .On her scarf , there was a name 'FRACA'. Quite a unique name. He thought .

This christmas was going to be the same as always but with her scarf In his hands , Sean couldn't just help but wonder if Fraca was going to catch a cold later in the day .

* * *.

"You are late again " her boss scolded.

" im Sorry , sir " Fraca apologized.

Her boss grunted in frustration" that's it, hand over your resignation letter "

Shocked she said " what ?"

" you don't want to ? Then you're fired "

" no, thats not it . i'll hand it over , sir".

Fraca left her boss's office and headed over to her desk and started writting her resignation letter. she placed her hand on her chest feeling for her scarf but it wasn't there . she sighed. Could today get any worse? . that was the only gift she had from her mother before she passed away . After clearing her desk she submitted her resignation letter and walked out of where used to be her workplace .

" excuse me, miss Fraca?" a man said to her

"Do i know you ?"

"Ah, I'm the one you bumped into earlier"

"Ah" she bowed her head immediately" I'm sorry "

" I'm not here for that , actually- "Sean said bringing out her scarf" you dropped this"

"Oh" Fraca took her scarf and slowly started crying "thank you ".

Just when she thought she'd lost everything , she found something more important and that was how it all started .From two souls finding comfort in eachother to a beautiful romance that blossomed till Christmas. it wasn't just any ordinary season or year to both of them again . They had something more to remember this time around and also that was when they both died after sharing just months of their lives together and that's how Sean's ghost is still around wanting to take revenge for Fraca's death but how dare those two new guests insult the name of his hotel!!

Yes, he'd heard them because nothing is ever kept a secret from him . The name of the only woman he'd ever love , they'd said it was weird when he first thought it was a unique name . Anger was all that was boiling inside him . They had just awaken a side of him he thought had been dead for 30 years

HOW...DARE....THEY??!!
