I was on my way back home, singing along to the song that Claire and played for me. They were actually a pretty good band, All Time Low. The whole time I had stayed with Lily and Claire, I had refused to think about what Lily had told me to. Told her I would in the car. I was almost home and I still hadn't tried to figure out my feelings.

I wasn't looking where I was going properly. Was just driving through town to get home.
"Jesus christ!"I breaked suddenly when my eyes caught sight of it. A horn blared behind me so I quickly pulled over so they could pass. I couldn't stop myself from getting out of the car to look at it.

Gerard's old apartment building was now abandoned. There was a pathetic looking fence circling round it but I could see three spots where teenagers had managed to get over and play in the creepy building.
"You ever been in there?"Someone said right in my ear.
I jumped away and looked to the voice,"Sorry?"

It was a young guy, still in his teens definitely, looking at me with interest,"You ever been in there?"
"Uh- yes. When it was still occupied."
"You know why its abandoned?"

"No."
"A woman died there. There was a gang member that lived here. And this woman pissed her off, threatened the guy or something. So the guy got his whole gang and blew up her son's apartment. Now, they say she haunts the building. Thats why everyone left and the place went bust. Nobody wanted to live in a haunted apartment complex,"He gave me a spooky grin.

I cleared my throat,"Why- why would she haunt the place?"
"She searches floor 8, looking for her son and looking for the guys who killed her,"He winked at me,"People said they could hear her at night. Calling out for him. Frank! Frank!"
I stumbled backwards into my car, looking at him like he was wild.

Up until this point I had been a little pissed off that Mum had been turned into a fake ghost story. At the mention of my name though, my heart rate had picked up and I started freaking out inside.
"Take a look my friend. But you're better to bring someone with you. Don't want to be there alone in the dark,"He grinned,"By the way. Nice tats."
"Oh... Thank- thank you,"I stammered out, barely noticing him skating away.

I stared up at the building again. Part of me wanted to brush the whole thing off as stupidity. Just a stupid story someone told to get his friends to go inside and piss themselves over nothing. But the fact that they knew my name. I pushed it out of my mind, remembering that I needed to get home.

"Frank what the hell took you so long?! Ugh I've missed you,"Vicky was waiting for me at the door when I got there. She pulled me into a tight hug,"Miranda is really angry."
"Fuck."
"Fuck is right you idiot,"Miranda was suddenly in front of me, preventing me from going inside properly.

"I'm sorry?"I shrugged my shoulders.
"Ugh,"She broke into a smile and pulled me into a hug. We went inside so I could give Marcie and Deandra a hug, telling them about the wedding. At least I wasn't drunk for the ceremony. They were dying to know about the dress and her hair for some dumb reason. They didn't even know Lindsay. Through it all though, I couldn't get the thought of the abandoned apartment building out of my head.
