CHAPTER SIXTEEN

"Your grandmother's really cool," Peyton told Lily as they sat on her bed.

"Yeah, she is," Lily agreed, crossing her legs. "She even lets me do my room--it used to be hers when she was a girl--any way I want to while I'm here."

Peyton glanced about the bedroom. She found herself imagining Caitlyn being in there many years ago. Peyton was still trying to come to grips with what Lily's grandmother had told her. It seemed to fit right in with what was happening to her. Only Peyton still hadn't figured out how to put a stop to it.

Lily seemed to sense that she was preoccupied. "So did you tell Nana about the girl ghost?"

"Yeah, we talked about it, and more," Peyton said.

Lily grinned. "See, I told you Nana could relate to the spirit world in ways beyond most of us mere teenaged mortals."

"She does understand a lot more than I thought possible."

"Like what?"

Peyton revealed that her grandmother not only believed ghosts exist, but that she knew this ghost personally. At least when Caitlyn was alive.

Lily's eyes widened. "You're kidding--Nana and your ghost girl were best friends?"

"Yup, amazing as it sounds." Peyton showed her the photo. "It's Caitlyn and your grandmother, when she was fifteen."

Lily studied it with fascination. "Wow. Nana's so...young...and Caitlyn looks...well, so normal--"

Peyton chuckled. "She was back then."

"So what happened to her?"

Peyton frowned. "According to your grandmother, Caitlyn was murdered by her father." And I witnessed it, sort of, in my dreams more than once.

Lily sighed. "That is just too eerie."

"Yeah, I know."

"Does Nana think you need to have the house exorcised or something to make the ghosts go away?"

"Not quite. She thinks Caitlyn just wants a friend...and I happened to come along. Your grandmother believes that once she has her fill of me, Caitlyn will drift off into the sunset. But I'm not so sure."

Lily wrinkled her nose. "Me neither. Why would ghosts need friends? I mean, it's not like they should be lonely with millions of other dead people turned into spirits to hang with."

"True," Peyton agreed.

Maybe it was different for people who died under circumstances that didn't allow them the chance to easily move to the other side. Like being murdered.

They went outside and stood under a tall, thick tree that was blocking the sun.

"Bry's friend, Kirk, wants to meet you," Peyton told Lily in a welcome change of subject.

"Really?" Lily's face lit up. "When?"

"That will be up to you guys to decide. He wants your number."

"Then give it to him," Lily uttered anxiously.

"Okay." Peyton already had her number and would text it to Bryant, once she found out where Vance had put her cell phone.

"Can't way till Kirk calls," Lily said. "Do you know what he looks like?"

Peyton flipped her hair back. "Sorry, we've never met. But I'm sure Bry wouldn't set you up with someone who was a total loser."

"Well that's a big relief!" Lily chuckled. "If we hit it off, maybe the four of us could hang out together?"

"Why not?" Peyton agreed.
