Hey guys, I hope you enjoy the story, on with chapter 1

I had never seen so much water. So vast and so… blue! The sea in England was always a dull grayish color, but not this, this sea was BLUE! From the looks of it, that must be New York City, it’s amazing, especially now at night, all the buildings lit up. I stayed admiring the City until the plane began to swoop down gracefully, or as gracefully as a plane could, on the runway. As soon as it was stationary people began shoving and rushing about, pulling bags from the overhead shelves. I decided it would be wise to wait for a few minutes until most people had gotten off the plane so I could move without a stampede of people pushing through. As I got off the plane myself I began to worry, there were so many people in the airport, how the hell am I meant to find my mother and Ethan, her new boyfriend. When she got divorced from dad she took me on holiday to New York, where she met, and fell in love with, Ethan. Then Ethan asked us to move in with him and his children, Summer and Bailey. Mum went over two weeks ago whilst I was at dad’s new place in London. Then she decided to move in with Ethan so here I am. My thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a hand clenching my shoulder, I jumped and spun around ready to defend myself, I jabbed the person in the gut before realizing it was Ethan,

“Hello, to you too, Mercedes” he choked out,

“Oh jeez, sorry Ethan, I thought you were some freaky kidnapper” I lowered my voice to a mumble realizing how stupid that sounded. He laughed it off, I like Ethan, he’s really nice and if he makes my mum happy, I guess he’s OK.

“Want to go get pizza before heading off to your new home?” he asked me,

“Can we go another day, I’m pretty exhausted” I laughed, yawning,

“No problem, let me take that bag, it looks pretty heavy” I smiled and dragged the suitcase over to him, taking my rucksack and smaller suitcase, my mum took my handbag and we made our way to the car park.

I must have fallen asleep in the car, I don’t remember much of the journey but when I woke up Ethan was parking the Land Rover. I had never seen the house before but it looked very different from what I had imagined, it looked like one of those big Spanish villas. It was massive, white and clean. My favorite part so far was the swimming pool, it reminded me of the sea we had flown over, so big and blue. Ethan carried my suitcases inside and showed me to my room. It was amazing, modern and sophisticated. The color scheme was black, white and hot pink. It had a tidy, square, double bed, a low, square bedside table and matching chest of draws, also there was a window the size of the whole wall, looking out onto the patio and swimming pool. So much better than my tiny, cluttered bedroom before. Everything matched and fitted in. I heard Ethan calling my name,

“yes?” I asked, walking down the stairs,

“Do you want me to help with your bags?” He asked,

“No thanks, It’s cool” I grinned putting the rucksack on and dragging my suitcases behind me. I dumped the bags next to my door, and flopped onto my bed, I was just about to get my phone from my bag when I saw something by my window out of the corner of my eye, as I turned to see what it was, I jumped as I saw someone sitting there, looking out the window,

“Bailey?” I thought at first but the boy sitting there had black hair, not light brown, he turned, and grinned at me,

“Get out, who the hell are you? I’ll phone the police” I dived towards my bag and flipped open my phone,

“Why don’t you get out, I should be the one asking who the hell you are and what you are doing it my room, well I would ask that if I didn’t already know” he rolled his eyes in a patronizing way,

“What do you mean your room?” Damn had I gone into the wrong room? I have just made a total idiot of myself in front of some stranger,

“This used to be my room” he sighed,

“Oh, well… I am here now, you can’t just come in here anymore, it’s my room” I warned,

“No-one will stop my babe” he laughed, he was really being to get on my nerves,

“Ethan will”

“Babe, Ethan can’t see me” he shrugged,

“What the hell? Of course he can see you, and stop calling me babe”

“Nope, he can’t. It’s a surprise that you can see me babe” he said, ignoring my demand,

“I said stop it, why is it a surprise that I can see you?” I asked,

“Do you need to repeat everything? It’s a surprise because I’m dead” he laughed,

“Excuse me? Dead, yeah right, I’m not that gullible” I glared at him,

“Didn’t think you’d believe that, no you’re not gullible, but you are hot” he smiled,

“Creep! Of course I don’t believe it, it’s a shitty excuse for me not to call the police” I yelled,

“Who are you talking to honey?” my mum walked in, looking suspicious,

“Him!” I yelled, pointing towards the boy,

“Mercedes, there is no-one there. Stop mucking around” I turned to look at the boy, he raised his eyebrows and grinned,

“Told you so” he mouthed,

“No, I meant him, on the phone, it’s on speaker” I pointed to my phone on my bed, she simply shook her head and walked off,

“Nice cover-up babe” he smiled,

“So, you’re really a… a” I couldn’t bring myself to say it,

“GHOST” He shouted, laughing more, “and my name is Gerard by the way, Gerard Way in fact, you?” he asked,

“Mercedes, Mercedes Ryans” I smiled, was it weird to think he was hot? He seriously is hot, and if he was alive I wouldn’t mind, wait stop, he is a dead teenaged boy in MY ROOM!

“Well you can’t stay here” I whined,

“I’ve got no where else to go” he leaned back against the window, “so you’re stuck with me babe” he grinned. This was going to be interesting…
