Blake’s stomach was growling. Her mouth kept letting out curse words as she snarled at the police officers who walked by her cell.

“I should just stay in Alberta. I shouldn’t have listened to that ghost. I should’ve just stayed.” She mumbled to herself, ignoring officers’ stare.

“Blake!”

She jumped and brought herself against the wall when a voice suddenly appeared within the cell. It was Jimmy, in front of her and now was coming towards her, with his hands opened wide.
“Blake!! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry I left!” he hugged her tightly but she struggled to get away.

“Get off me! Get off! Don’t fucking touch me!” she screamed and pushed Jimmy’s body away with angry tears running down her cheeks.

Jimmy was taken aback by her furious tone but then soon he realized that they both were inside a room with only metal bars separating them from the outside world.

“Wow, I just left you not long ago and you got yourself arrested? Nice!”

Blake glared at him. Still angry.

“Are you – angry at me?”

“You have no idea.”

“I’m sorry Blake, I don’t know where I went. I slipped away.”

“You what?”

“I was in a graveyard, and I saw my girlfriend with her daughter. It was the most amazing thing, Blake. I saw her. I wanted see her ever since we got here. But then -”

“You left me to see your girlfriend?” Blake was fuming with anger so much she couldn’t stand straight. Her heart dropped hearing Jimmy had a girlfriend and he looked like he still had feelings for her. What was she thinking? She was only a helper, a messenger. Jimmy would never develop feelings towards her even though they shared a kiss yesterday. She was angry but at the same time she felt flutter in her stomach remembering that kiss. Blake sat down on the cement bench inside the cell, burying her face inside her hands.

“It was out of my control, Blake. I’m sorry.”

She tried to calm herself down by coming back to earth, realizing that she wasn’t anybody.

“I wanna go home.”

“Okay. We’ll go back to my place after we get you out of this -”

“I wanna go home to Alberta.”

Jimmy stunned, staring at her. No, they can’t go back yet. Not right now. Not after he saw Leana and Zoey. He wanted Blake to send his messages to them too. He wanted Lea to know that he didn’t approve of Alex being her new boyfriend.

“Blake, no. Please. Not yet. I haven’t finished saying my goodbyes yet.”

“I gave you a chance yesterday and look what you did to me!” she raised her arm and shoved her wrist in front of Jimmy’s face. Jimmy raised his eyebrows as he read the cursive tattoo; Forever.

“Nice tats.” He smirked but it instantly died off when he caught Blake’s furious glare. “Uh, I’m sorry. I was drunk and got carried away.”

Blake groaned and stood up. She couldn’t believe herself. How the hell did I get stuck with this ungrateful ghost?

“Blake.” Jimmy approached her and immediately hugged her from behind. His arms locked around her tight that no matter how she struggled, she can’t get away.

“Please. I promise I’ll never leave you again.”

Blake panted, catching her breath from her tiring-but-no-use struggling action and sighed heavily.

“You said that yesterday too.”

“I didn’t know that I could slip away again. This time I’m sure I won’t be.” Truth was, he wasn’t exactly too sure.

As they relay in silence with Blake stopped squirming inside his embrace, Jimmy turned her body around. He recalled of how beautiful she looked in just her underwear. He would give anything to have that view again.

“Please Blake?” he begged again. Right then Blake found out that she was a sucker for Jimmy’s puppy dog eyes so she slowly nodded.

Jimmy grinned widely, his mouth opened in happiness as he pulled her into yet another tight hug. Their bodies clenched and Jimmy could feel his stomach flutter and his heart beating so fast although he was already dead. He wondered mindlessly how could have that happened.

“I’m so going to regret this.” Blake mumbled into chest.

“Thank you Blake! Thank you. You’re the best. I love you so much!”

She froze inside his hug. Did he just say that? Casually? Did he really mean it? Refusing to brush that thought off her mind, she hugged him back.

“You sure like to hug me huh, Jimmy.”

“I can’t help it, you’re so warm. Besides, don’t be so shy. I already saw you naked.”

Blake’s eyes snapped open and bulged. “WHAT?” she yelled as she pulled away from the hug hastily.

“Ehm ehm.” A sound of someone clearing his throat suddenly appeared from outside of the cell. Both Jimmy and Blake glanced at it. It was a police officer, with hand on his hips and he shook his head, sighing.

“I swear to God, you druggies are crazier than you look.” He commented while turning his keys into the keylock. Blake stared at him, puzzled.

“You have one phone call to make.”

Blake stood silently in front of the payphone, with her hands still cuffed - not knowing who to call. Her parents were all the way in Canada and they didn’t even know that she was here.

“Who’re you gonna call, druggie?”

Blake glared at the rude police officer – he was round shaped with mustache above his lips – just a typical American cop.

“Watch your fucking mouth fat fuck!” Jimmy yelled at him but of course he ignored him.

“I – don’t know.” Blake answered.

“Shit, you really don’t have anyone to call?” the police asked rudely again.

Blake turned to Jimmy who was standing between her and the officer.

“Call Brian.” He said, and continued to say aloud his number.

“Five,” Blake began. The officer raised his eyebrows at her. After she paused for quite a while, he dialed the number for her.

“Eight,”

He dialed, again and again, according to the numbers she told him. In his mind he wondered aimlessly if that number really belonged to anyone, at all. After he was done dialing the number, he passed the phone o her. She took it, her fingers trembled.

The dial tone was ringing but nobody picked it up.

Hey, you’ve reached Brian Pickled Liver –

“Hello?”
Blake gasped. The voice on the other side sounded clearly in her ears.
“He- Hello. Brian?”
“Yeah. Who’s this?”
Blake looked at Jimmy who eagerly waited beside the payphone.
“It’s me, Jimmy.” Blake replied. Jimmy’s eyes sprang open when he heard her introduced herself as him.
“Jim! Where are you? I mean, Blake. Fuck. Where are you guys?”
“At a – police station.”
“What? How the fuck did you get there?”
“I – broke into my own house.”
She heard Brian sighed. “I’m on my way. You’re still in town right?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay. I’ll rang Zacky. He’s so bummed you’re gone off this morning.”
“Sure – dude. Whatever. Just, save me.”
Brian paused for a bit. “Glad you’re still here with us, Jimmy.”
“Me too, Brian.”

After a few while of pause, they finally hung up. Or forced to, because she only had one minute to use the payphone and the next thing she knew, the line was dead and she was back in her cell again. Jimmy followed her without saying anything. His mind rambled on about her lie earlier.

“Why did you do that?”

“Do what?”

“Pretending to be me.”

She glared at him. Angry was halfway to put it of how she felt towards him right now, but the other half of her just wanted to give up.

“So that you won’t possess me anymore.”

Jimmy blinked at her in disbelief. “Seriously, Blake? Are you angry at me or something?”

She didn’t answer, only putting her arms across her chest. Jimmy closed his eyes and chuckled. His grin turned dark as he gazed at her right after he opened his eyelids.

“Two can play at this game, Blake.”
“What do you mean?”
“You think you can pretend to be me? I’d like to see you try.”
“They believed me already.”
“But you don’t know me.”
“I can just Google you.”
“Damn it, Blake. Why are you so angry at me? Please fucking enlighten me!”

All of a sudden her face flushed in red. Her freckles became so visible that Jimmy found it adorable.

“Blake you’re fucking killing me-”

“It’s because you saw me naked you bastard!”

Jimmy raised his eyebrows yet once again. He couldn’t believe what he heard. His eyes gazing up and down her body as if he had found a rare species of creature who still minds about a guy seeing her naked.

“Don’t tell me – are you a virgin Blake?”

Her face was now as red as her burgundy hair.

****************************************************************************************************

Zacky arrived at Brian’s mansion as quick as a lightning speed, since he lived not really far from each other. He went in by himself, seeing that the front door was wide open. The first person he saw was Michelle, who was biting her own fingernail anxiously.

“Hey, Mich.”

Michelle turned to him and smiled. “Oh thank God you’re here.”

They hugged briefly before Michelle started to rant something about house breaking in or something. Zacky couldn’t understand clearly but then he saw Brian suddenly appeared from upstairs, fully dressed.

“Let’s go.”
“Where to?”
“Police station.”
“What? Why the hell are we going there?”
“Blake’s been arrested. Jimmy’s fault. Well, technically my fault because I’ve held on to his spare key for a while now.
“His spare key? You mean she broke into Jimmy’s house?”
“Yep.”

Zacky shook his head, hands on his hips. He chuckled slightly, feeling the humor drenched all over this fact.

“That prick. Even after he is dead, he’s still managed to get himself arrested.”

Brian inhaled deeply when Zacky mention the word ‘dead’. He still couldn’t wash the thought of finding Jimmy’s stiff and cold body on the bed. It was the most horrified experience ever for him.

“Let’s go. Blake needs us.”

He startled a bit when Zacky already at the front door waiting for him. He raised his palm, asking him to wait, then went to Michelle first.

“Baby, I gotta save her. She might need a place to stay. Will it be okay if she lives here with us?”

Michelle wrapped her arms around him and gazed at him softly.

“Of course. I needed a company anyway when you’re off touring.”

Brian smiled and reached for her lips. They kissed briefly, and then he parted, only by an inch to allow his lips to brush on hers lightly.

“Maybe we should think about having kids now.”

Michelle grinned on his lips. “Maybe we should.”

“Yo Hane-Dog, there are people out there who needs to be bailed. You can go all mushy and corny later okay? Jimmy needs us.”

Brian glanced at Zacky once, and then kissed Michelle again before he went out of the door.
