All my friends gathered around to have a meeting.
A quiet meeting not about a specific anything. But everyone I knew was there: Stockton, Maxis, Lovi, Iddy, Arthur...
And me, Jacky, who came along as told by Stockton. He beckoned me, sweetly, and we talked about things with each other through the walk to the meeting. I told him about my psychiatric dreams I've been imagining lately, about an ancient ghost that floats the world we live in. I don't want to let it bother me but I'm starting to get afraid about my dreams.
He shrugs and opens to door before me to the meeting room. Without question I shuffled inside the room; it's entirely wood and peaceful for the up-coming winter storms.
"Do you know what this meeting is about?" I ask Stockton, leaning forward and bending down into a seat. As he does the same, letting out a low sigh, the reason rolls into the back of my head and makes my eyes sting. I remembered the rest can't stand me, for everything I do.

One by one, the rest come through the door, stripping their jackets and setting them on a near-by table.
When Maxis strolls in, I can feel my stomach drop to my lap and my throat prepare a scream for me that I struggle to keep hidden. I can see in his eyes that he might do the same. All Maxis does is nod and choke on my name with a frown.
Lovi is the last to enter, his voice instantly explodes in our ears as everything else was too quiet we felt deaf.
"I'm sure we all know why we're here," Lovi watches everyone but me nod confidently; I can only shake my head and feel my eyes bleed the words 'I don't want to be here'. But I have to, I can't leave.

"It's about you, Jacky. Don't worry though, this will be short," Lovi confirms, no emotion in those words. "No one likes you," Maxis throws in my face, right up front without thought.
"I realized," I say in a tone of anxiety. I looked at Stockton through my fingers for return of back up I gave for him in the Summer, I want to believe he's the only one left to keep me alive, but I'm wrong when he stays silent.
Lovi shoots Maxis an irritated look and talks to me again, "I'm just going to say that you're not allowed in the county anymore, so you should pack up your things and go."
Immediately, I stand up and throw my seat behind me at the wall and release the scream that has been building under my tongue for months, "Who says? Who gets to say who can and who can't be in this county?" I kick the chair I dropped and slammed my fist into the wall, making a dent.
"I did! now calm down!" Lovi stands up, too, and grabs my fists before I could harm anyone around me. The tears begin to fall on my feet as I try to gain control of my breath. "I am allowed here," I whisper to Lovi, calmly, prying my wrist from his grasp. "You're not allowed to put me in a different place." I lift my knife from my belt and carve a deep X in the wooden wall. "I marked myself here, try to take that away."
The entire room makes no sound. Not a cough or a creek. Only Silent permeates the sound.

"And I will stay here for centuries to come." Similar to the wall, I slowly cut another X into my neck and watch my life rise out of my bloodied body, drowning in a puddle of red. I will haunt them all, forever an ever. Anyone can move my body, but no one can move my soul.
Lately, I've been having reoccurring dreams and I decided to turn them into stories. I cried when I woke up from the first one and I'm crying now after writing this. Please favorite for more, I'm willing to cry over writing this for your entertainment.
