My Ghost Best Friend
Hello, my name is Christy. I'm from Texas. I
really don't care if you think my story is untrue. During my freshman
year at high school, I met a new friend named Sergio and he was like 4
or 5 years older than me and he also was a senior. The more we hung out,
the closer we got. He often came by my home and of course he was more
than welcomed there. My entire family completely loved him and I loved
him as big brother. He was always there whenever I needed him. He taught
me everything.
After my school was over, I went out of the city for taking driving
classes in Austin for the whole summer and I hadn't seen him for a while
and I heard he stopped by my home and hung out there with my family a
few times. Until I came back, a few weeks later, he called me that he's
coming by my house. So he came up to me, telling me he has found out her
ex girlfriend has been seeing someone and I sensed he was totally
heartbroken and grieve. After seeing his heartbreaking emotions, I
didn't know what else to say because I've never experienced a serious
relationship before. All I did was to simmer him down. He kept saying he
wants to die now which I wouldn't let him say it because I think it's
the stupidest thing to say and it breaks my heart. A few moments later,
he finally simmered down and embraced me and then
he left.
A few weeks later, I got an online message from my good friend that she
heard the news that this guy was in a car accident named Sergio Alberto
Garica and he was 21 years old and he died at 10am on August 4th. In
meanwhile, I began to have the chills on my body knowing it's actually
him. It's like I couldn't believe that he actually died. So I called my
mom from my bedroom and I told her that my best friend Sergio has passed
away this morning while dropping a lot of tears and she had to embrace
me and we cried together.
The next few days, I had to force myself going to Sergio's funeral home
with our mutual friends and his family. After that, I barely ate a few
meals for the whole week and I didn't want to go anywhere. I kept crying
and crying and crying in my bedroom myself.
That night, I was turning the light on and going to bed. Somehow, I
could feel someone was gently touching my head so I got up quickly
taking a look around and nobody was there. So I started like freaking
out and I decided to call my mom and little brother and as they got
closer to me, I asked them if one of them touched my head when I was
falling asleep and they were like looking at each other, saying no. So I
realized it was Sergio who woke me up. After a while, he never bothered
me ever again.
