InBetween 2 - Supernatural Story Series - Chapter 3
C H A P T E R | 3
I looked out into the lifeless room. I stood there for a moment. My throat tightened. “Thomas?” I whispered. The house remained silent. The wind crept into the open door behind me, blowing leaves across the floor. I fell deep into my sorrows and loneliness, and just stood there, letting the tears fall. I couldn’t believe he was gone again.
“Hi there,” said a voice behind me. I turned around swiftly. A young man stood in the doorway. His blonde hair swayed in the wind.
I turned away quickly and wiped my tears away with my sleeve. I took a deep breath and turned around to look at him. The young man smiled at me.
“Are you ok?” He asked warmly. His cool blue eyes looked at me with caring.
I burst into tears. I hated him for asking that question - I was trying so hard to hold it together, but I could tell his concern was genuine.
“I’m sorry, um… would you like me to leave?” He asked.
“No.” I choked out. “Your fine.” I wiped the tears from my eyes once more and looked at him. He was about my age.
“I’m James. I was out delivering papers but noticed you were upset and wanted to see if I could help.”
I looked at him confused. Our paper was always delivered early in the morning. “It is almost 1:00. Why are you delivering papers this late?”
James looked at me shyly. “I was running a little late. Just don’t tell my boss, ok?” He smiled.
I laughed and welcomed him in. He seemed very caring and so nice, and I really needed someone to talk to. Nadine was on vacation, and she was the only one in my life that knew about Thomas. So, a perfect stranger seemed like the best person to talk to – if they didn’t believe me, or if they thought I was crazy, I wouldn’t care.
“Do you really want to know what’s wrong?” I asked.
“Yes,” he said calmly. He looked over at the dining room and gestured for me to join him at the table.
James sat across from me in Thomas’s old seat. I prepared myself for telling him the story of Thomas. I looked at him, took in a deep breath, and began.

Thanks for reading! :) Follow me to never miss a chapter :)
Its time to ask. Will this ever become a self published book for sale? Where I could buy a copy and get it authored signed?
I'm interested.
Yes - I am actually in the process of formatting parts 1 & 2 together into one book that I will self publish. I still need to design the cover (or have it designed), have the book edited, and then go through the process of making it into a book.
I will let you know when it is available :)
I love fiction stories and i think you made an excellent job writing this story. Regards
Wooohhhh... "I" is going to tell everything to an unknown person.... Little strange...James might have some powers.
Oh, yes, an excellent chapter and we need to look at the previous ones, I'm waiting for a follow-up on the history of Thomas. Thank you @artist1989
