49 Crying ghos (1/2)
Half an hour later Annie and Sam were sitting in his car heading downtown. Annie had came back from her room dressed beautifully so Sam felt like his outfit wasn't appropriate for a date
'Should I leave the photos for another time ?'
”Hey Annie, let's go back home for a minute. This outfit isn't suitable for a date.”
”I don't mind, you look handsome in anything.”
”Let's go anyway.”
Very soon they arrived at Sam's apartment, he opened the door and guided Annie to the living room, she kept looking around and analyzing the place before she looked at him and said
”This is your apartment ? It's too small, come and live with us, you already know we have a lot of free rooms.”
”Don't worry about me, I'm comfortable here. I lived in this small place with my parents, I can't leave it.”
”But...”
She looked at him pitifully, he started doing money only recently so he didn't have time to buy much things for his apartment, the TV in front of the couch was at least 7 or 8 years old, the couch looked even older.
”Don't worry about small things, we've lived here for a really long time with Em so we love this place, when I'll make enough money I'll buy the building and renovate it.”
”How fast do you expect to make that money ? Even if you become popular now you still need a long time to be a worldwide class singer... come and live with us until then.”
”Sorry Annie, I really don't feel like leaving this place yet.”
He said while sitting next to her, she looked at him for awhile and sighed, after awhile she smiled
”I get it, let's not lose time. Go dress up and let us go on our date.”
She said while pushing him away from the couch.
In his room he opened his closet and browsed through it, he just picked a casual but classy outfit, a white shirt with black pants and white adidas shoes.
He arranged his hair and headed to the living room where Annie had turned on the TV.
”Let's go ?”
She turned around to look at him, analyzed his style and nodded.
”I definitely like this more, let's go.”

That evening they went to watch a movie, ate delicious food and took a walk in a beautiful park under the moonlight and the countless stars that couldn't be seen clearly because of the light pollution, sometime during their walk in the dark park they saw a silhouette sitting on a bench not far from them, they could hear sobbing sound from where they were.
Annie grabbed Sam's arm and whispered
”It can't be a ghost right ? Some people say that a ghost will appear here at midnight during the full moon and kill the couples... ”
”Who told you this ?”
”I've just invented it, I thought you'd be scared hahah.”
”Am I a kid for you ? Who believe in ghosts in this age...”
When he said that the wailing became stronger for a second, both of them were startled and tried to hide behind one another.
”Who believe in ghosts huh ? Hahah”
She looked at him smugly, she was also scared by the sudden burst but she hadn't been boasting like him a second ago.
”Hmm.. anyway let's see if that person is alright.”
He cleared his throat and tried to avoid the subject, indeed he was still a bit scared of ghosts...
They walked a few steps and arrived in front of the crying person, the first one to talk was Annie
”Excuse me, is everything alright ?”
Crying alone at night in a dark park wasn't a really good idea, especially since she was a girl, they could guess it from her voice but they had confirmed it after seeing her up close, they couldn't see what she looked like yet as she was looking down and her palms were holding her face but Sam had a feeling of familiarity with that silhouette.
”I'm alright you can go.”
She said with a trembling voice, hearing it Sam finally understood why he had that feeling.
