    Summary

    Oh, good!” Reggie chirps. “You finally noticed.” He gives them an expectant grin. “So…?”

    Alex and Willie return two blank looks. “So…?” Willie repeats.

    “So…” Reggie speaks slowly, as if they’re the dumb ones. “Will you guys go out with me?”

    Summary

    Willie is in the house he grew up in, in his old bedroom, and Caleb is there, too, casually reclining on his bed like he owns it.

     

    “You don’t belong here,” Willie tells him, because it’s true—Willie doesn’t even belong here anymore, he hasn’t for years—decades, now—and Caleb has even less claim to it; Caleb should stay in a whole separate section of Willie’s life, one that’s nowhere near Willie’s old stuffed shark or the rug his grandma made or the jars of bottle caps collected on his desk.

     

    Willie has a nightmare. Nick keeps him company.

    Summary

    Willie, with a startled yelp, flips backwards, board over helmet, off the curb and lands flat on his back, hard. The sound that leaves his mouth following the tumble is one Nick has unfortunately come to be all too familiar with: the scream of someone in unimaginable pain.

    “W-Willie?” Nick tries, but it’s like the words get stuck somewhere between his stomach and his throat. He tells himself to step forward, get down, make sure Willie’s okay—he could be bleeding, or something could be broken, he’s not a ghost anymore, he could be hurt

    His feet must not listen to his brain, because the next thing he knows, he’s stumbled back a few steps, and then he’s on the ground, curled up on the sidewalk, and Willie’s whimpering, but Nick’s vision is starting to white out at the edges, and then—

    Then he’s trapped in a memory. Trapped, like he was for the eight months before Willie and Julie saved him, in his own mind.

    Summary

    Nick comes back to himself in May.

    His doctors tell him he’s spent the last two weeks in a coma that none of them can determine the cause of.

    His dads tell him he was missing for six days before then, that he left for school one day and never made it to first period, that it took the cops forty-eight hours to care and another ninety-six to find him, unconscious, bleeding, and bloated from near-starvation amid the rubble of an abandoned hotel in downtown L.A.

    Only Willie tells him the truth: that for the better part of a year, Nick’s body didn’t belong to him.

    Summary

    Today has been rough, and it’s not even noon yet. Nick’s been fighting off a migraine since dinner last night. He had a nightmare that he doesn’t even remember, but it set off the shiver-spacey feeling Carlos Molina good-naturedly dubbed his “ghost tinglies” that makes it impossible for Nick to get warm for a good thirty-six hours. He forgot the word for blender at breakfast this morning, and his dads got so worried about him he forgot how to speak at all.

    He just wanted to hide out in his bed under a weighted blanket and try again tomorrow, but routines are good for him, and he couldn’t stand the idea of Britney looking at him all disappointed. So here he is, on the Wilsons’ front porch, desperately hugging one of Willie’s sweatshirts around him and wishing he could still stomach wearing his letterman jacket.

    Carrie opens the door, which makes Nick huff out a little sigh of relief, because he doesn’t think he could handle talking to her dad right now. She looks him up and down, and up again, and says, voice all icy-still like it gets when she’s trying to be casual, “Quiet day?”

    Summary

    There are places Nick can’t go now.

    The Hollywood Ghost Club is an obvious one—or that whole part of town, he should say, since he no longer has the unwanted privilege that possession once afforded him to be able to find the place. Others are harder to explain—the lacrosse field, the alley outside the Orpheum, Carrie Wilson’s balcony.

    (Julie’s house was impossible to even look at, until Willie introduced him to the studio like a feral cat to its bed. Now he’s more comfortable there than in his own home. But he still politely declines when Julie or her dad invites him into the house proper.)

    But of all the places Nick can’t go now, the one that poses the most inconvenience, the one hardest to avoid, the one most likely to send Nick into a dissociative panic and make him forget where he is and who’s in control, is anywhere—everywhere—with a mirror.

    Summary

    Willie doesn’t know what he’s waiting for.

    He doesn’t know what he’s doing here at all, really—it’s not like there’s a shortage of other things he could be doing. He could be hiding. He could be celebrating. He could be tracking down the hundreds of freed souls displaced when the Hollywood Ghost Club went down.

    Instead, Willie is sitting on the windowsill of a hospital room, watching Nick sleep.

    Summary

    With all Nick’s senses dialled to eleven, even the soft click of the door opening sounds sharp. He doesn't dare open his eyes, not after how the light hurt so badly before.

    When someone speaks, he's expecting Willie, or maybe Julie, or maybe even Luke, who seems to feel responsible for Nick the way a small child may feel responsible for a chick they found, one who fell from the nest before it learned to fly.

    Instead –

    "Here," says Alex, of all people, "drink this."

    Summary

    Willie’s smile vanishes. “It’s, um. I—“ They cut themself off with a sharp shake of the head. “Never mind. It’s stupid. Sorry.”

    They turn to leave, but Alex grabs their wrist. “Wait,” he says. “It’s not stupid. What’s wrong?”

    “It’s—“ Willie closes his eyes and lets out a long sigh. “I was wondering if I could hang out with you for a bit? I know you know about the nightmares and usually Nick is here to help me with them but he already left and I don’t know anyone else who’s still here—“

    “Willie,” Alex gently cuts off their rambling. “You can totally hang in here. I don’t mind.”

    Summary

    Kissing was never really a desire for him and Carrie when they dated. It was usually just holding hands or a simple kiss on the cheek. Neither one of them mentioned going farther then that.

    Or

    Nick being confused three times and the figuring it out for himself

    Summary

    Nick knows in his heart, now, that he’s really in control, because Caleb would never use Nick’s body for this. Caleb never touched Willie with kindness. Barely touched him at all, but whenever he did, it was to hurt or control him, one way or the other.

    Nick reclaims his own body, his own limbs, by giving a kind of comfort that Caleb would hate.

    --

    Or, Nick and Willie help each other out, in their own ways.

    Summary

    Nick smiled, getting to his feet where he was promptly pulled down onto Willie’s lap, the skaters strong arms wrapping around his middle.

    “You okay?” He asked.

    Nick relaxed back against his chest, nodding.

    or

    Nick and Willie's friendship, created through the shared trauma caused by Caleb Covington.

    Summary

    “I was anxious and then I got possessed, and it didn’t get any better.” Nick smiled at Alex who was sitting across from him at the table, his headphones in his ears to make it seem like he was speaking on the phone instead of the empty space in front of him.

    or

    After being possessed by Caleb, Nick learns that possession leaves a mark.
