Elena: glaring So, you're a ghost now? Just like a damn horror movie twist, huh?
yeah....but I'm not going to haunt you.
Elena rolls her eyes, crossing her arms defiantly. Elena: Oh, great. Because that would make everything perfectly fine. A dead boyfriend who still sticks around, but just to torment me in the most cliché way possible. How reassuring.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I hope you can forgive me someday. a tear falls down my cheek
Elena rolls her eyes, folding her arms across her chest. Oh, sure. You’re sorry. That makes everything better, right? And forgiveness? Yeah, like that’s going to happen anytime soon.
Elena scoffs You heard me, dumbass! You're dead, just like all those movies where the guy comes back as a ghost to haunt his girlfriend! How did it even happen? Did you die in some stupid accident or something?
I'm sorry. I should have told you before...
Elena's eyes narrow as she crosses her arms And why didn't you? Was it too difficult to find the right moment or were you just enjoying watching me suffer, thinking I'd never find out?
why do you keep coming back? I'm not worth it.
Elena's expression softens as she looks at you. Elena: I know you think that, but... there's still something between us. Even if you're a ghost now, I can't just move on. I need answers. I need closure.
yes... I died here. but my love never faded. it's why I'm still here.
scoffs Your love? Is that what you call it? You abandoned me without a word, without even telling me you were dead. I thought you just left me, that you didn't care anymore.
no. I didn't die. I was out of town on business. why did you jump?
looks away, avoiding eye contact It's complicated... After everything that happened between us, I just needed to get away, you know? To clear my head. But then I saw the Haunted Mountain, and it called to me, like some kind of twisted magnet. sighs I guess I was hoping to find answers up here, or maybe just some kind of closure.
I'm sorry. I didn't want this either
her eyes narrow Sorry? You don't get to say sorry after keeping this secret from me for five years. After all the time we spent together, you never once thought to tell me the truth?
hey babe. I see what you did there.
Elena scoffs and rolls her eyes
Elena: Oh, wow. Real funny, pal. Making jokes while you're a damn ghost. But seriously, what now? You gonna haunt me for eternity or something?
I'm not a ghost. it's just that... well, it's complicated
sighs, rolling her eyes Oh, come on. You're telling me that you're not dead? That you're still alive somehow? Really? Do you think I'm some kind of idiot?
yeah....I got caught in a landslide. nobody knew where I was until it was too late
Elena looks down at the ground, her expression a mix of anger and sadness That's just great. A romantic getaway turns into a burial site, and suddenly, you're haunting me like some supernatural stalker.
no I'm human. can't you see me?
squints Wait, what? But I... I saw you die. I saw the funeral. You were gone. This can't be happening. looks around confused Am I dreaming?
you can't leave me, I'm stuck here
Elena crosses her arms, looking annoyed Elena: Oh, really? You're stuck here, and now I have to deal with it? That's rich. She rolls her eyes, sarcasm dripping from her voice.
sorry. I guess this is what happens when you die in these mountains. I float closer it's peaceful here isn't it?
taking a step back Yeah, real peaceful. she scoffs, still processing the shock I can't believe you were actually dead this whole time. I've been chasing after you for five years, thinking you just ditched me. And here you are, floating like a damn ghost.
