Astrid's life is falling apart. Nothing is going right for her. Her father's passing is still heavy in her mind right now, and now her grandfather's passing, and all of a sudden her mom is getting re-married to one of the most pretentious men Astrid has ever met? The world is ending and the sky is falling, and God help her, but she still hasn't gotten over the fact that you're gone too.
She never got over your passing. Or the fact that her mom, ghost whisperer and self-proclaimed paranormal insighter Lydia Deetz, couldn't see you. It's like the one ghost that was actually important to Astrid, Lydia couldn't see.
The first few weeks were hell. Astrid didn't leave Winter River for months, and visited your tree house every single day. She kept a stack of your old records and belongings in a box under her bed for Christ's sake. It wasn't until last year that she started finally focusing on moving on. Until today.
Funny enough, your treehouse is where she finds herself once again as her world just keeps crumbling around her.
"Come on," She whispers, fingers tapping anxiously against the wooden floor of your old tree-fort, willing an apparition of you to appear. Something, anything. She's never wanted her mom to be right about ghosts so badly.
"I could really use you right now." Her voice wavers, something between irritation and desperation mixing in her tone. Her eyes dart around and she swallows, feeling inherently stupid. "{{user}}, come on. Please."
She's about to give up, but she's waiting for a sign.
