The Dead Boyfriend

It was Friday night and Eileen was having a really good time at her college party.   Around half past 11 she left and tried to contact her roommate Lisa to pick her up but Lisa wasn’t responding. Hello uh finally, I’ve tried to call you like 20 times. (Lisa) Have you seen the time? It’s really late you said you will be free by nine, I was waiting for your call for ages and then I fell asleep. (Eileen) sorry, I could not keep track of the time, can you pick me up? (Lisa) It’s nearly midnight Eileen no way I can drive this late half asleep there’s an 12 o’clock bus that goes to Norman street you might still be able to catch it if you hurry to the bus stop I got to sleep. I have to wake up early for work tomorrow bye. (Eileen) Oh dam!!! When Lisa refused to pick up her Eileen annoyingly started walking toward the bus stop. She was feeling a little unsafe walking alone this late.

 Since, she had heard about quite a few incidents happen at night in this area. It didn’t take her long to reach the bus stop as she was walking quite fast she quickly reached for the bus timetable and felt a relief. When she saw 12 o’clock bus listed for Norman Street there was still two minutes left midnight. Eileen realized that there was no anyone else at the bus stop waiting for the bus apart from her. All of sudden, a haunted voice came over and it was her dead boyfriend. Without wasting any time she quickly got on the bus and felt relief. When the bus moved off she looked outside to see if the man was still there but he was gone. Eileen felt safe in the bus among other passengers and closed her eyes to rest for some time until her stop came. Eileen got out of the bus and started walking towards her apartment. Her apartment was nearly 10 minutes’ walk away from the stop. As she was walking towards her building, she constantly felt like someone was following her. She was too afraid to look behind. Finally, she reached her apartment.

And get in the lift and then her dead boyfriend appeared there suddenly and Eileen got unconscious. (Lisa)  Are you okay?  You passed out in the lift are you feeling okay?(Eileen) I saw him.(Lisa) Who? (Eileen) William. (Lisa)Are you serious? William is dead. (Eileen) Then why does he keep following me?

5 Months ago: - William was a quite nature simple guy who was madly in love with Eileen. However, Eileen always took her boyfriend for granted. She was selfish, mean and enjoyed treating William like a punching bag. But William always looked past her rude behavior and let things go due to his kind nature. One night Eileen borrowed her friend’s car and decided to go a hill station with William. William had an important collage assignment to submit the next day but he still agreed to go because Eileen wouldn’t take no for an answer. He knew that she would spend a week arguing with him if he didn’t do as she pleases. It was cold and horror stormy that night. The hill station was almost three hours away and they were nearly halfway through the journey. Despite, the road to the hill station being quite rough. Eileen was driving carelessly. This was really worrying William. Babe, could you please drive a bit slow?  The weather doesn’t look too good. (Eileen) Why are you being such a loser? Don’t teach me how to drive? I know what I’m doing. (William) You drive kind of rough. It’s worrying me please slow down a bit. (Eileen) Oh god stops telling me what to do? (William) All I’m asking you is to drive a little carefully.

while during going to Hill Station

What if the car breaks down or in the middle of nowhere? I told you I have my final year assessment tomorrow and I have to be home early tonight. (Eileen)That’s it all you care about is your stupid assignment, you’re so selfish. You completely ruined my mood. (William) Babe, why are you so upset? (Eileen)I don’t think I even want to go to the Hill Station with you anymore just get out of the car right now. (William) Wait whoa look I’m sorry. You’re right I was acting really stupid. I promised you will not hear a word from me. (Eileen) I told you just get out from the car. (William) Silently, get off from the car. (Eileen) At least now I won’t have to hear you complaining. (William) Please babe let me in its freezing out here. Am I supposed to get home? (Eileen) Not my problem. After speaking that Eileen drove her car with crushing William’s Foot. (William) Somebody help me I’m going to die here somebody please help me somebody help me somebody please help me. After moving from there she looked up his phone Oh god he left his phone in the car what a loser I have to go back. After reaching there she saw wild animals were eating him and she can’t able to help him. William’s dead body was never found and Eileen didn’t tell anyone this haunted truth. (Eileen) He’s watching me. (Lisa) William is dead, I work tomorrow try to get some sleep. Please don’t leave me alone.

The guilt of William’s death didn’t let Eileen rest in peace and she eventually ended up in a mental asylum.
