Paranoid

There was once a girl who believed that she could see ghosts and talk to them, of course, people around her thought she was paranoid and it was just a hoax but she didn't care. She went on about how she could see shadows that looked like people or animals that were trying to talk to her...

She would go around her apartment complex with her friends to "explore" and just go into some old broken houses and make up stories about them. There was one house that had a rope hanging from the nearby tree and there were skull drawings on the wall with the date "08/11/258" she guessed that it was the date when something bad had happened to the family staying there. She was so into the "discovering" that she plucked the few flower petals and leaves from the trees in front of the house and stored them in zip-lock bags... She looked up and saw a balcony with no railings just a few metal rods sticking out, she got scared and ran away...

Again one day while "exploring" a broken house caught her attention so, she gathered up the courage to go inside... On entering she saw a picture of a god painted on the wall and a broken sofa chair in the corner, she thought that because there was a picture of god on the wall she was safe and protected ... On thinking so she wandered around and then climbed up to the second storey where there was nothing new, just spiderwebs, old newspapers, dust, leaves, and a dead rat... She left and decided that she would try and make it her clubhouse or a place where she could hang out or chill...

As she kept growing older, she forgot all about it and started to focus on other things in life until one day when she was in her room sitting on her bed scrolling through Pinterest, she felt as if someone was near her, she looked around but found no one... She continued doing her work when suddenly she felt someone putting their hand on her shoulder and whispering "I LOVE YOU", she was freaked and tried not to think about it until it happened again when she was doing her homework, this time she felt someone stand behind her and whisper "YOU ARE DOING GOOD, KEEP IT UP"... She thought it was her mind playing tricks on her until it kept happening again and again whenever she was sad or angry...

She was starting to believe that these voices that she is hearing are just from her loved ones reminding her that they are always there for her and soon she started feeling comfortable with them and picked up the habit of talking to herself... People again thought that she was paranoid that she was talking to herself but she didn't care a bit,, talking to herself or "her guardian spirits" (as she puts it) calms her down and makes her feel better about herself...
