"Elian stop!" She ran after him. She grabbed his shoulder.

"Leave me alone, I'm crazy," He said, keeping his steps quick. Even when she grabbed his shoulder, he walked.
"No you're not." She said. "Please just stop for a second."
Elian didn't, he kept walking until he came upon the cemetery and walked inside.
Natalia hesitantly followed. The graveyard wasn't a great place for somewhere like her.
Elian started looking and looking and looking for his parents graves even though somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew where they were.
Natalia stayed at the entrance of the cemetery. She knew that taking a step forward would mean she would be bombarded with spirits demanding to be risen.
At some point later, he found them. He sat between their graves and started talking to them. "I know you said you never wanted to see me," he said.
Natalia took a deep breath and took a step in, and walked fast to through the graves. Her head was crowded with screams and cries, almost causing her to fall over, but she pushed through it until she reached him. Once standing behind him, she gasped. Standing behind the graves was his parents, smiling down at him. Only she could see them. "Elian," She whispered. "They're here."
"What?" Elian asked, standing up quickly and looking around. "Where?" He asked quickly.
She shook her head. "You can't see them because they're dead." She told him.
"I want to see them," Elian said. "I want to know why they did it," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "Is it because I'm crazy? Is that why they left me?" He asked.
"Do you want me to ask them?" She asked him softly.
Elian nodded and looked around him in hopes of seeing them.
(( could you be them? or like the mom or something? lol))She nodded and faced them, taking a deep breath. "He wants to know why you left him." She asked.
Kim, his mom, tilted her head to the side."We couldn't take seeing him destroy himself... or his mind, for that matter. He's my only child and we didn't know how to help him. We hoped doing what we had done would make him realize that drugs and sleeping around aren't everything."
Natalia listened, then recited every word back to Elian.
Kim spoke again, "he wasn't always like this." She said softly to Natalia. "He was a good boy, normal, before we died." He said. "Even the drugs didn't cause it," She told her. "I think it was our death... it drove him crazy."
She didn't recite this to Elian. Instead, she spoke directly to her. "He's mentally ill. There's a name for what he has." She said. "Addiction and sex was his way of coping."
Kim stood next to Elian and stroked his hair even when her hands went right through it. "I know," She said. "But there's something more than that... we've always known it, we just never knew what exactly. We still don't."
Natalia raised her eyebrows. "I...I've sensed it to. I think...it has something to do with what I can do."
Kim nodded and gently touched his hand. Rob, his father, finally spoke. "Can you find out whats wrong with him?" He asked.Elian looked at her, "what? Whats wrong with him?" He asked.
"I could try," she ignored Elian. "But it might take some time. I'll really have to delve into my ability, which isn't really a fun thing to do." She said.
Kim nodded, "we'll be here," she said and took her husbands hand. "Tell him we love him?" She asked and Rob nodded in agreement.
She looked at Elian. "They love you, Elian. Of course they wished they could have helped you more. I'm sure they would have if they were still here." She took his hand.
Kim nodded, "we would have." She said, "thank you, give Amelia a big hug and kiss for us, yeh?" She requested.
"We both will." She assured. "We'll keep in touch okay?"
"They will." She said. "You can say goodbye."
Elian nodded, "goodbye." He said quietly.
Natalia smiled at them, then when she broke the connection, the others swarmed. She gasped and whirled around.
"What?" Elian asked, his eyes widening. "Whats wrong?"
"We need to leave. Or I do. I can't.." she covered her ears.
"Hey," Elian said softly, taking her hand and leading her out of the graveyard quickly.
She kept her ears covered and closed her eyes a couple of times as he led her out. She took a deep breath once they were out.
Elian wrapped his arms around her tightly, "I'm so sorry," he whispered. "This is all my fault."
She hugged him tight, shaking her head against his chest. "No no it's okay. I'm fine."
Elian nodded and picked her up before carrying her to his tattoo shop. Then he walked up to his apartment and laid her down there.
"I did it for you." She breathed. She looked pale.
"I'm sorry, you shouldn't have followed me. I'm so sorry, I forgot," Elian said, taking her hands again. "I'm selfish... I should've known better."
"Elian, stop." She said. "I'm fine. We do things like that for the people we love".
At first she didn't realize what she said. When she did, she blushed. "I mean...uh..."
"I love you, too," Elian said after a moment. A smile tugged at his lips.
She looked up at him, eyes wide and hopeful. "Yeah?" She bit her lip.
He leaned forward without answering and pressed his lips to hers.
She closed her eyes and kissed him back, smiling against his lips.
He smiled against her lips, lifting a hand to his cheek.
She pulled away after a few seconds. "I love you." She whispered.
He nodded and kissed her again, "I love you."
