think you can challenge me? You have NOTHING!” he shouted with such force.
    It was so strong that I flew to the other end of the garden. I looked up to see Jay levitate into the air, still looking at me with that face, that face that would haunt me, this thing inside him, it broke him in two and let his lifeless body fall to the ground.
    “JAY!” I shrieked as I ran down the garden.
    Only then did someone hear me and neighbours looked out of their windows to see me running down the garden at someone lying on the grass amongst the nasty weather swirling outside and a fallen tree on the grass.
    They came over quickly and found me in sobs of tears as I held him in my arms. Blood poured from his mouth as a tree from the garden was lying over him. People called for help but it was too late.
    Jay looked me in the eye “Don’t let him beat you, I….I love you” and with his last breath he died.
    How could this have happened? I had done nothing to make this ghost angry, yes I sought help but that was it, Jay had done nothing and now he was gone, but I remembered what that thing said, he said that Jay tried to help me defeat him or it, but how did he do that? 
    He wasn’t with me when I went for help. I needed to know what he had done but in the meantime police and ambulance crew had turned up at Jay’s house.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

CHAPTER 8
     
    It’s weird when I look back on that night, I can remember each and every little detail as if it only happened yesterday. 
    I was sat with Jay’s mum in the living room; I remember everyone around me moving like a hundred miles per hour, his mum was in tears as they carted the body through the house out to the coroners van. 
    The police man sat in-front of me, I guess he wanted answers, when a guy dies in the garden of his house and he is butt-naked, of course they are going to come looking for answers.
    “Excuse me miss, I’m detective Jones from homicide, I’d like to ask you a few questions if you’re ok with that” he seemed very sympathetic.
    Jay’s mum shook her head as she continued to cry holding my hand really, really tight.
    “It’s ok I’ll help you, look, officer, detective person, he went out into the garden and tree fell on him, can’t you see that” I blurted out trying to contain my hurt and anger.
    “Yes ma’am I can see that however we have to cover all bases” he told me.
    “I understand that, but you’re from homicide correct?” I seemed to be avid.
    “Yes ma’am that is correct but….” He tried to explain.
    I didn’t let him finish, I cut him off, “Well I know what that means officer and this isn’t suspicious, he was killed by a bloody tree and if you can’t see that then well, you’re not very good are you….” I was a little rude.
    “I understand this is a difficult time for you, if you could just answer some questions I will leave you be….” He was very professional.
    “Fine” I snapped.
    “Can you tell me what happened?” he asked with his notepad ready.
    Oh great, in my mind I was thinking  ‘well Mr Officer I see ghosts he did something to piss one of them off so the big nasty ghost man came and fucking killed him’  but of course I couldn’t say that.
    So I rolled my eyes and I told partial truth “We were relaxing for the evening, I had been out all day and I came here and Mrs Klein was out, we watched some telly, we uhhh, we had sex and then we fell asleep, I woke up and noticed he was gone, I heard banging downstairs so I went down and saw the back door open, I went outside and saw him standing there, I called him but then lightning hit the tree and it fell on top of him before I could get there….” My heart was pounding with nerves.
    “Was he awake?” the policeman asked.
    “I don’t think so, he didn’t hear me when I called him” I replied trying to hide my nervousness.
    “Has he slept walked
