A Ghost Whisperer Story By

The light, she's seen it twice now. It truly was beautiful, but she couldn't go into it. Melinda Gordon, didn't want to go into it, she had to much to do, too many people to help. She gazed into the light one more time, she knew she wasn't dead, not yet. This was their way of testing her, seeing if she wanted to quit, if she couldn't handle it anymore. Sometimes she couldn't. A lot of the time she could.

Her eyes slowly drifted open, as she took in the bright light of the white room. Ugh! I hate hospitals. Melinda cried, as she looked to see her husband asleep beside her. She laughed, it came out hoarse and choppy. The doctor came in, also laughing at Jim, who was literally sprawled out on the small chair snoring, loudly.

"Good to see you're awake Ms. Gordon," The doctor smiled, "I'm Dr. Best, I know don't laugh, it's true though." Melinda stifled a chuckle. "You know you've been unconscious for two weeks, we were starting to worry." Melinda gasped, there is no way. Two weeks?

"Two weeks?" she questioned.

"Yeah, due to over exhaustion, dehydration, lack of food, your many bruises, and of course your leg. We expected a slight a coma, but you went about a week over."

"Did they get him?"

"Who?"

"Allan."

"Yes, they did Ms. Gordon, he won't hurt anyone ever again." Melinda sighed, thinking that John and the others must have crossed over by now. Which was good, but she sort of wanted to say goodbye and tell them thank you.

"Mel?" came a sleepy voice. Melinda looked over at Jim and smiled, he smiled back. "You're okay?"

"I am going to be just fine." Taking her hand in his, Jim smiled, silently thanking all of the good spirits who look after his wife, for saving her life and without a doubt his.

"Don't you ever do that to me again," He said still smiling.

"Never."

Two weeks later...

Melinda Gordon sat on the bench, that was exactly half way between her shop and Jim's work. Smiling as the wind blew through her hair. She never really quite got over the incident. At least not until she went to see Allan in jail. She told him that she forgave him and that she wanted him to be better from now on. People were amazed that she would do that, but it stopped her nightmares, and she felt better.

"You know, I kind of like being dead, I finally get to be a super hero, may not go into the light now," John popped out of nowhere suddenly, sitting beside her. Shaken from her thoughts Melinda looked at him. He looked alive(Well Sort of) he seemed to be happy again, nothing holding him back.

"Well you were my super hero," Melinda smiled, "Thank you." John laughed.

"I should be thanking you, you saved me, saved all of those others. They told me to tell you thanks and that they all crossed over." Melinda shook her head, she was glad, at least she knew they had gone.

"Why didn't you go with them?" Melinda asked.

"I wanted to say bye to you, make sure you were okay," John Cairy answered.

"You know what John, I am okay. Do you think you can do me a favor?"

"Yeah sure, anything!"

"Go into the light, you'll be a better super hero there. You'll be able to watch over your mom, dad. I'm not sure what it's like, but you'll probably be able to ride your bike without falling and have a lot of fun."

"I was just thinking that I didn't deserve it, I mean, I did so much wrong," He stated.

"Everyone deserves the light, everyone. The best thing is, is that no one will remember you for your mistakes, for your failures. They'll remember you as the little boy with so much life, who loved sports, and strangely math. Who would never hurt anyone and cared for everything. The boy who wanted to be a veterinarian. They'll remember John Cairy, for who he is, not the choices he made. I may have not known you while you were living, but from what I see. You will live after death, after all to me, you're living now. And even when I can't see you anymore. You will be in the hearts of those that love you," Melinda explained.

"How do you know?" John asked.

"Because you will be in my heart, and you can see that you will be in your families heart."

"Thanks Melinda, that really means a lot." John stared straight ahead, watching something, amazement in his eyes, "I've seen this twice, but now I feel as though I need to go into it." He stepped forward, then turned around. Looking into Melinda's tear filled eyes. "You watch out for yourself, and remember all of us are watching out for you. Keep doing what you're doing, you bring a lot of people hope. You are the super hero." He put up his small hand, smiled, and waved. Slowly walking towards nothing, until he disappeared, colorful light engulfing him.

Smiling Melinda stood up, and walked towards her shop. Ready now, to face the day, tomorrow, the next day. The rest of her life, and she was determined to help as many as she could. Thanks, John. she smiled, to her he was like a son, now that she thought about, she had so many kids, parents, brothers, and sisters. She was beginning to lose count.
