Chapter 8- We have a plan

                                    

                                          
"What did you just say babes?" realisation hits you, you try to brush it off but it's too late he already knows "I didn't say anything just complaining about Lydia" you tried to lie to him but it was no good. "(Y/n) Its okay I like you too" tears were still running down your cheeks but that didn't bother either of you, Beej slowly leant in and placed a soft peck against your lips, you pulled back and looked into his eyes, he wiped your tears away and you were in shock that he liked you the same way, even more shocked by how surprisingly soft his lips were, you leaned in again and this time you deepened kiss, you felt those butterflies in your stomach except this time all over your body and it just felt so right.

                          
"How about we get you ready for bed babes, give Lydia some time to cool down I'm sure she'll be fine in the morning" Beetlejuice said after pulling away from the kiss, you thought about it for a little while and realised he was right, when you and Lydia fight it never lasts long "You're right Beej" you grabbed your pyjamas and went into the bathroom to change and brush your teeth, you then climbed into bed and heard BJs voice "Sweet dreams (Y/n) babes" he turned off the lights and disappeared although you had a feeling he wasn't really gone so you spoke out into the empty room "Beetlejuice, I'd actually like it if you stayed with me tonight" no sooner had the words left your mouth when he appeared beside you in your bed "I thought you'd never ask" you leant into his hold and slowly feel asleep feeling a weird mix of joy, relief, anger and fear.

                          
The joy that you had BJ beside you and all to your self and Relief he feels the same way you do, But anger towards Lydia and what she said to you and fear that she won't forgive you for judging her so harshly.
                          
You woke up the next morning to find BJ still fast asleep and yourself cuddled into his chest, you slowly and carefully pulled yourself away from his grip and got out of bed instantly feeling cold once you left his touch, you leaned down and placed a quick kiss on the side of his forehead before jumping in your shower and getting ready for the day ahead, you left your room as Lydia left hers and you both found yourselves staring at each other before embracing each other in a hug.
                          
"I'm so sorry Lydia, I shouldn't have judged you in such a way"
                          
"No (N/n), I'm sorry, I said some awful things to you just because you had a different opinion than me and I 100% regret what I said" You and Lydia spent the next few minutes hugging and apologising profusely to each other until you got interrupted by Delia calling you downstairs for breakfast.
                          
You and Lydia sat in your usual seats, as soon as you sat down Delia spoke up "Girls remember that tonight is a super important night for your father and me, We're having some business friends over and I want you on your best behaviour" Lydia must've rolled her eyes or maybe you did it subconsciously as this was the next thing Delia addressed "No eye-rolling missy, this is serious! I want you both in something colourful, with how much black the both of you wear it would be more like someone's funeral than a business dinner, although I'm sure that would appeal to you more (Y/n)" This time you know it was you who rolled your eyes "I said no eye-rolling! No black clothes and let's add no talk of death or ghosts onto that list okay? that goes for both of you" 
                          
The rest of breakfast was rather uneventful, as you left the dining room Lydia whispered in your ear "Attic in 5, we have a plan" you nodded a response and then headed to your room.
                          
When you entered your room you find Beetlejuice awake and waiting for you, you wrap your arms around his neck "Good morning Beej" he leans down a places a gentle kiss on the tip of your nose and pulls you into a proper hug; you then proceed to tell him all about you and Lydia making up and how apparently she and the Maitlands have some sort of plan for tonight.
                          
"Wait whats tonight?" he interrupted but you didn't mind "Oh just some stupid dinner Delia and dad have organised for their business friends nothing exciting" you rolled yours just thinking about the evening ahead and realised that its going to be hard to go through a whole dinner without once rolling your eyes at Dad or Delia, Beetlejuice spoke up again interrupting your train of thought.
                          
"I've heard you complain so much about Delia, do you mind if I hang around this dinner?" 
                          
"Won't people be able to see you?" you asked with concern "No, Only the dead can see me, and I guess you and Lydia"
                          
"Okay fine"
                          
"Good because I was going to anyway," he said with a smirk, you looked at your clock "Beej I'm heading up to the attic, I might be a while" you stood on your tiptoes and placed a passionate kiss against his lips before leaving for the attic.
                          
Once you got there Lydia and the Maitlands talked you through their entire plan to scare your parents and their business friends through possessing them "So? what do ya think?" Lydia asked you, you spent a moment thinking. Lydia is your little sister and you'd do anything for her but this you weren't sure about "Lydia I may not agree with this but I love you more than anything and If this is really what you want to do I'll support you, Like I know Mom would have" you said against your better judgement, "It really is what we think is right" Lydia said and then Adam spoke up "(Y/n) If we can just get them to acknowledge our existence then maybe we could convince them that we could live in peace" 
                          
"Well alright then, and I suppose it will be funny to see Delia scared out of her wits" you said, Lydia hugged you and mumbled out a response, her voice muffled by the hug "Thank you (N/n)" You Lydia and the Maitlands spent the rest of the afternoon perfecting your plan and playing out all the different ending scenarios in your heads and before you knew it you and Lydia had to leave to get ready.
