My path is showing up outlined and not center lined. How can I fix this?

When clicking on my path, it shows it has a fill instead of being a stroke. When I take the fill color out, giving it a stroke color hoping this will fix the problem, it outlines the path as a box instead of one single line. I just need a center stroke as If I were using the pen tool

Melanie,
It seems that the original path has been outlined. Beyond undoing (Ctr/Cmd+Z) you cannot unoutline so you have to recreate.
If you need a straight line, you can just create it with the right length and centre align it with the rectangle, then adjust the Stroke Weight.
For curved shapes, you may:
1) Direct Select the end segments and delete them;
2) Object>Blend>Blend Options, set Specified Steps to 1;
3) Select both curved side paths and Object>Blend>Make and Object>Blend>Expand, then delete the original side paths and set the Stroke Weight as desired.
