Chapter 1: Unexpected reunion
I was just fifteen when I fell in love!. He was eight-teen…but I didn’t care if he was a hundred years old, I would still love him no matter what!. It’s been two years sense I last saw Angel!. I knew that he would look the same, even after two years!. I was sitting at the corner café on first and fifth when I saw him!. And I was right… He did look the same!. His eyes were the same shade of blue, his hair that same shade of jet black, and his mouth, nose, and everything else looked the same too my eyes!. I saw him sit across the café from me!. I pulled the menu up so that he wouldn’t see my face!. But he wouldn’t remember me…the girl who told him I love you!. Then he was gone, puff, vanished…!. He left without a trace, without saying good-bye!. As I told myself I was being silly, I put down my menu!. As I did this, I saw Sally (my best friend) making her way over to me!. When she got to the table, I saw that she was breathing heavy!.
“I-I know I’m late,” She said trying with her teeth chattering!. “B-But there was a lot of traffic!. S-So I ran here!. And I got on the subway, but of course it was crowded!” I chuckled as she sat down!. She threw her purse on the table, her teeth still chattering from the cold!. She picked up her menu, and opened it, I looked over her shoulder to get one more look at him, but saw that he wasn’t there!. I looked all over the café but couldn’t find him!. Maybe I just imagined him…I thought!.
“Hmph, am I going crazy or what!?” I asked myself!. Sally looked up from her menu; she hunched up her eyebrow as if confused!.
“What!?” I shook my head, and then the waiter walked over and took our order!. I sat there; now and then looking across the café hoping I would see him again!.
“So Natalie…how’s your brother doing!?” she asked while playing with her straw!.
“Huh!?” I asked not paying attention!. She sighed and took a sip of her diet coke!.
“How’s Jeff doing!?” She asked!. I combed my fingers threw my dark brown hair, and sighed!.
“Oh… I guess okay!. He really isn’t around that much anymore!. After Ginger died, his kind of been distant you know, not wanting to talk to me, or Mom…not even too Kevin,” I said!. “I mean it’s to be expected!. Ginger was his wife after all!.” I said looking up, and saw she was staring at me!.
“What!?” I asked irritated!.
“I just feel so bad for him you know!. I mean him and Ginger were married for only what, a year!.” I was surprised that she would say that!.
“Sally it doesn’t matter if they were married a few mouths none the less a year, marriage is marriage, and love is love!. How long were your parents married before your Mom died!?” I asked somewhat angry!. I saw her winch, and I knew I hurt her!. I took a deep breath trying to calm down!.
“Listen… I am sorry for what I said!. You know how I get when it comes to Jeff…!.” She sighed and then she looked at me with a huge grin on her face!.
“Your right I shouldn’t have said anything!.” She said still smiling at me!. We sat there in complete silence for what felt like hours more then minutes!.
“So when‘s the wedding!?” She asked taking another sip of her drink!. I sighed and looked out the window at the crowded street!.
“They want to have the wedding in December!.” She nodded and picked up her napkin and laid it in her lap!. I looked at were Angel sat when he first arrived!. And there he was, sitting as if he just came fell down from heaven!. Looking so fair skinned and beautiful!. I couldn’t take my eyes off him!. And when Sally asked me what I was looking at!. I couldn’t help but say!.
“My Angel…” She gave me her “What” look, and then looked over her shoulder!. After a few second, she looked back at me and her eyes looked like they were about to pop out of her head!.
“Do you know that guy!?” She asked in a hyperactive kind of way!. I nodded my head and continued to stare at him!. Sally still had her mouth hanging open when the waiter came up with our food!.
“Are you alright Miss!?” The waiter asked kindly!. Sally blushed and croaked a
“Yes!” What am I doing!? I thought!. I needed to stop, my feelings for him were in the past, and I needed to move on!. I painfully dragged my eyes down to my lap!. I picked up my hamburger and began to eat it slowly!.
“What’s his name!?” Sally asked before biting into her sandwich!. I jumped a little at her question!.
“Huh,” I said while blinking my eyes a few times!. She gave me “you heard me” look!. “Oh his name…it’s…it’s Angel!.” I said a little shy, and I had no idea why!.
“Well that makes sense…!. “She got up and I jumped up and grabbed her arm, and pulled her back down in her seat!.
“What the hell are you doing,” I asked in a whisper!. “Don’t you dare go over there!?” She smiled at me!. She got back up and started to pull me along with her, to the table were he was sitting with a woman I hadn‘t noticed!. She had light blonde hair, bright green eyes, and was skinny…!. I already hated her!. I let go of her arm and ran back to the table, threw down my part of the bill and ran around the corner, hoping he didn‘t see me!. She walked up to the table and blurted out!.
“Hi, your Angel right!?” I looked over at them and saw him nod his head and reply with a
“Yes!.” He said genteelly!.
“Ha ha, I guess she does know you after all,” She looked back towards our table that was now empty!. “Huh, where’d she go!?” She asked!. He sighed, and stood up towering over her!. She looked at him with her mouth hanging open!.
“I’m sorry but, who are you and what are you talking about!?” He asked!. Sally blushed!. She picked at her shirt and smoothed out the wrinkles!.
“M-My friend…says she knows you…!.” She said still blushing!. He sighed again!.
“And who might your friend be!?” He asked sounding bored!. Sally clasped her heads together and squeezed tight!.
“H-Her name…!? Ummmmm…!.” Saying as if she forgot He pointed his index finger in the air and moved it left, to right, saying
“Tick, tock, tick, tock,” She looked back up at him, opened her mouth, but nothing came out!. “I don‘t have all day sweetie,” He said brushing his fingers there his hair!. “If ya got nothing to say, then go away!. He was being so rude to Sally…! He was really pissing me off! It was wrong for me to make her tell him it was I in the first place!. The girl that said I love you…but you never said it back!. I knew it was time to let myself be known!. I took a deep breath!. All right, it’s time to let him know it’s me!. I thought!. I stepped out of the shadows and walked over towards them!. He looked my way and his face turned chalk white!.
“Hi Angel, long time no see,” He looked at me up and down!. He cleared his throat and opened his mouth!. But couldn’t find the right words!. “How have ya been!?” I asked while he still searched for words to say!.
“N-Natalie!?” He asked speechless!. I nodded my head and chuckled!. “What!?” He asked with a scowl on his face!. I looked up at him and smiled!.
“Oh I’m just surprised that you remembered my name, that’s all!.” I chuckled again and looked over at Sally who was now staring at me surprised!. “Well it’s nice too seeing you again, Angel!. But Sally and I have to leave!. Come on Sally,” Sally stood there for a minute looking confused!. “Sally come on!” I said starting to feel anxious to get away!. When she didn’t move, I grabbed her arm and pulled her after me!. When were outside of the café, I let out the breath I had been holding for so long!. And when I let it out, I noticed at how fast my heart was beating!. It was so loud that I couldn’t hear anything but it’s speed!. As my heart slowed down, I heard Sally was screaming at me!.
“What the hell, Natalie! Who the hell was that guy!?” She tugged on my arm so hard that it felt like it was about to pop out of it’s socket!. I yanked my arm out of her grip and stomped toward the cross lane!. I pushed the button on the stop light and waited impatiently for the “red had” sign to turn to “walk“!. When it finally did, I didn’t go across!. I spun around and glared at Sally with so much anger, that it hurt to hold it in!. Therefore, I just had to let it out…!
“Sally, why did do that!” I screamed!. I felt tears burning the inside of my eyes lid!. But I wouldn’t let them fall, I wouldn’t cry!.
“I…,” She said!. I turned around fuming and walked across when she shouted, “I’m sorry!” I stopped; I looked back at her and saw she was crying!. I took a deep breath and took a step back towards her when everything went black!.
Chapter 2: Unfamiliar faces
The next thing I knew I was laying on my back next to the car that hit me!. My back was sore; I couldn’t move a muscle without flinching!. I heard people shouted from far away, or at least I thought they were!. One voice stood out from everyone else‘s!. It was Sally screaming my name repeatedly, while she ran over to me!.
“Natalie! Natalie,” She screamed!. “Are you alright!?” She screamed with tears flowing down her cheeks!. I tried to pull myself up!. But didn’t make it an inch before falling back down!.
“I’m sore…all over…!” I whispered in pain!. She dung into her purse and had her cell phone out in seconds!. She dialed 911, and then spoke in such a hurry that she had to repeat herself, to the operator!.
“My friend was hit by a car on the corner of first and fifth! Send an ambulance!” She screamed still crying as if she was the one who was hit by the car!. She closed the phone after a few moments and dropped to her knees!. She put her face into her hands, and began to cry again!. And then let out an ear splitting cry, that it made me feel like my ear drums were about to explode!.
“Sally…stop screaming!? “ I asked!. She looked down at me wide eyed, and then howls with joy!. I winched!.
“Damn it Sally! Please lower your voice!?” I asked trying to remain clam; I laid there staring up at the clear blue sky!. Thinking at how did these things always happened to me!. The ambulance arrived 10 minutes later!. They checked if I had any broken bones, I told them I didn’t have any!. They shined a little light in my eyes, and asked me questions!. Like when was my birthday, how old I was, what was my name, stuff a five year old could answer!. I answered them all of course!.
“Miss is you in pain,” The man asked!. I nodded not want to speak!. I was afraid that if I uttered a word more pain would come!.
“What hurts, honey!?” An older woman asked, while she touched me here and there, seeing if I would flinch!.
“My backs a little sore, but my right arm hurts the most of all!.” I said in a whisper!. He nodded his head!. He then put a neck brace on my neck, and then they put me on the gurney!. However, before they loaded me into the ambulance, Sally run up to me and hugged me!. I let out a gasp, she let go instantly!.
“Sorry!.” She said and smiled!. I smiled back at her!. As they wheeled me towards the ambulance!. I saw Angel on the sidewalk not five feet away!. He had his back to me, speaking with one of the police officers!. Then they loaded me into the ambulance!. I looked out to the unfamiliar faces looking in at me!. I saw that now Angel was staring at me with a look of concern!. I was surprised at his look; I didn’t think that he cared that much to look at me like that!. I lifted my hand and waved to him!. His face softened, he then waved back!. I could not stop my mouth from tilting up into a smile!. I winched from the pain!. I looked back to see if Angel was still standing on the sidewalk, but he wasn’t!. He was walking down the street to his car… with that girl!. They closed the doors, and then we were on our way to the hospital!. When they wheeled me into the hospital, I saw my Mom and Kevin!. My Mom was crying her eyes out, but Kevin was there trying his best to comfort her!.
“Mom!” I called over to her!. Mom looked up at me, and then sprang up sprinting over to me, shouting her lungs out!.
“Natalie Joan Miller! Why were you in the street when it a green light,” I laid there waiting for them to move me to safe!. However, I knew they weren’t going to in time!. “I mean you could have died! What were you thinking!?” She cried!. I sighed,
“Listen Mom I’m sorry!. I didn’t know the light was green, it was red when I started to cross!.” Her eyes grew wide!.
“Oh!.” She said!. Kevin stood behind her not wanting to get into it!. I looked over at him and smiled!.
“Hi Kev, what’s up!?” I asked, and he smiled!.
“Nothing much!. I’m glad that your safe, sweetheart!.” That made me smile!. That was the first time that Kevin said something like that to me!. After a few minutes, they rolled me to my room!. They put me on the hospital bed and left!. I heard a swoosh sound!. I looked over and saw a girl a few years younger then me lying on the bed next to mine!.
“Hi,” She said with a sweet smile!. I couldn’t help but smile too!. “What’s your name!?” She asked!. I pushed the bed up in a sitting position!. I sighed and lifted my arm to scratch at the neck brace!. But my arm hurt too much to be able to lift it that high!.
“Hello!?” She asked in a kind of funny way!.
“Hi sorry, my names Natalie,” I said and yawned!. “What’s yours!?” I looked over at the girl and noticed for the first time that she didn’t have any hair!.
“My name’s Marie, nice to meet you!.” I couldn’t stop myself from staring at her head!.
“I have cancer,” She said and pointed at her head!. “That’s why I don’t have any hair!.” She said and smiled!. I blushed!.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to stare!.” I said!. My neck started to ache, so I lay back down and looked at the ugly white ceiling!. After awhile my eyes were dry, I had to blink a few times to get them moister back in them!. And looked over at the open window!. It was cloudy out now, and there was a breeze coming through the window, it felt good on my warm skin!.
“You don’t look to good,” She said!. I looked over at her and saw that she was smirking!. “What happened!?” I sighed and let out a short laughed!.
“Got hit by a car that’s what happened,” I said and sighed a sigh of pettiness!. Why was my life full of bad luck!? I thought!. “I’m cursed!.” I said!. She laughed and then it was quiet!. My eyes began to feel heavy, and the next thing I knew I was asleep dreaming of My Angel!. It was a sad dream; I’ve had it many times before!. I dreamt that Angel was leaving again, and I was running after him while he drove away!. I shouted his name repeatedly, trying to catch up with him!. But I never catch him!. I woke with a start, and then I started to remember the dream, I started to cry!. I wiped my face with the back of my hand!. And lay there for not more then a second!. When I heard a strange noise!.
“Still a cry baby I see!.” I pushed the up button and the bed sprang up into a sitting position, and saw Angel sitting in a chair not two feet away!. I glared over at him!.
“What are you doing here,” I asked annoyed!. I heard him chuckled under his breath!. “What’s so funny!?” I asked even more annoyed!. He chuckled again!.
“I was worried about you, so I came to see if you were going to live!.” Now it was my turn to chuckle!.
“Why would you care what happens to me,” I asked quietly not wanting to wake Marie up!. “I mean you never cared before, and---”
“Stop right there,” He shouted!. “What makes you so sure that I don’t care, hmmmm! You don’t know me!” I just laughed!.
“Oh don’t I,” I said in a bitter tone!. “I told you how I felt and you blew me off completely, and then to make matters worse, you left the city! I didn’t know were you gone! It was killer not knowing were you went, not knowing if you were safe…if you were dead,” I gasped and threw my hands to my face and began to sob!. “…You really hurt me you know!.” I said through my hands!. There was a click!. I pulled my hands from my face, and saw that Angel was leaving!.
“Sorry but Janice is waiting for me outside!. It was good to see you again, Natalie,” He bowed his head and whispered a good-bye!. Then he was gone!. More tears flew down my cheeks!. I heard the swoosh noise again!. I looked over at Marie!. She was rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand!.
“What’s with all the noise,” She asked annoyed!. “I’m trying to sleep over here!.” I made sure that I was tear free and smiled over at her!.
“Sorry I’ll try to be quiet!.” I said and she yawned!.
“Kay…thanks!.” She laid back in bed and moved around a little bit, finally getting comfortable!. I laid there waiting for more tears to come, but they never did, and I was happy that they didn’t!. My eyes grew heavy, and then I fell asleep not dreaming about Angel, in fact not dreaming at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
