A Christmas Wish Come True (part ll)

Chapter Eight

Maria's POV:

My eyes widen.  "What?"

She looks at me shyly. "Want to go to prom with me?" She repeats.

I couldn't speak.  I forgot how to talk.  So I just stare at her with wide eyes.  This feels so wrong.  I feel like I'm hurting someone really badly if I say yes, but I know if I don't say yes to Amy, she'll get hurt.  So what if the thing I'm thinking of if I say yes is just something imaginary in my mind? You can't care about something that is just in your head.  But real people like Amy...yes you do have to.

I stare at her for a long time while after about what seems like hours, I nod slightly.

She smiles with relife and hugs me close. 

I blush more and hug her back, still holding her hand.

Amelia's POV:

I quickly jump outta bed grabbing a lamp with trembling hands.  Why was someone in my house? I wonder as i shake more.

After a minute i felt someone besides me, trying to hold me.  I scream hitting the thing in the head with my lamp, making it shatter.  I turn on the light, seeing a man in a white cloth with white wings on his back. Beautiful slick hair, and dazzling blue eyes.

"Hello Amelia." He said in a beautiful voice.

Usually this would make me blush.  He looked kinda cute, I'll admit.  But there was something about him...

"Eros." I say outloud.  "You're Eros, or his Norse side cupid."

He laughs slightly.  "You got me."

"Why are you here?" I wonder, letting the lamp get lowered so it isn't as threatening as before.

"To help you." He says standing up.  "I want to mend your heart."

I look at him.  "Why?"

He looks at me with wide eyes. "Did you just ask why a God is helping you?!" He laughs.  "You got it right.  Gods nor Goddesses ever really help mortals, but there's a few of us who will."

I nod as I stare at him.  "But how are you gonna get me someone to truely love? My heart belongs to Maria, but i have to let her go." I say looking down slightly.

He smiles kindly, cupping my chin, gently raising my head to stare at him.

"I have my ways." He says, a giant light surrounding us.

Josh's POV:

"Mike!" I yell as I grab some bags with deadly  drugs in them.

Mike walks in grinning.  "Hey Josh, what's up?"

I look up at him, shaking a bag of a certain drug. "J don't have enough of this.  Where's the rest of it?"

He shrugs.  "They said it should've been here a few days ago, but apparently some people don't want to ship anymore of this stuff."

I curse.

I yell as I stand throwing the bags of drugs onto my desk as i pace around, Mike watching me. 

"I can't believe this!" I groan.  "We need more people for this to work! Maria should pay for what she did to me!"

"Maria's a pretty fine lady...does she have someone?" Mike looks at me hopefully.

I grit my teeth, grab the collar of his shirt, pinning him to the wall.  "She has that stupid girl! She liked a girl compared to me! She's single now, but you're not getting her! I want her back! Her money made me be able to sit there, and drink whenever I pleased! But then that girl came along, showed her that she's actually better than me, and told Maria to dump me!"

"Think you're holding grudges." He mumbles under his breath.

"Listen here." I say coldly as I glare at him.  "You'll help me get my girl back and we'll stop killing people.  The cops aren't on our tails yet and the only one who really knows about this is Maria and her stupid crew of friends who are spy's."

He nods slightly, a hint of fear in his eyes.  He's a big person, he's tall, tuff.  He wouldn't ever look like the one to be scared.  He's only a big tuff guy on the outside, he's a Mama's boy on the inside.  I found that out soon after I met him.

I just sigh letting him go, putting my hands on my desk and lower my head, closing my eyes.

I put my left hand on my face, rubbing my face till it hits my hair and rub my hair till it hits the back of my neck.

"Mike." I say after awhile of thinking.

"Yes Josh?"

"Go find as many people you know who will keep a secret." I stand up straight, looking at him.  "We need to step it up."
