His Heavenly Sins

01 | I'm Fucking Dead

I'm not sure if they ever found my body. All I know is that I died. I died by trying to kiss my reflection in the water. Stupid, trust me I know. But let me elaborate, it was 2 am and I was at my favorite spot. It was a river with a small and sturdy enough bridge over it. I was drunk, stupid, and laughing at nothing. I was there for five minutes before I caught my reflection in the water.

The moon was shining from above me and I looked into the water, admiring myself. Normally I don't feel pretty but I just felt so beautiful at the moment. Everything around me looked and felt good. I felt good.

I laughed one of my last laughs and leaned in. I didn't care that I couldn't swim. Nothing was on my mind and I loved it. And then I took one of my last breaths and I fell in. It took me a minute to realize I was in the water and then I panicked. I threw my arms around and tried screaming but no sound came out. I got tired quickly and stopped as soon as I realized the back of my head was aching. It had no reason to.

I noticed that the moon was being blocked by something. The light from the moon was no longer shining on me. Until a few seconds later whatever was covering it moved. And the moon was the last thing I saw before I suffocated to my death. I've always liked the moon.

~~~~~~

My eyes flutter open, everything is bright. My eyes slowly adjust to the brightness. And my eyes go wide and my mouth nearly drops to the ground.

Holy shit.

It was the most beautiful view I've ever seen. Everything was so modern but still so natural. Surrounding me were people who looked just as confused as I was. Some were greeted by people with bright and welcoming smiles, while others looked around in awe like me. There was green grass everywhere and buildings. There were air crafts in the air. Everything seemed as if we'd progressed 10,000 years.

Is this heaven? Did I deserve to be here? Fuck, I'm dead. I can't believe I'm actually dead. I can't be dead. I didn't say goodbye. I'm too young I was only 17. I need to go back I-

My panic comes to a stop when a guy, who looks around my age, comes running toward me.

"Sorry for the delay"! He says, looking through the pages of the binder he was holding. He finds a page and looks back up at me with a comforting smile. "Aurora Vale?"

I nod gradually, still processing everything.

He smiles showing off his pearly white set of teeth. "Great! I'm Milo." He takes my hand and shakes it. "I know you must be pretty curious-"

I interrupt him. "Am I dead? Is this heaven?"

"Um yes, and yes," He nods.

"Holy shit. I'm fucking dead, " I slap my hand over my mouth. "Fuck--sorry, am I allowed to swear?"

He lets out a small laugh. "Yes, you're allowed to swear here."

Relief takes over my face. "Oh okay sorry," I say. "So who are you?"

"I'm Milo" he repeats. "My job is to show you around, answer any questions you have, and get you settled in."

"Oh," I say. "So are you like my guardian angel or something?" I ask.

That was probably a dumb question to ask.

He laughs again and this time when I look at him I notice his features more. He has tan glowing skin, light brown hair and he was probably around 5'7 in height. He was gorgeous overall.

"I'm not an angel; I'm a person who died, just like you." the smile is still alive on his face. "And I didn't even know who you were until yesterday." When I don't say anything he grabs my arm and leads me away. "Now come on, before I show you around you need to be introduced."

"Introduced?" I ask. "To who?"

"To the gods of course." He smiles like I was supposed to know who the fuck he's talking about. My eyes go wide and suddenly I feel nauseous.

The thought of God had completely left my mind. How hadn't I thought of that?

"Gods?" I ask petrified of meeting them. I had just died like 15 minutes ago and now I'm going to meet God? He nods as if I shouldn't be worrying at all. "Are they going to decide if I belong in heaven or hell or something?"

"Nope, they just want to meet you!"

Do they want to meet me? Me? Out of all people?

"Why me?" I ask.

he shakes his head, "they meet everyone who comes"

I don't say anything, instead, I admire the places as pass. This place is huge—well it is heaven so I guess it's supposed to be. Not sook after we reach a big building with huge golden doors.

"Don't be nervous," Milo says noticing how tense I am.

How am I not supposed to be nervous when I'm about to meet literal gods?

"What if they hate me?" I ask. Knowing me they probably would hate me.

"They won't. They like everyone, trust me."

I barely know you I want to say but instead, I just give him a firm nod while the huge golden doors slowly start to open. I'm slowly starting to regret everything bad I've done.

I should've never stolen cookies from the jar or ran away from home when I was 10; which scared my parents to death. I should've never slapped Ashley—actually I take that back she kinda deserved it—

My thoughts are interrupted when Milo nudges me and we walk forward together. I can feel their stare on me so I keep my eyes glued to the ground, not daring to make eye contact.

When we come to a stop I drift my eyes up.

I just made eye contact with god.
