Angel ~ In the Eyes of Megan

Chapter 2

I decided to spend the night at Cam and Nash's but I didn't sleep. I paced back and forth downstairs, thinking about how I was supposed to fix this. If there was anyway that I could become alive again, I would find it. I made my way onto the balcony and sat in one of the lounge chairs. The cold air tingled against my skin and it felt nice. I would give anything to be able to continue feeling it.

I spun around quickly do to a loud squeak and there was Taylor. He walked over to the ledge and leaned his sbody on the balcony wall. "Hey Megan." He said. "Hi." I replied. "How, are you?" He looked out over the city. "Dead. How am I supposed to feel?" I chuckled. "Yeah that was a stupid question. I wish I could have held onto you a little longer." He chuckled to himself and looked down at the ground. 

"Why'd your dad have to do this?" He asked the sky. "I don't know. I wish that it didn't happen just as much as you do." I stood up and walked over to him. "This world is a crazy place." He glanced my way but then looked forward again. "Why can't you just look at me. I want to see your eyes." I said to him. "This is my fault." He shook his head. "No it's not." My body was inches from his as he continued to look at all the buildings around us. 

"If I talked to you at Magcon just a little longer, I bet this wouldn't have happened." A tear fell down his cheek. "Stop saying that." I looked at him pitifully. "God, please forgive me." He looked up at the stars and back down again. "Taylor stop!" I shouted. "Should've been me." He looked back down. "Taylor I said stop!" I grabbed his arm. "It wasn't your fault!" I tightened my grip and then suddenly he jumped back in terror, knocking over some chairs and a plastic cup.

I looked down at my hand and back at Taylor. "What the hell was that." He whisper shouted. A few second later, Nash came down in his boxers (oh lord) and stepped onto the balcony with us. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He said while picking up the chairs. "Dude, something grabbed me." He pointed to where I was standing. "Taylor-" He cut him off. "Bro, I am not shiting you right now. I think it was Megan." I smiled. It was one step closer to him knowing that I was still here. 

"You need some sleep, come on." He motioned him inside but he kept looking back at me. I followed before I could get locked out. The boys went upstairs and I laid on the couch. Soon enough I was sound asleep. I dreamt of Magcon. Meeting the boys and spending the day with them.  It felt so real but deep down, I knew it wasn't. 

I woke up to the sound of dishes clanging together. Cameron was setting a pan in the sink which was already filled with dirty dishes. "Thanks Cam, these eggs are amazing." Taylor stated. "Well, I don't like to brag but I do make some pretty mean scrambled eggs." He wink and then laughed. "You're such a nerd." I chuckled while sitting up. 

"So, I've got a meeting that I've gotta run to at 9:00 and Nash is meeting Skylnn and Will since they're in L.A today, what do you have planned?" Taylor shrugged. "I think I'm meeting up with my dad and manager to go pick out an RV for my RV Project coming up." Cam patted his shoulder and turned around. "I'm gonna get dressed." Taylor said, throwing his dish in the sink. "Sure, I guess I'll clean your dish for you." He laughed. "Sorry bro." He ran upstairs and it was just Cam and I. 

Cameron quietly did the dishes while humming the lyrics to No Type. In that moment of watching him scrub plates, it accured to me that if my force was so strong that Taylor could feel it, then maybe I make it even stronger to the point where he could actually see me. I'd have to figure out how it would work but if it did then I would have one heck of a story to tell everyone.

Taylor then came sprinting downstairs, fully dressed with a bandana wrapped around his forehead. "Dude, you wear that same blue bandana like everyday." Cam joked. Then Nash came down the stairs too. "Yeah I know." Taylor began to blush. "How come?" Cam closed the dish washer and turn his full attention to Taylor. "Because this is the bandana I wore when I met Megan." The room fell silent.

Taylor then left before things could get anymore awkward. Nash and Cameron went upstairs to get dressed so I sat down at the counter and waited for them. My eyes glanced down at a piece of paper and a pencil to my left. I looked towards the stairs to see of anyone was looking and when I saw that no one was, I turned back around and reached for the pencil. My fingers gripped the wood and my wrist went up. I was holding the pencil. It was incredible!

But the real test was to see if I could write anything. I took the pencil and place it on the paper. I began to draw a small line until I heard footsteps and I quickly pushed the two objects away. Cameron must have sensed the movement because he stopped in his tracks and looked over at me. He started walking towards me and I quickly moved out of the way. He reached out to the paper and picked it up. He stared at the small mark for a long time but then shook his head as if he were snapping out of a day dream.

"You alright?" Nash asked. "Yeah, I'm good. Let's go." He said. I followed them out the door. When Nash and Cam split up in the parking lot, I decided to go with Nash. I hopped in before Nash and sat in the front seat. "Hey Nash." I said to him. "I wish you could see me." I sighed. "Hey Megan." He said. I got dead cold inside. "How are you. God I sound weird. Talking to myself." He put his key in ignition but didn't turn it. 

"You aren't talking to yourself. I'm right here." I said. "I wish you were, like, still alive." He said. "I am!" I almost shouted. I reached for the stereo and blasted it. "What the fuck." He jumped back and turned the music off. He turned completely pale and kept looking around his car. "Megan? Is that you?" He looked around. I didn't repsond. I wasn't going to. Soon enough he started the car and drove off. "I'm going crazy." He sighed. We drove into the city and went into a local McDonalds. 

When we got in, I noticed Will and Skylnn in the play structure in the back. "Skylnn!" Nash shouted. Skylnn looked through the plastic tube and screamed Nash's name. He came out and gave Nash a huge hug. It was so cute. Her eyes flickered up at me and she smiled. "Hi." She said in my direction. I pointed at myself and turned around to see no one behind me. Then she giggled. 

"Who you talkin to? Is that another one of your imaginery friends?" Nash gave her a noogy. "No, she's right there." Nash didn't really pay attention. He was too busy reuniting with Will. "Come on, lets go play!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me up the stairs. "I think I'm too big to fit in here." I chuckled. "No you're not." She giggled adorably. 

We got into a plastic race car and sat down. "So, what's your name?" She asked. "I'm Megan. And you're Skylnn I suppose." I smiled. "I love your name." She hugged me. "Thank you." I still couldn't believe how she could see me prefectly but everyone else couldn't. I was almost intrigued on how she does it. "How can you see me when no one else can?" I asked her. "That's easy. It's because I only see the happy things." She smiled. "Wait, so that means that no one can see me because they're all upset about my death and don't believe that I'm still alive?" 

I wasn't really expecting her to say anything. "Yeah. I guess." She shrugged. "How do I make them see me?" I lowered my face to hers a tad bit. "Show them that you are here." I stared at her in amazment. Suddenly Nash and Will called for Skylnn. "Come on goose, it's time to go!" Will hollared. We climbed out and even though she knew that they couldn't see me, she continued to talk to me as if I were just another person tagging along with them.  

"So whats your princess name?" She asked, looking up at me. "Ummmm, Princess Sparkle! What is yours?" She giggled and the guys kept looking at her funny. "Mines Princess Glitter." She said. We got into the car and I sat in the back with Sky. "Who are you talking to over there?" Nash said looking back at her from the passenger seat. (We were in Nash's car because Will got dropped off at McDonalds with Skylnn and didn't have a ride). "My friend." She swatted his hand back as he tried to tickle her. "What's your friends name?" He asked. "Megan." Nash's smile faded and everything got dead quiet.
