chapter seven:

Eyo. Just realized luke and angel keep fainting in this fic. Lolzors

Sorry if that bugs you x

Also everything will be in lowercase and there may be typos. Im doing this on my shitty phone :-)

I visited Michael again today.

The nurse said he was so much better. His bandages were removed  and there was barely any scar aside from a pinkish blot on his skin.

The nurse was actually pleased with him. It was because even though michael almost burned to death he was still positive and the nurse admired him for that.

He's gonna be released soon so the doctors had said.

Meanwhile luke has been sick ever since the accident with michael. He was always in bed, always sniffling and coughing and boiling hot, and needless to say i was worried. Everyone kept saying he was probably sick with something human, aka a cold, but that was impossible. I know for a fact luke and i are immune to that shit. But i shake it off and just tended to him.

"Hey lukey," i say amidst luke's series of coughs. I lie down on the bed beside him and hug him, sighing at the abnormal warmth of his body. "Feeling any better?"

"Feeling more like shit." he said in a rough voice "now i can't stop scratching my eyes."

"Dont scratch!" i said, lightly slapping away his hand "i'll get some water."

I remove myself from the bed and went downstairs, getting a basin and filling it with water. I turn off the faucet and lift the basin walking to the stairs- but then the phone starts to ring. I put the basin on a table and answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Angel! How's Luke?" i smile at ashton's cheery voice on the other line.

"Still pretty sick, and there's no medicine up here in heaven. Simple human sicknesses don't get cured with angel magic." i said

"Do you want me to go back to earth and get something for you guys real quick? I'm actually also off to buy michael a game as a homecoming present." ashton offered.

"You are a lifesaver ashton. I would appreciate that a lot." i said.

"Okay what do you need?" he asks.

"Just something for a cold and a headache and probably some eye drops."

"Okay cool. I'll be back later. See ya!"

"See ya ash. Keep safe!" i said and hung up.

I take the basin of water again and start to walk up the stairs. I see luke scratching at his eyes but he stops and stares guiltily once he saw me. I just shake my head and pull up a chair near his side of the bed, putting the basin on it and rubbing his body with water to help him cool down.

Luke just stares at me as i squeeze the towel and put it on his forehead, wiping his face and neck. "You know, its been tons of generations and i still don't get it."

"Get what?" i asked curiously.

"Why me?" he asks and it made me stop, the towel resting on his cheek as i stare inro his innocent blue eyes. "Why did you love me?"

I start wiping at his cheek again but stopped, since his question made me think.

Why did i fall in love with luke?

In this generation, luke has been nothing but a rude sod to me and now, knowing all the details its pretty understandable. But why, that even back then when i didn't know i was an angel and i didn't know i died every seventeen years, did i still fall for luke?
