My Short Stories

The Angel part 1

I slowly walked through the mall to meet up with Bryan, my boyfriend. I wonder why he wanted to talk to me? My purple hair swayed behind me as I walked, and the hair covering my right eye started to move away so I quickly placed it back over my eye. Seeing Bryan I smiled and waved to him. "Hey, you said you wanted to talk to me." I looked up to him, he was at least a foot taller than me.

"Um, yeah." He looked hesitant and sad, something's wrong. My smile slowly faded and I froze in place. "I was thinking that," Bryan stopped and looked away. "we should break up Angelica." My eyes widened and I almost started to cry but held back. "I'm-"

"No, I don't want to hear it." My voice trembled and he started to walk away, I just stood there in shock. I couldn't make my legs move then I just collapsed as tears started to fall out of my eyes. People started to stare so I slowly got up and walked out at a quick pace. As soon as I was out of the doors I leaned against a pillar. Feeling a teardrop forming under my eye I touched my face and ran to a field of sunflowers.

I collapsed as a golden light enveloped me. I sighed, Why here? Why now? My blue and black hoodie turned into a blue dress with a black bow. The feathers on my large wings fluttered as the wind blew. I looked up to the sky as a bright red feather drifted to my face. I slowly brought my fingers to my right eye, the blood red reflected the color of the teardrop tattoo under it.

These were one of the rare moments when I disliked my true form as an angel. "A-angelica?" I looked behind me hearing someone call my name. My eyes widened in shock seeing Bryan standing behind me. I stood up and tried to run, he was never supposed to see my true form. I never liked to fly, it meant I was more likely to be seen. He grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

"Bryan, let me go!" Tears started to well up in my eyes as I yelled at him. He looked shocked, like he had seen a ghost. "Please Bryan. You weren't supposed to see me like this!" I tried to pull out of his grip but failed. "Bryan please!" I was starting to panic, I can't let him see me like this.

"What are you?" He stared shocked and glanced at my wings before looking at my eye. I only looked away and a single red tear fell from my eye. Remembering what happened last time a human saw me in this form I touched the scar by my left eye. "Angelica..."

"You're not supposed to see me like this." I whispered and started to feel weak, I was about to collapse but Bryan held me up. "No, you have to leave. I can't be seen like this." He's a human and I'm an angel, this should have never happened. We never should've happened.

He slowly let go of me as I turned away and ran before collapsing again. I started to cry, Why did he come after me? Seeing someone kneel in front of me I looked up and gasped then backed away.
