Angel

Chapter Three

The air flies past us as we fall, fall and fall until we hit the cool water. We bob up to the top. The water is cold and refreshing. All the crap with my family is soon forgotten when we start splashing each other and just having fun. We stay there for hours until Daniel says it's late and he should make sure I get home safely. He walks me to the edge of the forest where it meets my backyard.

 "I'm not ready to go back in there." I say my face falling the sadness taking over again. I don't want to face them yet. "Thank you" I whisper.

 "Darling do not be sad. We shall meet again. How about tomorrow? Around noon?" He says while turning my head so I look him in the eyes. I give a small smile. His face lights up a smile spread from ear to ear and I see dimples. Oh my gawd he has dimples and the cutest smile ever!! My tummy feels funny like little bubbles inside moving around. I hate to break it to him that I can't go 'cause Jenny is making me go shopping with her.

 "Well umm I actually can't." His smile fades. "Atleast not at that time. I have to go to the mall with a friend so she can pick a dress out for some stupid dance." I say not wanting him to be sad for some reason.

 "Are you going to this dance?" His eyes sparkle with curiosity.

 "Well I really don't want to but they're kinda making me. So I guess yea I am." Ugh now I'm going to have to admit to a guy I just met that I don't have a date.

 "You do not seem happy about going? Is your boyfriend not treating you well?" Daniel asks if he only knew I didn't even have a boyfriend.

 "I just don't wanna go. Anyways how about 5-ish? I'll meet you at the tree house." I say trying to change the subject. It worked. He nods says "As you wish" kisses my hand again turns and walks away. Leaving me alone. Which forces me to have to go inside.

 I walk in the house through the kitchen to get a bite to eat before going up to my room but as soon as I walk threw the door my mothers voice cuts the silence.

 "Cecelia where the hell have you been? You scared me. You've been gone for hours!"

 "What does it matter to you? You never cared before! I don't want to hear your lies anymore. I don't want to move. My life is here. Mom I just can't leave, my friends are all I have. I'm already enough of a loser I don't want to be the new kid." I say my voice breaking at the end.

 "Sweety lets go get some icecream ok?" She puts her hand on my shoulder I nod. Icecream sounds good. I rush upstairs to change come back down she grabs her purse we get in her car and head to Cold Stone. Our mother duaghter spot. We get our usual. Me Cookie Dough and her Mint Vanilla. When we sit she finally begins talking.

 "What I'm about to tell you is the complete truth ok. No more lies. The Others which are the bad angels are looking for you. They want to kill you. There is a war between the good and bad angels. Your father is an angel he's one of the good ones. We have done everything we could to make you happy.  We knew some day the time would come when you needed to fulfill your destiny. Your name says it all. When we get home you should look it up it will explain things a little bit more."

 "What I don't get is how am I suppose to be part angel. I don't have wings or a halo. Wait dad didn't have one of those. Do angels even have halos? I.. I.. I just can't be part angel. I'm not pretty I don't even look the part! There's just no way." I say frustrated. There's just so way I can be part angel I don't have wings I don't have any angel traits. Wait are there angel traits?" Everything seems to come out in a rush. 

 "Oh you are beautiful, angels are always beautiful. With just your looks alone you could have any human boy you wish. As for the other things they will come. No angels do not have halos. That is a myth. What would a halo do for an angel? There is just no use." She says laughing. "If I could have any guy then why don't I have a boyfriend? Hmmm because I'm not part angel." I just don't see why they have to keep going on and on with this stuff. I refuse to believe it. I don't even believe in heaven. My mother just looks at me grinning like there's something I don't get. Which I don't get allot but I'm not telling her that. We finished our icecream and head home.
