Lia Valentine~

I swear I could see Matt at the train station , but I know it's just my schizophrenia messing with my brain. I breathed in a deep breath in hope of calming down.

There is no way that was matt , matt is supposed to be in the hospital. Plus he's probably not even worried about me.

"are you Okay?" A little girls voice asked. I looked down in confusion at the girl who seemed about 5 years old. I nodded my head knowing I can't share my dark thoughts with a little girl.

"I'm fine." I lied and turned away.

"You sure?" She asked again. I nodded my head and hoped for her to return to her mother but when I saw her sit down alone I was immediately confused.

I got up to sit next to her with a sigh. She turned to me with a smile. "Where's your mommy?" I asked. The little girl looked up at me with her sad big brown eyes. They kind of reminded me of Melanie's eyes.

"She died when I was 4. I'm 5 now." She simply said , but I could sense her pain. I gasped and shook my head. "Then why are you all alone on a train?" I asked concerned. She looked down at her bruised arms and rubbed them before fixing her dirty blonde pig tails.

"Daddy always hits me , so I took some money and ran here." She was now crying.

My heart shattered for the little girl who is now an orphan. I thought for a second when an idea popped in my head.

"you could be her mommy." Melanie voice rang through my ears. I looked up for her and saw her sitting across from me on the bus. Her wings were perked high as usual.

Maybe. No , I can't. I'm 17.

"Would you rather let the poor little girl die?" Melanie asked , obviously frustrated with my stubbornness.

"Why don't you come with me?" I blurted out. She looked at me with those big brown eyes and immediately rapped me in a hug. She's adorable to say the least.

When we pulled apart she was smiling wide. "My names Chloe." .

"Glad you decided to go with my decision on this one." Melanie smiled before disappearing into thin air. I hate when she does that , it always makes me feel so insane.

Who could ever imagine a girl with angel wings and then see her just disappear? I'm sure it's only me.

"My name is Lia Valentine." I said and gave the cute little girl a hug.

"If your my new mommy , than do I have a daddy?" She asked in a hopeful yet tired voice.

My heart stopped as I thought of matt. How could I leave him? I love him more than anything. I don't want him to get hurt. I wish I could listen to my selfish heart but my kind hearted yet mad brain is telling me otherwise.

Maybe someday I would run into him or he would find me , who knows?

"Not right now , but maybe someday." I said as I held myself back from, breaking into tears.

I miss him.

I miss him.

I knew I was going to miss him until the day I die. I would never find a girl but I would see him on social media with a girl soon. She will be beautiful , better than me.

I looked down to see Chloe fast asleep on a 'princess Sofia' pillow that she must've brought with her. Her eyes were shut and her feet laid on the bus seat.

I soon followed her actions by falling asleep too.

~~~ skip rest of two day train ride~~~~

"Finally." I let out a deep breath as I came in contact with the cold October air. Boston is a lot different than Cali. Chloe held on my hand as we dragged our suite cases through the train station.
