The Eighth Day; Reoccurances

"So, it was your heart that failed on you?"  

Was all that he got out of what I had just said.

"Uh... Yeah."

"Tell me about it. You said you would."

Clever boy.

I sighed, "Can we sit down somewhere?" I said as we walked out of the pool towards a bus stop chair.

He nodded, placing a firm grip around my arm, dragging me to where I, also, was beelining towards.

I sighed, yet again,  

before I started to talk.

"It was summer, this year, not even four months ago, I was waiting at a bustop just like this, only it was in the city."

He just nodded, frowning sympathetically.

"I... I was auditioning for... For t-the X-Factor. T-the same time as you. That's where we would have met, if I w-were to be still alive."

His frown turned into a smile, he placed his arm around the seat, touching the other side of my shoulder slightly.

It calmed me down.  

How wouldh've thought angels could be nervous?

"All I ever wanted to do was sing. It's all I ever did. Honestly. I left school, being granted an apprenticeship as a hair dresser."

I fondled at my fringe.  

He laughed slightly as I shrugged at my hideous work, my awful hair.

"It's not that bad, your hair makes you Rhia, I couldn't imagine you with another hairstyle." He laughed.

I just smirked, before continuing.

"I managed to stay there for a while, well, half a year, anyway. And then I got kicked out for making out with one of the restaurant's waiters from across the road." I giggled at my memories.

He laughed at me, "Why would you get kicked out for that?!"

I laughed with him, "Because, because they got better business than us!" I burst out laughed yet again, as he laughed too.

This was going better than I thought.

"What did you do after that?!" He sounded so interested.

"I sat at home eating spaghetti shapes and drinking chocolate milk, lying in front of the T.V watching movies all day!" I giggled.

We just kept laughing, I don't know why it was so funny, yet we were still dying of laughter.

"And, and then I decided I should try get back into school, b-but, they wouldn't let me. They said I was, was a troublesome student anyway." We continued the rest of our chuckles before they died down again.

"So then I travelled a bit, for about the rest of the year using the money I'd gotten from my apprenticeship, travelling back and fourth, from home to different places and then back again. And then I realised all I really wanted to do was sing. So I filled out the X-Factor form and moved to Sydney, leaving everyone in Melbourne behind. But before I could even audition, before I'd even bought a house, or anything, I was struck with a heart attack and died at the scene. Next thing I knew I was being raised up to Heaven and got the job as a guardian angel, and found out everything about you before being given certain 'angelic powers' and being dropped to damn miserable Earth again." I tried to laugh with it, but saying it all out loud made it sound worse.

Jayden looked at me, his laughter now non-existent.  

He was just frowning at me, trying to figure out what to say, trying to not be disrespectful, trying to tell me something, but some weird force was hiding it.
