Angel without Wings (Bruno Mars Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5: Lies

Author's Note: I'm sorry that it took so long, I was kinda running out of inspiration, but I'm back now! Hope you like it. <3

Angelina's POV

I pushed Bruno away in a reflex when I heard the sound of the opening door. All the memories came back as I saw my tall ex, with his short brown messy hair and his little beard, standing there in the light of the corridor. My room was only filled with the little dimmed light of the lamp next to my bed. It was kinda romantic, but everything was ruined by Dan, as always. He always ruins everything. My feelings. Our relationship. My life. Just everything. The weird part is that I still get the warm feeling inside as soon as I see him.

You know, some memories fade away, but I always remember every single thing. I notice every little thing happening around me. I copy it in my system and never forget it again. It's like taking photo's and video's with my eyes. I still remember how we met, our first date and our first kiss. When you first hear it, it sounds like the perfect love story. We met each other in school, our last year. We became best friends. I've always had a crush on him, but I never told him, because I was afraid of ruining our friendship. After graduating, we traveled to Paris together. The first time he told me he loved me was underneath the Eiffel Tower. How romantic is that?

At first Bruno looked at me with a confused, rejected face, after I pushed him away. Then he followed my eyes and noticed Dan entering the room. "Daniel." he said calm. He got off of my bed and walked towards him. When he wanted to give him a handshake, but Daniel pushed Bruno aside and rushed his way to my bed. He hugged me, but I didn't hug him back. I didn't struggle either. I just watched Bruno, standing there, with that confused face again, still with his hand ready to handshake. I felt Daniel's warm breath in my neck.

"Are you okay babe?" He said as he faced me.

I looked away with an angry face. "I'm fine." As much as I wanted to kiss his lips, I didn't. I can't give him my trust again. I can't give him another chance. Daniel felt that something wasn't alright. He stood up and raised his eyebrows at Bruno. "And you are?"

"I'm sorry for not introducing myself." Bruno said with sarcasm in his voice, because of Daniel who ignored him earlier. "Bruno. Bruno Mars." He walked in Dan's direction and protruded his hand again, with a fake smile on his face. Daniel didn't seem to mind Bruno's sarcasm and shook his hand gently. "I'm Daniel, Angelina's boyfriend."

I was taking a sip of my water, but almost chocked after I heard Daniel saying I'm still his girlfriend. Before I could say something, the doctor entered the room. "Mr. Daniel Williams, will you follow me please?"

Bruno's POV

I was sitting next to Angelina's bed again, looking at her, waiting for an explanation for what the fuck just happened. After a while staring at her face - which was looking in another direction - I guessed I had to start the conversation. "So... first, you tell me that this Daniel guy definitely is your EX-boyfriend, and now he just walks in and randomly hugs you? I don't know about you, but I don't do that kind of things with my ex." 

"Bruno, please, I..." I saw her seeking for words that could explain her struggle. 

"What?" 

"I'll... I'll explain it later... but now, we just gotta be friendly towards Daniel, because otherwise we won't have anyone to donate the blood. And he is not my boyfriend anymore and I'm not his girlfriend anymore. And why do you even care so much? We are not, like, together..."

... Yeah, why do I care? She's not mine... I can't say she's mine... yet. Oh Bruno, just stop it. You just met her! You're not supposed to fall in love that quick... That shit takes time. 

"I... I don't know."

The next morning...

I'm standing in the elevator with a tray full of delicious food in my hands. I don't know why people always complain about hospital food. When I woke up today - still in the same chair next to Angelina's bed - I decided to get her breakfast out of the cafeteria on the first floor.

I tried to click on the button of the fourth floor with my elbow, which didn't work. I touched the sixth floor button instead. A blonde teenage girl that was standing next to me in the elevator giggled and pressed the 6th floor for me. "Thanks." I said.

"Hey, aren't you Bruno Mars?"

"You recognized me! Haha."

"Can I get a picture?"

"Of course." She took her iphone out of her purse and opened the inside camera. "Say 'breakfast'!"

I laughed. "Breakfaaast" After the sound of the taken picture she gave me a hug.

"By the way, you're in the newspapers!" She suddenly said.

"... Oh? Why?"

As soon as we arrived the third floor, she said "Oh, sorry, I gotta go! Thank you!" and left me in confusion.

"Wake up, Angel!" I said as I walked into the room. I heard Angelina moaning underneath her sheets. I giggled. "Breakfast is here!" She threw her sheets off of body. Her grumpy face lit up when she saw me standing next to her bed with the tray.  

"Aw, that's so sweet of you!" She pushed the 'up'-button of her bed, so she can sit instead of laying. 

"Well, I gotta make it up, after that accident of yesterday..." I said as I took a seat next to her on the bed and put the tray on her legs. 

"But it wasn't your fault..." I'm still blaming myself for everything that happened. I should've given that guy his money, maybe he would let her go earlier. I look at the stitches of the wound in her neck. It's gonna take a while to heal. I stroked it carefully. At first she smiled and held my hand as I was stroking her. Like a dark cloud that moved in front of the sun, she dropped her eyes and put my hand down on the bed. She bit her lip. You could tell there was something wrong. 

"What's up, sweetie?" I pushed her chin up with my finger. 

"Well..." She removed my hand from my face again. "After you fell asleep and the blood was given to me, Daniel came back. We had a fight.." She stopped for a second and looked me in the eyes. "We officially broke up." 

She had me in silence for a while. Did she lie to me? 

"... So you were still together?" 

"Yeah, that's what I thought, a few days ago. But apparently he was 'together' with someone else too." She bit her lip in hopes to fight back the tears in her eyes. I put the breakfast on the cupboard and hugged her tight.

Angelina's POV

I couldn't stop crying after Bruno hugged me. He was so kind. And we only just met. He tried to cheer me up by calling me beautiful and saying that it has nothing to do with me. That it is all Daniel's fault. But I can't help but blame myself. I bet I was a horrible girlfriend, because what else would make him go to another?

When Bruno fell asleep after I got my blood, they told me I should stay a night in the hospital to get some rest. I don't mind, I can stare to Bruno all night long in the dimmed light. He even looks cute when he's asleep. His cheek is getting squeezed because of his head leaning on his own shoulder. His arms are leaning on the armrests of the big leather chair. The fedora hat covered his face. Out of sudden, a familiar guy enters the room. 

"What... What are you still doing here? It's 2AM, I thought you already left..." 

He walks to my bed and sits down. "I... I came apologize." 

"Daniel, you know it's too late and-" He cuts me off by putting his finger on my lips, and before I knew it he was kissing me. He has soft, warm and familiar lips. Everything felt like it used to be, perfect. We didn't stop. We made out for a long time, with smiling and giggles in between. I played with hair and playfully pushed him away and back while holding his shirt. After a while I realized what I was doing. I stopped and whispered, while looking in his dark brown eyes: "You... you should leave now."  

He gave me one last quick kiss and left.
