My Guardian Angel

Seán's pov:
"Do you always stay cooped up inside"? Mark questioned when he saw me on my phone.

"Yeah I mean don't get me wrong I love the outdoors but now i'm not in the mood".

"I can't accept that. You need to breathe REAL air".

Again Mark was being a practical mother.

I furrowed a brow. "Mothering".

"I don't mean to pressure you. Just a recommendation".

"I don't mean to sound rude, but you can't always be attached to me like that".

"I can respect that".

"But Seán"?

Mark blinked and lowered his face near mine and closed in.

"If i'll be here I want more knowledge about today's world. I died before I could go into college. It's been so long since i've been here".

"Ok back up there buddy. And i'll show you thing's to get you familiarise".

"Thank you".

"Ok. Here". I held out my phone.

"A phone"?

"Yes Mark. But it's more 'futuristic' in a way". It's been out before you died I believe but this is the lastest model".

"Want a look"?

Mark took the device and begun pressing different app's. He pressed my instagram and looked up at me.

"Something wrong"? I felt my face heating up.

"This is a nice photo".

It was me when I brought a new camera with insane quality and decided to test it with a picture.

"Your eye's look so different but it's a good difference". Mark scanned up and down at the screen. Mark swipped his finger fast. And I clenched the sofa tightly as he got farther down.

"I like you with full brown hair". Mark had scrolled down to the depths of hell that contained cringe worthy picture's.

"Thanks...".

"Mark let's look at other thing's".

"Your eye's stand out in so many photo's".

"Thanks".

"Is there other things here I should be familiar with"?

"Well there's Snapchat, Twitter, Tumblr... When did Twitter come out"? I organized my thoughts.

"No. I mean the real world. It's more important for me to be more knowledgeable about".

"That's gonna take some time for you to get a gist of it".

"I have time".

"Well let's start with anything outside".

Mark's pov:
"I live out in the middle of no where kinda of...".

"I've noticed".

Seán tried to muffle a small giggle.

"What did I say"?

"Well. Now that you've started living here, you've opened up more smartass". Seán's snorted.

"It's just scary to be here. In world I left and came back to. I should be who I was but up there I missed so many thing's. My family was down there. Alive. I was up there. Dead. I couldn't find any of my relative's I was frightened and alone. Soon as you know it my cheerful life went down into a depressing one".

"You know. Mark I think YOU'RE the one who needs help. You've got it worse than me". Seán's aura was thickening in a hazy gray color.

What was wrong with him?

"You came here to help me. But i'm helping you. It's strange".

"I've lost the one I thought I could have but she slipped away like that. I can't sleep without the comfort. I need someone... alive. Someone that makes me alive. But she was my life". Sean's eye's thickened with gray and tears builded up and poured down. He was sobbing uncontrollably and huddling his knees together burying his face down.

"It's nice to finally have some 'life' in this house again. I hate to be living alone". Seán's cries were loud but muffled.

Except I wasn't really alive.

"I need your help. But maybe you shouldn't. I'm here for a purpose. To protect and heal you".

"I want to help you Mark". Seán's looked up with his eye's puffy red and dry tear marks.

"Well Seán not everyone gets what they want. I know I didn't".
