~Angelic Eyes~ 《Re-writing》

*Calum's P.O.V.* 

"I'm your guardian angel." She said this while looking into my eyes.

"Lilith. Why are you lying to me?" This was it. She told me she's my "guardian angel" and wanted me to believe her. That is not how things work. You can\t just lie to me like that and get away with it.

Angels can't be visible for humans, can they? I'm definitely not doubting their existence. But is she really one?

"Calum...please believe me. I'm saying the truth."

Bullshit.

How could I believe her.

"Look. I can prove it." She said with hope in her voice.

"Okay. Go ahead." I say as I sigh. This conversation can become either too creepy or a miracle.

"Two years ago. It was a rainy evening and you were home alone. Your grandma died so you were crying..." She started. I frowned remembering my grandma.

She was always there for me. That day, when I found out she was dead, I felt knocked down. She was my everything.

*Lilith's P.O.V.*

"And why is this a perfect example?" He asked me looking away in the thought of remembering that evening. I didn't want to hurt his emotions but this was the only way of proving and winning his trust.

"Because, see, you were crying and from all of a sudden you felt comforted and you calmed down. Is it so?" I asked and rose an eyebrow, waiting for an answer.

"Y-yes." He stuttered from  still not sure on where my point was. I know this event is hurting him. I can see it. But I need to talk about this with him.

"The point is." I said making him look at me. "I was there. I was the one who comforted you. I was the girl who comforted you in your dreams. You saw me in every which one of your dreams." His jaw dropped from remembering that girl. That girl with bright eyes, dark hair, it was me...

"Lilith...You are the mysterious girl from my dreams?" He seemed to freak out.

"Yes. But please calm down. Don't freak out. And especially don't tell to anyone about this please or I'll need to go home and we'll never see each other again." I begged him with sadness in my voice.

"...so...you saw me in every situation?" He asked embarrassed. I giggled.

He did it again, he made me laugh when I felt sad. And he didn't even realize it.

"Yes, I even slept next to you." He rose his eyebrows. I blushed slightly. Okay Lilith, maybe this wasn't a good thing to tell him.

"The night I felt alone and wished to have someone next to me?" He asked. I nod shyly.

He hugs me all of a sudden. I needed a few seconds to process what just happened then I hugged him back. He was hugging me tightly and I could feel it in his warm embrace that he tried to thank me for all the things I did for him. I smiled, liking the attention he gave me and at the thought of being this close to him.

"And how is that, that you aren't invisible anymore?" Good question Calum...

"When I saved you from that car. I touched you and so I became visible." I told him although I wasn't sure about it. But that's a mistake I did.

What if he likes me? That is impossible. That can't happen. Because then I'll need to go home soon.

"Just for me?" He seemed curious. Maybe he was thinking that people will look at him as a crazy person because they won't see me so he will practically talk/laugh alone like a psychopath.

"No. Everyone can see me. I practically became human. Until I go... home." I explained and Calum frowned.

I'm glad he is asking questions, because I wouldn't be able to talk about this all by myself. He helped me out with this.

"Home?" He asked me pointing at the ceiling. He looked so innocent, almost like a little kid talking about the fairy tales his mom read to him before he went to sleep. I need to admit, I liked that, but now wasn't the time to admire Calum's innocence.

"Home." I nod my head slowly while looking him in the eyes. Why was he sad?

A slight frown still remained on his face and his dark eyes were full of sadness, the corners of his mouth, that were usually curled up because of the smile Calum always wore on his face, were now curling downwards, bringing even more sadness to his expression.

I looked out of the window. I bet it's like 12pm or even more late. Calum needs to get some rest. He had enough events happening to him today, practically, I turned his whole life around. I should make it up for him.

"You should go to sleep." I said while still looking out of the window not being able to look him in the eyes because of the guilty I was feeling.

"You should get some rest too." He told me.

"I'll be okay here on the couch. Now go to sleep, please." The truth was, I needed Calum to go to sleep so i could be alone for a split moment, I needed some time to myself so I could think it all through.

"Only if you sleep with me." He said biting his lip. Sweet baby Jesus, why does he have to make me feel this way...

My cheeks turned a pale shade of red as I was thinking about what to say. I want to. But I shouldn't do it.

Wait.

Why shouldn't I do it, Lilith...you've done this a few other times, now it's the same way... Yeah, I mean the only thing is that he will be aware that I'm next to him and he will see me, hear me and mostly, feel me. Maybe that is why I'm afraid of this.

I finally decide... I nod slowly and he leads me to his bedroom.

The last thing I remember is me laying next to Calum and watching as he sleeps. He then pulls me into his arms and I fall asleep too.
