Nobody's Angel

Chapter 1

Hi, I'm Angelica, Angelica Wyers, I'm currently seventeen, going to be eighteen soon starting tomorrow, I was born on April 21st in 1996 and I lived in New Jersey all my life in an orphanage, so that practically sums up my whole life, I was quite alright by myself at first while growing up, but then I met her, Courtney Hayes, the one that made me feel so happy, she became my best Friend and we became inseparable, and my only adult in my life is Mrs. Hannah Tatum, I am glad to have both of them in my life, and I felt like I didn't need a family cause all my life all I wanted was to be by Courtney's side, she even has awesome parents, her mom Nicole is a Lawyer and her Father Geoffrey is a sheriff so she is also quite rich, she had a lot of things in life, but it made me feel so special to see that none of that mattered to her, I met her in Kindergarten when she moved to New Jersey, she was Eight at the time and now she is sixteen and she was born in May and I was like her protector ever sense we were little, all the times we played with other kids and teased the older ones, running away laughing, it was good times, now my life is taking another turn for I am about move out of the orphanage behind. I was packing all my stuff from my orphanage room, with all my clothes and items, it still looks full of the bed I slept in and the bedside table, many memories played out in my head, and I smiled. I walk down to Mrs. Tatum's office to say goodbye, as I was about to knock when out came a woman with one of the younger boys with her smiling happily, " Angelica, my you certainly did grow, where did time pass by?" I turned around to see Mrs. Tatum; her Blonde hair curled at the ends as her smile as bright as ever, I walked up to her as I went to hug her, " I'm going to miss you..." I mumbled, " Now don't go all soft on me now, keep living your life Angelica, remember you are always free to visit" Mrs. Tatum reassured smiling down at me, " You still have a quite a few things to pack up, right? Take a break; I received a call from Courtney. She said she'll be coming over to help you" I smiled at the thought of seeing her soon, " Yeah there is still quite a few stuff, plus I need to find groceries that I'll most likely need for my apartment, so I'll be leaving soon" she nodded in understanding " Ok I'll take care of things here. The movers will be coming shortly as well-" Mrs. Tatum was then interrupted by a crash and child screams, Mrs. Tatum then sighed as I grinned up at her, " This might turn into a madhouse when you leave, I'll be back Angelica, be safe ok?" She then walked out to find the chaos, I then looked around her office as I touched her desk, a lot of funny memories played out in this room as well, such as times where I got into trouble by punching another girl for the first time for bullying Courtney, Mrs. Tatum was happy that I did so. However, she still gave me work to do for punching her, which was worth it, " Hey Angelica!"  I then turned around and saw Courtney as I smiled widely, her short brown hair brushed to the side as she wore black and white attire, " Mrs. Tatum said you were getting groceries, need any help?" She asked I shook my head, " Oh no I'll be fine, it's just for when I move into my apartment, so it should be very little but enough for me to survive" I explained as I put on my jacket and gathered my things, " It won't take long, Mrs. Tatum said that the movers would get here shortly they'll get the heavy stuff for us, so I'll be back, see you later ok?" " Sure thing, I'll go ahead and fold the blankets for you" Courtney smiled, which lighted up the room, man what will I do without her? I was in Wal-Mart done with my grocery shopping, yet I felt weird, maybe because I was older and moving out? Possibly, I just had an eerie feeling as I walked out of there with the bags, I didn't have a car, so I went into the subway tunnels to get to the orphanage, yet the minute I stepped onto the subway train I felt sore on my back, " What the heck, how did that happen?" I whispered to myself, I sat down with my bags listening to my music, trying to ignore the growing pain on my back. I leaned my head back, looking up at the train ceiling. I sighed, I then noticed someone was staring at me, he had dark hair with a hat on before I even got to examine the man closer, the lights flickered. The strange man disappeared, I rubbed my eyes, I was probably feeling irritated, but the pain on my back was not giving me a break at all, at least I finally got to my destination. As I walked on the sidewalk I noticed a lot of cop cars passing by along with a fire truck, whatever happened it must've been serious, the pain on my back was growing bigger and I felt more anxious, what was happening to me? I seemed to walk slower with my bags; the cause was most likely because of my back, it was so heavy and sore, I then heard screams I looked up ahead to see where the cops were investigating, my eyes widened in fright, it must've been a mistake...Why was the Orphanage on fire?! I dropped my bags in pain as I kneeled on the concrete sidewalk, this can't be happening! Where were the children? The movers? Mrs. Tatum, what's worse... Where's Courtney?! I cried in pain as I couldn't take the pain anymore, something in me snaps and grew, I opened my eyes panting as I looked at the ground, there was a huge shadow above me, I slowly looked up to see white feathers spread out at least 4 feet across, my back was lighter now, what are these, I heard a gasp as I looked up to see a woman staring at me in shock, I was about to ask what was wrong when I felt the feathers taking me off into the air, " What the Hell?!" I screamed as I soared high, I felt my back muscles contracted, my eyes widened as I processed what just happened, I looked behind me once more as I examined the feathers, they were real, just what is this? do I have Wings?? I looked down and saw the orphanage in ember flames from above, was this happening?!? I must be going crazy, I wish that were the case, but then I dropped as I felt my back muscles contracted again. I fell into my spot again in a standing position, wondering how the hell I didn't break my legs, but it didn't matter when joy filled me, out came Mrs. Tatum in the hospital car, " Mrs. Tatum!!" I ran to her, pushing others out of the way, coming onto the car getting many stares," Mrs. Tatum! Please be ok!" I exclaimed, hugging her tightly, " Miss, you can't be here, please exit yourself out." One of the nurses said, " But-" " Angelica-" I look back at Mrs. Tatum, she motioned me to come closer and whispered in my ear, " The Angels will shine once more soon, come to the hospital, and I'll tell you all you need to know."
