Chapter 8 I Love You
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory
-Dr Seuss
Gabriel's Pov
Myra...her innocent face kept playing in my head endlessly. I gulped the second last sleeping pill slowly. Two days, it had been two days without her and I had almost finished two bottles of sleeping pills. I was wrong the whole damn time, I was nothing without her, without her smile, without those big blue eyes waking me up everyday and serving me with burnt scrambled eggs.
She was my only hope in this world of mortals who were once upon a time complete strangers to me but their love made me stay, let me live. I was a failure when I came to this world, a bruised warrior, unaccepted waiting for acceptance in another dimension. There, Myra stood as a ray of hope for me and yet again I proved to be a failure. I failed to protect my love let alone the whole universe. The thoughts of her made me feel angry at me, useless, I slammed my fist hard on the table and just like my heart the glass shattered into thousands of pieces.
''No...I couldn't lose hope right now. I was supposed to look for her, find her and never let her go.''
Hastily I picked up my coat, the fragrance of her perfume still lingered in my nose, I missed the sight of her. Without wasting anymore time I began my mission of finding her. My heart was beating rapidly just like the lovesick teenage boys in chic-flicks Myra and I used to see, the thoughts of her making my lips twitch into a smile. ''I will find you,'' I promised myself this time. I locked the door and got into my car. The whole drive to Myra's favorite restaurant was like a torture without her ranting endlessly.
”Beep, beep,” came in a text. I quickly took out my phone to see it was from Alex.
Alex: Any news about Myra?
Briel: Not been lucky enough till now...searching
Alex: Okay. I will call Amanda ASAP
I kept down the phone in disappointment, two days there was still no news about her. All of this was my fault, what did I expect to happen?
''Azazel I won't leave you alive,'' I grunted in anger clenching my fists on the steering wheel. In the meanwhile I came to a halt thinking it would be a good idea if I just went for a walk. I opened the car door, the cold biting my hands and placed my feet on the slippery icy floor. I got inside, the heated environment, the heat seemed to be welcoming me but everything felt so empty without her. Where could she be in this biting cold all alone, this question kept repeating in my mind bothering me.
''Was Myra here? The girl in the picture.'' I asked the bartender showing him Myra's 17th birthday picture. 3rd December, the memories of that special day dancing like the wind in my head. The day I shared my first kiss with her, the day she said the three magical words to me which my ears were strange too, but what did I do? Hurt her instead, give her pain, lie to her. I had made up my mind on telling her the full truth which she wasn't fully aware off, I was now going to tell her how I felt about her if only I found her safe and sound. “I surely would,” said my heart giving me encouragement.
''No,'' said the bartender serving the drinks to the last table.
''Huh?'' I asked him drowned in Myra's thoughts.
''No I haven't seen her buddy,'' he said shaking his head.
''Oh here...call me on this number if you see her anywhere,'' I said to him in an utmost whisper giving him a few dollars. He simply nodded keeping them safely in his pocket.
I rushed out of the restaurant, my mission currently my main focus. Myra's phone ringing in my pocket, I picked it up hoping it to be her but it was Amanda. I explained her the current situation about Myra running away after us having a fight, quite strangely she did not contact her friends for weeks. Knowing the kind of person she is, she would at least call them hundred times a day but she had been running low for the past few months, and I was the solely one responsible for it. That moment burning my heart.
''I love you more than anything in this universe. I readily offer you my heart and soul with all my life. I love you more than all the stars, I love you more than all the water in the ocean, I love you more than the moon loves the sun and I will keep loving you infinitely till this universe came to an end, for eternity even when death do us apart. Do you love me too?''
''Shh, you are drunk and it's time to sleep,'' I said placing my hand gently on her forehead.
''No...answer me,'' she said tugging the edge of my sleeve. Her blue eyes bore into my green ones. I could feel her look through my soul, her eyes the prettiest one’s I had ever seen. I would never dare to make them cry, with every minute passing by I could feel my impulse increase but her eyes would never leave mine.
Then one of the best moments took place her tender lips slammed into mine, for the sweet taste of them, the temptation kept bubbling inside me and then I could no longer resist . I kissed her back with full passion, breath exchanging in our mouths limitlessly and I could feel the edges of her mouth turn into a smile. But then the image of my golden white wings flashed into my head, I stopped and pulled back pushing her aside.
''No. I am so sorry but I can't,'' I said rushing back, her face looked vulnerable. At that moment I wanted to stay, do what my heart said to me but I couldn't because my judgement said that it was wrong.
How could I possibly let her love me when she knew nothing about me? Nothing about my past, she did not even know my name leave aside me being an angel. How could I let her love a thrown out to a reject and a liar like me? She deserved someone much better, someone with a much clearer and better future ahead... and that was the first time she tried self harm.
''Ahhh,'' groaned someone in agony while I stopped the car, I was so lost in thoughts that I was driving at the speed of 180 almost killing a pedestrian.
''I am sooo sorry! I was kinda lost,'' I said to him, his hands shivering. I immediately pulled him inside the car and drove him speedily to the nearest hospital where I took Myra for her recovery, blood oozing out from his knee. I was happy that I did not kill him knowing how important the role of death was...thinking about death would always remind me of Grim.
''Sit down I will take him to ward number 8,'' said the nurse while I stared at the hospital beds.
''Since how long has she been dead?'' asked someone his voice audible to me.
''More than a week....her body has been frozen in the cold snow,'' said another voice.
I turned my head to see, someone laying on the stretcher her blonde curls caught my attention. Was that Myra? It couldn't be.
