My guardian angel

chapter 8

"FIRST ENCOUNTER"

Angel's POV

"No! Please someone save her! She's my child! Somebody help her!"

"Ma'am we can't save her.."

"No! Do anything! Everything! Just please,please save her! I'll-I'll pay you even if it cost big just please get her--"

"Ma'am it's dangerous--"

"She's helpless! She can't swim!"

I open my eyes and find the sun rising. I slowly rise and rub my eyes..  I always see that dream whenever it's my death day. It's always the same sequence.

A woman in a red dress was screaming as some men hold her from struggling. And I got this feeling that I was the kid underwater gasping for air.and I was staring above waiting that someone would save me. Till darkness covers.

Sometimes I think I died because I drown. Don't know where, Don't know how, don't know when...

I stood up and stretch my arms and legs. I look around and find the streets empty. Maybe it's 5 o'clock in the morning.. Humans would come out when it's 5:45 or 6.

My feet started walking around as I tie my hair into a messy bun. Some of my hair at the sides of my face.

Every morning a man in a bicycle would deliver some newspaper to some houses here. And his always wearing this wires in his ears. Shaking his head and sing some lyrics. I think a music came out of it.

He stop at a house with black colored gates: a two story house in a dirty white color with a wide garden on the left side and a playground containing seesaw, swing and a slide on the right side. and some flowers in and outside the gate. While a trail of pebbles leading to the door.

I find the house very elegant. And I heard the owners are business man and woman. And hey only have one child. And ever since I really want to live there.

I continue to walk feeling the wind as some sun rays peer from some trees. My eyes widen when I saw the park.. I love going here! Because they have a playground there! I run to the other side and enter the gate without hassle. It's lock but yet since I'm a ghost I just walk through it and I'm done!

The first thing I approach was the swing! I sat at the left side since it was a two side swing.  and rock my self back and forth to move. I was laughing as I reach higher and higher..

After that I tried the monkey bar and end up flat on my butt, next was the slide but since it was a kiddy slide my foot would reach the end in 1 second. I also played in the sand box but I discovered that a cat poop was there.

My little adventure ended when I felt a little tired so I sat down on one of the benches. I look up to find the sun fully awake. I rested my head on the bench tilt in on the right side and saw humans walking  in their usual attire or their usual routine.

A guy in a poloshirt with yellow and blue combination, open the gate. He was holding a broom and wearing a yellow cap.

After 2 hours of sitting and sun bathing. (As if I'll get tan) I stood up and head to the seesaw where parents forbid their children to play since it's kinda dangerous because the screws are slightly lose... One time there was a kid playing and suddenly the thing in the middle where it balance snap and it roll on the other side causing some parents to complain about the safety of their children. So it's kinda empty here.

I step my left foot to the part where you'll sit and started climbing up. I can feel the middle part rock sideways a little so I held both of my arms sideways as I balance my self. I was going reach the other side of the seesaw when I fell and landed lamely on the ground. I pat my elbow since it was kinda dusty and I was half way standing when a human in a black jacket stop in front of me and help me get up. He hold both of my elbows and pat my knees. He was wearing a black cap with a number 24 on it and a black sunglasses. It's like his very covered that the only thing you can see is his nose and lips. He was kinda tall since I was only up to his shoulders.

But wait, why was he touching me? I startled and back away immediately. Holding my wrist where he touch me like a jellyfish sting. My heart starts to race.

Could it be?

I stare back at him. He was smiling. I look around for people if they notice us or if people notice him looking stupid staring at me,staring blankly to the bushes behind me.

"Are you okay miss?" He spoke. His voice sound soft. For a guy his voice is kinda pitchy.
But he talk to me. He talk to me?! My eyes widen and I'm sure goosebumps are spreading from my shoulders to the back of my spine.

I'm so shock that I almost gape at him. Am I dreaming? Maybe I spend to much under the sun, maybe the time when I fell my dead brain was dislocate because of the impact. Yeah Im sure it's a trick.. I'm seeing things. A boy staring back at me, talking to me, asking me if I'm alright and *stare at his hand* asking me to shake his hand.

"Miss?" He said again. I jump back and hold my chest.

Okay I'm not dreaming.. I'm certainly not dreaming. I poke his left shoulder and  OH MY FREAKING GLOB I 'TOUCH' HIM! I can't believe I did!

he chuckled and remove his sunglasses. I gasp and covered my mouth. So all this time. I was right? Wha-what should I say? He probably thinks I'm a retard right now. He can't blame me! I was used that no one, like NO ONE can see me. I was used living my ghost life alone. Natalie didn't say that I would encounter this kind of event! I wasn't orient! My voice suddenly vanish and I think his getting piss off by my actions. If I was him I would probably shake or slap the girl in front of him and that's me. I close my eyes and breathe deep. Okay...here it goes.

"You can see me?" I ask. He chuckled again like it's the stupidest thing to ask. Well it is.

He nod as he smile and his dimple came out. It got me staring back at him. He laugh at me. A question look pop on my face. Why is he laughing?

"Yes, I can see you.. So can you stop staring at me? It's kinda creepy" he said I back away making him panic a little.

"No,no not that your creepy! Your actually beautiful uh, I mean um, pretty, what the heck am I saying? *he smack his forehead and that made me chuckle* there the same, pretty and beau-beautiful ugh! why am i stuttering? *he whispered that to his self* it's just that... Ugh, did I offend you?" He said. After arguing with himself. I shock my head to say no. In fact I'm holding the laughter that was trying to escape. He sigh and put both of his hands to his waist.

I inhale and find courage to talk to Darren since it's my first time talking to a human. I hope I do not stutter...

"What are you doing here? Ar-are you here for your mall tour?" I ask. Trying to sound normal. He smiled revealing his dimples again. Now I know why the darrenatics are falling deeply to this man.

"Honestly I'm on my way home now..." He said and scratch his head. Is he shy? Uh... He's cute. A small smile curved my lips.

"So.. Can I- can I know your name?" He ask. He was staring at the ground and he realize that I wasn't wearing any slippers.

"Why aren't you wearing any slippers? If you step on a sharp rock or wood you'll get your self hurt." He said and carried me to the bench I sat earlier. I was holding his neck for support and right now I'm staring at him. A slap from reality came to me.

What if he finds out that I'm not a human.. Or I'm not a human anymore? The smile vanish. The imagination is horrible... He lay me down and pat my feet with his bare hands. I stare at him for a long time. He was talking and yet I can't hear him. I was only staring at him.

I hope your the answer to my prayers Darren.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There! They met for the uh I-don't-know-how-many-times.. But for the first time they talk! Yehey! I was so excited that my typing was fast and I have to re-read it.

How was it? For me it's awkward. I remember when I met Darren for the first time he was smiling and all, he even say "hi"to me! But do you know what I said??!

Because of his so charming face I only said "hello" and that's it! I was so starstruck that I was staring at him for a long time. That I forgot how my face look and all.

So don't forget to vote! Or comment!

Always remember I love you chummys!
