I couldn't believe my eyes. Tyler was sitting on my bed, smiling.
"Hello, Salem!" Tyler exclaimed.
I rubbed my eyes. I told myself this was not real. It couldn't be. Tyler? Tyler died.
"Salem?" Tyler asked.
I fell to my knees. My mind was spinning. This just couldn't be true. I must have been dreaming. I began to feel the ground around me. I came to the realization that I was here, in my room, awake.
"Salem!" Tyler yelled.
My head snapped up. Our eyes met. I thought I'd never see those beautiful blue eyes ever again... but there they were.
"Tyler?" I asked.
"Yeah?" Tyler Asked.
I pulled myself off the ground and walked over to the bed. I slowly reached out to touch him. This would determine if I was losing my mind or not. I touched his shoulder. He was warm, and I could feel his energy radiate through the room.
"Tyler, you're alive!" I exclaimed, tackling him.
He laughed and held me there for a while.
"I thought you were dead! We all did! I need to call everyone, like Michael and your mom!" I shouted.
"Salem, Salem stop!" Tyler shouted back.
My eyes began to water. The room began to spin.
"Why?!" I said angrily.
"I'm not mortal anymore. I'm your new guardian angel." Tyler said smiling.
I couldn't process this information. The weight of the world fell onto my shoulders, as I fainted. I fell off the bed, and landed on the ground with a loud thump.
I woke up in Tyler's arms. I pulled myself off of him.
"This can't be real." I said.
"It's plenty real! I was sent on a mission to watch over you." Tyler said.
"Sent on a mission by who?" I asked.
"Come on. You know, the big man upstairs. I saw what was going on up there. He told me to help you out." Tyler said.
"Can anyone see you?" I asked.
"Just you, my dear." Tyler said.
I was skeptic Hoping I would wake up from this strange dream. Hoping Tyler would be alive and well tomorrow. I was overwhelmed by everything that had happened in the course of a day. I just wanted to sleep.
So I did. But it didn't change much.
