Angel

Chapter 14

Keith was just grocery shopping when a call came.

"Hello?" He spoke quietly.

"Hello? It's Nathan. I think Angel is having a panic attack." Keith cut the call, having a strange fear in his mind.

The door was open when Keith came and he immediately ran in. He shouted for her, as he placed the groceries on the counter and searched for her. He ran into the bedroom and saw her curled up into a ball freezing and shaking. He stuck his hand into the near drawer and took out her pills.

He picked her up and sat her sitting up against the wall. He forced the pills into her palm, "Angel?" she didn't respond, "Angel, please? Take the pills." She opened her eyes, but they were slightly glossed over. He knew she couldn't move much, so he took the pills out of her palm and placed them in her mouth.

He looked over his shoulder to ask Nathan for some water, but he already had some. Keith nodded to thank him and he returned his focus to Angel. He unscrews the top and opened her mouth so she could drink. He put the bottle to her lips and pushed it up allowing a sip of water into her mouth. She gulped and she began shaking less.

He shrugged his jacket off and placed it around her shoulders.
He picked her up bridal style and moved her to the bed. He then lay beside her moving her hair out of her face and placed his palm on her cheek. He kissed her forehead and then removed his palm from her cheek thinking why she was so panicking.

"What happened?" Keith asked Nathan getting out of the room.

He cringed, "I just came and she was already trying to break the door off, and then started shaking all over; that's what happened."

"Well, it wasn't just a reason to go into a panic attack-"

The bedroom door slammed open and there stood a heavy breathing Angel. She glared at Keith and said in a voice that he had never heard out of her.

"Why did you kidnap me, you psycho?!"

*****

Keith couldn't look at Angel at all. It was awkward. She was pacing and sighing and even sometimes cursing loudly. She shook her head and then slumped next to Keith.

"I don't understand. How can I be this naive?" Only if Keith had the answer.

"Are you alright? Does your head hurt?" Keith asked instead ignoring Angel's slight glare.

"I'm fine but I need to...Oh god! There's too much had happened!" She panicked.

"Yes...do you even remember what happened between your memory losses?" Keith asked looking at her face. The doctor came and assured them that Angel has regained her lost memory. For a few days, he had his suspicions but he never thought it'll be this soon. Especially just yesterday when she said she loved him.

At his question Angel's face lightened. "Unfortunately yes. My parents...they are dead because of me. If I hadn't..." She trailed off unsure if Keith wanted to hear or not.

Keith encouraged her when she started to speak again, "My name is Fiona Myer. I'm an artist. I basically do natural art projects and that was the reason for coming here. I don't have any siblings, I thought on this trip I'll take my parents too and then this...Nobody in Landon knew where I was going. That does explain why there's still no missing report on me. I disappear like this sometimes so my friends might've thought..." She blushed when she noticed Keith looking at her longingly. 

"Thanks though for taking care of me." She finished.

He nodded smiling. She smiled back but then she spoke quietly, "Keith, there's something I want to...tell you."

Keith passed an assuring smile but she bit her lips, "I-I am going away from here. I need to finish my projects and I think now it's time to move on."

"What the hell are you saying, Fiona!?"  Even Keith jumped from his own statement.

"What I said yesterday doesn't change anything but I need to go. I want to finish my projects first, get rid of these overwhelming feelings I'm feeling and figure out if this really what's good for the both of us. I mean I live in Landon and you in California and you also need to give prior to your work. You've wasted your time on me. I want to be your strength, not weakness. I'm not ready for this now." Keith sighed at her words. He did promise he'd let her go but...

Surprising himself Fiona kissed him for a brief second and he forgot what they were talking about. "I still love you but we both need a fresh start without lies." She spoke catching her breath.

Keith felt his eyebrows rise as he realized that she meant it. He glanced over at Nathan and saw him on the stool. His facial expressions said it all.

Time to let the Angel fly.
