The Reason Why We Look Up To The Sky

Tears and smoke

"Come up here and sit beside me. Maybe you can talk and I won't say anything?" Lilia apperates next to him and sighs. "I don't know what you are doing to me, I never learned about these feelings. Do you know Cupido? We were thought that this feeling called love feels like, like the first summer day, like the sunlight on your skin, like receiving a present and that mortals mostly blush when they see someone they 'love'. And yesterday when I came down here, I felt warmth just like Cupido said.." "Oh?" David pauses as he parks the car and turns it off before realization hits. "Oh," he whispers. "I'm sorry David." She sniffs and looks away. "Oh, don't be sorry, Lilia. I think it will just pass. I mean, there are much better looking people than me and shouldn't angels be with angels? I'm sorry that it has to be this way. How many people have you watched over again?" He turns to look in the direction of her voice. "Angels aren't supposed to feel 'love' and 1, only you." She looks down as the salt tears drip down on her knees.

"I'm sorry, dear." He reaches over for a tissue from the glove box and holds it out for her. "Well that explains it, just a little bit of an infatuation because you haven't lived with someone yet. It'll pass. Take it from someone who knows and experienced love. It all passes." Lilia slaps the tissue out of his hand and cups both his cheeks with her hands. "It will not pass! And I don't want it to pass!" Her heartbeat fastens and with every beat, she gets visible for a second. Not only her wings, not only her sillhouette, all of her. Lilia rubs his cheekbones with her thumbs as she looks up at him, white strands of hair falling in front of her face as she does so. "Wow," he whispers. David watches and is absolutely mesmerized as he looks to her. "But what about the others?" "I don't care about them. This is so wrong yet it feels heavenly." Lilia smiles with a slight frown as she tilts her head. "Can you feel me?" "I...I can see you too," he whispers. "You need to stop or you'll get in trouble again and I want you to stay." "I don't want to stop, David. I really don't. W..What do you think of me?" Her hands travel down and stop at his shoulders where she holds on tighter. "I think you're very sweet and.... and very beautiful but th....this is probably wrong. I like it but you could get in trouble and then I won't be able to talk to you again." He swallows hard as he looks to her, his breathing much heavier. "David," Lilia whispers as she leans forwards to him. "I thi-" white smoke starts to drifts around her and slowly crawls up before hearing a cry. The smoke dissapears and the passengers seat is empty.

Lilia was back up in the clouds, her body hits the cold marble floor and all she could see was black shadows surrounding her. This time it was Michael there to judge her. He watches her closely before sheathing his sword into his belt. "Lilia," he orders in his gruff voice, unintentionally scaring the girl. "Gabriel and Saint Peter have asked me to pass judgement on you. Please stand and tell me what you did, in your eyes." She slowly stands and looks up at him. "I..I spoke to my person and showed myself, b..because..I'm in love with him." Lilia whispers as she starts to breathe heavily. Michael sighs as he removes his curls from his eyes and towers above her as he moves closer. "You fell in love within two days? You're sure you wish to risk yourself for him? I haven't heard of an angel actually loving to that extent, in that sense, since Earth was created."

"Dont blame me! I can't help who I fall in love with, Cupido said it himself!" She yells rather harshly as her eyes bawl. He hushes her as he wraps an arm around her shoulders. "Child, do not cry. I understand what you are saying. I was there when the words were spoken. I'm sorry to see such an innocent girl as yourself go. I will tell the others of my decision because I do not see malicious or intentional actions in your heart as I did with my brother and others before you. You did what you had to because you've felt something no angel has felt in centuries." Lilia growls and pushes him off of her. "I don't want this! For over 50 years I have done everything you said, they said I could be free but I'm not! I feel this connection between him and me, I showed myself, I talked to him and yes; yes I have kissed him!" Lilia's cheeks blush with anger as she sees a horde of angels gather together to see the spunky young angel.
