“Ashes to Ashes, Dust to dust…” The Vicar’s voice seem to blur out at the sight of the wooden coffin lower into its grave.
Richie put his arm around my shoulder. A boy came around with a pot of mud, I got a pinch, not wanting to put to much in and released it on top of the coffin that has been laid into it’s place.
When people started to walk away, I sort of woke up. I flinched and the ceremony was over.
“Vicky-come on” Carl was holding my arm.
“Give us a minute will you” I couldn’t take my eyes off the coffin that laid 6 feet beneath my feet.
He gave a little smile and walked to catch up with the others.
“Well, you left to early, I had so much planned with you. You did everything for me and I didn’t have a chance to repay you for it” I looked up at the sky and there was no sight of any clouds, it was the perfect day. “I’m going to miss you, how will I cope with the rest of them with out you? I’m going to have to leave you. Love you” I blew a kiss at the grave and walked away.
I walked down the long path and saw 7 guys looking at me. They were my family, Richie, Carl, Michael, Graeme, Tony, George and Tom. And my two new family members Mark and Catraia.
“Are you ready?” Tom asked, he was pretty quiet, to be honest, I was surprised he was the first to talk.
I smiled at them and nodded.
“Ok, lets go, I think we should go to the place where we all spent a lot of time” Richie said wiping his eyes.
“Tim, can I have 8 pints and 2 cokes please” I looked around the pub and it seemed empty.
“Yeah and Vicky, I’m sorry for your loss” This man was always nice, I wondered why he worked in a place like this, to much trouble.
“Yeah” I looked down at the bar and couldn’t bring myself to look at anyone in the face.
“Here you go and you have one of those faces again, on the house darling” He smiled
“Thank you” I picked up the tray and took it over to the table, where there was a strange silence. “Here you are”
“Thanks” Everyone did that thing again when they just said the same at the same time.
“To bad Ryan couldn’t be here, when we need him most” Richie said
“I’m going to get some air” I got my self up
“You want me to come with you?” Richie said standing up with me
“No, it’s ok” I walked to the door and sat on the bench. I sat starring at the ground “I miss you so much already”
“Yeah, me too” Someone said from the side.
“What are you doing here?” I stood up and walked over.
“I couldn’t miss it, sorry I’m late, doctors and all”
I walked over to him and hugged him so slightly “Ryan, I’m sorry”
He kissed the top of my head “For what?”
“You shouldn’t of had to have been there” I looked up at him and he had a blank expression on his face.
“Vicky, none of this is your fault, it’s no one’s fault, well it was, but I think you actually had your way with him” He smiled slightly. “Was the service ok?”
“Yeah, it was beautiful. Pete will truly be proud of it”
He smiled and tilted his head towards the door. I nodded in return. We walked over slowly, trying to make it easy for him.
“Wait, I got to tell you” He looked down “There was a big question you missed”
“What?” Ok, pretty confused now.
“Angel” he looked at me and smiled
“Ok, what did I forget?” I don’t even know what subject this is on.
“Well, my angel” He was still smiling.
“Ok, forget about the pet names, what did I forget to ask?”
He laughed and put his hand on my cheek “It isn’t a pet name, it’ what you are”
“Pardon?” This is really confusing now
“What we are, we are Angels, always have been always will be, but you are my Angel and No one else can have you” He smiled and bent down, flinching at the pain a little and kissed my lips ever so lightly.
Ok, I did forget a big Question, I’m not human, I’m not, even from the planet, I’m like a alien, I’m an Angel.
“Shouldn’t I have wings and a Halo or something?” This probably sounds so silly to him.
It did, he laughed “Halo, no such thing, just a human myth. Our wings where taken when we came here, they would give quite a lot away to the people“ He was smiling “Confused yet?”
“I was confused when you said I missed a Question. I’m a Angel. A fallen Angel?” Weird thought, really weird thought “What about the others?”
“Yes, all of us. And we’re not fallen Angels, our wings where taken willingly and we’re not banned from anywhere… One sec, what happened to-“
“Quinton? The other guys got him. What was he then, if he was a Angel, why was he so bad?”
“He was no Angel, nothing of him has anything to do with Angels. He is one of Satan’s people”
“The devil? There’s such thing? Of course, if there is a God, there is a devil” I can’t believe how stupid I’m sounding. “I guess I know why you hate each other then”
“That’s where all the bad and evil came from. The love he felt for you was no love, it was look, they are evil and he didn’t want you, he wanted you body” He looked down “I guess I can’t really disagree with him there though” He smiled and looked back at my face.
“Um, thank you, I think” I guess it is a thank you, but also a Oi.
“It should be a thank you” He moved in closer and kissed my lips again.
Suddenly there was a little spec of rain, I looked up “I’m guessing Pete is a tad annoyed we’re doing this today”
“Yeah, maybe your right. Sorry Pete” He look up at the sky and waved once. The sun sort of brightened up then, it was either a weird coincidence or Pete. I liked to think it was Pete.
“Well, we have all the time in the world” I looked up at him.
“We do and beyond and no one is going to get in the way of that”
This was true, I would never ever allow anyone to get in the way of me and Ryan, if anyone tried; I would go Victoria on their Arses.
We walked back into the pub and it was family. I knew I belonged with them. I loved the brothers I was given and I Loved Ryan. My life was going good.
At the moment.
The End For Now
