My Evil Guardian Angel

III

I gasped as my aching body reflexively sat upwards.

Still trembling, my dainty hands reached to cup my face.

I fell back on my damp, sweaty sheets.
My head was throbbing, and my weak heart was violently pounding against my chest.

I looked around, realising I was back in my room. I was used to the haunting nightmares of my mothers death, but committing suicide in my dreams was something new to me.

I gingerly wiped the sweat off my forehead, my palms clammy and my whole body reeking.

Still exhausted, I grabbed a towel and a bathrobe, making my way to a nice cold shower.

A part of me was glad I was still alive, I smiled, not bothering to turn the lights on as I silently walked across the freezing tiles. 
My breathing quickened as the icy water overwhelmed my senses.

Once my 15 minutes were up, I quietly turned off the water source and swiftly wrapped myself into a warm, cozy bathrobe, collecting the remains of my once long hair into a towel.

I took my time walking to my room,  enjoying the feeling of warmth and a relaxed state of mind.

My short journey came to a halt once I caught my reflection in my bedroom mirror.
I stared at my moonlit features, stripping off my coverage and gazing at my gaunt body.

I frowned at myself- disgusted by what I saw.
This was the reason nobody stopped to talk to me. I picked at all the chunks of fat I could find, riling myself up.
Fat, fat, fat!
I mentally screamed.
Briefly wiping away the tears that came without warning.
I didn't deserve the pleasure of food.
I wanted to feel beautiful, devoid of the weight that sealed me to the ground. I needed to feel weightless.
I needed to starve.
And I wasn't going to stop until I was skinny.

I sighed, downing a bottle of water in advance.

" Well, uhm. This doesn't seem like the best time to announce my presence but- "

His sentence was cut off by my deafening scream.
Before he could muster another word I slapped him, leaving a vivid, red handprint on his left cheek. However, it didn't seem to affect him at all.

" Who the fuck are you?! " I shrieked.

His eyes darted to my chest, holding a lingering gaze.

I squealed, coming to a sudden realisation that my hideous, naked body was on display.

I grabbed the nearest thing to me, which unfortunately was my little rose towel. A furious blush crept up to my face, and I silently prayed that the room was too dark for it to be seen.

A smug look spread across his face.

" Damn, you sure know how to leave a first impression. "

I gawked at him, the audacity!

" Turn around. " I commanded.
With reluctance, he let his back face me.

The resemblance was mind blowing,
but could he really be the same guy from my dream?
I pondered, grabbing a woolly jumper, randomly picked jeans and some clean underwear out of my closet.

" You didn't answer my question. Who are you? " I spoke out after I was done with changing.

" I already told you- I'm your guardian angel. " He winked, making it a struggle for me to stay angry.

" Cut the bullshit. "

His expression became cold again.
" It's not bullshit. I'm telling the truth. "
His words were coated with annoyance,  irritated that I wasn't buying it.

" And why should I believe you? " I asked.

" Because you saw it. "

I gulped. That couldn't be true. It was a dream, period.

" B-but you had wings- " I argued.

" I do. But I only use them in times of need. " He explained, his voice calm.

My mind buzzed with too many thoughts. I had so many unanswered questions it was exhausting to just think.

" Why.. Why did you save me? "
I blurted out.

He gave me a strange look, as if he needed a reason.

" Because it wasn't your time. "
