Chapter 20 •Tori's POV•

It had been about eight months since Gabe and Evie had gotten together. Their sophomore year in University was ending soon in a few months and their year had been going by so well. Not once had Gabe ever sulked over my death, he knew he couldn't for Livy's sake.

On few occasions I would see Gabe looking at pictures of the two of us, and I would even feel his pain but he never once let it take over him like he did back in his first year of University. That's all I ever wanted, for him and Livy to be safe and happy.

Every time I would head down to Earth to watch over Gabe, I couldn't help the pang in my chest every time I would see him with Evie or the horrible feeling of missing him. Believe me I am truly happy that he is happy with Evie but I love him still and I will forever.

Watching Gabe and Evie together these past few weeks I had noticed the changes in their relationship. It was different from when they first started dating; now they fought and their relationship had gotten a bit rocky but they would always make up afterwards.

I could always tell what Gabe was thinking, and it defiantly wasn't something Evie would be too happy with. I wasn't too sure what would happen between them but all I know is that I truly do want them both to be happy, together or not.

Olivia was growing bigger every day. She had even spoken her first word. I knew how much Gabe wanted it to be 'Daddy' so imagine the look on his face when instead she said 'Tori'. I was shocked when I had heard that, it was nice to think that even though she would never know me at least there will always be a part of me in her.

I knew one day Olivia would grow up, fall in love, get married and have kids of her own. My wish is that she gets to live her life and gets to do everything she wants with no regrets. I never got the chance to do everything I wanted to do in life, but I did finish my bucket list and that was good enough.

Never once have I ever blamed myself for getting sick but I know that isn't the truth. The truth is that no matter what I did or how healthy I was it wouldn't have mattered. The cancer chose me as its victim and I could do nothing to stop it.

Even though I wasn't one of the lucky survivors I do consider myself lucky. I had gotten to live longer than what was estimated, I even got the chance to spend some time with Livy no matter how short it may have been.

Heaven wasn't at all what I thought it would have been like. It was even better, I could watch over my loved ones from up above, I had been working very hard on my powers and had recently figured out how to see anyone else besides Gabe and Olivia once a month.

Jesus had helped train me along with the other new angels in training. It was nice; it reminded me a bit like school back on Earth except here in Heaven everything was supernatural and much easier. I was barely ever tired and I always felt so energetic.

It was only the times where I would be on Earth where my true feelings would take a toll on me. Our two worlds were so divided between the good and the bad, it was so crazy. So far I had only made one friend up here in Heaven and that was a girl named Rosaline.

She died in 1956; she was killed by the smallpox sickness. I had heard her story when we all gathered together in a circle for story time. It was very sad to hear how she had died, she was only sixteen too.

Rosaline and I got along very well, actually everyone here in Heaven got along well but for some reason I felt more connected to her because the both of us had died from a type of sickness.

After our training with Jesus I found myself laying in the Garden of Eden. How a garden could be so beautiful, I had no idea. I then felt a tap of my shoulder coming from Rosaline; she had said she would meet me here.
