{12} Who is the angel?

To Jill, for all the feels and love story ships you've been giving to us ever since June 29 of last year c:

Apologies, 9, 10 and 11 are underway. And by the way. I don't believe that after you die you turn into some sort of angelic entity and you are sent back to Earth to watch after someone you love. Angels and humans are completely different beings. Just this time, this girl's universe is AU and you get to turn into angels or faeries if you like..

"Have you ever had a feeling

That we're not alone?" Yaaah Divergent, M83.

The angel was in my room the other night.

I found him weeping by the brook.

I asked him why.

He didn't answer me.

But he stopped crying.

And disappeared.

I went to the arcade.

There was a new highscore.

And the angel was trying to beat it.

I stood there and watched him.

He noticed me.

Then he bought me an ice cream by the shop.

And flew away when I smiled at him.

I thought there was red in his cheeks.

There were three fluffy feathers left on the ground.

My best friend used to say three of some things meant something.

He told me what they said before he moved away.

I love you.

The angel was in my room the other night.

That morning I got a letter.

From my best friend's mother.

It said something that made me go into the brook.

And to the arcade him and I always used to play in.

The letter said my best friend had died.

I didn't think so.

The angel was on my chair by the window.

His glow contemplated the lamp I always had on.

I put the feathers back into his hand.

He smiled at my touch.

I love you.
