Angels, Demons, and... Me.

I knocked on the door and it opened to revel Alex with bloodshot eyes. "Can I come in?" I asked. He moved aside and I walked in and sat on the bed. I looked at the shirtless pictures of hot guys on his wall, but I averted my attention to Alex who was just sitting next to me. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you." I said. He nodded. I leaned over and hugged him tight. I could tell he didn't expect me to hug him, but he hugged me back after a few seconds. I pulled back and looked at his room. "I swear you're more boy crazed than me."

"Don't make fun of my Taylor."

"At least you're not flamboyant. It's strange. How many people can say they know a gay angel?"

"Everyone in heaven and Dallas." He elbowed me.

"Now I don't feel special, but isn't it a sin to be gay?"

"Yes, for humans. God told us to love everyone. I just find guys hotter than girls."

"So you'd rather do Dallas than me?"

"Pretty much."

I rolled my eyes and laid back. I heard a knock at the door and Dallas poked his head in.

"Mind if I join?" We waved him in. "I hate coming in here. It creeps me out to see half naked men on a guys wall. I'd expect it out of, Snow." We always made fun of Alex for being gay, but it was all for show and he knew it. "That one's new." Dallas pointed to a poster of Harry Styles behind us and then bounced on the bed. "What do you think this new found information will lead us to?" Alex asked. I rolled my eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I've known about you guys for five years. You should learn to hide your wings and horns better."

"Its not our fault you see us like we are."

"So you both forgive me?" I asked shyly. They both gave the other a look then nodded and hugged me. It was like before they knew. I think I preferred them to know so I could always be honest with them. Alex closed his eyes and laid back on the bed. I closed my eyes and listened to the music coming from the radio. I was partially asleep when I felt Dallas pick me up and carry me to my room. He pulled the blankets over me and turned around to leave. "What? No hug?" I asked him before he left. He turned back around and hugged me.

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow you get your present." He said. I smiled and thought about all the things they could've gotten me for my birthday. I heard Alex's music shut off then a few minuets later I heard them both snoring. I tried to sleep, but couldn't. I was too happy. My two best friends forgave me and I can be completely honest with them. On top of that I'll have a kick-ass present tomorrow. I closed my eyes and finally drifted asleep.

***Snow's Dream***

I watched the man slap Dallas across the field. He stopped moving. He then punched Alex over and over until he was left coughing up blood. "Run!" Alex screamed when he saw me and I took off. I almost hit a few trees, but I can't stop running or something bad will happen. I left Dallas and Alex alone with him. What will he do? I have I go back, but Alex told me to run. I heard someone cry out in pain. Tears started streaming down my cheeks and the wind only made them feel like ice. I had to find some place safe. That's when a pair of arms wrapped around me.
