Angels, Demons, and... Me.

I pulled Alex's iPod out of my jacket pocket and turned it in shuffle. A Thousand Years came on and I started to sing it under my breath. I was a good singer, but it was too early in the morning for people to hear my loudness. "How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow. One step closer. I have died everyday waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more." I sung a little louder because I felt like. I didn't really want to be alone, I just felt a little obligated to get out and enjoy the morning sun. I did it on every trip, whether Alex and Dallas were with me or not.

***Dallas' P.O.V.***

I woke up when the door closed. I sat up and looked around. Alex was snoring quietly, which was strange, and Snow was nowhere to be found. I hurried out the door after her and finally found her walking down the sidewalk singing. "For a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more." She seemed so happy. She kept looking over at the horizon at the sunrise and smiling. I just wish... No Dallas, damn it. Don't let your feelings go there, but how could I even listen to myself? Who could I even kid? It was even obvious to Alex that I love her. I loved everything about her. Even the fact that she had to stand on her toes to even hug me around the neck. I remembered what Alex told me to do about it two years ago. "Go for it man. There is no way that girl doesn't love you." I could hear his voice in my head now. He is such a happy person and he's always so optimistic, but I'm pessimistic and I just know if I ask it will ruin our friendship. I've never gotten the guts to actually ask her out or even tell her how I feel. That's why I have so many one night stands. I've already come to terms with it and it sucks. I use others to mask how I feel about someone else. Even the last woman said it. I couldn't do it. Two weeks ago I left after Snow had asked me where I was going. I knew she knew where I was going, but I didn't want to admit it. I got the woman to her place, but something wasn't going right and she knew what was going on. I came home and bragged about how good looking she was and I lied that I slept with her. Then I heard what Alex thought and I felt heartbroken. Can a demon feel that way? I guess it was like they always said. I'm going soft. I watched her start dancing as the song changed on the iPod. She started playing air guitar and it made me laugh. Why did I have to fall?

***Snow's P.O.V.***

Nobody's Hero blasted through the headphones and I started dancing and playing air guitar. I was the best air guitar player this world has ever seen, Alex used to tell me. A man tapped me on the shoulder. I paused the music as he whispered something in Italian. "I'm sorry." I said.

"I don't mean to frighten you, but a strange looking guy has been following you for the past block. Don't look back." The man said in a thick Italian accent. I thanked him and started walking faster when he left. What if it was the guy that poisoned my necklace? I picked up my speed even more until I was running down the street with no music. Then I felt arms wrap around me. I almost let out a scream until a hand cupped around my mouth. "Shhh. You'll make people think I'm a murder." Dallas' smooth voice said. I relaxed knowing that he was the one following me.

"Oh thank god! A man told me that someone was following me."

"Only me." He smiled. His dimples showing more than normal. I reached up and messed up his swooped hair and pushed it out of his eyes. He smiled even bigger. "What's say me and you go get breakfast."

"What about Alex?"

"He's asleep and won't be awake for a few more hours."

"Alright, but we should bring him back something or he'll be sad."

"Fine by me. Lets go." We went to a restaurant I couldn't pronounce the name of and got a few wraps.
