"ANGEL!” Angelo and I both yelled at the same time. I jumped into his arms and he hugged me tightly. My legs wrapped around his waist. I knew he could handle my weight; I did this to him all the time. He walked over to a nearby couch in the living room and sat down still holding me.

"You are so heavy Hayzel!" He said with a smile. I rolled my eyes: he was a horrible actor.

"Ouch. My boyfriend thinks I' m a fatty. Guess I should just break up with you."

"No! I think you are perfect. You are, Beautiful just the way you are! " the last line he broke into song. It was Bruno Mars- Just the Way You Are. I loved the message of the song. Angelo had a wonderful voice. He could sing. He had the voice of an Angel. He always did that. When something reminded him of a song he would sing parts of it. He loved to sing but was totally shy when it came to being on stage. 

I sat on his lap, legs still wrapped around his waist. I let my head rest against his chest, firm but not overly covered in muscled chest. He placed his chin on my head and we both just sat like that enjoying each other for a while. No matter what trust issues I had, I loved him. I knew that. But why had I seen so much in Dmitri's eyes. Wait. Why am I thinking about Dmitri when I am with Angel? Can you fall in love twice? Why am I wondering this now?

I craned my neck so I could look up at him after he removed his chin. Angelo was a really handsome guy. Girls fell over him every second. He was never made fun of or anything. He lived an easy life. Maybe that was 1 reason I loved him. He was an escape from my crazed world... When I spent time with him I entered his care free world of a normal teen. 

His tanned face was beautiful. High cheek boned and stunningly beautiful he is. His curly brown hair, light, in a soft and hot, messy style. It ended midway at his ears and covered part of his forehead, along with his eyes. It was swept to the side perfectly. His eyes a dark blue, deep. They were about as deep as Dmitri's. Wait what! Why am I comparing them? Well they are both good looking but the difference is that Angelo is mine. I couldn't loose him.  If I lost him, I would go crazy he is the only one who kept me grounded and is keeping me out of a mental hospital right now. I would have killed my self years ago if not for him and Sara. If he left me too... I love him...Would Dmitri care enough to try to keep me grounded as well.  Wait why do I keep remembering Dmitri?

I hugged him again, tighter then before and felt him wince. It probably didn't even hurt him but he noticed my random change in strength. "You are going to kill me love.” I loved his accent, Australian. Beautiful. His voice carried a lot of worry when he continued, "What is wrong?"

"Nothing..." I answered UN convincingly. I hadn't told him about Sara- and...

Angelo moved me off his lap and turned to face me, taking my hands in his, "Don't lie to me. I don't like seeing you pained."

I shifted a little so he wouldn't see my face; it was completely readable. Would he think I was crazy if I told him? Would he leave me? He couldn't, well maybe he could. "Nothing..." I repeated a little more convincingly but he knew me too well and I already blew my cover. He didn't believe me. I felt two warm hands cup my face and tilt it so I was looking straight into the concerned blue's I tried hard to avoid.

Gently he whispered, "I won't ever leave you Hayzel.  I know that is what you are worried about. I won't push you either but I think I should know." 

"The black and the hand...” I whispered shakily.

"Don't be racist... I am considered brown though...” He said with a smile. He was trying to lighten the mood. He always tried no matter what to make me smile. But I didn't deserve it. I let Sara go and apparently stolen by the people who aimed for me. What if they killed- no I can't think like that. I would find her. 

I sighed loud enough for him to hear. I needed as much strength as I could create to hold in the tears that follow the story. I opened my mouth to speak and tell him but no words came out. If I said it out loud it would make it seem more real. This was real but I couldn't bring myself to speaking yet. I stood up and took another deep breath. It felt kind of warm in here and breathing became a little more difficult. 

"Angel...” Angelo said, his voice now sad, "You're crying."  I was? I didn't even bother to check but I knew I was crying now. I tasted salt in my mouth.... I couldn't tell Angelo now. What if he took it like a joke, serious was not a part of him and I loved that but I couldn't tell him. That logic was not a valid reason and I knew it myself but I just couldn't tell him yet. I can't say it out loud until I have a plan to change thing and I can't loose my Angel. I need someone in my life. I love him and don't want him to think I am a freak. I think I am one myself. I freak who let her sister get hurt. Who is not up searching for her every waking minute? 

I already thought badly about myself. I didn't want Angel to think about me in that way too. I heard foot steps behind me and turned to look at whoever was approaching and locked eyes with Dmitri's that after scanning the room looked angry. 

"What did you do boy!” Dmitri sternly said. He looked as if he was about to burst, holding in his true emotions. He was fuming. He marched straight up to Angelo and stood in his face. Side to side I would say Dmitri was more built and looked like he experienced more in life. He looked older even though we were all the same age. Dmitri was also taller when he stood close to Angelo it made Angelo shrink. I bet they were about the same height; Dmitri just a few inches taller.  

"Back up. I didn't do anything to Hayzel, I just told her that I wouldn't push her and she began to cry." Angelo took a step back gracefully but held Dmitri's gaze. Dmitri stepped into him again and again Angelo stepped back. This continued until Angel's back was against the wall.

Dmitri hissed, "Don't lie to me... if you ever try to hurt her, you're dead. So tell me the truth..!! " Dmitri, obviously choosing to show his emotions, grabbed Angelo's collar and held him against the wall feet dangling. Dmitri was stronger then he looked...

After the threat processed in my head I was wide awake. Not in my mind anymore. Dmitri looked like he would hurt Angel. He couldn't! "Dmitri!” I yelled, voice strong. I dashed across the room and tugged on Dmitri's arm desperately. He couldn't hurt Angel; I couldn't loose Angel. He turned and looked at me, his face softening when he realized whom I was.  "Put Angel down! He didn't do anything... PLEASE!”  I begged. I couldn't loose Angel wouldn't!  Why would he think I couldn't handle myself? The action was sweet but I wasn't exactly bleeding and it looked like Dmitri would have killed him. He couldn't kill him. 

Dmitri gently put Angel down and they both separate. I couldn't deal with these two fighting now. I needed a plan. I needed to think about Sara instead of myself. I needed time alone to think... Dmitri looked apologetic and Angel shaken up and confused. Angel approached me while Dmitri did as well. Both only focused on me who stared back and forth. I watched them both pull down their sleeve over their hands.

Angel and Dmitri both placed their sleeve on my face, Angel my left, Dmitri my right, wiping away another tear I hadn't noticed, sliding down either cheek. I was a wreck. Both sent a different feel vibrant through me with their touch. Dmitri sent a cool and strong feel while Angelo sent a warm and bright feel. Angelo like a sun, Dmitri like a moon. Both smiled at me with concerned eyes. One set aqua green, while the other a deep blue. 

"Please stop crying,” They whispered at once and then glared at each other, like they only realized the other person now. As if some agreement and conversation went on between them through gaze they both simultaneously said, “We will be back Hayzel/Angel." 

When they left I felt cold and let my legs fall from underneath me. I cried out of confusion and the feeling of being lost. Why didn't I have any answers? I started to think about a plan while I heard mumbles from the other room. The boys were both in a serious tone. What could they be talking about? That is when I saw a tiny black rip with an eye watching me from the corner of the room.
