My heart pounded as I drove my car into his drive way; according to my watch it was just about 3'o clock in the morning, there was no camera crew; just me and my luggage and small camcorder. I had wanted him to feel comfortable and also thought that me being able to capture my thoughts would be a awesome touch soo early 2000's I know.

But hey ,I'm old school.

There was a light on; he was definitely up, I made my way to the door- ringing the doorbell. Shivering in my sandals, palms sweaty, head spinning; there was no way that I could explain my nervousness.

I glanced to my left only to feel an angelic presence;

"Don't be afraid little one, I've been here all along; you are supposed to be here; Chris is your first assignment my little earth angel

"Don't be afraid little one, I've been here all along; you are supposed to be here; Chris is your first assignment my little earth angel. You have no need to be nervous."

"W-w-who and h-h-ow!" to say I was taken back would be a definite understatement, I was in absolute shock; right until he opened the door.

The insomnia and fear were etched on his face ; my heart jolted- he looked like an injured puppy in need of care, his eyes surrounded in bags and filled with tears

I could smell the alcohol and marijuana on his clothes, he was just about to begin his second binge

"You're very early don't you think?"

"Well Mr. Brown you didn't specify a time. " 

He chuckled; our hearts suddenly starting to beat in unison, I reached out to touch his chest instinctively ; he didn't push me away. 

That angelic visit had somehow given me spiritual abilities ; this I discovered from the time my hand met his chest-I could feel the tension which flowed through his body, in my mind's eye I saw his soul -tortured, confused  and lonely. I wrapped my arms around him tightly ; our hearts continuing to beat in unison as our souls connected. 

He buried his head into the crook of my neck, as I massaged his back; before I gently broke the embrace.

"I'd like to get settled in now."

As I made my way up the stairs I could feel his breaths, heavy and irregular; he was nervous
