Day 2: Tears Of The Angel

Alexanders perspective again
---
TW: suicide attempt
---

That wasn't craziest thing I've ever done, but it sure as hell was brilliant.
John gawked at me like the rest of the school did, their stares didn't matter to me, but John's did. He always stuttered and his face was red most of the time. He was so cute.

I went behind a tree where I tranformed back into the demon I was. Finnaly I was invisible to human eyes again.

With a groan I stretched out my wings and took to the sky, I haven't been able to fly in two days, I missed this. After a while on mindless soaring I headed to John's house where I saw that he texting furiously on his phone.

My hand gently caressed his forehead and he visibly calmed.

"C'mon Laf answer me." He muttered silently.

Oh yeah that French kid wasn't at school and neither was that Irish guy, I thought they had just skipped that day. I wasn't complaining, it meant more time John.

Finnaly there was a nock on Johms window. I glared at it, thinking it might be a robber or someone here to hurt John. To my surprise it was Lafayette himself with Hercules in tow. Both boys were balancing on tree branches since John's room was on the second floor.

"Oh my god." John gasped before opening his window.

"Mon ami I'm so sorry, pardonne-moi." It was then I noticed Lafayettes red eyes. Hercules didn't look much better. "What the hell happened?" John asked.

Adrienne flew in, her eyes also red as if she had been crying for hours, she kept muttering Lafayettes name, and was trying to force millions of happy thoughts into Lafayette, but in her state she could only manage a few.

"I tried t-to finis m-ma vie."

John dropped his phone and ran to hug the smaller teen without hesitation. The French teen sobbed into John's arms, Hercules engulfed both of them into an even bigger hug.

I turn to Adrienne for detail.

She sobbed on my shoulder without warning and I did my best not to push her off or curse at her.

"Oh Alexander it was terrible, truly terrible, Laf tried to jump off the Old Mill Bridge this morning, thankfully Hercules was there to stop him, but-"

She broke down again.

I remembered how heartbroken she had been when I took her other humans soul, whom died jumping off a bridge, she looked even worse now.

"When people die of natural causes the blow hurts less, but suicide?-" another sob. "-I just can't handle it, I just can't."

In a flash of rememberance I recalled that night in Russia, Adrienne had whispered, "This will always be the hardest part of my job." Before rising to heaven once more before being reasigned to a new human.

Without knowing it I wrapped a hand around her in comfort.

Devil. I'll be the laughing stock of the century if ever go back home, comforting an Angel? That was priceless.

"Thank you Alex." She said, cleaning her eyes with the back of her hands.

"Lafayette, why?" John asked.

"Because I couldn't handle it anymore, my parents ignore me and refuse to call me their son, my siblings hate me and always beat me up, my aunt Antoinette makes my life a living hell, school and expectations always stress me out and my anxiety has been getting worse, I felt like I was becoming a burden to you two-"

"But your not Laf." John responded. "You are my best friend, along with Herc, if it wasn't for you two I would've been gone too, I owe you guys everything. Lafayette you are amazing and incredible. Who cares if you're parents don't accept you for being a Demiguy, their opinions don't matter."

"You will never be a burden to us Laf, you're the reason I wake up in the morning smiling, you mean so much." Hercules teared up. He held Lafayettes hands in his own and kissed his knuckles.

"I'm so sorry." Lafayette broke down and Adrienne sobbed some more, by this point she drenched me in her tears.

This scene touched me. Lafayette meant so much to these two and if it wasn't for Hercules then he might not be standing here right now.

These two are John's happiness. I'll protect them as well if I have too.

A/N: y'all remember SmolAsexual? Leader of the Eliza Fanclub?

2 year ago we met on our HP/PJO accounts, which are now deleted, and we became closer. She's been gone for about, idk a few months now and it's difficult without her. I exploded my feeling on my other story becuz I didn't have her to rant to, so sorry about that btw.

She Introduced me to Hamilton and she was the first person i told about me being Trans and Depressed. We talked about everything.

Ppl say internet friends arent real friends, but hell she was more of a friend than anybody I've known in real life.

I guess I just feel lonely without Anna now.
