Chapter 44: Finally

Bel's P.O.V:

I woke up in a white room, I can't exactly call it a room. There were no doors at all. Just an infinity white room where you can walk and walk and just reach nothing. I stared around for a while, but everything was white, it could've hurt your seeing. There was a white desk and chair placed by not far away.

"Well hello there" Someone spoke and I yelped, turning around to face the sound. It came from a woman. She had dark brown hair that fell right above her chest, her eyes were pure blue. She seemed to be in her 30s, I don't really know. She was wearing a white gown, and she had the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.

"Who are you?" I asked quietly, making her smile brighten even more.

"I'm an angel as you can see and no, your not dead" she complied with a laugh, making me send her a confused look. What is she talking about?

"Where am I?" I nonchalantly asked, not really afraid anymore.

"Your somewhere between life and death" She spoke, her smile faltered a bit. Wait, what?

"What? Sorry, but I seriously don't remember anything..." I spoken, trying to remember at least something, but my mind went blank.

"You're one lucky girl, you know that?" She asked me, her smile returned slowly as she sat on the white chair, folding her arms as she watched me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, waiting desperately for her respond as I walked closer to her.

"You're one of a kind. You're not like the rest. You may think this is some joke; but it's a matter of life and death. But your not going to die today. And there's endless reasons on why not. Most importantly is because you've been strong for so long, you never let go. Not even when you knew you were about to die. Your a kind of woman that cannot die easily, you still have lots to accomplish. Secondly, if it wasn't for Niall's promise you'd be really dead by now" She stated, fiddling with her fingers, her gaze never left mine.

Promise, what promise?

"What promise?" I asked curiously, making her smirk. Her eyes sparked with something unknown, making me wanna know even more.

"Remember the time where he had put you to bed? Somewhere between your first date and kiss? He kinda promised you a 'forever and always'" She explained and then it hit me. When I blacked out, he kept repeating those words, but I never really heard him say it to me directly. Forever and always? What did he mean though?

"What did he mean?" I asked again, trying to hold my curiosity back. She smiled even brighter, standing up from her place as she approached me. I didn't move back, because angels don't hurt you, right?

"He meant to protect you. He meant that your love would last forever. He meant that he'd do anything to make things right. He gave you his forever and always, so it's your turn to give him his" She answered, smiling sheepishly as she saw my once again confused face.

"And how can I do that?" I asked timidly, trying not to sound desperate.

"Love is such a powerful thing. But theirs a lot kinds of love. The most powerful is 'Loyal Love'. And it's a rare thing, because their aren't a couple that can be always loyal. But who can be or already are, well, let's just say then there's nothing to separate them, not even death" She spoke again, and I was still bloody struck.

"And that's the kind of love that...?" I asked, hoping for more explanation.

"That you and Niall share. Therefor, the promise he have promised shall be granted" She exhale deeply, the smile never leaving her lips.
