She's My Angel

Six

"You alright?" Ruthy chuckled. I bite my bottom lip and nodded.

"Yeah not sure what's up with me?" I rasped and Ruthy grinned.

"Kirsten, I know you....you do this before a performance when you're nervous, don't gotta lie to me Babe. I'm pretty sure that he likes you," Ruthy shrugged.

"I love Tony, Ru," I admitted.

"I don't think I'm ready to move on just yet." She looks at me and sighs.

"Yeah I know Babe, I just want you to be happy and I think that Danny could make you happy," I smile and she nodded.

"Thanks Ruffy." She gives me a hug and exits the bathroom and head back to the table.

"You two took long enough!" Corbyn exclaimed.

"Don't come out and tell us the Kirsty is real after all these years!" Kyra added. We laugh along with them and sit down.

"What are you talking about? Kirsty has been real from the beginning!" Ruthy protests jokingly, holding my hand. I nod and give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Get a room," Kaea laughs before looking down at the menu.

"Here they are," Ruthy said pointing to the door. I see four people come in, I teen boy and then caught a glimpse of Danny he had a little boy with him, he looks amazing. Then I notice that he's holding hands with Althea and I frown, they look like they could be a young couple with kids.

"Someone jealous?" Ruthy asks lowly beside me. I give her a glare and she chuckled.

"Hey," Althea greeted.

"Hi," we all say in unison. The teen boy sat next to Althea which meant that Jacob had to sit in the chair next to me. The waiter had brought a booster for the younger boy. I feel my cheeks heat up as our eyes meet. Why am I acting like this?

"Hey girls. This is my younger brother Luke and my son Ozzy." His deep voice greets and he gives everyone a small wave before taking his seat next to me. I felt him nudge me with his leg and I turned to face him. He has a son?

"Are you alright?" He asks lowly, not wanting to draw attention to us.

"Yeah. How're you and Althea?" I ask a little too harshly. I didn't mean for it to come out like that, it just did. Danny tilted his head to the side as his brows furrowed in confusion.

"I-I honestly don't-"

"Kirsten," Corbyn called, catching my attention.

"Yeah?" She points at the menu and then winks at me.

"What would you like?" She then leaned over so only I could hear.

"And I don't think that Daniel's on the menu," she whispers before pulling away and laughing at my flushed face.

"Quit it," I smiled only to receive another laugh.

"I'll just have what you're having," I laugh, shaking my head in disbelief at how dirty minded my brunette friend really was. We ordered and are our food while chatting about multiple topics until I heard my phone go off. Everyone's eyes were on me and I cleared my throat.

"Excuse me," I spoke, getting up and leaving the restaurant so that I could answer it.

"Hello?"

"Kirsten, it's me." My eyes widen as I hear Tony's voice on the other end.

"What do you want Tony? I have nothing to say to you," I huffed. I hear Tony sigh on the other end of the phone.

"I really am sorry Kirsten. I love you more than anything." And there it goes again, my heart breaking for the billionth time.

"Stop calling me! And stop texting my friends!" I growled.

"Whatever. You're just a dirty slut!" He exclaimed and hung up.

I felt my hands trembling with anger as my eyes welled up. I stumbled back and sat down on a wooden bench. Why did I even like him? Why do I love him?

"Kirsten?" My heart pounded against my chest at the sound of his voice. It was concerned, gentle....caring.

"Yea-yeah?" I choked back my own tears, turning my head to look him in the eyes. He sighed and sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry that you're going through this. If I knew where he was at I would fucking-"

"No you wouldn't," I cut him off. I could see him getting angrier and angrier, which I found oddly cute.

"Bu-"

"I don't want you getting hurt or involved in this. Tony's not worth it," I simply state. He smiles and nods after a few seconds.

"Can I....can I give you a hug?" He asked softly. I giggled and nodded, letting him pull me into his chest. I hear the soft sound of his heartbeat and I suddenly felt at peace. I closed my eyes to enjoy the moment before I felt him pull away.

"We should get back inside before they start coming up with theories," he winked, making my stomach flip. I nod and wait for him to get up before following after him.
