letters to him || a.i.

0.9 {pt. 2}

We ran for as far as we could before having to fly. A few guards and passerby Angels looked at us strangely but nobody recognized us, thanks to Adeleida being able to disguise all of our wings to be white.

Currently, all of us are flying above the clouds on our way to my home. I had a "secret" house on Earth, Sydney to be exact. Satan knew about it, I bought it with his permission. I have owned it for about two years and it is my getaway whenever I need to leave Hell and cool myself off. It is still considered a "secret" because nobody but Satan, myself, Adeleida, and now the boys, know about it. To everyone else there is a charm on it for it to be owned by "Scott Landen," an office worker from Perth.

After around an hour of Angel/Fallen time, which converts to about sixteen hours Human time, we got there. I unlocked the door and we all strolled in and collapsed onto the various couches and chairs. Adeleida was curled into my side and I had never been more relieved. All of us laid there for a few hours, enjoying the feeling of being safe, before Adeleida spoke up.

"There is an elephant in the room and we need to talk about it," her soft voice said.

"What do you mean?" Calum asked her, sitting up.

Rolling her eyes at him, she stood up and unfurled her wings.

"Remember these, Calum?" she said, crossing her arms.

We all gulped and stared wide eyed at her. Her wings we those of a Fallen and so was her attire. I stood up to look at her eyes, only to find them to her normal, piercing blue colour.

"You need to make a decision, and by the end of the day. I will love you no matter what you choose but Adeleida, if you chose to be a Fallen it is final. If you want to go back to being an Angel you would have to return to Heaven tonight."

"I'm prepared to Fall, Ashton. As much as I enjoyed being an Angel, I have nobody there anymore. You guys are all Fallen, as well as Louis and Harry. You lot are my family and I want to be with you."

I kissed her forehead before I replied,"Alright. We go to Hell tomorrow. Satan will be thrilled to have another female Fallen, and I will be so happy to have you with me, my love."

Everyone else had gone to bed except for Adeleida and I. She was laying back against my chest and I was playing with her wavy hair.

"Adeleida, are you positive that this is what you want? If it isn't I will escort you back to Heaven myself."

"Ash, love, I am positive. I've thought all of this through while you were still in that awful cell. I want this, I want to be with you, the boys, Louis, and Harry. End of story."

Sighing, I nodded,"Okay, Adeleida. I love you."

"I love you too. Ash, will you sing to me? Please, I've missed your voice."

I nodded at her again and grabbed Luke's guitar from the side of the couch.

"What song, my dear?"

She blushed before answering,"Anyone that you would like."

I thought about it for a moment before strumming familiar chords.

Still waters runs deep

Why do you always hide from me

How do you keep

All your troubles underneath

Emotion is a wild thing

I'm trying not to feel it

We get on

Yeah somehow we get by

We're alright cause

Love runs deep

Deeper than the darkest sea

So drop your guard

Why do you have to be so hard

Those paper dolls

Hold each other by the hand

One cut and they break

I'm trying to make you understand

Emotion is a wild thing

Together we can tame it

Look again

Don't you realise

It's in my eyes

Love runs deep

Deeper than the darkest sea

So drop your guard

Why'd you have to be so hard

I wasn't asking you to open up

To open up

It's not my business anyway

It's just that when you're hurting

It's like I'm always searching

For the right words to say

We have an un-spoken rule

That you're always so cruel

Maybe I'm wrong to believe

But in my dreams

Our love runs deep

Deeper than the darkest sea

So drop your guard

Why'd you have to be so hard

Our love runs deep

Deeper than the darkest sea

So drop your guard

Why'd you have to be so hard

When I finished Adeleida had tear in her eyes and I quickly reached to wipe them away.

"That was beautiful, where did you hear it?"

"It's called Drop Your Guard, by a girl named Jasmine Thompson."

"I love it. I missed you so much, Ashton. These past few days were so awful, I could barely breathe. I wrote you occasionally, in my notebook of course. I am so glad we got you out."

"Me too, my love, me too."

We sat in the comfortable silence for a while and I looked down at the girl who held my whole heart and world in her hands. Smiling to myself at her now sleeping form, I picked her up and carried her to my room. After gently placing her on the bed, I stripped down to my boxers and layed beside her.

"Goodnight, my angel," I said, kissing her forehead.
