*Sam's P.O.V*
"I like this one," Lucy mumbled to herself as she passed rack after rack of turquoise coloured dresses. I was just wandering behind her, trying not to fall asleep. I didn't get much sleep last night. After Carter told me I had a brother I spent the night tossing and turning; trying to picture what he looked like. Did he have my bright blue eyes? Or my pixie like nose? And Carter also delivered another piece of interesting news...He told me that my mom and sister weren't my real family. He said that my real parents; Lucian and Marina were archangels and they stripped me of my wings and sent me on earth; because I was in danger when the war began. He also said my brother's name is Jev but my parents didn't banish him because he was of age to fight with them.
That was all I was able to gather from him and then he left but not before placing a soft kiss on my forehead; which made my heart accelerate and my breathing come ragged. I had a feeling he knew because he smirked at me before vanishing like he usually does. I never felt like that before...with the shivering...the immense pounding of my heart; not even with Drew. I didn't finch when I said his name this time. Ever since I've been spending time with Carter, I had completely forgotten my breakup with Drew. Maybe...I liked Carter. Maybe he was the only thing keeping me sane right now. Maybe I was born a mistake; a perfect little angel, literally; only to have my wings yanked out of me in the most brutal way possible just because of a stupid war. And the dumb thing is, archangels had more power than you can imagine so they won the war. I didn't see why my parents couldn't keep me hidden somewhere until it had all blown over but nooo...they had to send me here.
"SAM!" Lucy screamed, snapping her fingers in front of my face. "What?" I hissed at her. She winced at my suddenly loud voice. I didn't mean it though...I was just in a very bad mood. "Sorry Luc. What did you want?" I asked, lowering my voice a bit. "I'm done. We can go home now," she said. I nodded and followed her to her car. "So what dress did you buy?" I asked, staring out the windshield. She looked at me like I was a crazy person. "I didn't buy a dress Sam. I just browsed through a few of them," she said. "Oh my bad. I wasn't paying attention, sorry,' I told her and it was through. I truly was sorry but I had more important things on my mind besides dress shopping for a dance I might not go to. "Whatever," she mumbled and pulled up in front of my house. "I really am sorry Luc. I'll try and make it up to you somehow...uhm..maybe a movie tomorrow?" I asked, one foot out the door. She debated in her head then turned to me and smiled. "Tomorrorw at 6," I nodded and hopped out.
As soon as I entered the house I called out to my mom. But then I realized..she wasn;t really my mom and she wasn't even here. She's still on that emergency call in Canada. Not even Macy, my little sister, whom I've always loved and will continue to love even though she now felt like a stranger to me; wasn't here to annoy me with her usual banter about Justin Bieber and how hot he is. I sighed long and deep before going up to my room, showering and throwing myself face down on the bed. Thank God it's Friday. I don't think I would have been able to function for another day in public.
I felt a slight breeze and then Carter's hand against my forehead. "Are you okay babydoll?" he asked, his face filled with concern. And for just a brief second I wondered if he was really concerned or if he was just playing the part of "Sam's guardian angel". But from the little time I've known him, he seemed to mean every word he said. "I'm fine. Just tired," I mumbled sitting up. He assessed me for a minute. I could imagine what I looked like right now; deep purple bags under my eyes, bright blue tangled hair, tossed up in a messy bun and big baggy clothes that made me look like a boy. Yep. I looked horrible. "You look horrible babydoll," he chuckled lightly. "I know," I told him honestly. He sat on the bed next to me and held my hand; another gesture that made my heartbeat accelerate.
"I'm starting to regret telling you about your real family," he muttered, stroking my hand with his thumb. "What do you mean? I couldn't be more happy to know about them!" I protested. "I know but look at what it's done to do. You look like a walking zombie Sammy," he said. That was a shocker. He never called me by my real name. Well a nicknam made of my real name but still close enough. "That's my own fault Carter. It's not everyday a guardian angel tells you that the people you have in your life right now is fake and somewhere above you is your real parents and that you're a freakin fallen angel!" I shouted. He winced but continued stroking my hand. "I'm sorry Carter, I just haven't wrapped my head around it yet," I murmured and looked down at my free hand. I noticed my birthmark and my mind was flooded by new questions for him but I settled for one.
"Carter...what does my birthmark mean?" I ask, looking him straight in the eye. "You got that from your dad. He has the exact same "mark" on his wrist too. It's symbol of power. It means ruler of all," he said. "Does Jev have it too?" I asked again. He shook his head. "He has the symbol of your mother. It's like a splattered water drop and it means hope," he explained. I filed away my new pieces of information in a file at the back of my brain with the word Freaky Immortal Stuff on the front and then let out a huge yawn.
Carter laughed once and in the blink of an eye, tucked me in and placed another kiss on my forehead. And again my heartbeat accelerated. "You know I'll never get used to that," he murmured. 'Gt used to what?" I askd, genuinely confused. "Everytime I touch you your heart beats faster and you blush like crazy," he chuckled once. Oh God! So he did notice it. "I'm sorry," I mumbled. He laughed once again. "I'm not...but I swear babydoll I just wish I could feel the same way," and then he vanished into thin air, leaving me to ponder about what he said and to run through my list of insecurities.
