karlies pov
i had dreams about her the brought me to tears. my angel, i had begun to think of taylor as. my guardian angel. it was hard to deal with her parting, but i knew she was safe, and that's what mattered to me.
i felt her presence still though, oddly enough. it felt... comforting, warm, calming. almost like she was really there. sometimes i thought she was. swear that i saw taylor after it had happened; for a second in the grocery store, in the library with her head stuck in a book, on the train leaning against the window. but of course, none of them were really her.
because she was gone.

"oh. my. god. you have got to be kidding me." i'm practically freaking out at this point. my mum is telling me the gossip from her latest shift at work (in literal heaven) and, and and-
"so basically, we're letting people down to earth for small amounts of time and calling them deeds. kind of a category of lightworker. they go down for a couple of days just to do small things that help brighten peoples days. you know, stuff like walking a cute dog just so people could pat it, picking up other peoples litter. stuff like that."
"oh my god mum. you've got to sign me up. please mum you've got to have a way to get me some sort of priority admission. please?"
"... i'll try darling. you know it kind of goes against being an angel to cheat to get what you want, but for you my little cupcake, i'll try." she gives me a kiss on the cheek and rustles my fluffy hair like she used to do when i was little.
"thank you mama, you know it means the world to me. you know i would give anything to see karlie again."
at that, my mum gives me a smile. i had been open to her about what had happened between us, and while shocked at first, she was completely supportive. she thought the rules about humans and angels not being able to be romantically involved were outdated anyway. plus, she said she had been watching me and karlie from above and she said there could not have been anyone better for me.
you were right mama, you were right.

"taylor baby, i'm home!"
my mum marches in sounded a lot more chirpier than usual. i'm cooking dinner from behind the stovetop when she comes behinds me and hands me a piece of paper, an envelope, sealed with a gold wax stamp.
the symbol on the stamp-
its... it can't be. it's the stamp from the head office.
my mum looks at me and i look back up at her. my face turns bright red in excitement and i start getting butterflies in my stomach.
i open it up, and it's exactly what i thought it would be.
dearest taylor of the swift family,
we have received your application to be apart of our new 'deeds' program and we are highly impressed by your experience and kindness you have already shown in heaven. we are proud to say that you have been accepted into our first team of deed angels, who will be leaving tomorrow morning to head for earth. you will be gone for a week, with no need to pack things. before you are sent down to earth, we will give you a quick briefing on what things will be like down there; no need to worry!
kind regards and congrulations,
the head office of heaven and angels
"OH MY GOD YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS MUM. OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!" i'm screaming at this point. it happened so quickly. it's only been a couple of days since my mum told me about the new initiative and the head offices are already sending people down. if i wasn't so excited about seeing karlie i might of been more suspicious of how... quick the program got started. but i had more pressing things to worry about. how would i explain everything to her? would she even remember me still? what if she hated me?
"breathe taylor, breathe." my mum calms me down like she can read the thoughts in my head. her and karlie are the only ones who have ever been able to do that to me, calm me so easily.
"mum... i want to ask you something though. do they know what happened between me and karlie?"
"no, honey. i wiped it off of your record. they wouldn't of accepted you if they saw it." my mum sighs. i know she feels guilty about this kinda stuff, but she knows how happy its made me; and that makes it worth it for her.
"mum, you're the best. i'm going to tell karlie all about you."
"good luck, my sweet girl."
