"I despise men!"  

I said while clinking drinks with my friends the girls had all gathered for the party this was a girls night out in a bid to cheer me up. To be honest this was not my day. This day marked exactly one year since my sleazy fiancee had left me, I had come home from a long day of work only to find a note from my fiancee telling me he was moving to America with the love of his life two weeks before our wedding and he was sorry. so here I am knocking back drinks with my closest friend in a bid to drown my sorrows

"Cheer up sweetie he was no good anyway" my bestfriend said to me

I just nodded my head at her; I am extremely wary of men now how does the saying go? Oh yeah once bitten twice shy I am in full agreement with that saying

"the quickest way to get over a guy is to find another guy" she said

I smiled at her and shook my head "thanks but im off men for awhile besides he and I have been together since highschool I thought he was my prince charming, you dont get over that kind of thing easy" I said sadly

my friend snorted at that "its been a year all you have been doing is going to work and back home face it Olivia you've become a recluse its time for you to get your life!" she shouted and gave me a slap on the shoulder

"ow! that hurts" 

Just then the music stopped and a young man walked onto the stage he was breath takingly handsome the entire room became quiet we were all waiting for what this dark angel would do. He took a deep breath and started singing it was the most lovely voice I had ever heard, the song was a slow ballad about lost love, it brought tears to my eyes when I looked around the room I saw I was not the only one all the ladies and some of the men were dabbing their eyes as well.

*who is he* I  wondered this song displayed exactly how I felt right now my friends though they meant well did not understand what I was going through but somehow this mysterious dark angel knew, in that moment I felt he and I were connected. 

the performance ended and the spell broke their was a loud roar of applause and everyone was shouting for an encore from the dark angel he complied and performed two more songs one was about hope and a girl fnding her prince while the other was about a man who loves a girl but didnt know how to tell her all he could was sing her a song about his feelings.

while he was singing I pretended that it was only the two of us in the room and I was the girl in the song he was singing to. For a while I forgot my troubles there was no ruined wedding no cheating fiancee just my dark angel and I. I sighed when the music ended and he stopped singing it was time for me to return to the real world. 

I excused myself from my friend and went to the bathroom I freshened up and came back out I accidently bumped into someone as I came out the door

"oops" I said

and almost fell backwards two hands grasped my forearms and straightend me before before I fell 

"are you ok?" a voice asked me
