Hi! Here is another chapter for all of you. I hope you all enjpy it please leave me your thoughts down below :) xoxo

Elizabeth's POV

I walked out into the courtyard during lunch; so many students were walking around chatting amongst themselves. The wind made me shiver due to my bare legs. Why are girls required to wear only skirts? I walked up next to a tree pulling out my phone from the side pocket of my bag. I unlocked the screen and looked through my contacts list dialing Harry's number. It rang a few times before going straight to voice mail.

"Hey, Harry. It's me again" I sighed. "I was just calling to see if you are alright." I said pacing back and forth. "Umm... look just call me, please, when you get the chance." I mumbled.

"Elizabeth, what are you doing?" I heard a girl's voice say behind me. I turned hanging up.

"Oh hey, Sophia." I said putting my phone away. "What's up?"

"What are you doing?" She asked walking a few steps towards me tilting her head to the side.

"Oh well i-"

"You were calling Harry again, weren't you?"

"I..." I looked down licking my lips. Sophia sighed and walked to stand in front of me.

"Elizabeth, he's gone." She whispered. I looked down shaking my head, playing with my necklace with the tips of my fingers. "Everything you are holding on to is in the past. Do you really want to live like a ghost for the rest of your life?"

"I tried to let go Sophia! Trust me, I did." I scowled. Sophia looked at me with soft eyes. I bit my lip trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to come out. "But whenever I let it all sink it. When I let my parents death sink in and Harry being gone..." I paused. "I feel like I'm going to die" I whimpered. Sophia looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Elizabeth, I understand that it is hard." She nodded taking in a deep breath. "However, you have to try. You have to try to get used to the change."

I nodded, blinking my tears away holding my head up high. "Trust me, I will get used to the change. I'll find a way to forget." I said staring blankly at the ground.

As soon as school was over I decide to go look for Niall. I have not snuck up on him at all lately, so that is what I am going to do now. I walked scanned around the hallways trying to find him but he wasn't there I walked outside and saw him walking with Aaron both of them deep in conversation. I smile at myself and ran towards him. I dropped my bag a few feet away and lunged at him, grabbing onto his arm. He quickly grabbed mine and flipped me onto the ground making me land on the green grass. I groaned and laughed after a couple of seconds starring up at the both of them.

"What the bloody hell was that about?" Aaron asked as Niall held his hand out to me to help me up. I smiled.

"Don't worry about it. It's just something to keep each other on our toes. " I shrugged as Niall helped me clean the grass off my back.

"Are you alright?" Niall asked picking up my bag of the ground and handing it over to me. I grabbed the strap and placed it on my shoulder.

"Yes." I nodded with a smile. "I will never be able to pin you down huh?"

"You will in time." Niall nodded his head. "You're just not used to our speed yet, but you'll get the hang of it."

"Hey, Elizabeth" Aaron said speaking up and I looked over at him giving him a nod. "I am so sorry about your parents. How are you doing?"

I smiled. "I'm alright, I'm totally okay." I nodded and I looked over at Niall who had a confused look on his face. "Anyways, I better get going I have a lot of homework to do" I said giving them a small wave before walking away.

Niall's POV

Elizabeth smiled at Aaron. "I'm alright, I'm totally okay." She nodded looking over at me, giving her a confused look. "Anyways, I better get going I have a lot of homework to do" I said giving us a small wave before walking away.

She's alright? How can she say that when the past few months all she has done is being locked in her room all day. I know there is the possibility of her moving on but something is wrong I can feel it. I 'm going to find out what it is.

Elizabeth's POV

After I finished my homework, I decided to go visit Mr.Heartwood at his office. I need to ask him a question that has been bugging me lately.

"Come in!" He yelled after I knocked on his door. I clicked the door open and stepped inside.

"Hey, Mr. Heartwood" I said and he turned around for his desk and smiled.

"Hello Elizabeth" he said setting his vanilla folder down on his desk. "What brings you here?"

"Um, I have a question." I said shyly.

"What is it?" He asked tilting his head to the side.

"I was just thinking that demons are just like guardian angels, except that they have something dark inside them that makes them kill."

"Yes" Mr. Heartwood said understanding me.

"I guess what I am wondering is that could there be a possibility for a demon to turn into a guardian angel?"

Mr.Heartwood raised his eyebrows with a nod. "Oh I see." He paused leaning away from his desk. "Yes, there is a possibility but it is very rare since demons stay demons because they love to kill. However, if there was a possibility that a demon would want to change into a guardian angel, he or she would have to save someone's life."

"What would that entitle?" I asked.

"Well the demon would have to risk their lives for someone else. It can be anybody just as long as its an act of emotion."

"Emotion?" I asked sitting down on one of the two chairs in front of his desk.

"Yes, see demons are not known to having human emotions which is why it feels rewarding to them when they kill." Mr.Heartwood said waving his hand in the air.

"Wait, so they don't feel at all?" I interrupted. "They don't feel pain, heartbreak, or love?"

"No, at least its not common. Again, this goes back to your question." He says and slowly moves to sit in the chair beside me crossing his leg over his knee.

"If it were in the rare chance of a demon wanting to be a guardian angel then they would have to risk their lives for some else. It would have to be an act of emotion, an act of love." He smiled happily at the word. I nodded at him looking at the floor.

"Is there a specific reason why you asked?" I shook my head.

"No. I'm just trying to gather as much information as I can." I said giving him a smile. "Thank you" I said standing up and exited the room.

I closed the door behind me and stood in place. If demons can't feel then how is it possible for Harry to love me? No wait...loved me?
