An angels lover

Alani

Three months later.

I walk into school and greet Daniel. Daniel has convinced the guys that he should stay instead of Joe and I'm honestly quite grateful.

"How are you?" Lilac who is also in my form asks.

"Good" I nod my head. Daniel eyes me but doesn't say anything.

I haven't seen him in over three months. I don't know when he'll be back or if he's even coming back. I pull my now shoulder length hair behind my ears.

"What are you guys doing after school?" Lilac asks dragging me back to reality.

"Why?" I ask.

"There's a party today. One of the football players birthday and I was hoping you guys would come" she smiles at Daniel.

When the bell rings and the teacher dismisses us we go to our first lesson. I go into English and sit at the usual back.

Lilac talks about how cool the party we're going to is going to be but I just stare at the window. Our 6 weeks holiday is coming up and I can't wait.

I don't think I can do school anymore. I turn to Lilac and she still talking, I nod occasionally so it looks like I'm listening.

When I look out the window I see a familiar figure walking with the head teacher. My heart comes out my ass and my jaw drops.

He's back. There's no way he's back. I blink a couple of times to make sure that I'm not dreaming. I watch Cultun walk with the head teacher into a building.

I particularly shake in my seat until lesson is over then race to Daniel. "He's here!" I say looking around.

"Who?" He asks.

"Who do you think genius?"

"Oh Cultun!" He smiles.

"Yes" I say annoyed.

"Are you alright with that?" He asks.

"Yeah" I laugh "I've locked him in the back of my head with Louis"

"Your not over him" Daniel smiles.

"Yes I am"

"You can't even say his name" he raises and eyebrow.

"That's not the point here. The point is, he's here and I'm gonna run every time I see him or I might break down again" I look around again "I am not ready for this"

The bell rings and Daniel pats me on the back. "Good luck"

"Your supposed to be my mentor" I whine.

"Somethings you have to get through by yourself" he says then walks away. I start to make my way to lesson and then enter the 400 block building.

I pass a couple of class rooms and then I spot him at the end of the corridor. I stand in shock as he looks at me with his forest green eyes.

My heart races a little faster then It should be. He takes a step forward then I automatically turn in the other direction.

"Alani" he says my name sending butterflies everywhere in my body. I stop in my tracks paralyzed by his low and warming voice.

He stand in front of me and the first thing I spot are his lips. I lock eyes with him to see his soft gaze he has on me.

"We need to talk" he looks down at me.

"There's nothing to talk about" I put up a wall. I'm not letting him in, I won't.

"You cut your hair" he takes his hands out his pockets "looks good" his hands slowly rise and then he touches me face. He pulls hair behind my ears and I try my hardest not to jump on him.

I smack his hand away "A lot has changed" I say and he raises an eyebrow. I turn to walk away.

"Wait" he grabs my hand "are we not gonna talk about what what happened?" He asks.

"I have nothing to say" I get out his grip.

"Then listen" he says softly.

We walk out of school premises and he opens the door form me when we reach his car. I don't smile at him which would be my usual reaction.

He doesn't start his engine which mean we aren't going anywhere. "Your mad at me"

"I think I have the right to be" I look away.

"I didn't want to leave" he finally says "I was being haunted down, I ran so they wouldn't get you. I-you were always on my mind. You still are"

"This is unbelievable. You have no right to-" a sob comes out.

"I didn't mean to hurt you. I wasn't supposed to be gone for so long" he stops and I watch his jaw clench. "I miss you Nia. I am so sorry"

I shake my head. "I cried for so long I thought I ran out of tears. I gave you everything I could possibly give. And you left. You left me, you literally got in your car and nearly ran me over.

"You had me thinking I was the problem. You can't say you left to protect me because you didn't. You left to protect you. I don't feel anymore. Does that sound normal to you?

"I haven't had a real laugh escape form me ever since the morning you left. I've stopped feeling. So you can't come back and tell me you miss me because I don't. I don't feel anything for you anymore." I look him in the eyes.

"You left me broken and now I protect myself." Sadness dance in his eyes and I almost take back everything I just said.

"So if I kiss you right now you won't feel anything?" He asks clearly not believe me.

"Nice try" I say and get out his car. I walk back into school, I don't go back to lesson. I go into the toilet and splash water on my face.

The door opens not long after me and he walks in. "I don't buy it" he says and move closer to me.

Every step he takes I back away. "You don't feel anything for me? Bullshit. I don't believe a single word"

I feel the wall on my back meaning there's no more space to back up in. I swallow the rock in my throat and feel it go down my oesophagus.

He puts his hand on my neck and uses his thumb to tilt my head up. He then presses his lips on mine. Everything I've been trying to avoid comes back.

I kiss him back missing everything about this. Then I push him away. "Stop"

"Give me a chance." He whispers I hear him perfectly meaning the gap between us isn't enough space.

"I don't know" I move past him.

"I'm not going to hurt you"

"Again" I add.

"I'm not going to hurt you again" he corrects himself.
