Hell's Only Angel

Forty One

Adeline's P.O.V

Tonight was Veronica's benefit event for the Ronson family. I came and contributed some money to go towards the family. Beckham had to do something but gave me some money to donate.

"Adeline, glad to see that you were able to make it," Veronica said as she walked over to me.

"Hey, Veronica. Glad I could join," I smiled. 

"Where's Archie?" Veronica asked me. 

"Not sure. Thought he'd be here by now," I told her. 

"I'll check again at the door in a bit," Veronica tells me. 

"Well, you know Archie. Always fashionably late," I joked. Veronica chuckled at my joke. I smiled at her before walking over to the bar to grab a drink. 

After Josie's performance, I sat alone in a booth with a drink. It was nonalcoholic but it still was a drink. I was thinking about everything that was going on as I sat alone in the booth. 

"All alone?" I looked over to see Sweet Pea standing in front of me.

"What are you doing here, Sweet Pea? Also, I don't think I should be talking to you," I tell him.

"I just want to make amends. As in no more trying to win your heart again, no more fighting Beckham, no more hurting you," Sweet Pea explained to me. 

"How can I believe you?" 

"Guess there's only one way to find out," Sweet Pea said.

"Sweet Pea. After everything that happened between us, I think it's best if we just stopped," I tell him.

"Is that what you want?" Sweet Pea asked me. 

"Yeah. That's what I want," I nodded. 

"You know I got you those flowers right? During our performance in Heathers. I sent you the flowers," Sweet Pea told me.

"Thank you, Sweet Pea. But now, it's goodbye for us," I tell him. Sweet Pea nodded before walking off. I looked over at him.

"Goodbye Sweet Pea," I said. 

Once I got home, I walked up to my room to get ready to go to bed. However, when I opened the door, I saw candles lit and rose petals around. Beckham stood in the middle of my room with a poster. Soft music played as I stared at him in shock. 

"Will you light up my night at prom?" Beckham asked me. 

"Of course!" I smiled before walking up to him and giving him a kiss. 

"This isn't too cheesy is it?" Beckham asked me.

"No. It's perfect," I smiled at him. 

"The reason why I couldn't go to the benefit concert was because I was getting all this ready. Your dad let me in," Beckham told me.

"Well, it was pretty interesting over there," I tell him.

"What do you mean?" Beckham asked.

"I told Sweet Pea that we shouldn't be together anymore. As lovers or as friends," I explained. 

"So no more weird tension between you two?"

"Nope. I'm yours from now on. Just yours."

Beckham leaned in again to kiss me. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he kissed me. 

"I love you, Adeline," Beckham told me.

"I love you too."
