My Angel ~Chapter One~

As I walk down a lonely sidewalk in the middle of the night, I feel like I am being shook. I look down to see the earth falling into a dark abyss under me. I scream and frantically try to run away. The fissure follows me wherever I go and keeps getting larger and larger. Suddenly I feel the ground below me fade away and I begin to fall into the abyss below. I try to reach for the ground above me but, I can not reach it. I fear that there is no hope for me. Even with this thought in my head I still try to reach the ground, knowing very well that it is moving farther and farther away from me with every passing second.

Being a religious person, I begin to pray. I pray for myself. That I will be able to get out of this somehow but, I also pray for the people I know. That they won’t be sad for my sudden and unfortunate disappearance. With my eyes closed I pray these things.

All of a sudden, there is a brightness that blinds me and keeps my eyes closed and I feel someone hold me and lift me up. I try to see my savior by opening my eyes just enough to see their face. And there she was. The most beautiful angel I ever saw. She had eyes that were deep brown and the hair to match. Her wings were giant, almost as big as her. She was so warm and I wanted to close my eyes because I felt sheer bliss, yet her beauty kept me from doing so. I had never seen someone so... so... There were no words to describe such a magnificent person. It would take me months, maybe even years, to search the world dictionary to find the perfect word for such a perfect person.

At first glance, which was an amazing and long glance, I thought I had never seen her before, but after looking at her again, I realized that I do know her. She looked at me, almost like she was looking inside me, and smiled. It was the most beautiful smile in he world. After I saw her amazing smile, the wonderful scene started to fade to white. I opened my eyes to find out that, it was all a dream. I took my hands and covered my face. I didn’t cry, I wanted to but I didn’t. I just mourned that I couldn’t stay in that dream forever. I mourned at the fact that I couldn’t live that dream.

The girl that was the angel, that was Nikki. Her real name was Nicole, which was just as perfect as Nikki, but she preferred to be called Nikki. I hadn’t seen her in a while. The last time I saw her wondrous figure was when we went to Jessica’s birthday party. I didn’t know her until then.

Jessica lived next door to me and she had a birthday party and I was, of course, invited to come over. She invited some of her other friends and Nikki was one of them. She had just moved in that year. Jessica wasn’t the happiest of people and had a way to rub it off on people. I, somehow, was immune to that unhappiness. Which was odd because I was alone and unhappy but the way I portrayed my mood made it seem like I was very happy with my life. Boy was everyone wrong. I hated being alone. I knew that there was someone for me but I just couldn’t find her. I thought I wasn’t looking hard enough then, but then Nikki showed up at Jessica’s party.

My heart stopped when I first saw her. I thought she looked amazing. I asked Jessica, "Who’s she?" and Jessica replied with, "Oh, that’s Nikki. She moved here a little while ago." Right when she said "Nikki" my heart did a flip. Just to hear it again I told Jessica "Who?" she got a little irritated but replied in a normal tone but a little louder, "I said her name was Nikki." My heart then jumped around in my chest. Her name was so beautiful and she had the looks to make her name look like it wasn’t important. She was stunning, heart-stopping, other synonyms for completely gorgeous! Jessica, either noticing that I couldn’t speak for myself at the moment or was just being a good friend, introduced me to her. "Nikki, this is Adam.", she said. "Hey Adam", Nikki said to me. Her voice was heavenly. It felt like listening to an angel speak to you. I somehow formed the words "Hey Nikki" in a calm, normal voice. We hung out with Jessica and the other people who were at the party and became friends. We were the normal friends that didn’t see each other that much at all unless it was school related. Sadly, I never saw Nikki during school. So I haven’t seen her since Jessica’s birthday and it’s been a few months. I really wanted to see her beautiful face again.

I reluctantly got dressed and looked at the time. 6:33 AM. Crap. My bus comes in a few minutes. I ran downstairs after taking a couple dollars for lunch, said goodbye to my mom, and walked outside with my jacket in hand and a bookbag the school gave us over my shoulder. I met Jessica outside and said hi to her. She nodded at me and we heard the bus so we walked closer to the road and waited to for it to come up the road. It approached and we got on when it finally came to a stop.

The bus wasn’t the greatest ride but it was better than riding in my mom’s car. I asked my mom a few days ago if I could walk to school, seeing how it was only a few blocks from my house and I already walked home from school, and she told my that she would think about it. There’s a good possibility she forgot. Ugh. I guess I’ll remind her after school.

While riding the bus I just kept remembering the dream. Wishing that I could live it. Hoping someday, that it will come true. I stare out the window and keep thinking about my dream. Today seems like a good day... I hope.

~Sorry its long and a little sad. But it will get happier!! I promise!!~
