Angel" he whispered to himself in the background of a dark and gloomy cemetary late on a saturday night. There were tears streaming down the boys face and blood was running down his hand from the thorns of the rose he gripped. Even as the night got darker he sat contemplating the events that brought her to rest in her grave. Still even now one month after the series of tragic events that took place swinging this whole story into action seem like a blur to him. The reality he faced was that his nightmare is reality and he still hopes in his heart that someday he might still wake up from this hell he calls life.
Chapter 1
The Start of it All
Its still hard to decipher the truth from myths that took place that day because no one knows the real story. Half of it was made up by some High school kids. Anyways as the story goes there was this kid named Jesse, now this was basically every girl's dream guy. Athletic, tall, smart, and loving are jus some of the amazing qualities that he had. He was well liked around school, you know the guy everyone wanted to be friends with, but even though he had plenty of friends he was still dying inside. Jesse came from a broken down family, his mom died when he was seven, his dad remarried seven times since then and developed a severe drinking problem. He never quite forgave his dad for remarrying so fast after his mom died, and i guess that accounts for his strong hate for him now, but i should get on with the story. It was any other school day he was depressed but put on a face to make everyone smile. He was in Chemistry when it happened, her name was Angel, she had black hair, blue eyes, and a smile that could lift him up or destroy him depending on how she used it. The teacher told her to sit in the empty seat next to Jesse. As she neared him his heart raced faster and faster. She laid eyes on him and you could tell that there was love at first site.
"hey im Angel, and im new if you were wondering" she said as she sat down.
"hi" he said back not knowing what to do he was so nervous.
"well are you gonna tell me your name or just stare at the floor?"
"oh sorry, my names Jesse." he was doing his best to try to kill the awkward silence that followed because neither of them knew what to say. "Angel...i have to tell you i love that name."
"ehh i guess its okay no ones ever told me they really liked it before." she said with a despondent laugh.
"well...i think it fits you perfectly." Jesse said while fiddling with a pen in his hands.
"how so?" she asked.
"its just your the most beautiful girl i've ever seen and i just think a beautiful name goes with a beautiful girl." SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT those were the words goin through his mind right then you fucking idiot now she’s gonna think your some kind of creep telling her you thinks shes beautiful only after meeting her five minutes ago! good going dumbass!
"Thank you!" she said
"you dont think that was creepy at all do you?" he asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Not at all, im just so happy you think im beautiful because....i...i...oh never mind..." she said with the lack of courage she wished she had to ask him.
"what is it, you can tell me." he said
"well its just that im supposed to go to this concert tonight and i have a extra ticket but i don’t know anyone here yet, and id be a waste of a perfectly good ticket if i just threw it out and well..." she kept going on wishing she had enough courage to just flat out ask him .
"id love to" he said while she was still thinking of what to say in her head. She stopped looked at him and smiled at him, this moment would stay with him forever because its the moment when he found true love of which he never expected to find so close to home. "so what time is it?"
"its at seven at the shelter, I'll meet you at the door alright?" she said this with the most happy tone she could possibly produce.
"i cant wait till then" he said and he truly meant it.. The bell started to ring…
“I guess I’ll see you later tonight?” she said with a whimsical smile on her face.
“I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” He said with a smile as he walked away.
Chapter 2
The So Almost Perfect Night
It was almost six o’clock and Jesse was running late, he opened his closet and he realized all his clothes were dirty except his old Bright Eyes shirt so he donned it, put on some axe, grabbed his keys, and ran out the door. Jesse had just bought a 1967 GTO from his neighbor who gave it to him for a relatively cheap price seeing as the car was in mint condition. He opened the door, started the car, and was on his way to what seemed like the best night in his life. He decided to listen to some Brand New on the way over he finally decided on the song Seventy Times Seven to listen to. It was six fifty, he had ten minutes to spare which was a good thing to him. He turned round the corner and saw her standing there he smiled. Jesse came up to an intersection, the light was green so he went, but the drunk driver going the other way didn’t notice that his light was red. Jesse’s whole world went black and he said he didn’t remember much of what happened or how loud he was screaming as the car door went into his arm and leg. He slipped into a coma for 48 hours. When he woke up the doctors would tell him that a drunk driver who had lost his job earlier in the day after working for thirty years went to the pub. There he had a few too many shots and then took off in his car, and by the time he was at the intersection he was going a good 85 mph. Jesse didn’t care about these facts he was just happy he somehow survived with only a broken arm, fractured leg, and some internal bleeding.
A few days after the accident when a nurse came in to check in on him he got curious and asked.
“Excuse me nurse? Has there been anyone in my room beside my parents while I was in a coma or whatever it was?”
“Umm…I believe there was a pretty brunette girl, she stayed by your side until you started to wake up”
Jesse only asked this because he remembered that he heard a voice while he was in his coma. He followed this voice and when he found it he woke up. It was the most lovingly heartwarming voice he had ever heard and he just wanted to be near it.
A week passed and the doctors said he was finally allowed to have visitors again. It was early on a Saturday and he woke up to the sounds of a beautiful voice singing. When he first heard it he thought he drifted off to heaven in his sleep but when he opened his eyes he soon saw that although hearing this voice was as close to heaven as he would get it was good enough for him. While he was thinking this she turned around and noticed he was awake.
“Hey there.” she said. Jesse looked at her and tried his best to smile which was hard to do with all the pain killers he was on.
“hey.” He tried saying more then that but that’s all he could manage.
“Jesse…”
“yea…” he said
“I want to say im sorry for causing all of this, and that if I knew this would happen I would of never invited you.” As she said this she started to cry.
Jesse looked at her and said. “Baby, its not your fault.” She looked at him with he tears dripping down her face.
“yes it is im the reason you got in the car and were on the road…and...” she told him as she looked like she wanted to die.
“it was my decision to drive, and you had no more control then I did over the man who hit me. Its not your fault so dry your tears.” When he said this she smile which she didn’t believe she would ever do at the moment.
