CHAPTER 1; SPARKLERS
The air shifts fast around me and the grass tickle my legs.
I really hope the weather is different for you. I hope you're drowning somewhere – maybe in hell – and you find yourself miserable without me. I really hope a thunderstorm is upon you or I really expect a rainy cloud following you wherever you go. There's no way I can accept you went to heaven. You didn't deserve it, and I've prayed too much, not for your benefit, but mine.
This letter I'm holding right here is especially for you. I don't know what I'm doing here in the first place. My younger sister believes that this place is magical for some reason, she points out that I should send all my feelings in just one letter.
"Just do it Jones. You have nothing to lose, right?" I smirk for myself, there's a hint of irony, and yeah, I have nothing to lose. I lost it already.
But why a letter? Can't I just scream "fuck you" in the middle of nowhere like those extra-cheesy romantic movies?
I try to find someone around, I think I'm lost and I don't know where I am. I'm surrounded by trees. I sneak around until I hear the echo of someone mumbling. I run in the direction of the sound and I have to stop myself when I see a frame of my size a few meters ahead.
The figure is apparently a blond guy, with a brown backpack and brown dyed mountain shorts. A simple white t-shirt and a black vest.
"Hey!" I shout, he turns around and opens his eyes so widely, but he stands there, waiting for me to approach him.
"Y-Yeah?" He stutters. When I'm just a meter away from him, I can see his brown eyes, such a warm chocolate color. When I see them I can feel myself drown and remembering of that daily coffee I have to drink every morning so I can get the energies to keep on with the day.
"I think I'm lost, I'm supposed to leave this" and I raise the envelope with the letter inside "but I don't see anywhere I can leave it"
He raises an eyebrow and points a metal red box. It's so old that the paint is barely even red, mixing with brown tones.
"Oh, thanks" I smile and let the envelope fall inside.
"You're welcome" he says turning around and walking ahead.
"Wait!" I raise my voice, he looks at me and waiting for me to say something. "I'm lost, are you going to the city?"
He shakes his head with a serious expression.
"No, sorry, I don't live here" And walks again.
"Where do you live then?" I ask, frowning.
"Not here" he simply says.
"I'm Danny" I smile again, hoping he gives me a smile back, but instead he nods with indifference.
"Tom. Now if you excuse me I gotta go" and the only thing I can see is his blond hair with brown strokes all over it. I bit my lip and follow him, I'm afraid I won't find my way back home and at least I can follow him so I can find the road again.
"I'll go with you" I run until we're next to each other. The wind has turned cold and I didn't bring a sweater or my favorite hoodie. I curse in silence and look at him, even though he's using a vest he might be freezing too.
"You can't" he says after a while, I drown again in those sparkly eyes and think to myself that they're actually beautiful.
"Why not?" I'm surprised I feel a bit disappointed for not being able to be his companion.
"I don't live here, we're not going the same way"
"But I just want to find the road again"
"You won't if you keep walking with me" And I feel someone punching my chest, that was so rude.
"Why not?" I wonder again.
He looks exasperated and looks up, I look up too, searching for something but the sky is clean, no clouds, no birds, nothing. He bits his lip and touches the strips of his backpack.
"I'm an angel"
I don't know why but I start laughing so hard that my laughter echoes the place, I don't know if this guy just went mad or is tricking me to just stay away from him.
"Okay, angel, I'm still walking with you"
"I'm being serious, Jones" I stop giggling, how did he know my last name?
"How did you know my last name?" I murmur, a bit scared, and walk a few steps back, not standing too close to him.
"I told you I'm an angel" he says serious again.
"If you don't want me to walk with you just say it, don't need to freak me out"
"God, why?" and he looks up again.
I try to not believe that he's talking with Him. I look up and ask the same question, I just want to find the way back home. But I'm stuck with this blond boy in the middle of nowhere. I follow him with my eyes when he sounds alarmed and goes back to where the metal red box was and opens it, taking out all the letters inside.
"Hey, hey!" I shout, noticing how my letter travels from the red box to his backpack, which is now open and full of envelopes in different colors. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"I'm taking them, I need to deliver them as soon as possible"
I stand beside him and raise my hands to stop him.
"Wait, wait, wait, where the hell are you going, give me my letter back!"
"No, you said you needed to give it to Bryan"
I freeze in front of him and look at him incredulously, I get mad and forget to ask how the hell did he know about Bryan.
"Fuck off, would you? Now give me my letter back" I threat him. Taking his backpack and searching for my letter.
"Don't you realize I'm really an angel, Danny?"
"No, I realize you're mental" I say stirring everything.
I feel his hand on my shoulder and I shake it off. Looking confused and feeling my heart jumping inside my chest.
"Fly." I whisper. If there's a reason why I'm asking it, it's because I'm so close to believe him and those insane words. My expression goes from scared to serious and I hold his eyes while I wait, resting my body weight in one leg and then on another.
"What?" He frowns his stupid and funny eyebrows, looking confused and adorable.
"I said, fly. If you're an angel you must fly or levitate or do something unbelievable to a pair of human eyes"
"God" he mumbles frustrated, but giving up at the end. "Okay, close your eyes"
"I'm not stupid, you know?"
"Close your eyes, Jones!" I shiver when he says my name. And forcedly I close my eyes, seeing nothing, but feeling his hand in front of my face waving, proving that I'm not watching him.
I wait five seconds until I feel him taking his backpack away from my hand and then the grass moving. My eyes are wide open when I notice him running away.
"Come back here, god damn it!" I curse out loud when I start running in the same direction. I feel the trees moving with the wind and our gravity passing through. My legs get stuck a few times with some branches along the way. I almost fall one or two times, and for running to fast, my cheek gets scratched.
I run faster when I see him closer. When it's barely a few steps away from me I jump over him and knock him down. I feel the grass stroking my hands when I turn his body to face mine.
"You fucking liar, give me my letter back, you thief!" I take the backpack but he's fighting with me for it. When I'm almost taking it away and I hear the other envelopes falling to the ground and all over him I hear him groan.
"Danny, listen, listen!" He repeats but I don't believe him after what he did.
"Angel my ass" I answer.
"Your name is Danny Jones, you have a younger sister named Marion, she's four years younger than you, you're twenty four now and you love playing the guitar but you never studied music even though you know you're amazing at it" he breathes "you don't believe in sending letters and/or this magical place like your sister said but you came anyway, maybe because you're furious with that Bryan you're upset with!"
I stop forcing him to shut up when I feel my chest tired and heavy for being so angry. I take my hands away from him and his backpack. I rest my weight on his body. I can't believe or I don't want to believe all of what he said.
An angel? Really? Why? Aren't angels supposed to be dressed in white and with wings in their backs? Aren't mostly of them kids and not guys? At least I would believe him if he had blue eyes, it'd make sense since heaven is supposed to be white and blue, such pacific colors. And not brown, amazingly disturbing eyes like his.
"How did you know? Who told you?" I take his vest with my hands and shake him furiously.
"I told you! I'm an angel!" He shouts scared.
I remain breathing heavy and harshly looking at those chocolate eyes, I can't believe it and I won't believe it. What the hell just happened?
