And I Swear, Angel Was There

Mimi's POV

I was heading for this, bright, white light. It was warm, and welcoming. I wanted so badly to go towards it, and be rid of all the pain. But I couldn't leave him behind. I hadn't seen him in forever. I needed him, and I think he needed me. I didn't want to leave him, but I did. My eyes closed, and soon I could feel the light's warmth overcoming me.

"Mimi chica."

My eyes snapped open. It was her. My best friend. "Angel?"

She laughed, flashing me her famous bright smile. "I've missed you," she told me.

She looked amazing. A sparkling white, silk dress with a tight, lacy bodice hung on her body perfectly. She had what looked like glass slippers on, and her nails were painted a light sky blue. A pair of large, glittering pearl wings were set on her back. Soft, chestnut curls framed her face. She ran up to me and wrapped me in a hug. "I missed you too," I said. I placed one of her curly locks in between my fingers, "Real?" I asked her.

Angel nodded excitedly, "Fabulous, right?"

I laughed, "Yeah."

Then Angel's face dropped, "Mimi, honey. You can't stay here."

"What? Why…?" I asked. I had just gotten here. Here, where there was no pain, and no sadness. And I hadn't seen Angel in months.

Angel smiled sadly. "Turn around girlfriend," she said, placing her hands on my shoulders. "And listen to that boy's song."

I turned around. I could hear him. I could hear his wails of sorrow, his song. The song that he wrote for me. And instantly, I knew I couldn't stay here anymore. I couldn't leave him, not yet.

I looked at Angel sadly, "Okay," I said, taking a deep breath.

"Tell Collins' I love him," she said. And with that, she disappeared.

"Angel?" I called out into the white abyss. But there was no answer. Then, I saw something coming towards me. The moon. The moon was hurdling towards me at a lightning speed. Right when impact should have happened, I felt a rushing sensation underneath me. I opened my eyes, only to realize I was flying above it! I was jumping over the moon!

And just like that, I felt the air returning into my lungs, and I regained feeling in my fingertips. Electricity filled my body, and I regained consciousness. Roger was hunched over me, sobbing. He looked up, "Mimi?" he asked.

"I jumped over the moon!" I exclaimed. Everyone looked at me with a mix of confusion and relief. "I was heading towards this warm, white light. And I swear, Angel was there," I said. A smile broke out on Collins' face when I mentioned his love. "And she looked good! And she said, 'Turn around girlfriend, and listen to that boy's song.'"

XOXO

Collins' POV

She did it. She managed to save her best friend, thus giving us all a Christmas present. And she gave me an anniversary present.

She's still looking out for us, watching over us, my Angel. God, I love her so much. I miss her. I really, really miss her.
