My Little Angel
Prologue- Torn Hearts
As a young girl, Elli had played with Jay, a young boy visiting the old man's farm. She wore her black hair in shoulder-length braids, and her sparkling brown eyes reflected her mood. She wore a red dress with a fancy beading along the top.
"Hi Jay! What do you want to do today?" Just 2 days ago, this mysterious boy had shown up out of nowhere.
Unable to resist an invitation to play, Jay replied, "Lets go play hide-and-seek on the big mountain!"
"You mean Mother's Hill?" Elli asked questioningly. Jay laughed.
"Whatever."
For two weeks, Jay and Elli spent every free moment together.
One sunny day, Elli showed up to find the old man leaving the farm with Jay and what had to be his family.
"Where are you going?" Elli demanded, but her heart already knew.
"I have to go home." Jay said quietly. She pulled Jay to the side.
"Come back! You have to!" Elli ordered.
"I'll try, but my parents have to let me." Jay said doubtfully.
"If you come back for me, I'll give you my..Uh..How does it go? Oh yeah. I'll give you my foot in marriage." Elli said, taking off her sandal and wiggling her toes.
Jay made a face. "Eww! You can keep your foot. Here, take this photo." Hurriedly, Jay stuffed a picture of the two of them into Elli's hands.
Jay pecked her on the cheek. "I'll come back. Please, wait for me."
Tears clouded Elli's eyes. "I will. I promise. Or I'll cut off my foot." She added brightly.
She began to cry again as she watched Jay leave on the only ferry headed back to the city.
Jay watched her, tears stinging his eyes too. Jay glanced at the picture, his only memory of the beautiful girl who had brought him everything he had ever wanted.
Jay began to pray, every night, that he would see Elli again. He even wrote their names on the back of the photo, which he framed.
As he got older, Jay even went as far as to call Elli his 'little angel.'
