Mi ángel

All Adrian could think about was the fact that she was alone. Of course the feeling wasn't new to her. She had always felt alone, from the time that her father had left her, and her mother had consistently left her alone to go to various jobs, she had been alone. But this feeling was worse somehow. There was something that clenched at her heart but she couldn't really understand what it was.

The pain was unbearable. There were a million thoughts swimming through her mind. She was thinking back to her very first year of high-school. She wished so badly that she could go back and do everything differently, but at the same time she wondered if she really would have done anything different. She could tell herself that she would not have been involved with Ricky, but no matter how much pain she had gone through, she had felt love for the first time in a long time, and to erase that completely well, she didn't know if she would ever want to do that.

Sure, Ricky had hurt her. But that feeling wasn't new to her either. She had been hurt and disappointed way before Ricky ever came into her life. It was just another blow to the stomach for her, but in the end it only made her stronger. She knew that she would not have regretted meeting Ben either. Ben was and would always be her best friend. She regretted having sex with him but not because it was Ben, but because of the reason behind her action. It was unfair for her to seduce him when she knew that she was still in love with Ricky. In the end she got what she kept telling herself she deserved, a beautiful angel taken away from her - Mercy.

She didn't regret getting to know Amy either, despite the fights they got into. Every person she had met during high-school and during her first year of college served some type of purpose in her life. She was happy to have met Dante, and Omar. Although Dante hurt her by just taking off, she would have never met Omar if he hadn't, and regardless of how things had ended between the two of them, she was convinced that he had made her love again. After everything that happened with her and Ben, she didn't know if she could ever be truly happy and Omar had changed that. But even he left her...

She sighed as she grew more comfortable on her couch, "It's ok to be alone." If she was alone she could never be hurt again right?

A knock on her door pulled her out of her thoughts and she sighed as she got up to go answer it. In all honesty she didn't want to be bothered. She checked through the peep hole first, secretly hoping that it was just some salesman so that she could go sit back down and wallow in self pity. But when she looked through the peep hole she saw someone that she had not seen for many years and she felt her eyes widen.

After all these years, she still remembered his face, his beautiful green eyes and messy brown hair that was extremely short probably due to the cancer treatment. Though he looked much more mature now, she knew exactly who it was. She opened the door almost too quickly, and she could imagine herself leaping into his arms, but she didn't do any of that, instead she just stood there.

She felt everything in her body shaking, and her lips trembled as she muttered his name. Her eyes grew watery as she looked at him, "...Antonio?"

He found himself smiling at Adrian. Happy could not describe how he felt. He was thrilled, overwhelmed with emotions, but he had to remain calm. He smiled at her, "I missed you Adrian, a lot."

His voice had gotten a little deeper, but she could still clearly recognize who he was. She found herself hugging him almost too tightly, and then she cried into his shoulder, and he rubbed her back in smooth small circles, "Is crying a sign that you're happy to see me too?" He chuckled to ease the mood, and she found herself laughing at this, though her laughs came out extremely shaky.

"I-I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything right now Adrian. I'm just really happy to see you."

When she let go of him she started laughing again, and as she wiped away her tears she let him inside. She still couldn't believe that he was standing in front of her right now. She never thought that she would see Antonio again. None of it made sense to her. She thought that he was...She shook that thought of her head, he was clearly alive. She was staring at him right now. There were so many questions swimming through her brain, and she was almost too eager to ask them. But she let the two of them relax before they got into any serious issues.

So I really thought that something like this was going to happen on the last episode. When they said an unexpected visitor I just assumed that Adrian was going to be greeted by someone that was actually unexpected. But nope, it was just Omar. Not that I mind Omar, though he has his flaws, but I just really thought it was would be someone who surprised me. Anyway this will most likely be a two-shot unless I get the idea to write more than that (I'm pretty bad with chapter stories though so that probably won't happen). Thanks so much for reading! I really appreciate it.
