As time passed the group moved from area to area; it was not four years since Angel joined with the group; as time went on she slowly forgot about her old life; her heart felt lighter, but the thoughts of her and Jonathan still lingered.
Touching the necklace she felt the cold stone kiss her fingertips, sighing Angelina looked around the abandoned warehouse; where they were currently staying for the next few months.
"I need some air…" she whispered, getting up from the were out bed and up to the roof
It was midnight, the moon hung high in the sky, the stars shone above her head and a warm breeze circles around her body
"Jonathan…" she whispers, her arms hugging her body, "It's been four years…four years since that day….I remember the day….everything that happened….If Isabelle didn't force you into marriage….would you still be here by my side?"
Tears stream down her cheeks as her eyes close, she soon begins to sob quietly "Why does it still hurt…I miss you…so much…it hurts! If I knew how to bring one back I would have brought you back without second thoughts!" she yelled, looking towards the stars.
Falling to her knees she continued to cry her heart out, pouring all the emotions out, hoping the pain would decrease
"Angel?" a hushed voice whispered, turning quickly she saw Rix standing there; a worried expression upon his face, "What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing" she whispers, wiping her cheeks missing the tears
"Yeah, right" he says, walking over and helps her stand, "Tell me what's wrong…I know you hardly trust us right now, but please trust me with your thoughts" he spoke softly, wiping Angel's tears away,
"It's been years since I last saw you cry…the last time was when you're parents took you away from us…you were so sad about it, but mainly because you were leaving Kate and I…maybe more of me than Kate"
"What do you mean?" she whispered
"Not all your memories are back huh…" he chuckled sadly; he lifts his hand and shows a silver bracelet with an 'A' charm attached "When we were younger, about four years old…my mother bought us these silver bracelets with each other's initial before she died…she told me that if we ever were separated these bracelets would bring us back together…but that was also when she thought we were going to date each other" a small smile rested upon his lips.
Angel stared at the bracelet only to see half of the chain was a tad rusty along with the charm, "It's alright, I still found you even without your half…"
"It must have melted in the locked box from my old home, from the fire…"
"It's fine…" Rix noticed the blue gem around her neck and gently lifted it "This is pretty, boyfriend?"
Angel's heart tightened a bit "Well…when he was still alive…"
"Oh god I'm so sorry, I didn't mean-"
"It's alright, it's been four years…I should be over it by now"
"Here" Rix said, hugging her around her shoulders; Angel was hesitate but soon hugged him around the waist.
Would it be wrong of me….to fall in love again? Even though it's been four years… she wondered
"We all are here for you, if you ever need a shoulder to cry on…"
Angel nodded against his chest, mumbling a soft 'thank you'
Resting his chin on her head Rix closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment.
"Hey love birds!" Tristan's voice booms loudly, making the two pull away, "Ha! I was kidding"
"Damn you Tristan; that was not funny" Rix said with a roll of his eyes
"Yeah, yeah" Tristan said hugging Angel "I know I'll get kicked for this, but you are so small!" and as predicted Angel kicked him in the shin only causing him to laugh.
"Come on, we need to sleep, at lunch we are going to go sight-seeing here"
"Well I was raised here for two years"
"Whatever, none of us was born in Washington State" Tristan said with a glare, "Besides, two years isn't enough…"
Tristan placed his arms around Angel and Rix before the three walked back down to the main hall way with their rooms.
"See you guys in a few hours"
"Buona notte Tristan" Angel says with a short wave
"I'll walk you to dragon girl's room" Angel rolled her eyes and walked with him to the end of the hall
"Good night Angelina…sleep well" he says, patting her head and looks at her with a soft expression; she stares back before he breaks contact and walks to his and Seth's room.
Quietly closing the door Angelina was tackled to the ground, seeing blue hair she knew who it was "Che cazzo Runo?"
"What was all of that hmm?" she questioned, the two girls face to face
"Hey you two, keep the fuckin' noise down!" Kate yelled, tossing in her sleep
"I must be on Runo's side on this" Sam's voice spoke softly as she appears in the room and sits on her knees near Runo and Angel, smiling.
"What are you guys talking about?"
"You and Rix, I saw you two walking together past our room, what is between you two? Hmm?" Runo asks wiggling her eyebrows in a teasing manner
"Caro Dio mi salva ..." Angel mumbled
"Hey answer the question!"
"Shut the fuck up guys!"
Runo and Sam giggle before asking again quietly for Kate
"Nothing is between us…I went to the roof for some air…I had a lot on my mind…" she said sitting up, causing Runo to sit in her lap; she takes her necklace off and stares at the gem, as if it held the answer to her question from earlier
"Well, whatever it is we are always here for you, okay?" Runo said before hugging her tightly along with Sam
"Grazie Runo, Sammy" Angel said hugging them back.
Soon the three girls went to their respective beds and two of them fell asleep immediately; Angelina stayed up a bit longer, thinking about her past memories, trying to recollect her memories from her child hood, but no such luck
Maybe I will never get them back...but at least I have them in my life
Her thoughts wandered until she fell asleep, feeling more relaxed than ever since the incident exactly four years ago.
