LUCE'S POV
Luce stared at her without breathing or moving. Suddenly, all of her muscles had become tense. She couldn't believe this was happening. Did Nora really know? Or was she talking about something else? If she did know, how had she found out? No one had ever found out about Daniel! Luce and him were always so careful with letting this kind of information leak…
Nora was still looking at her. "Wha-what are you talking about?"
Nora looked around, she wasn't enjoying this either. "You know… About the fallen angel stuff….Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone."
That's it, they were screwed. "How did you find out about this?" Luce was whispering. She couldn't find any strength to speak louder.
Nora sighed. "Patch told me."
Luce nodded slowly. "And how does he know?"
Nora took a long time to speak. It seemed like she was choosing exactly what words to use. When she spoke, it looked like she was being stabbed by every word that came out of her mouth. "Because… He's a fallen angel too."
Luce hadn't been waiting for this. She almost fell off her chair. "What?"
Nora nodded. "Yeah, but it seems Daniel's famous and all, that's why Patch recognized him."
Luce put her head in her hands. How could this be happening? "This is crazy… All this time and we've both been dating fallen angels." Her eyes met Nora's.
"Yeah…" Nora sighed and tapped Luce's shoulder. "I'm sorry about that whole curse and all…" She knew about that too? What didn't Nora know about her?
"Um…Thanks… "Luce still couldn't believe it. "I'm sorry, it's just that this is really overwhelming."
"I know. It took me some time to process everything too. But the good thing is; we can talk about things we cannot talk with anyone else." Nora smiled.
It seemed like Nora had spent a lot of time thinking about this, she didn't look surprised or even shaken by the whole situation. Luce imagined Nora not being able to sleep because she was thinking of how to break the news to Luce.
What about Vee?, she thought. Hadn't Nora told her? "Vee doesn't know?"
Nora's eyes widened. "I can't tell her! She would freak out."
Luce laughed and looked out of the window. "Yeah, she would." It was a whisper, but she knew Nora had heard it, because she was smiling.
Luce knew exactly how she felt. She could never tell her friends about Daniel either, they would never understand.
Maybe this was a good idea. Luce always wanted someone she could talk to who was in the same situation as her. Of course, Nora was not going to die if she kissed Patch but still, she understood what Luce was going through. She had found someone she could be totally honest with, and she couldn't be happier.
NORA'S POV
Nora woke up, opened her eyes and looked around. Luce was still asleep, she had spent the night over after a long night of talking about the pros and cons about dating a fallen angel. They had a great time. Nora couldn't talk about these things with Vee and she was glad she could do it with Luce. Vee! Nora had completely forgotten about her since the party… Was she still mad at her? There was only one way to find out.
She got off the bed, put her flip flops on and walked silently to the nightstand to pick her phone up. She looked at the screen. 9 missed calss. Well, she wasn't mad at her. Good. She tiptoed out of the room, giving Luce one last look before she left to the hallway, still asleep. Good. She descended the stairs and went to the porch. When she made sure Luce wouldn't wake up with the noise, she called Vee.
She picked up after the first tone. "BABE! Where have you been?" She sounded excited.
Nora smiled. "Sorry Vee! I was a little busy…"
She cut her off. "Never mind. Nora, I can't remember anything about Marcie's party."
"Anything? Like, nothing?"
"Well, there are some things I remember, but they are not clear at all… Did I make out with someone?"
Should she tell her? "Um… You…"
Before Nora could decide what to tell her, Vee cut her off, again. "Oh my God, I totally did! Was he hot? Please tell me he was!"
"Yeah, he was… But he didn't seem very…"
"I can not believe this! I think remember what he looked like! It's all coming back to me! I need to find out who this guy is. Even if it is the last thing I do! I'm gonna gave to call you back babe. See you at school!"
Damn. She was going to remember him. What if she finds him? What if they start going out? Nora didn't know why she felt like that, she had always wanted for Vee to be happy, but Nora hadn't liked this guy. Something about him was off.
Nora got back into the house only to find Luce at the top of the stairs staring at her with a worried face.
"There you are!" She said as she descended the stairs two steps at a time. "You almost killed me, do you know that? I thought you had… I don't know! Jesus Christ!" She hugged Nora.
Nora laughed. "It's okay! I was just outside calling Vee."
Luce pulled away. "And what did she say? Is she still mad at you?"
"No, she couldn't remember anything that happened…"
"That's good then. Right?"
"I guess so… But now she thinks she's starting to remember. I don't want her with him. I didn't like anything about that boy."
"I wished I had seen her. But why don't you trust her in this? I bet she knows what's best for her and sometimes all you need is a friend to be there for you."
No, she didn't trust Vee at all with this. But she was not going to tell Luce that. It'd onky start a discussion and Nora wanted to forget about that stupid boy."Yeah, maybe you're right. So, what do you want for breakfast?"
Sorry it took me so long to update! But chapter 8 is finally here. I hope you like it! :)
Something tells me we're going to find out who's the guy Vee made out with in the next chapter! ;)
