Angel Love
Chapter 9: Finding Love
Fang POV
I was quick to escape Chloe. I could see she was itching to slap me.
I jumped into my car, shoved the keys into the ignition and started the engine. There was a sudden vibrate in my left pocket. I reached into it and pulled out my phone. Aunty Vicki. I pressed the green button and put the phone on my ear.
"Hello?"
"Hey Ryan, sorry to call you. I just need you to pick up Juliet from the history museum. I am going to be late home tonight".
"Sure thing." Good Vicki isn't home, I thought, more time to spend with Max.
There was a pause. Long enough for me to think that the line had cut out. "Hello?"
"Yeh I'm still here."
"Umm, ok. Sure I'll pick up Nu-I mean Juliet."
There was another pause. "Ryan, are you feeling ok."
"Yeh, I'm cool." Especially now that I have realized I am in love with an angel, but I left that out. "Why?"
I could imagine Vicki shrugging. "I don't know it's just well, you have been acting differently for the past couple of days," she half whisper. She then quickly added, "In a good way. I just… I don't know."
I waited until she had defiantly stopped speaking. "Yeh, I am ok. So I'll just pick up Nudge?"
"Yes. Bye Ryan."
"See yah."
I hung up and reversed my car. I found it strange that my maths teacher asked weather I was feeling ok. I am feeling fine. Actually I was feeling better than fine. Happy. Enthralled. Safe. In love. I have suddenly realized that this is what it's like being in love. And it is the most magnificent feeling I have ever felt. I wouldn't want it any other way.
The drive to the museum was quick and I recoded that I caught more green lights than red. Not that I was counting. I was actually trying to count how long it would take for Nudge and I to get home to Nudge.
I parked quickly and killed the engine. I opened my door and stood up gazing around the museum car park. Nudge was leaning against the large Iron Gate, kicking a rock of some kind. Other kids ran past her out to their parents. One kid bumped into Nudge and made her stumble a bit. The kid didn't even turn around and say sorry.
I felt this little twang in the centre of my chest. It hurt. I had never felt it before. Pain. Maxes first word. It was hurting for Nudge. I suddenly got a glimpse of what Nudges word must be like.
I thought back to the times I would find her laying on her bed crying, but I would walk away. I thought about the times she would come up to me and give me a hug, but I would shove her off. I thought about the times she would come up to me and ask if I could help her get her books off the bike shed, but I would ignore her.
I suddenly got a glimpse of what having no-one was like. I suddenly got a glimpse on why Nudge would annoy me so much. She needed me. She needed me to say that I was there for her.
I walked across the car park towards her, hands in my pockets. She stared at the rocks she was kicking. As I walked closer I noticed the small single tears leaking from her eyes. When she heard me she looked up and rubbed her eyes, trying to hide her tears.
I smiled at her.
Nudge smirked back.
Nudge reached down to grave her bag, but I was there first. I hitched it over my shoulder easily. Nudge gave me a odd expression, but I just held out my hand. Nudge hesitantly took it without a word. I felt her small warm hand wrap around mine. I held it protectively.
I realize that Love comes in many forms.
The traffic light turned red. I slowed to a stop. Nudge sat in the passenger seat, not saying a word. Well not saying anything until now.
"Ryan, are you alright?"
I throw my hands in the air and brought them back on the wheel. "What is it with people and asking if I am ok? First my maths teacher, then Vic, now you!"
Nudge smirked. "Well… lately you have been changing into a… nicer Fang."
I gave her a look.
Nudge shrugged. "True".
I sighed and turned my eyes back on the road. The light switched to green and I drove slowly. "I broke up with Chloe today," I whispered.
Nudge basically jumped in her seat. "You FINALLY broke up with the Witch?!"
I pointed my finger at Nudge as I looked at glanced at her quickly. "For the last time, Chloe is not a Witch. I just… don't feel the same way any more."
There was silence. I concentrated on the road, until I heard Nudge gasp and whisper.
"Oh… My… God."
I frowned. "What."
A smile creped up on Nudges face. "You're in love with Max."
I almost crashed the car. How Nudge knew I don't know. I was trying to say something that could lead her off, but I was too late. Nudge knew instantly by my hesitation.
"I KNEW IT!"
"Ok, Nudge calm down."
"I knew it, I knew it…"
"Enough Nudge."
"I knew it, I knew it…"
"Nudge, stop rubbing it in!"
Nudge was smiling like you wouldn't believe. I was happy to see her smiling again.
I sighed, "Yes I am in love with Max and when I knew, I broke up with Chloe. Happy?"
Nudge shock her head. "I knew it; I knew it from the beginning."
I gave her a confused look. "What do you mean, from the beginning?"
Nudge looked at me dreamily and battered her eyelids. "Just by the way you looked at her. It was so… intense. I was really happy for you."
I punched her lightly in the shoulder, but I couldn't help but smile. Amazingly though, Nudge sounded older when she said that. Wiser. I smiled at the memory. Could I have fallen for Max a first sight? Could I have fallen in love at the instant I saw her?
Nudge continued. "But Ryan, this is going to be hard for both of you. Firstly, you are both two whole different species. The most obvious difference is that… well she can fly and you… can't. And secondly, Max probably doesn't even know what love is."
I couldn't let her get away with that one. "Nudge, not matter what Max is to me, I will always love her. Ok, that sounds incredibly corny, but it's the truth. I love Max not matter what she is or I am. As far as Max not knowing what love is… I guess we are going to have to tell her."
Nudge nodded. I looked back at the road. It was beginning to rain. The small patter smoothed the happy silence. It was nice.
We drove a little longer and the rain was getting heavier by the minute. I had to really concentrate to be able to see. When we turned down our empty street I first noticed the white feathers.
I slowed the car down and stopped it in the centre of the street. My heart began to race at the sight of them.
"Oh, no," Nudge whispered as I slowly climbed out of the car and into the rain.
I closed the door behind me and walked over to the front of the car. I bent down and slid my fingers under a small white downing feather. (A/N for those who don't know, downing feathers are a chick's soft fluffy feathers)
Angel.
"Angel!" I shouted through the rain as I ran towards my house. I sprinted like you wouldn't believe. My heart was full of fear and gilt. Fear of what might have caused Angel's feather to come out and gilt that I wasn't there to save them.
I barraged the side gate open. At first it wouldn't move. The second time I did it the gate swung open. I raced across the path. My wet hair stuck to my face, but I shook it off. I could hear my heart beating through my ears.
As I rounded the corner to face the garden I couldn't help but stop and gasp at the sight.
