Chapter 5
It's the morning and Isabel is out by the lake.
Isabel: Alex. Alex. Alex, please I know you can hear me. I need to talk to you. Alex appears from behind a tree and Isabel turns around. Finally. Where were you?
Alex: Sorry, I was busy.
Isabel: You were busy?
Alex: Yes. As a dead guy I have responsibilities. Isabel tries not to laugh. Hey, it's not funny. I'm still human, just without the anatomy. That and I'm invisible to everyone else. You said you wanted to talk about something.
Isabel: Yea. You knew didn't you?
Alex: Knew what?
Isabel: That Kyle Valenti had feelings for me.
Alex: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Isabel: Come on Alex, yesterday you told me to cherish what I have. You were talking about Kyle and Michael weren't you? Alex says nothing. Why couldn't you tell me?
Alex: I was sworn to secrecy.
Isabel: By who? The man upstairs?
Alex: Not exactly. I was told by a higher rank of angels.
Isabel: So what am I supposed to do?
Alex: Just go with the flow.
Isabel: Go with the flow? That's all you have to say?
Alex: If you're looking for advice you're not going to get it. Isabel comes closer to Alex.
Isabel: Not even if I beg?
Alex: Nope. Isabel the only advice I can give you is to just follow your heart. You know it has never failed you before. The dreams maybe a vision of what is meant to be but you know what you have to do. Trust your instincts and just believe. Alex kisses Isabel. It's time for me to go. I love you Isabel. Isabel: I love you too Alex. Alex disappears. Max comes up to Isabel.
Max: Hey, you ready to go?
Isabel: Yea. So where's our next stop?
Max: Kettle Falls, Washington. It's a six hundred mile trip but it shouldn't take us long to get there. Iz nods. You okay? You seem a little off.
Isabel: I'm fine Max. I've just had a lot on my mind right now. Its nothing I want to talk about though.
Max: Okay, well in that case I won't force the issue. Come on, let's go.
