Peyton saw Warren run out the front door and look up her flying towards him. He had tears streaming down his face but was smiling and laughing. When she flew down into the yard she put Hailey down and ran up to Warren. She leaped onto him and hugged him crying into his shoulder.
Warren held her tight, never wanting to let her go again. He could hardly believe she was here in his arms, he didn't care about anything else. He didn't care that his father work colleague could probably see them. He didn't even care that the woman who had helped kidnap Peyton and stopped him from saving her was standing there in the front yard with them. All that mattered to him was that his precious Peyton was there with him.
"I thought I would never see you again" Warren said still holding her tight up against him.
"I'm so sorry Angel" Peyton whispered "I'm so, so sorry"
"It doesn't matter, I love you so much" he said.
"No, it does matter" She said taking her face "I-"
Before she could go on Warren kissed her then looked at her and said "We'll talk about it later ok?" Peyton nodded and kissed him back.
"Peyton!" Billy called out as he ran out the front door "Thank God you're ok!"
Peyton let go of Angel and hugged her brother. Warren hated having to let her go but felt happier than ever when she let go of Billy and returned to his arms.
"Wait! Isn't this bitch one of those people who took you?" Billy said pointing at Hailey.
"No!" Peyton said "Well, yes, but she isn't bad. She helped me escape"
"Then what were you doing with those assholes if you're not one of them?" Billy said trying to control his temper.
"I have been undercover for a man named Xavier. He found out that Magneto is trying to rally up mutants to join his 'cause' Xavier sent me there to find out what was going on. When I found out about you I alerted him and he told me to get you out no matter what. He wants you to go to his school." Hailey told Peyton.
"His school?" Warren asked.
"Yes, 'Professor Charles Xavier's school for gifted youngsters', a school for mutants. All mutants are safe there" Hailey told them.
"Why do I have to go there?" Peyton asked.
"You don't have to," Hailey told her quickly "but if you do you will be safe. And Magneto won't be able to touch you when you are under Xavier's watch. He can also help you to use your powers properly and make them more powerful."
"In that case" Warren said to Peyton "Maybe you should go"
"What?" Peyton said shocked.
"If there is a place that you will be truly safe from this guy, that is where you should be, it nearly killed me when that took you. I don't think I can do it again"
"Warren no, if you are going to get the cure I'm going to stay with you" Peyton said "You wont be able to live in a school full of mutants"
"You- you're going to stay with me? Even if I'm human"
"Angel, of course I am! I love you and I don't care what you look like, whether you have wings or not I don't care. Even if you had blue skin or- or three eyes, none of it matters ok?" Peyton told him.
Warren hugged her "I'm sorry Peyton, for everything I said before"
"Don't be" Peyton said "So are we going back to your fathers place?"
Warren thought, he finally had the chance to be accepted. Accepted by his father and everyone else too. And the only person who had ever loved him the way he was, was going to stay with him no matter what. He could finally be happy. He looked down at Peyton and nodded.
"Well, I just want you to know" Hailey interrupted "There will always be a place at the school for you ok?" They said goodbye to each other before Hailey called a taxi and left.
Peyton and Angel went inside and packed their things, they said goodbye to Billy once they were done.
"Thank you so much for everything Billy" Warren said.
"Don't be a stranger ok dude? I want to catch up with you again I really like you" Billy had replied.
"Billy, I love yah, please look after yourself ok?" Peyton said hugging her brother good bye.
"You too Peyt" He said "Hey Warren, take care of my girl ok?"
"Yeah I will" Warren said putting his arm around Peyton, and with that they got taxi and drove back to Warrens apartment.
When they got there Warren's father was ecstatic, he kept bringing up the cure and hinting that it would be a good idea for Peyton to take the cure as well. Peyton had to restrain herself from yelling at him to leave her alone but in the end Warren did it for her. Peyton was so proud of him for standing up to his father, she was glad he was starting to.
It was Monday night, the day before Warren was to get the cure. Warren's father had prepared a celebration dinner and had basically celebrated on his own as neither Peyton nor Angel touched their food or said much.
Later that night Peyton was sitting on the lounge reading, Warren's father was in a chair next to the heater smoking a pipe and Warren was sitting on the lounge next to Peyton watching her read.
"Well" Warren said "I think I'm going to go to bed"
"Ok son, it the big day tomorrow so you should probably get a good nights rest" His father said.
"Yeah, goodnight dad" He said then turned to Peyton "Are you coming in now or later sweetie?"
"Um, yeah I'm coming just let me finish this chapter ok?" She said not looking up from the book. Warren nodded, bent over her and kissed her on the forehead then exited the room, leaving Peyton and his father on their own.
"So ah, Peyton, are you going to be getting cured tomorrow?" Mr Worthington asked her.
"No" Peyton said "I don't believe there is anything that needs to be cured"
"Well I suppose not. I guess that it's easier to blend in when your mutation can't be seen"
Peyton look back at her book and bit her tongue. Calm down Peyton thought just let him go, he will stop tomorrow, it'll all be over then.
"But, you know Peyton" Mr Worthington began and Peyton breathed out slowly trying to stay calm, "Warren is doing this to look normal, don't you think he is going to want a normal life too, normal friends, normal children? Don't you think he will want you to be normal too?"
That was it for Peyton "There is nothing wrong with Warren! Or any other mutants we are normal people too"
"Then why do you think he is doing this?"
"Because of you, you asshole! The way you treat your own son because he's different is disgusting. Warren is doing this so you with treat him like you used to" Peyton was trying to stop herself but she couldn't "He is your son! How could you put him through all this, why cant you see past the fact he looks different and see him for who he is on the inside!"
"You're not the one who has 6 foot wings on your back"
"Neither are you! Just because you hate them doesn't mean everyone else does, you should see Warren's face when he flies! He looks happy and you can tell he loves it"
"Normal people can't fly can they? Only frea-"
"Warren is not a freak!"
"He isn't normal either!"
Peyton groaned in frustration, she got up and started to head before her bedroom but stopped and turned to Warren's father "You know Mr Worthington, I wish that you could see Warren through my eyes. I wish you could see how perfect you son really is. I wish he could too"
Neither of them realized that Warren had heard every word they had said, he laid on the bed waiting for Peyton to lay down next him. When she did he rolled over and smiled at her, they laid there looking at each for a while thinking.
I knew she didn't want this Warren thought, I don't want this either, so why should I do this for him?
Why are you doing this to yourself Warren? Peyton thought why can't you just forget about him and let yourself be happy?
They aren't even that bad anyway, and Peyton loves them.
I'm really going to miss them. Peyton thought.
"I love you" Warren told her
"I love you too Ange- Warren" Peyton said trying to smile. She the moved closer to him, snuggled into his chest and fell asleep.
The next morning Warren woke up to his alarm. His stomach dropped, today was the day. He looked down at Peyton who was still asleep cuddle up against his chest. She looked so beautiful. Warren brushed hair off her face and watched her sleep for a while.
Eventually he got up, being careful not wake Peyton and had a shower. When he got out he looked in the mirror. He had had his wings for 10 years, 10 long years of wishing they were gone, but now he could get rid of them and it was the last thing he wanted to do. He had only known Peyton a month but she had changed him life in an unbelievable way.
He got dressed and went into the kitchen, there was a note on the bench, it said:
Good Morning Warren,
Be there at 10:30, you are going to be first.
I know it's been a long wait but it will be over today.
I'm very proud of you and I want you to know you are making the
Right decision.
Love Dad.
Warren sighed and scrunched up the note, he saw the pen and paper and decided to leave Peyton a note.
Morning Beautiful,
I've gone to get the cure, I'll be back around 11:30
I really hope I'm doing the right thing, I'm not sure anymore.
All my love, Angel.
He left the note on the table next to Peyton, kissed her on the forehead and left.
Well i hope you like it, the next chapter might be a while because i have no idea what I'm going to write next lol, bye
