A lot has changed since that night 20 years ago. Every night, I went to the same spot of where my savior saved me, but he never showed up. I felt very sad every night for my savior not showing up. During the last 20 years, I went to school with Maddie and Lily until Maddie and her family moved to California for her father's job so we kept in touch with each other, my mom had cancer and died when I was ten and I was living with my dad who had been drinking and doing drugs since my mother's death. I had to learn to fend for myself at an early age. When my uncle and my aunt found out about my dad's drug and child abuse on me, he called the cops on my dad and they arrested him. the judge forced my dad to relinquish me to my uncle and my aunt. It didn't bothered me at all because one, Uncle David and Aunt Lauren lived in Fairplay, and two, me and Lily still get to go to school together. We graduated from high school and we went to college. When I was 17, I just learned that my dad was killed in a hit and run the day after my high school graduation. I was very upset because I haven't seen my dad in about 7-8 years since he got arrested. Right now, me and Lily are living in my dad's old house in Denver. Good thing the house was paid off or else we would have struggled badly. We cleaned it up, decorated and repair my dad's old house and it looked good as new. Right now, Me and Lily are going to college, she is studying for journalism, while i… well undecided as of now. I spent most of my nights at the bar. Not drinking…working. I worked at the bar with a wonderful, yet a very feisty lady named Lalaine. We get along really good, and she even taught me how to make ordinary drinks. Not for long, I became a pro at it that my friend, Kayden gave me a recipe that he created himself. Purple Rain. I remembered that song that was sung by an artist named Prince. Lately he hasn't been making any music, which I understand. All celebrities needed a break every now and then so that their creativity can take a breather.
"Alex!" I heard Lalaine calling out to me as I looked at her.
"I have some customers that wants a Coors light, Coke float Chala, no ice, and a Budlight."
I nodded at her and got to work. I managed to get the orders done in about 2 minutes. Since I started working at the bar, Lalaine has taught me the basics of working fast that she challenged me a lot. I sometimes lose to her challeneges, but I learned my lessons every time I make a mistake. I deliver the drinks and went back to the bar. I saw the other workers that I got along with. On school nights except for Saturday and Sunday, I leave at 7:30 so that I can get ready to go to school in the morning. On Saturdays I leave at midnight and Sundays we are closed. I love working at my job as a bartender, but I know that it may not be forever, just until I find out what I want to do.
At closing time, me, Lalaine, Becky, and Ren were cleaning up the bar and having a late dinner. While the others were taking about tonight, I sat out by the window, thinking. Tonight has been 20 years to this date since my mysterious savior came and saved me from those men who were going to put me into human trafficking. I looked at the pendant that was hanging around my neck. When I woke up at the hospital, I felt the necklace around my neck and strangely enough I didn't wear a necklace on that day until I noticed it. It had a beautiful mixture of blues, purples, and pinks in the diamond, mini spikes surrounded the diamond, thank goodness the spikes weren't that itchy. The necklace was decorated with about two medium spikes that looks like long teeth that rests in between the diamond.
"Playing with your necklace again, Alex?"
I saw Lalaine coming over to the table and sat down next to me.
"What's wrong?" I sighed and looked at her.
"Today has been exactly 20 years since I was rescued by my savior."
"I see." Lalaine smiled.
I explained to her what had happened, but I left the description out of my savior.
"So he killed a big bear?"
"Yes." I nodded.
"You got a guardian angel looking after you, Alex and I am grateful to him that he saved a very good friend."
I smiled while Lalaine got up.
"Alright ladies," she said.
"Lets get going home."
I got up and walked with Lalaine, Ren and Becky and we left the bar. I walked towards my car, got in and drove home. I thought about what Lalaine had said. Guardian Angel. That's what my savior is. I couldn't get a facial description, but all I can get out of him is a purr. That addicting, gentle purr that calmed me down while he was helping me out.
"Maybe he is something else other than my guardian angel." I told myself that and I drove home dreaming that one day, I will meet my guardian angel.
