Guardian Angel
Chapter 4- The meeting
«You can NOT do this» Ryan looked at his friend disappointed.
«I have to do this Ryan. I tried to find another way but there is no other way. Yesterday a man died trying to protect her. I never thought I would feel grateful to him. I hated him, I wanted to murder him. He was… Oh god you have no idea how much I hated him. But yesterday he took his bravest decision. He proved that he loved her. I will always be grateful to the man that tried to kill me because he saved her. He died at her arms. He had a death that I will always be jealous. But he died. That was… » He stopped and took a quick deep breath. «She needs help. She needs MY help. » Aiden put his hand on Ryan's shoulder and squeezed it gently. That kid was the best thing that happened to him at this new world. That kid was always there for him. That kid was trying to be his guardian angel.
«I know… I Know… It's just… It doesn't seem fair. It's NOT fair. »
Aiden left a small laugh and shook his head in agreement.
«I want her to be happy Ryan. She is the love of my life. She is my soul. She is my everything. I want her to be happy. I want her to be safe. I want her to move on, because only then she will be happy. Yes, I will forget who I am I will forget what I feel. But maybe that's a good thing. I will help her stay alive and when she finally move on I will not feel any pain. I love her and I want her to move on but that doesn't mean I am not going to feel any pain. So maybe it's a good thing. »
«You are only trying to make yourself feel better for your choice. »
«Yeah maybe… » He looked at the kind with a sad smile. «I have a question for you. » He had to learn the truth before he gone down there again. Ryan moved worried on his seat.
«Tell me»
«Why you never told me? » Now he wasn't talking about Emily, about him, about his love. He had to know why Ryan kept secret from him his death. «I remembered » He explained seeing the confused look on boys face.
«What? What do you mean? I don't get you Aiden. » Ryan he stood up and slowly moved away of Aiden.
«4th of June 1993. Flight 197 is blown up. You were one the kids. You were… You were there. You died on that plane. At first I didn't remember you… Maybe I didn't want to remember you… but now I am sure. After Tricia's reaction, after Doclin's reaction, after your reactions every time I am asking about your death. I am sure. You died on that plane. »
Ryan didn't speak. He stood there. He stood there unmoving. Tears were rolling down on his face. Aiden felt sad. Felt heartbroken for the boy. He didn't pressure him. He gave him his time. He wouldn't force him to talk.
«It … I don't like talking about it. And I thought it would be difficult for you too. Your father… Emily's father… You spend your life hunted by this flight. You… This people destroyed your life… This people… » Tears were know all over Ryan's face.
Aiden looked at the boy and felt so much love. He stood up grab the kids shoulders and looked into his eyes. He wanted to speak but there were no words to say. He tried but he failed. There was only one thing he could do. He wrapped his arms around him and gave him a warm hug. He felt the boy relaxing on his hug.
«See you later a guess? » Ryan asked as they pulled away.
«See you later» He answered and walked out of the room.
Tears were streaming down her face as she walked slowly to her front door. Another one died. Another one human in her life was dead. Another person she cared was gone. Daniel die for her. Died to save her. He could have ran but he stayed.
«Ems? » Nolan's voice was almost a whisper. «Where are you going? »
She didn't look at him. She stayed in silence for a moment trying to find the right words.
«I can't believe I haven't visited him yet» She said and finally turned her eyes on him. «Yesterday at the graveyard… I thought about him… I was going to visit him… But … I couldn't… »
Nolan looked at her in silence for a few seconds and then he nodded with sympathy. He knew how difficult it was for her. He knew because it was difficult for him too. Emily gave him a small smile and then she walked out of the house.
She knelt in front of the grave. Her knees were too weak to support her weight. She was crying, her tears blurred her vision. «I am so sorry Aiden. I am so sorry for not coming here earlier. I am so sorry you died. I am sorry I dragged you in all these. I am so sorry…» She tasted her tears. Salty. Bitter. Full of pain. She hid her face in her palms and started squeezing it.
«I am sorry Aiden I can't do this. I can't. No no you… I… I can… I have to go but I promise I will come back. I promise. I just need more time» She stood up quickly and turned around to leave when she saw a man standing behind her. He was tall, with black hair and quite white skin. He was looking at her serious but she could see sympathy in his eyes. He walked to her with his hand expanded. «Sam Trevor. I was Aiden's friend»
