Chapter Nine: Your Guardian Angel

DECEMBER 2009

David watched his best friend, Alex, calmly talk to her friends at her locker right before they went home for their Christmas break, and after all of the stuff she been through, from losing her parents, to enduring the abuse from her uncle, who is now getting it in prison for killing them. Alex turned to David, and smiled at him sweetly. David smiled right back at her, and shed a tear for her, as she deserved to be happy after all of this.

When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

Alex and David were walking home from school, snow lightly falling around them. This scene of natural beauty to David was only matched by the beautiful young girl that was walking with him. David looked at her as they walked in the snow cover sidewalk, and stopped on a small bench right before their house.

"David, do you believe in guardian angels?" Alex asked him.

"Honestly, I really do believe that there is always someone watching over us. As in angels watching us, I can't say yes or no." David answered.

"Oh." Alex sighed.

"Also," David began again, "I believe that if we really care about someone, you would be willing to do anything to protect them, even if that meant giving up your own life for them."

"That's sweet." Alex said to him.

"That's how I feel about you." David said, slightly blushing. Alex and David continued to look at each other, completely unaware that their faces were moving towards each other.

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Alex never did look more beautiful than she did right now. David noticed that she had a certain glow to her that only showed up whenever she was around. There was no more escaping the truth anymore.

He loved this girl.

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

"Alex?" David said, face completely red. Alex looked at him and smiled.

"Yes, David?" Alex asked.

"I...Think that I might have feelings for you that stretch beyond friendship..." David said looking away, not being able to look at her expression."

"Well, let me respond in the following way." Alex said. Before David could react, Alex placed her lips on his. David closed his eyes, and embraced the kiss. Alex looked away, and smiled.

"So?" Alex asked.

"Care to repeat that?" David said. Alex just smiled as she kissed him again in the snow of New York.
