When I looked out of the window, the sky is dark again with little stars scattered like glitters. I could hear the shower in the bathroom and I couldn't help, but smile knowing that Michael is still with me. Someone knocked at the door and I got startled, I'm still naked beneath my blanket! If I put on my clothes, it would take time and if I'm not lucky, dad or jeep might be suspicious. I just put my clothes under the bed and I lied down again, wrapped with the white blanket.
"Come in!" I shouted.
The door slightly opened and it was jeep, closing the door behind him.
"Hey" he said softly.
I smiled, "Hey"
He sat on the edge of the bed, mussing my head. "Where's Michael?"
"Uhm, he's taking a shower"
Then my head concentrated on the bathroom door and the sound of the shower.
"He's done a lot of help for us" jeep said.
I wasn't looking at him, when I nodded. "I know, he's just unbelievable"
"More of supernatural"
"Yeah. Anyways, how is the baby?"
"He's doing great, sleeping most of the time"
"I'm sure you'll be a great dad to that child, Jeep"
Jeep smirked, "I do hope so. I mean, Charlie knows very well how I feel about her and the baby. She finally agreed to be with me"
"Well, that's just great"
"But that means I have to leave" jeep added, but still smiling, "I have to help her with the baby; for our family"
I nodded, "I understand that, I can still help dad with the diner"
"Are you sure you'll still be at the diner?"
His question caught my full attention now.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked seriously.
Jeep sighed and sat on a lotus position, "When we survive—and I know we will—I'm sure you won't be thinking about the diner anymore"
"Of course I will"
"Come on Rebecca, we're not yet sure if all will be safe after the apocalypse. You're old enough to be independent or even make a family. Try everything while there's time"
He slightly pulled the blanket and exposed my bare shoulder. I quickly pulled it up, feeling embarrassed. Somehow, Jeep knew something.
"You like him, don't you?" jeep asked.
I tried to act stupid and sat up. "I-I don't know what you're saying"
"I know you do and you can't fool me"
"How are you sure that I like him?"
"Because I see the way you look at him when you're together, you're always smiling. And because I'm your brother"
"Well, it doesn't matter if I like him, he's not like us"
"You'll never know what the wind will blow, Rebecca. Have faith"
smiled at him for encouraging me, but it still didn't quite help me. He is still leaving no matter what. The baby's cry could be heard from our room and another loud sound; like a horn. The sound doesn't seem inviting at all. Jeep quickly got up and I picked up my clothes from under the bed.
"Go get dressed while I check out what's going on" jeep said and went out.
As soon as he closed the door, Michael went out of the bathroom in a hurry taking his guns from the desk.
"Rebecca, you better stay here" he suggested.
I already put on my clothes when I faced him, "No, I'm coming with you"
"It's too dangerous"
Michael walked towards me and grasped my arms a bit aggressive.
"I can't let you get hurt" he told me, "I can't take that"
"And do you think I want you to get hurt? No, we're going to fight together, got it?"
He smirked and gave me a sweet kiss, "You're remarkable"
He handed me a small gun and we both went out to see what's going already. When we got out, we saw the others standing at the hallway, curious with where the horn sound is coming from. Dad ran to me asking me if I'm okay.
"Yeah dad, I'm fine" I said.
"Yo Michael, what's going on?" Kyle asked.
Michael cocked his big gun and looked up the ceiling.
"It's him" Michael muttered.
"Who's he?" Percy asked.
"Gabriel"
The horn sound came closer and closer that we all stand on guard. Michael suddenly dashed towards me when a small portion of the ceiling crashed. The whole room is covered with a bright white light and a tall figure standing. The light slowly faded and I could see the man visibly with his black wings and armor. The famous angel who sent the good news to Mary is here, in the flesh. The great messenger angel Gabriel.
