Luce's POV

After running past Daniel and into the lunch room, I ran to Nora where she was sitting at a table with Vee, Patch, and some other girls.

I grabbed her hand and dragged her outside to her car. I waited for her to unlock it and waited until we were both seated inside before bursting into tears.

Nora hugged me and then pulled back and waited for me to talk.

"I don't know what to do, Nora!" I sobbed.

"Relationship problems?" Nora asked sympathetically.

For some reason I found that funny and burst out laughing.

Nora smiled and hugged me again, "I'm sorry, hun. But you will get through this, and you will make the right decision".

I hugged her tighter before letting go. I rubbed at my eyes as we approached the school again. As we walked into the cafeteria, Nora stiffened beside me.

I stopped next to her, "What's…" I froze.

Marcie was sitting on Patch's lap and she had her arms around his neck. Patch's hands were on her butt.

Nora turned and ran to the bathroom. I sighed, but I was outraged with Patch. I stormed up to him and grabbed Marcie's wrist, yanking her off of Patch.

Marcie cried out as I jerked her wrist an unnatural way.

"What is wrong with you?" I hissed at Patch.

Patch held up his hands in surrender.

"You have a girlfriend! And she just saw you with your hands all over another girl!" I slapped him across the face before running to the bathroom, brushing past Daniel.

I ran to Nora and pulled her into my arms as she sobbed into my shoulder.

"Shhh" I whispered to her softly as I rubbed her back.

I couldn't believe Patch.

After taking 15 minutes to convince the nurse that Nora and I had horrible period cramps, I pulled Nora's car into my driveway.

I led her into my house and grabbed ice cream from the freezer before we headed upstairs.

After we talked about our feelings, Nora cried herself to sleep in my bed and I quietly closed the door.

There was a sharp knock on the door and I opened my front door slowly, to reveal Patch. I glared at him and tried to slam the door on him but he forced it open.

"Go away" I glared at him.

"I have to see her" Patch pleaded.

"She just cried herself to sleep, thanks to you. Now go" I glared at him, trying to push him out the door.

Patch cursed under his breath and ran his hands through his hair.

"It wasn't what it looked like" Patch pleaded.

"Go away, Patch"

He quickly changed the subject, "Daniel misses you."

I glared at him and managed to push him out the door and closed the door quickly, locking it.

I went to the TV and turned it on, watching it numbly as thoughts swirled in my head.

I had no clue what I was going to do. I loved Cam, but I had chosen Daniel and ended Cam's life. Yet, Cam had returned as my angel and we had a second chance. But he was going to be ripped from my life for good. Was that a sign? That since my choice between the two had been permanent due to my doings; I had to stick with it? I had chosen to kill Cam, I had chosen Daniel.

Tears streamed down my face as I bit my lip. Guilt and sorrow rose in my chest and threatened to choke me.

I forced away my tears as the doorbell rang again.

I glared at the door and opened it, expecting to see Patch, but instead I was greeted by the warm arms of Daniel.

I wasn't overly happy to see him or anyone in that matter, but since he lifted me off my feet, I had to hold onto him.

"Daniel! Put me down!"

Daniel set me lightly on my feet, but kept his arms around me. His wings unfurled and my breath was taken away at their beauty. I couldn't help myself when he leaned his face toward mine and I pressed my lips against his.

The kiss didn't last long but it was amazing.

"I'm sorry, Luce." Daniel said softly.

He backed up and I tried to take a step forward to be in his arms but he shook his head.

He gritted his teeth and I gasped when I saw bright red blood start to stain his pearly white wings. He held out a single white feather to me.

"Here. This is to show you how truly sorry I am and how much I love you" Daniel set it in my hands.

I grasped it tightly in my hands but I stepped forward to place my hand over the blood flow. I kissed his wing softly as I looked up into his violet eyes.

He pulled his wing away and pulled me against him.

"I would go through any amount of pain just to make you happy Luce" Daniel stated.

I nodded.

Cam already did go through an extreme amount of pain for me. I killed him and yet he still came back.

Like now. When I was looking into his hurt green eyes just beyond Daniel's shoulders.
