I felt guilty leaving you hanging like that. So here's the next chapter! Whoo! Three chapters in an hour! I am on a roll!

Collins woke up in a cold sweat and breathing hard. He looked over to Angel's side of the bed. She wasn't there.
"Angel?!" he cried. He got up and ran into the other room.
"Collins, sweetie, are you okay?" she asked behind him.
He nearly collapsed with relief when he turned around and saw his angel with a glass of water and a look of concern on her perfect face. Collins wrapped his arms around her so fast he was a blur in her eyes. Collins buried his face into Angel's shoulder, who rubbed his back soothingly and whispered calming words.
"Angel I love you," he kept repeating it over and over. That dream scared the shit out of him!
Angel tried to pull back a little but Collins' grip refused to let her move a millimeter.
"Honey, can we go sit down?" Angel asked her voice a little strained.
She felt him nod and led him to the couch. He sat down first and pulled her onto his lap where he crushed her to him again. After an hour he finally loosened his grip on her, she gently kissed him on the lips.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Angel's voice was dripping with care.
"I had a bad dream," he stated quietly. She almost smiled at how much like a little kid he sounded like.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
He took a deep breath before nodding. "You and Mimi were shopping when you came across a wig store. You told Mimi to go back to the hotel, and she left and you went into the store. You found this beautiful wig, kind of like the one from Flawless and--"
"Honey, this really doesn't sound like a nightmare," she interrupted.
"I'm not done. Anyway, after you bought the wig you were pulled into an alley and a homophobic bible thumper had a gun and said that if you said a word he would shoot you. You saw me looking for you across the street and shouted for me. Then-" he took a shaky breath "-he shot you. I went to you and you said you loved me and then you died in my arms. Angel I was so scared when I woke up and you weren't there. I thought that had actually happened," he started crying again. She held his head to her chest as his tears soaked her shirt.
"Shh, honey, its okay. I'm not leaving you. Live in my house, I'll be your shelter. Just pay my back with one thousand kisses. Be my lover, and I'll cover you," she crooned. He, soon, was sleeping like a baby. She kissed his forehead lightly, and snuggled into his warm body. Within minutes, she, too, was fast asleep.
See? Angel is okay! I love you people, but you have caused me so much sleep deprivation, that I'm holding the wedding ransom until I get some reviews! They make my day, and right now I could out angst Roger! So press the button! Pretty please? With Angel and Collins fluff on top?
