Hey guys sorry that I haven't updated in who knows how long, mad case of writers block amongst other things!
Chapter 6: Chris.
The past few months had been like something out of a nightmare for Chris, he barely ate, spent half the nights awake trying desperatly to contact Amelie, but to no avail.
Melinda walked into the attic, and took in her brother's appearance, his clothes were baggy, there were bags under his tear-swollen eyes, she couldn't bear to see him like this, something had to be done.
"Come on, bro, you need to get some sleep, you're making yourself ill." she told him, helping him up out of the armchair he sat in almost every night.
"I'm fine, Mel. Honestly." he replied, heading for his bedroom.
Meanwhile, Amelie was stood atop golden gate bridge. Waiting for the right time to reveal herself to Chris and his siblings, she decided Chris should be alone the first time he saw her, as he had taken her death the hardest, of course. It was now or never, she orbed herself towards the manor.
Chris sat on the end of his bed, a funny sensation his stomach like something was about to happen, he shook his head and thought to himself, pull it together Chris!
Then as he turned, he heard a familiar orbing sound, followed by a swirl of lights entering the room, they seemed to take longer to clear than normal. But when they did, he fell back onto the bed in shock.
"Amelie? Is it really you?" he asked, getting back onto his feet.
"Yes it's me, I wanted to see you first, before anything else, I'm going to be the three of your's whitelighter." She stopped speaking for a moment to let him take it all in. Chris couldn't believe it, all the sleepless nights, and here she was. Back. There had to be a catch...didn't there.
Almost as if he had spoken this thought aloud. Amelie answered his mental question. "I think they are going to let us be together, Chris. The past week has been a nightmare come true for me." she said, then realised the time difference here on Earth. "Or has it been longer down here?"
"3 months" replied Chris. "3 very long, very difficult months." he continued. He reached out to her, taking her hand in his, and pulled her closer to him. He couldn't believe he had been without this for so long, this feeling of perfection, feeling complete with her so close to him once again.
okay sorry for the fairly short chapter, just getting the story rolling again. Will update again very soon. x
