"Mika, honey, why don't you go upstairs and get dressed for dinner? We have a dinner quest tonight, so we'll be having dinner rather soon." My mother said from her spot on the couch.
"Of course mom, I'll be right back down." I said and slid from the couch opposite her, and gave her a bright smile before turning towards the stairs.
"Make it something fabulous, for me. You'll look great, I promise." She said, and I just smiled again, I could like it here more than I knew.
I reached my bedroom rather quickly, and started to sort through all the clothes that had been put into the dresser for me, and I pulled out almost 10 dresses before I found the one that my heart was set on.
It was cute, maybe not as glamorous as my mother had been hoping for, but I liked it. It was a simple short white dress with spaghetti straps, the bottom didn't poof out in ruffles like all those other atrocious itchy monstrosities I had worn before. And it had a blue strap of fabric with a simple little silver buckle around my waist.
It was cute, and I could show off my legs. Perfect. I slid it on really quick, and ran over to my mirror. My still long black hair fell to my waist, betraying any loose hint that I may belong to this family. I sighed and left it down, there's nothing I can do with it, it's too long.
I began clomping my way down the stairs again when I heard a new, and different voice coming from downstairs. I tried to listen in.
"Is she ready?" The voice asked.
"Oh, she's just upstairs getting ready for dinner, she'll be right down." My mothers' voice, I realized.
This voice must be our dinner guest.
Quickly, I make my way down the stairs, I'd hate to make our guest wait any longer because of me.
When I reach the bottom of the stairs the owners of the voices were gone. Strange. I bobbled around looking for someone, anyone, but none was found. Then it dawned on my that they were all probably at the table and waiting for me anyway.
I was right.
I muttered a 'sorry.' And slid into the open seat next the Kyran,. I made sure to keep my head down, mostly from embarrassment. I couldn't believe that I had everyone waiting this long.
"Um…Mikala we have a guest tonight." My father said.
I looked up shyly, expecting to see some old fart, but I knew that was impossible since no one in heaven aged past 19 or so.
It can as no shock to me that the man at our table was so young, about 18 in looks, but I'm terrible at guessing ages so I really couldn't tell you anything. He was rather handsome though. He had a very toned and muscular body from what I could see. His hair was pitch black, and only hinted a shade of blue when hit with light. His eyes were a very electrifying blue color. Like that annoyingly bright neon light blue you see on club signs, only on his face the color wasn't annoying.
He was wearing what looked like a black t-shirt under a white button up shirt that was tucked in, though I wasn't really sure because he was still wearing his jacket which was black leather. He had a great sense of style.
"Hello." He said at last, yes, his voice was musical. "My name is Caelan Danvers, please to meet you." He said lowering his head slightly in what I thought was a sign of recognition.
(His name is pronounced Kay-len. Also Pic On My Profile)
"Nice to meet you Mr. Danvers, I'm Mikala…um…" I blushed, I never really cared to figure out my last name since I got here, and well…it never really came up. Damn.
"It's also nice to meet you Mr. Danvers. I'm Zaniel Moore." Zane said then looked at me as if to say, 'wow Mika, well, there's our last name.' then he winked and I giggled.
"Nice to meet both of you." Caelan said; he sat diagonal from me.
I took a moment to scope out the seating arrangements at the table. There were three chairs on both sides of the table, and one on each of the farthest ends. My mother sat at the far left end of the table. To her left were Sera, then me, then Kyran. To her right were Sam, then Zaniel, then Caelan. Dad sat opposite her on the other side of the table.
"I'm sure you remember our other children from your other visits. Sera, Sam, and Kyran. You never had the chance to meet Zaniel and Mikala; they were…not here at the time." My mother said.
"Yes, I do remember them." He said smiling at everyone at the table then letting his eyes fall on me. I looked down nervously and I felt my hands starting to shake; why was he staring at me like that?
Then I felt a hand clutch onto mine, and calm me down, and I glanced up and gave Kyran a thankful smile.
"So Mikala, what do you enjoy to do?" Caelan asked.
"I like to read, and listen to music. Mostly listen to music." I said freeing my hand from Kyrans' to pick at the food that was on my plate.
"Who are your favorite bands?" He asked popping a piece of meat into his mouth.
"Well, I'd have to say my favorite bands are, Within Temptation, Paramore, This Providence, System of a Down, Seether, Hawthorne Heights, AFI, Flyleaf. All time Low, The Spill Canvas, Plain White T's, Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Dashboard Confessional, All American Rejects, Three Days Grace, Daughtry, The Exies, Boys Like Girls, Hoobastank, Maroon 5, Avril Lavigne, Simple Plan, Puddle of Mudd, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Saving Abel, Dear Juliet, We the Kings, Britt Nicole, Mercy Mercedes, Jonas Brother, My Chemical Romance, A Day to Remember, Every Avenue, The Rasmus, The Gazette, and Meg and Dia." I said smiling and he looked at me shocked.
"I have no clue who any of those bands are." He said laughing.
"It's an human thing." I said laughing, and Zaniel and Kyran joined in.
"Did you say Dear Juliet and Mercy Mercedes?" Kyran asked me.
"Yeah, actually I have their newest CD's, why do you ask?"
"You do not!" He said shock and I couldn't help but laugh at the expression on his face. It was too adorable.
"Of course I do! I could hardly call myself a fan without it." I said in mock horror. "The rock gods may strike me down right now if I'm lying!" I said getting up and standing out of my seat for a moment, then stuck my tongue out at Kyran to prove my point.
"Can you burn it for me?" He asked.
"Are there computers in heaven?" I asked skeptical.
"Miki this is heaven, not a prison, of course there are computers." He said laughing at me.
"Well I was just asking, gosh. I'd have to go get my CD's though. Perhaps you could come with me. I really don't want to go back alone." I said, he knew I was referring to the human world.
"Of course I will." He said and I smiled.
"Where could you leave CD's where you wouldn't want to go alone to get them?" Caelan asked.
"Over at a friends house. If I go alone she'll give me a makeover or something, if I take Ky then she won't try it." I lied, it came easily.
"Oh." He said then popped another piece of meat into his mouth.
When dinner was over I had practically begged my mother, and all but threatened to leave heaven if she didn't let me go and get my CD's. Yeah they were that important. Finally she caved and Kyran and I were walking to the front door when my dad came up behind us.
"Hey Mika, I've filled in Caelan about everything, take him with you, he's never been to the human world." He said.
"Oh, of course." I said smiling at him.
We were walked the dirty streets of my only hometown in the human world, and I felt so at home.
"Why don't we fly, it'll be faster?" Caelan complained walking ahead of us looking around, taking it all in.
"Because, I haven't been home in forever and I want to take my time and enjoy it." I said.
"Oh yeah, what's it like not remembering everything?" He asked.
"Well I really don't know. I have nothing to compare it to. I'll tell you when I get my memories back, deal?"
"Deal." He said.
Before I knew it we were standing outside of my brownstone looking up at the dim windows. Wow, I had no key, this was such a waste. I grumbled profanities all the way to the door. It was worth a try to see if it was unlocked. I turned the handle, and I was shocked. It was unlocked. Great, I'd probably been robbed.
We all made our way up the steps and into my house.
"Welcome to my personal sanctuary." I said motioning with my hand through the air.
"It's looks find of gothic." Caelan said in disgust, and Kyran and I laughed.
"Caelan I am gothic, and so is Kyran." I said still laughing. He looked a little in disbelief, but let it go.
"Now that that was brought up I can get all my clothes too! Oh Kyran I'll be able to be more of myself again! Oohh, and maybe we can go shopping for some clothes for you too while we're here I have all my money here still and way more than enough to get a sweet new wardrobe and some for myself too." I said excited.
"Get you're CD's, clothes and money, we'll come back another day to shop, I promise." He said, and I nodded and started throwing all my clothes into trash bags, it ended up taking 2 trash bags to haul all my clothes. And we got all my CD's into a box.
We all looked at the stuff. There was a short distance which required flight to get home. The situation ended up like this. Caelan was carrying the bags, and I was holding the box as Kyran held me in his arms with flying. I was a little bit happier with all my stuff now back in my possession.
We reached the house and Kyran and I ran up to my room with my clothes and CD's with Caelan in tow. We were so ready to listen to some good music.
"Which one first?" I asked Kyran excited.
"Umm… I wanna hear Dear Juliet!" He said and I nodded and I put the CD and hit PLAY.
Music filled the air, then came the words.
KPOV (Kyran Point of View)
"You can rest easy tonight.
Everything is gonna be alright, I promise.
Go to sleep and dream of me tonight.
Everything may not be perfect, but at least we tried.
So tonight, sweet dreams and sleep tight.
I've been trying so hard, can't get you out of my mind.
And if this is how it has to be, just promise you won't forget me.
And I'll leave you with this lullaby tonight.
I wish that she could remember me. Nothing is perfect, but at least we tried to be together. I can't forget like you did, but I don't think I'd want to.
I know that this hurts you, it hurts me too.
I wish there was something I could do to make it easier for you.
Sometimes it's tough, too soon to call it love but I wanted to.
But it's too late now to say all the wonderful things that I thought of you.
Maybe it was too soon to tell our parents that we were in love, but I felt like I needed to do it, and now it's too late to tell you I love you, because you only see me as a brother.
So tonight, sweet dreams and sleep tight.
I've been trying so hard, can't get you out of my mind.
And if this is how it has to be, just promise you won't forget me.
And I'll leave you with this lullaby tonight."
God, I loved her so much, and as she sat here beside me on her bed, with Caelan the man who my parents were trying to match her with my feelings never faltered. I loved her. And there's nothing I can do about it.

The next song started. Oh no. This one made me think of Kain. Oh God how I missed him.
"This summer is coming to a close
and I'm starting to figure out that I cannot live without you
I hope you're thinking of me, cuz all the stars above me sing your name
I'll never be the same again
I'll never be the same again, and I'll never be the same with you Kain. I wonder if you're thinking about me. Are you better now? I hope.
So please don't forget to call me
just to let me know you're doing okay
miles away from me
You are soooo far away, I didn't like it. I miss you.
This summer was the best I've ever had
I never want to see it end, so let's pretend
that we're never going back home again
just say those three words I know you're thinking
I'm sick of wasting time on these formalities
please never leave my side
Being with him was the worst and best thing that ever happened to me. Near the end, I was wishing I didn't have to leave. I know you loved me. I want you here.
So please don't forget to call me
just to let me know you're doing okay
- miles away from me (x2)
So please tell me darling
why you're so far away
when I need you beside me tonight?"
The song stopped playing and I felt cool tears running down my cheeks. "Mika, what's wrong?" Kyran cried looked at me, and I just stared back at him wide eyed.
"G-get out. Both of you I need to change my clothes." I said pushing them both out the door. I closed it softly behind them and turned the lock.
"Breath Mika, breath." I told myself as I walked to my bed and laid face down in my pillows.
"You called?" A musical voice asked from my window.
