Wings Forgotten

Brianna's POV

"...I may be patient but I am not that patient," Jessica said.

I heard everything.

I was planning to ask where the toilet is when I heard them talking about me. What where they thinking? The storage room is literally a meter a way from them. Did they really think I would not hear anything of what they are discussing?

"I'll go back to Brianna now," Faye stood up from her seat.

I jumped back on the bed and pretened to be asleep.

Faye opened the door and sat on the edge of the bed.

She traced my eyebrow, "I'm really sorry, Brianna. I thought I already have it all figured out but once again, I was proven wrong by the Angels." She leaned and kissed my forehead.

I guess I could pretend that I got woken up by that. I squeezed my eyes open.

"Did I wake you up?"

"Hmm..." I mumbled.

"Sorry."

"No, it's fine.

She can't look directly into my eyes.

Once again, the strength of our relationship is being challenged by the Angels. When will this torture be over? I just want to live peacefully with Faye. Why is that not allowed?

"You can't stay here forever. You know that, right?" She asked me.

I nodded, "but I don't want to see my mom yet. I am not ready to have another argument with her."

I am not ready to not see you anymore.

If I am an Angel again, I could only watch you from afar and for sure I will never be allowed to be this close to you anymore. I don't think I would want that. I don't think I could ever accept that.

If I became human and completely let go of my halo and wings then who knows when I will reincarnate again or where or if I am ever going to see you again and fall in love. with you again. I don't think I could handle the thought that while I am living my life somewhere around the world, you are still here on the same spot where I left you waiting for my return.

I don't like either of the choices. Both choices only leads to us being separated.

"What are you thinking?" She asked.

I wrinkled my brows, "nothing."

"You were staring intently into my eyes, Brianna."

"Of course I am. How could I not?"

Her cheeks turned pink. "It's really been a long day, huh?"

I nodded.

"Do you want to eat? Do you want Thai food?"

I shook my head, "I didn't get to finish the curry from earlier."

"Oh."

"Can you cook that for me again?"

"Ugh..."

"I'm sorry if I think ill of you. I really am."

She smiled weakly, "it's fine. Sure, I guess I can cook that for you. Though I don't think Jessica have the ingridients."

"Let's go to the grocery?"

"No, you stay here and rest. I'll take care of it."

"But-"

I want to stop her but I don't want to act so obvious that I heard everything. But I think she'll meet up with that half-demon again to discuss this problem.

"I'll be back in an hour or two." She kissed my forehead again and disappeared like a bubble in front of my eyes.

I can't go to sleep like this.

I heard glasses breaking outside of the room so I got up and checked.

"My my, we woke up the damsel," Jessica smirked.

"I heard something breaking..." As I said that, I saw a head popping out between Jessica's legs. They were behind the bar so I didn't see the other person immediately.

"It's me. Sorry," the other woman said.

Jessica brushed the woman's pink hair, "don't mind her. She's just a visitor."

I gulped. "I didn't mean to disturb you."

I guess this is the 'habit' Jessica was pertaining to earlier.

"I don't really mind. Do you want to join?" Jessica teased. "Threesome is fun too. Or do you want to do it with Faye?"

I know for sure my whole face and ears just turned red. I shook my head furiously, "N-no! I am nit that kind of person!"

"Why? What kind of person do you think I am?"

"Ah...ah..." I looked around the condo. The whole interior just screams 'Jessica' from the red fur carpet, black leather sofa, marbled bar...I feel a bit out of place.

"Ah?"

"A nice person for letting me stay here. That's all! Please proceed with whatever you are doing. Don't mind me." I slammed the door close in shame.

My heart is nervously beating fast. I should've just stayed in bed! What was I thinking?

I jumped back on the bed and covered myself with a blanket. I should just peacefully wait for Faye's return.

I want to get my phone to call Sofia but I forgot it back at home.

Home...

I wonder how mom is. I don't really want to sleep with this pain in my heart. As Faye said before, I should fix such problems before going to sleep.

But I don't thinki my mom is ready to talk to me either. I think she doesn't want to see me for a while.

"Ahh!" I heard Jessica's moan along with a couple of glass shattering again.

She's really having the time of her life out there.

I fixed myself on the bed to stare at the ceiling.

"Come on!" Jessica shouted.

This is the same room that Faye has been staying for the past hundred years. I wonder how she was able to live like this with Jessica being so noisy and the room being almost unlivable.

Well, I guess if you have a dying wish, you really wouldn't care about your living situation. It will be easier to leave if you don't attach yourself with anything.

I sighed.

If I became human...Faye will remain immortal. Then it means that she'll have to stay in this kind of living situation forever.

No, Faye can't live like this forever.

I want her to be happy too and staying with me is just torture for her.

I guess in the end, I have to let her go.

Fine, I'll let her kill me. Then Jessica will kill her. Then that'll be the end if the story. I could watch Faye from afar. I will take care of her even though she will never remember me again.

As long as she could finally live happily.
