Untangled

MY ANGEL

A boy is trembling on the ground while Daryl is crying near Christine’s body, someone already called the ambulance, and the area is in chaos, there are a lot of whispers and crying that is happening.

Unknown POV

It’s my entire fault; it’s my entire fault, why did it come to this. I am sitting on the ground right now, when I should be the one who is lying on the ground. Blood, blood she is soaking with her blood. Everything that they have said to me is true, anything I touch will be broken, everyone who I became close with will be in danger, anyone who will love me will encounter misfortune, why did you do it, why did she save me?

Daryl POV

It is all my fault if I did not force her to stay if we just went home like we used to do, she will not be in the hospital, my teachers did not allowed me to go with her, one of my teacher rode with her inside the ambulance, I want my mom, I want my mom. There is war that is happening in my mind. Everything is my fault. I am the one who should be blamed.

After a couple of hours, Daryl’s mother is running toward him. When he saw his mom he ran toward her they met in the middle, he hugged her tightly and cried on her shoulder.

“Mommy let’s go to Christine I want to see her, I want to see her” Daryl kept on telling his mother while he was crying.

His mother brought him and went home. Michelle does not know what to do when she sees Daryl like a mess, this is the first time that she saw her son who is a crying mess. She can’t bring Daryl to the hospital. He looks shocked. He kept on repeating that it is his fault that everything that happened to Christine was his fault. When she asked Daryl what happened he cried and buried his face to his knees and while rocking himself he kept whispering that it is his fault, she hugged her son like there is no tomorrow.

After 2 days

Daryl went to the hospital with some flowers in his hands. He picked it up himself in their garden as a sign of peace. When he opened the door he saw Christine look at him and smiled, he still felt guilty for what happened to Christine, he blamed himself repeatedly.

Christine knows that Daryl blames himself; she overheard Aunty Michelle talking to her mom while she pretended that she was asleep.

Christine POV

“Hello Daryl” I said to him, I saw how red his eyes are, and he looked like a mess, he should not blame himself for what happened to me. He sat beside me and looked at me and he cried, after a couple of minutes when he stopped crying he asked me what really happened.

Flashback

I was having fun, while Daryl is chasing me, he is a slow poke I laugh at myself, I saw a strange boy looking at me, when I look at his eyes I saw how sad he is, my mom taught me that you can really see if a person is truly happy when you look them at their eyes, because our eyes can send message to our love once, our eyes are like our soul. When Daryl went to go inside a building to fetch his drink I walk toward the area where I saw the boy but I was shocked when I saw how thin he is, when I was about to tap his shoulder I saw that he look at a certain car and I think he wants to commit suicide. I push him and suddenly everything turns black.

End of flashback

I told Daryl everything and saying that he is mad is an understatement, he look furious, and kept on telling me why would I do that, why would I sacrifice my life for a stranger, to be honest I do not even know what is the reason, but I just want to save him, he looks lonely, he looks sad I want to hug him, I want to protect him.

When my parents found out the reason for my accident I think I saw a mixed emotion, they said that I am a good person but I should never do that again. That boy’s face keeps on lingering on my mind, I want to talk to him, but this little Mr. knows it all is still mad at me, for what I have done. My mom talks to him and try to explain that it is not his fault and he should stop blaming himself.

Unknown POV

I may be young but my biological mom said that I am smart for my age, I know that when the ambulance carried her they will bring her to the nearest hospital, and this is the nearest hospital I saw the boy that is crying beside her came out of a room, and he look at me, everyone is looking at me, because I look odd, I am thin, I have baggy clothes on, my father did not take care of me, instead he beat me, my mom died due to heart attack, when my father is beating me my mom will protect me from him, after a couple of years I have a stepmom, she treated me badly sometimes he threw some food on my face because I remind her my mom, sometimes when I was asleep my father will come to my room and beat me because I remind him of my mom, and kept on saying that, my mom died because of me. I am nobody, I have no one so why would she save me. Is she an angel that my mom said to me before she died, a day before her heart attack happened she told me that someday I will meet my guardian angel who will protect me from everything.

I saw a man who was walking toward me. He must be her father, what a lucky father to have a daughter like an angel.
