Heaven waits for no angels
Race me
Andy’s P.O.V
With my nerves in a wreck and all the money needed, I arrived at the planned meeting place just in time. I know now that the truth is, I have no idea exactly who I’m dealing with, which means I don’t know exactly what I’m going up against. All I know is that it’s going to be one hell of a fight because I’m not giving up, and
dying is not an option.
Some people say looking into those beautiful hazel green eyes that twinkle when she says my name was my first mistake. Some may say she’s not worth risking my life today. Others will say I’m crazy for it. I don’t care. Rome wasn’t built in one single day, but one day someone woke up and thought “I’m going to start building Rome.”. I’m not going to put things off anymore when I can do something about it. I don’t want to “take it slow and let the police do their job” or “wait until the time is right, she’ll be back”. Because we all know she wouldn’t be. Guess what? The right time is now.
Some insensitive prick at the police station told me to cry him a river, that the world has bigger and better problems. But the truth is I’ve already cried a river just knowing she’s not by my side, and if this doesn’t work out today, I’ll cry a whole ocean. She’s worth more than a fucking river. I’m not going to censor my love to comfort someone else’s ignorance.
The day I realized I had fallen in love with AddiLynn, we were sitting outside on the sun porch of my parents home. We had come for dinner since we were already in Ohio for tour, and after dinner we decided to watch the sunset. For a long time we were just sitting there, neither one of us saying anything. We were just waiting. Every once in awhile one of us would say something to make the other laugh, and I just remember thinking “Oh my gosh, that smile, that beautiful fucking smile.”
We were laughing so hard at something so simple and we couldn’t breathe. It’s that feeling like the whole world goes into slow motion and you just feel pure happiness. You’re so full of brightness and everything is funny. You feel like everything is going to be okay and anything is possible. We weren’t really doing anything, but we were completely happy with each other’s company. Just knowing the other was right there, beside you.
That’s how you know you love someone, I guess. When you can’t experience without wishing or making sure the other person is there to experience it too. Having nothing to do that if you were alone, you’d be completely bored. But when the other person is there, you’re just happy, because you know that they are there. That’s all you need when you’re in love, the other person.
A black Audi R8 Spyder Quattro Convertible pulls up next to my car while I’m reminiscing in the past. The windows are tinted, and the driver’s side window goes down slowly. A gun, points to me out the window and a vile looking man speaks. “Got the money?” I tried to remember everything I could about his appearance. Scanning him like he was a grocery store item and I was the cash register. “Yes, I do. Got my girls?” He scoffed at me as if to say “Why would you even ask me that?” He puts down the window behind him halfway, all I can see is a little girl before he puts the window back up.
“Get out of the car, with the money. Put your hands in the air, and walk towards me. I nod at him, take a deep breathe and grab the money beside me. I don’t believe in God, or the angels and all that jazz. But if there’s truly angels, I’m praying they watch over me and my girls at this very moment. I open my door and get out of my car. Shutting the door, I put my hands in the air along with the money. I walk over to his car feeling like I’m walking on a thin wooden board. “Give it to me and you’ll get your girls.” “Give me the girls first.” I respond.
Pounding begins on the back window behind him, and that’s when I knew AddiLynn was really in there too. I hand him the money, and as soon as my hands come off fully, his window goes up and he speeds away. Nearly crushing my feet. I am so stupid. I run back to my car and start to follow them. If it’s a chance he wants, it’s a chase he gets.
The only thing I can hear is the cars and suspenseful music in my head. As I catch up, we’re hand in hand, right next to each other. Remember Andy he has a gun. Turning the wheel, I jam my car into his hoping it would get him off track. Slightly, it worked but not enough to be useful. This is for AddiLynn, Andy. As we fly passed with the speed of lightning, police cars begin to catch up.
Oh, now they’re gonna do their job. He told me no cops, he has a gun and the money. He could kill them right now. With three police cars on our trail, we get faster. He must think they followed me here. A helicopter is in the distance. Either the police are really on this, or it’s a get away escape. Coming to a turn, I hold on tight to my steering wheel praying I make it. Andy, come on now, let’s do this. When I was little, I used to spend hours playing with hotwheels cars. High speed chances was my favorite thing to play. Now, I’m in one for real.
Then, something happens that I never thought possible. The back car door on the passenger’s side opens and gets kicked off. AddiLynn, I know now is using all her strength to help me help her. Christopher must be so busy trying to get away from me he doesn’t even notice what is happening behind him. AddiLynn pops out her head and waves, she’s trying to get my attention. I can only imagine how scared she must be, I’m scared for everyone.
As I watch, AddiLynn’s head goes back into the car and her hands come out. She’s making signals, signals I can’t read. My mind is spinning, our lives are in danger. What is she trying to say? In a matter of a second I realize what she means.
Jump. She’s going to jump.
Before I can react at all, she jumps clinging to her little girl. Protecting her head, and her chest. That was always AddiLynn, thinking of others before herself.

Is there going to be a sequel?
