My Fallen Angel

I walk into the Starbuck’s for the 5th time this week and look around, frustrated at the fact that that man still isn’t here. I walk over to the counter and order another earl grey tea latte and sit at a table. One of the baristas brings me my drink and I set it down. Dammit, I should’ve gotten his number or something. I look around one last time before getting up and leaving.

-Hey, wanna meet me somewhere? - I send to Nick

-Sure, wow this texting thing is weird – He sends back a few minutes later

-How bout the park over by your apartment-

-Alright see you there-

I put my phone back in my pocket and wander over to the park. Awhile later, Nick comes up and sits next to me on the bench

“Still no luck with that Andrew guy?” He asks

I sigh “No”

“Why are you so caught up in him anyway?”

“Because, before he woke me up by slamming something in my house I was dreaming about him and I had been for the past week”

“So?”

“You don’t get it, you even said ‘demons don’t dream’, you just wouldn’t understand”

“Actually I have been dreaming and I gotta tell you, it’s weird”

I laugh “Maybe it’s just Hell doesn’t let you dream”

“Maybe, Hell doesn’t let you do a lot of things”

I laugh again

“Hey! It’s true! I couldn’t even have a girlfriend because of how low a demon I was”

“How low?” I ask

“Like almost bottom low”

“So is it like the Cast system or something?”

“The what?”

I laugh at him again. It’s weird talking to someone who doesn’t know stuff that every human knows “Never mind”

“No, I wanna know! If it’s like a normal thing for people to know”

“It is, you only learn it every year you have history in school”

“God, I remember history... So what is it?”

“I don’t really know how to explain it. Uhmmm there are different levels, like a working class, a warrior type class, a nobility class...”

“Yep, pretty much Hell, so I would’ve basically been the working class”

“Yea, probably”

“So” He asks “Do you have wings?”

“Yea, I do actually, but I’ve never really used them.”

“Really!? But it’s so much fun!”

“Well, there is a place I could try them out, do you still have wings?”

“Heck yes! And I’ve been dying to extend them”

“Well then follow me”

We get up and I lead him quite a ways out of town down a long dirt road

“Well, here it is” I say, gesturing to an old abandoned warehouse

“Oooh is so... creepy... here”

“Yea, I guess that’s why I was drawn to it when I was younger”

“It literally has the atmosphere of hom-Hell” He says

“Really? Hm, maybe that’s why I like it here so much”

“So, ready to fly?”

“I-I don’t know... I’ve only ever used my wings once and that’s a time I’d like to forget”

“Come on, it’s fun, I promise”

I sigh “Whatever you say, Nick”

We climb on top of the warehouse and stand on the edge. I sigh and unfold my wings, followed soon after by Nick.

“You ready?” He asks, extending his hand to me

“As I’ll ever be” I say and take his hand and we take off, flying over the forest

After about an hour, we land back on top of the warehouse

“That was awesome!” I squeal

“See, I told you”

We sit down on the edge of the warehouse roof

“I didn’t realise it could be so much fun, last time my wings were extended I-“I cut myself off abruptly

Nick looks at me with concern “You...?”

“Never mind” I say quickly

“You know you can tell me if you’ve done something bad, I won’t judge, I mean I almost killed someone” He says

“It’s nothing”

“If you say so”

“I should get going” I say hopping down from the roof and landing on my feet

He follows suit “Alright, let me walk you home”

We walk back to my place talking about random things. When we get to the end of my driveway, I wave at him and we go our separate ways

I walk into my house and gasp

“Hey sorry, didn’t mean to startle you” She says
