MY angel

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Brian yelled

I pushed Nick away but I wasn't sure if I had gotten there in time. I heard another gun shot and saw Rick go down. That is when I felt the pain in my chest. I was amazed that I was still standing but then I started to fall backwards. I heard Nick call my name and I saw him come into my view. Then I blacked out.

I began to open my eyes. Well at least I thought I was anyway. When I did I saw mostly blackness with a light that came though the ceiling. As I looked at it the light got bigger.

"Hi Rachel." A male voice said. I got nervous so I stood up. I realized that I wasn't in pain any more. I looked at my arms and they were healed. 'This is weird' I thought to myself. I then looked back up to where the voice was coming from.

"Where am I? Who are you?" I asked.

"I am your guardian angel Rachel." The voice said "and you are between life and death right now." I got scared.

"Am I gonna die?"

"Well, it really isn't your time yet. That bullet wasn't meant for you. It was meant for Nick." He said again.

"There was no way I was going to let Nick get hurt. He means a lot to a lot of people. Including me." I said almost ready to cry.

"I know and that kind of selfless act is why God is saying you can go back if you want to. But before you do, God wants you to look at something." He said. Just then a window opened up on the floor of where I was. I looked through it. I was lying in a hospital bed and I looked like sheer hell. I heard the machines keeping me alive but I also heard someone crying. The vision widened on the floor. I saw Nick sitting on a chair next to my bed and holding my limp hand.

"Rachel this man loves you very much and I know that you love him but I am showing you this because no matter what happens and no matter what you fight about, you two have survived this. This tragedy will keep the love with in you both because you know how precious life is." He said to me. I then heard the door of the room open and saw my family as well as the 4 other guys come into the room. "Also remember that these people love you with all their hearts."

"I know." I said still looking through the window.

"No you don't. All those times before you met Nick, you were thinking of suicide. Look at the people you would have hurt." He said and I looked back down. That was true and I felt really guilty for even thinking that now.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"I know and so does the guy upstairs." The angel said.

"I want to go back." I said looking in the direction of where the voice was coming from.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. But just one thing. Who are you?" I asked wondering who was watching over me. I saw a young man come out of the shadows. He was no older then 18 and very handsome. He had blond hair and blue eyes. He looked so familiar to me.

"My name is Andrew. I'm your baby cousin." He said with a bright smile. My mouth dropped.

"But you were 14 months old when you died and that was only two years ago." I said in shock.

"Yes I know but He wanted me to be older so I could watch over you. What you are seeing is what I would have looked like if I had lived." He said warmly. I walked over to him.

"You are so handsome Andrew." I said looking at him. "Can I hug you before I go?"
