Forever Lonely - Isabelle Johnson + Kaori Rose (ebook smartphone txt) 📗

type of lingerie, which boys would kill to see a girl in.
It was evening.
"Awake, Sugar?" Gage said, walking over to me, this time in jeans and bandages.
"Wow, JEANS and bandages? Big improvement from BOXERS and bandages." I said, my voice hushed, cracking in the end.
"Haha. Are you okay?" Gage asked, crawling on the bed next to me, propped on his side.
"I'm tired, and drenched in sweat." I said, trying to push him away.
"Don't. I won't pull anything. Henry will be back in a few seconds to check on you. He's so worried, he might have a mental breakdown." Gage said.
I giggled.
"That would be interesting." I giggled.
"It turns me on when you giggle." Gage said, laying closer to me, despite that there was a blanket wall of protection around me.
"Gage." A voice snapped.
Henry.
Gage backed away from me, falling off the bed head first.
I scooted over to look, not able to stop my giggling.
Gage looked confused.
His hair ruffled, his eyes shaken up, his legs the only thing not on the ground, instead hanging on my bed.
"That still turns me on." I heard him mutter, as he got up and brushed himself off.
"What happened to you? You were flipping out before you passed out again." Henry asked, coming over with a plastic bag, tied at the handles.
Forgetting I had on the boy-toy lingerie on, I got up, saying, "I would like to get dressed before I explain. What is that?"
Gage's eyes widened, as he flushed a bright red.
Henry's reaction was similar, though he covered Gage's eyes with his hand.
"Clothes for you. They're from Olive...Mrs. Stalin." Henry said, tossing me the bag.
I opened it and smiled.
A white lace shirt, along with a red corset, and black skinny jeans. there was a red bandana, and owl studs.
I quickly threw them on, pulling my white hair into a bun with the bandana.
Henry uncovered Gage's eyes, and I was rewarded with an awkward silence.
"Damn." Gage muttered, his eyes scanning me.
"So...Do you two promise you won't like go feral and kill me once I tell you?" I asked Gage and Henry.
"Yeah." They replied.
"Okay...So, how should I tell you..." I trailed off repeating my memory, grabbing Gage and Henry by the hands, to show them the memory, hoping my kill-them-dead power wouldn't turn on.
Memory after memory, I cried out at the pain of them, as if I were the Aureli in my memories.
When I was finished, Henry and Gage stared at me, gaping in shock.
"You...you..." Gage trailed off gawking at me.
"Are an angel-demon, yes." I nearly snapped.
I gasped at the pain that gripped me. I fell back into the hospital bed.
"Aureli, why didn't you tell us?" Henry said as calmly as possible.
Under his composed smile I saw a ripple of confusion, and what was that? Distrust.
"I barely knew you. I thought I couldn't trust anyone after what happened. I mean, I've killed an angel, an angel executioner, gotten chased by angels, and when I thought my only sanctuary was hell they kicked me out! What would you have done?" I nearly yelled, my voice rising with emotion.
Henry backed off looking taken aback and Gage flinched.
Tears sprung up in my eyes unexpectedly. What was wrong with me? It wasn't even my fault! I swiped at the tears angrily anger and guilt burning inside of me. Henry eyed my tears with an expert eye and said softly,"Aureli, we're not blaming you. We just...just...it’s hard to believe."
His consolation didn't help. If anything it made me even more furious.
"So you're calling me a liar?!" I yelled at both of them, even though Gage hadn't said anything.
They both stared at their feet and I had a sudden urge to throw something at them. I itched to get away from this room and escape into the land near the heavens.
"Where's the nearest exit?" I asked.
Henry cocked his head at me but pointed towards a door several rows of beds down.
I angrily stomped to the door, making a point of making as much racket as possible. I fling the door open and step out into the cool night.
The sky still had a sheen of light orange but the velvety darkness of night was slowly creeping in and brushing it away. The first star of the night winked at me.
I spread my wings and flew up.
Henry

I watched her stomp down the aisle of hospital beds before she opened the door and stepped out. Through the window I could see her look around for a moment before spreading out what I assumed to be her wings and taking off. Her wings were feathery, resembling those of angel wings. But what caught my attention, is under them, another pair of wings unfolded, but they were differently colored. They were gold, like the sunset.
I sighed and looked back at Gage.
He was looking at me with a look that clearly said that he was going to tell me something that would start a fight between us.
"Now I really want to get in between her legs." He thought out loud.
Grr...I was going to kill him. If anything, she was going to be mine, and mine only. I would not-could not-share her with anyone, especially Gage.
In blind anger, I shoved Gage. He staggered back, looking pissed off.
He went to punch me, but with my vampire speed, I dodged it, throwing a punch at Gage. There was no way he could dodge it; it connected with his face, causing his nose to bleed. Punch after punch, Gage missed and I hit, until I was sure I had broken his nose.
"She will be mine." Gage hissed, finally able to punch me. He connected with my gut, causing a pain to spring up my torso. For a human, he was strong. Not strong enough.
I grabbed his left arm, putting it into an arm lock. I twisted and turned, until I both heard and felt his arm snap. Gage yelled in pain. I dropped his arm, grinning in victory.
As if she had heard it, Aureli came in, taking one look at Gage, and back at me, before rushing over to Gage. Gage was broken and battered, holding his arm carefully. She looked at his arm, and said, "It's broken in three different places."
She turned to me, rage in her lavender eyes. She came over to me. Like a whip, she slapped me across the face.
"I leave for one single effing minute and you break his arm?! What the hell is your problem! Even if he acts like an idiot, that doesn't mean you break his arm three effing times!?" She yelled.
"Aureli, I didn't mean to-" I started to say, before she cut me off.
"Now you can either stay here and help, or go back to our room and wait for me." She snapped.
I stalked out, but I still watched through the door crack.
Aureli walked over to Gage, kneeling down to help him.
"I'm gonna help okay?" She said.
Gage nodded.
In a quick motion, Aureli leaned in and kissed Gage. Her body went from the light tone, to a purple-hue. The purple traveled from Aureli to Gage, and down to his arm. His arm mended by itself, before the purple returned to Aureli as she pulled back.
"Better?" She asked.
Gage no longer looked broken and battered, he looked good as new. His arm was fixed, there was no blood on him or his clothes, and he was grinning.
"I think you should kiss me again just to be sure." He grinned.
"If I hadn't just healed you, I would slap you upside the head." She said.
I barged in then.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" I exclaimed.
"Raphael Blessing. It heals any injury as if it never happened. There are other ways to do the Raphael Blessing, such as sex, but there was no way I was going to do more than a kiss." She answered.
"What?! I could have been healed through sex? I need to hurt myself more, including my lips." Gage said.
That time Aureli did smack Gage.
I laughed.
She glared at me. If looks could kill, I would be dead.
I shrunk back as she towered over me. She looked like she was going to throttle me, so I was surprised when her voice came out gentle and low.
"Henry, I don't know why you did this or who started the fight, but you need to listen to me. You guys need to stop this I'm-more-perfect-than-you act and just get along. Whatever started the fight you guys need to work out because I don't think I can stand another fight where one of you gets hurt acting holier-than-thou."
Her gentle approach came and slapped me across the face. It was worse than being yelled at.
She turned around and looked at Gage.
"Did you hear that Gage?" she asked with her voice still even and calm.
"Yes master." Gage replied with a sarcastic smile.
She rolled her eyes.
There's the Aureli I knew and, though she didn't know it, loved.
She turned back to me and said, "I'm gonna go to bed."
I checked the clock.
"It's only 6."
She glanced at the clock and replied, "I don't know about you but this day has taken its toll on me. I'm gonna sleep on it."
Then she walked out of the room.
Gage stared towards the door and said, "She didn't even eat dinner. She hasn't eaten anything today."
"God you sound pathetically motherly. She can take care of herself." I retorted.
Gage humped and replied, "I'm just worried for her."
"I hate to break promises with Aureli, but if you act like her boyfriend one more time I'm gonna kill you, shove you in a closet, and tell everyone you had an accident."
"And if I tell you I AM her boyfriend?"
"My friend over here will send you to China." I said holding up my fist.
"Ooh, I love Chinese food." Gage said, mocking my threat.
"You are utterly completely hopeless. Even Aureli wouldn't be able to mold you into something useful." I replied, shaking my head.
I headed for the door, when Gage's remark stopped me cold.
"At least I can give her something you can't." Gage retorted.
I spun around, anger welling up in me, ready to explode at Gage.
"And WHAT is it that you can give her that I can't?" I asked.
"You can't live with her. One day she may die, and you'll leave her. I can be faithful. I can die with her. I can give her children. ALL things you CAN'T do." Gage said, before stifling a laugh of victory.
I nearly exploded. I promised Aureli I would apologize. I better do it before I explode from rage.
"Gage, I am sorry for injuring you." I said through my teeth before running out of the door.
I hit the first thing I could find: A
