Aided by an Angel
Chapter Twenty ; PART II
Miracle's POV:
I ran all the way down to a park that was at least a half a mile from the hotel. I was used to running away from things; after Lilli died, whenever people outside our family would talk about her, I'd run from them. Whenever she was on the news or reporters came to talk about her, I ran. Now, I guess you could say, I run from all of my problems now.
There were a few children running around a small paly area a couple of feet away from the bench I was sitting on. Their mothers sat by near by benches, watching intently and waiting for their babies to need them. I often thought about being a mother one day. Having mine and Zac's babies; they'd have his dark, brown hair and my bright, blue eyes. They'd be gorgeous. And I'd raise them better than I was raised. I wouldn't keep them locked up from the world because I was scared of loisng them. I mean, birds aren't ment for cages; they're ment for flying, right?
Was it right for me to come here, though? Was this bird really ready to fly yet? I had only just graduated high school. Ugh. I placed my face and shut my eyes, hoping everything and everyone would disappear. I imagined the sound of the children playing and the birds chirping would fade away and the light around me just melting away into nothing. I wouldn't have to worry about anything or anyone and life would be simple. But that would never happen.
Something sat in my lap and startled me; I quickly looked up to see Parker's smiling face looking down on me. We locked gazes for a little bit until he pointed for me to glance at my lap. When I did, I saw a dozen light pink roses laying in my lap. My lips parted and I let out an 'awh' when I read the attached card.
Dear Miracle,
I'm sorry for treating you like everyone else. I know I'm supposed to be your best friend. I was wrong and it won't happen again. I'm sorry.
Love Always,
Parker
"Thank you," I sat the roses beside my place on the bench and stood up to give him a hug. His arms gladly embraced me and squeezed me tightly. "And I'm sorry, too. I know you only freaked out because you care for me." I smiled when his soft lips tickled my neck in response.
"It's just, I don't know, I get a little crazy when I don't know where you are. It's scary. I just care about you. A lot." His nose dug into the crook of my neck and I squeezed him harder.
"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." He held me like a lover and I imagined he was Zac; was that wrong? I just miss him so gosh darn much. Maybe I could get him to fly out here to see me sing live? I'm thinking too far ahead; I probably won't even make it passed boot camp. I mean, I'm nothing special. "Hey Styles?"
"Yeah, Mir?"
"I love you." He let me go so he could stare into my eyes. I smiled when his lips came close to my face, kissing the tip of my nose.
"I love you, too," I giggled. How lucky could I get? I had the world's greatest best friend. "Now, how about we get outta here?" I nodded and took his hand. He grabbed the flowers from the bench and escorted me back to the hotel. I hope I make it through boot camp; through the competition too. I can just feel the memories that could be made because of it, and I don't want to miss out on them.
***FAVE/COMMENT/FOLLOW/FEEDBACK***
Thanks for reading, Loves! That last sentence or so is kinda sorta not really foreshadowing. But it's probably not what you think so, hush. Anyway, extremely boring chapter. I know. I hate it too. Pft. So the next one will be the end of the X Factor competition because duh we all know she makes it through, ;P And I'll probably just do flashbacks to stuff that happens during the competition and stuff so yeah. It should get rolling soon! I have soooooooo many great plans for it XD I. AM. SO EXCITED. FOR. IT. yay<3 I love you all! Hashtag contest? Dedicating this chapter to my love, @bowtiesandfezzes cause if it wasn't for her wonderful motivation through my geometry homework, this chapter wouldn't exist. Js. :) xx
