Chapter 18:

I hear myself gasp but I don't care.
"How can that be? What did he do?"
"We were both on a mission together. To save a little girl from getting hit by a car. Roland stopped me a few minutes before. He had said how we shouldn't follow God's rules. I started to think about it and I agreed. It was the worst decision I had made in my life. I let the little girl get hit by a truck and when I tried to get back into Heaven I was rejected. Thrown back on the Earth plane. I realized that I was banished from Heaven though Roland wasn't. Later Roland got out and so  that's the story."
I had this face on when I didn't get why people do these things. I was going to say something but decided against. All I did was reach over and kiss Jacob gently on the lips.
"I'm sorry that happened."
Jacob managed a nod and kissed me back with enthusiam. Just when I was getting started Jacob pulled back and told me to start talking about what had happened this morning. I told him and he said that it was something that came with this.....gift I have. I just nodded understanding what he means.
"Let's have dinner,ok? Then we can do homework together."
I nod and we both start cooking. Pork chops with rice and some veggies. Then we do our homework and we finish. We are about to go to bed when I ask Jacob," C-can I see your wings?"
Jacob stares at me a bit surprised about what I said but he just says ok and takes off his shirt. He then lets his wings out and as he does that some feathers fall off. I watch as they fall one by one. Watching as I feel as my life are like the feathers. Falling...one by one.
"Skylar... are you ok?"
I immediatly look up and say yeah. Jacob sits on the edge of the bed waiting... for me to do something. I move closer to him and reach my hand out without thinking. My hand stops midway before I start to take it back. Jacob's hand shoots out and I turn my head and cringe thinking he'll strike me. But he doesn't, he takes my hand and puts it on the eddge of his wing. The feathers are course and soft. Yet they are strong at the same time. I lean over and kiss his neck then his cheek then his lips. He grabs my waist and lays me on the bed; him on top, his wings still out. He kisses me over and over and I don't stop him. It's just wonderful to know I have him. Mine. I repeat that word over and over. He is mine. I won't let anything happen to him. I WILL learn how to control these gifts. For him. For my parents. For the world.

DONESSS! Thanks!
