10. Dear Guardian Angel

"I try to understand the world, but the world never tries to understand me."

____________________________________________

"Guys, I'm telling you, there is something. Something that is looking after us. Guiding us.  It's that girl, I can feel it." Jules protested as his members kept insisting that there was nothing happening to them but just a leap of faith.

Victor and Justin remained silent, believing in him too. It sounded absurd, yes, but they believed that there had to be an explanation to all the unexpected things happening to them.

So the younger's believed it to be a guardian angel, that is ME. However Noah, being an ethist, didn't. The other's thought it as a kid's play since it was only believed by the younger one's, so they too didn't believe in it.

"Jules, that will be enough. You're making no sense. No sense at all."

"But what IF it's true? What then?" Justin pushed on.

"It's not." Jake replied firmly

"WHAT IF?" Asked Victor again.

"Then we just thank the lady for her help. That's all. End of discussion." Steven replied. Once Steven said it, they all obeyed.

I just heard their conversation from one ear and let it out from the other. I was in no mood to listen to a conversation that had been going on since the day Jules got resurrected. I was still in shock from the news I heard earlier.

I was murdered. Someone wanted me dead. Someone had a grudge against me and that was why they wanted me dead. And sure as hell they succeeded. But the main question is, Who?

Pondering over my own thoughts so much, I don't realize that Victor is freaking out because of something.

"My phone! Where the hell is my phone? I just had it when I left home. Where is it?"

I floated down next to Victor and searched around in his jacket pocket with him. The phone was nowhere to be found.

Where the hell is it?

The members starteded searching too but the phone just seemed to have disappeared. But not until-

"Hello! Is anyone there?" I female voice came. The boys tensed all over.

"Who-"  Before Noah could even complete his sentence, Sejin entered, exhausted with an unfamiliar looking woman.

"I'm sorry to disturb. But this woman states that she has Victor's phone. Is that right? Did you loose your phone?" Sejin asked. 

Still surprised by the new comer, Victor just noded his head, his mouth a gaping O.

"Well this woman here says she has it. Says you dropped it on the street. She's  here to return it."  Sejin said, somehow emberrased.

"Yeaaahhhh but-"

Once again, Sejin cut Noah off saying, "I know. I tried telling her she couldn't. But she won't listen. She insisted on coming herself. Said she's a fan and wishes to use this opportunity to see you guys."

The members slowly noded and smiled at the girl.

"I will be waiting outside." Sejin said and left.

Once alone, the girl greeted them, smiling all the while. "Here's your phone... Vicky!" Victor started coughing at the girls sudden closeness. The girl just smiled shyly.

And I? I gagged.

This is complete nuisense.   

"Wah! I can't believe I'm getting to meet you guys like this! It's such an honour! It really is!" The boys slowly started feeling at ease, seeing that the girl was no harm to them.  I rested too. She was just a fan. No harm.

"Well, what your name?" Victor asked, making the girl blush a beet red as she shyly said, "Hanna. My name's Hanna Winter."

Excuse me, I need to go throw up. Too much cringe here.

"Ah! Hanna, thank you so much for your favour. We really are grateful to you. You really didn't have to go through this great length to do all this." Noah said politly. Come one Noah, that's what any fan would do.

But the girls expression changed. One minute she was all the smiles, and the next, she was shooting daggers at Noah.

"We really are thankful to you. Would you like to have a drink?" Victor's voice utterly changed the girls expression again. It seemed like she, like me, was biased with Victor. Anything he said her made her happy.  

Only that I didn't shoot daggers at the other members like she was.

"Sure I would love to! Why not?" Hanna said happily. She was happy to the brink of exploding. Anybody would. Get a request from a Heathens member to have a drink with you and see who doesn't react this way.

But just then, Hanna's balloon burst. Sejin entered the room again. "Alright guys. Mr. Albright wants to see you guys. And the Tomorrow boys. Get ready. And miss, you need to leave now."

Hanna turned to look at Sejin with murder in her eyes. Then again, she turned towards the boys with puppy dog eyes. But this time, the boys had nothing to offer her.

"I'm sorry Hanna. We didn't know this was coming. As you know we can't cancel this. You understand us don't you?" Victor said.

Hanna, with a lot of force, mustered up a smile and said, "It's okay. I understand. You don't have to worry. I will be leaving then. Bye!" With slow steps, Hanna finally left.

"Woah! Wasn't she not the coolest fan we have seen so far? Wow! I mean her guts! Damn!" Heli said in enthusiasm, while I snorted to myself. The others agreed.

Victor took a look at his phone contents and everything was just fine. He smiled after the gone girl. And also making want to barf all over again. Jees, she just brought a lost phone while I saved Jules's life. Can it.

"Indeed. So cool."

-------

I didn't know what it was, whether I was jealous or what, but for some reason, I didn't like the look on Hannas eyes. She only smiled if Victor said anything. Other then that, she looked retarted. It was like, she was completely INTO Victor. Like a stalker. Something was not right.

After tugging the boys neatly in bed, I took my position on the window of Victor's room. Having nothing to do, I returned to my thinking.

I sighed. Even though I did nothing the whole day, I still couldn't make time to go visit the police station. I had to stick with the boys the whole time.

Whoever the person that murdered me was, knew me. That person had something against me. Something so intense, that it could lead them to no other choice but murder.

Could it be the bullies back at school? They did hate me. But was their hate so great that it would lead them to kill someone? Someone their own age?

Come on Jisoo, think rationally. The world is not that kind anymore. Anyone can murder.  Even a mother can murder her own child.

Mother.

My mom. What if, what if she...

But before I could ponder more over my thoughts, I got disturbed by noises coming from Victor's direction. I turned to look and their he was, sitting upright on his bed.

He looked stern but. Suddenly he took a deep breath and said, 'Alright let's do this. Listen to me, Dear Guardian Angel, If you really are there, I would like you to show your presence. You don't have to show, just, just write something in this paper."

He said, Taking out a paper from the drawer. I smiled. He repeated the same thing again, until I was finally face to face with him.

This won't work, Victor. This won't work. You need something more stronger than this. Something like ouja.

But the look on his face made my rotten heart melt so much that I even lifted the pencil. The pencil floated in thin air, since I used telekinisis.

Victor's eyes grew wide and his breathing went faster. But he still remained composed as if he was expecting this. "Are you really there? Please write yes or no."

That, Victor, cannot be done.

He waited and waited until I finally gave in.  Even though I knew it wouldn't work, I just wanted to try for his sake. And what happen next just drove me nuts.

How is this possible?

Sitting there on Victor's bed, I picked up the mortal pencil and wrote down one mortal word. And as if one miracle wasn't enough, another occured. Right before Victor's eyes, the word appeared.

"Yes."
