Chapter Twenty
Last Updated:
2021-11-19 02:41:21It was the night of the concert. I was nervous but what the heck! I came here for a battle, and I had every intention to win. I was tired of people at Leighton High thinking they were better than me. They were not! So they shouldn’t really look or think down on me.
When I told Denise and Chaise that I agreed to play a song with the band, they were over the moon. They went out of their way to support me.
Denise lent me a checkered skirt that ended a few inches above my knees and a pair of black boots that she’d never worn. She also got me a black long-sleeved cropped top that teased a peek of my flat tummy.
Dominic brought his girlfriend Kaia, who happened to be a body painter. She took time to paint flowers and swirls on the side of my cheek where my scars were. She also braided my hair to reveal her handiwork on my face. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I was surprised. I couldn’t even tell that I had a scar on the skin she painted on.

I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. Hunter took a step forward and pulled me into his arms. He studied my face for a moment. I was afraid that my cheeks were crimson red, and he could see right through me. “Angel…” he whispered. “Are you okay?” I nodded. He titled my chin up so I could look at him. “Hey, this is me. You can tell me anything.” “I know,” I sighed. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. “I’m okay.” I gently pulled away from him and then walked towards the bathroom. “Angel,” he called out and I turned back to him. “If it bothers you, I can sleep in the next room.” I shook my head. “No. It’s fine.” He walked towards me, giving me a reassuring smile. He wrapped his arms around my waist, looked into my eyes and said, “I don’t want you to feel any pressure, angel. I didn’t bring you here so I could seduce you.” My heart stopped beating altogether. “I just want us to have some alone
Wingless and Beautiful Chapter Thirty-Six
Chamuel – the archangel of peaceful relationshipsMy life for the following months had been pure bliss. I was not exactly invisible to the people in school because Hunter was always beside me. And he was definitely not invisible—especially to the girls. I knew they still couldn’t believe that I could score a guy like Hunter. I didn’t care what they thought. As long as they kept their thoughts—especially their limbs—to themselves and leave us the hell alone.Hunter never missed picking me up in the morning and driving me back from school every night. He was a way better guardian angel than Chaise ever was.It took a good twenty-four hours for Denise to recover from her shock when Hunter and I showed up in their house, holding hands. We finally explained to her how we first met at CRC when Hunter was still blind and how we fell in love.“She was the reason why I agreed for a transplant. I love

“Who me? No, I’m not…” I started but he silenced me with a kiss.“You are,” he said. “Why do you think I punched Don Winston in the first place?”“Because he poured ketchup all over me?”“And he didn’t just do that to embarrass you. Guys have different ways of expressing a crush, angel. Winston’s brain was just tiny. He hadn’t graduated from kindergarten tactics yet.”“Seriously?” I asked in shock.“Seriously. And since you played in that concert, the list of guys I would threaten to stay away from you has increased ten-folds.”“Lie!”“I wish it was,” he muttered under his breath.He took my hand in his and intertwined our fingers. As he opened the doors to Burger Inn, he raised our hands to his lips and gave my fingers a kiss, deliberately letting everybody see.I felt

Ariel – The "lion of God", an angel of protectionWith that, Hunter took the phone from me and said, “Stop interrupting my date, cuz. Tell your mom I would be home late. Talk to you later.” And he hung up on her.I groaned. “She is so going to kill me!”He laughed. “She’s been trying to do that to me for the last seventeen years but so far she hasn’t succeeded yet. Don’t worry. She’s not very good with assassination plots.”I laughed and then I rested my head on his shoulder again. After a minute, my phone beeped.It was Denise: Seriously, Alice? Hunter? I smiled. Hunter took my phone from me and typed a message: Seriously, Cuz. Me. – HDenise: You two have some serious explaining to do. I wanna kill both of you!Hunter chuckled.“You’re not going to reply for me?”He shook his head. &ldqu

Raphael – the Archangel who brings healingAlice.I couldn’t find my voice. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I couldn’t understand why or how it all happened. But the truth was right before my eyes.Hunter slowly approached me. The expression on his face was soft and gentle. Gone was the look of disgust or anger that he usually wore whenever he saw me.“Hunter? You? You were the guy who always followed me home? You were the one who saved me from those potheads?”He reached out to wipe my tears with his fingers. Then he nodded gently.“How?”He took a deep breath. “When I came back, the first thing that I did was look for you. But you moved and didn’t leave a forwarding address. I didn’t have your number. I have a faint idea how you look like. But other than that, I had no clue how to really find you.“When Denise mentioned that sh

I remembered before I left, I asked her to write a diary for me so I could read it when I return.I felt like my heart just broke inside my ribcage.She had kept her promise.I took the diary and climbed up on the bench to sit on top of the table, facing the lake.I flipped through the pages and started reading the words that she wrote for me.Dear Hunter…I don’t know how long I sat there, reading every word. She wrote me almost every day, telling me everything that happened to her since I left.Dear Hunter,Today, we needed to move houses. Meredith could no longer afford this house. I totally understand that. My mother didn’t exactly leave her with a huge inheritance. I was just worried about how you would find me. I didn’t know how to reach you so I could give you my new address. But I know… you would find me. No matter what. We would
