TWELVE.

“Would you please explain to me why you’re not speaking to me?” Jensen prompted the next morning as we were awkwardly seated at the kitchen table.

I didn’t answer as I adjusted the bandage on my head - the bandage in which Jensen had applied to my head the night before. He’d told me he’d taken me to the hospital but that was a lie.

“Avalon, this is ridiculous. Please speak to me.”

I did nothing but stare at the wall; ignoring my growling stomach and the food in front of me. I didn’t know what to say to him.

“You haven’t spoken to me since last night.”

Again, I didn’t say a word.

“I love you, Avalon.” He got up and effortlessly walked away.

I just sat there, thinking about everything Jensen had confessed to me. I also questioned my sanity. Were there really such things as angels? Did they truly exist in the universe?

I came to the conclusion that this was not a joke. I knew Jensen wouldn’t carry it on this long. And next, maybe he was the crazy one. Maybe he thought he was an angel but he really wasn’t. Then again, how in the world would that explain how he saved me from the almost-car crash or how he was by my side on the couch one second, and in another, tapping my shoulder? Everything was messed up around me and nothing made sense anymore.

I definitely didn’t see this one coming . . . .

For hours after he told me he loved me he explained little details about being an angel - how he didn’t have to eat, drink or bathe, use the bathroom, didn’t crave sex or even need to stay in shape. His body was perfect, no flaws whatsoever. But unlike him I was human and needed a shower. So I went into the bathroom to take care of the responsibility I had to my body - noticing Jensen was looking out of a window in his bedroom.

After drying off once I got out of the shower, I rang out my unruly hair. I used my toiletries, taking off the minimal makeup I had on from the night before. Before departing I wrapped a towel around my now shivering-from-the-cold-body and headed out the door. And there he was, perched on my bed with a pair of sweatpants and t-shirt he picked out. He held a steaming cup of herbal tea in his left hand and a plain bagel with cream cheese in the other - my breakfast. He got up to greet me with a smile on his young face. It was as if he and I were restarting the day over. He was persistent, I had to give him that.

He embraced me in a warm hug - heating my shivering body with his, the tea and bagel surrounding me as well. “How was your shower?” he asked. Whenever I heard his voice pure elation filled my soul, no matter how ridiculous I was beginning to think he was. I didn’t know if I should answer or not.
