Private Angel Log Entry Eight

Private Angel Log Entry Eight

"I'm coming baby..."

Gerard's voice permeated through my sleep addled brain, it was faint - so faint, I shouldn't even have awoken, but I had been so desperate for any sign of him that my body had seemed to know how important it was that I was awake to hear this; unless this was just a dream, and I was still sleeping that is - which was entirely possible, but I was definitely awake now.

Peeling my eyes open wearily, I glanced around Mikey's room, noticing the fact that night had fallen while we slept, but besides that, absolutely nothing had changed. Mikey was still slumbering next to me; I debated waking him to ask if he had heard anything from Gerard, but I decided against it, he was so ill he probably wouldn't have noticed if someone broke down the door with a chainsaw.

I also wasn't sure how advanced his demon powers were, as far as I knew, he and Gerard had never communicated telepathically, but it was feasible that they had been doing it all along and I just hadn't noticed.

Needing to keep myself occupied, I headed downstairs to make a cup of coffee, and maybe something to eat as well if my nervous stomach could handle it; which to be honest, it probably couldn't, but at least I could waste some time making something. As I puttered around in the kitchen, I continued to strain my senses, but if Gerard was out there, he was too far away for me to be able to detect him.

I swore I heard Gerard calling to me, but I had no way to respond to him, and it really all could have been my imagination constructing something I was so desperate to hear. It was times like these that I truly hated the fact that he was a demon and I was an angel, I couldn't communicate with him like I could others of my kind, and it chafed at me.

Angels could tune into demon's mental frequencies if their telepathic speech was strong enough, or if they had a good sense of the demon's aura, but it didn't work the other way around, which was very unfair to demons, and someone should really look into that.

"Baby - I'm on my way home..."

I dropped the coffee mug I had been holding, ignoring the loud crash that accompanied it, focusing only on my lover's voice that I was one hundred percent sure was real now. My heart beat sped up, and it seemed to me like it started beating again, because it had stopped - metaphorically speaking - when Gerard left, but now I was alive again, because he was alive. All thoughts of caffeine forgotten, I hurried upstairs to tell Mikey the good news.

"Mikey - wake up! Gerard is on his way back! He's okay!" I was basically bouncing on the bed in my excitement, but somehow he took no notice of my presence.

"Mikey?"

When I still received no response, I began to panic, Mikey couldn't give in - not now - not when Gerard was heading back to save him. I pressed my fingers against his neck, sighing in relief when I found a pulse - albeit a week one. He was still alive - just barely, but all he had to do was hang on just a little bit longer.

I begged the universe not to be so cruel as to take Mikey away when everything was close to being better, that just couldn't happen, because yes, the world was a fucked up place, but it couldn't be this fucked up - not this time.

I was too nervous to leave his side just in case his condition worsened, if it was even possible for Mikey to get any worse than he already was, so I crawled back into his bed, trying to share some of my body heat with him since he was shivering violently. Time passed slowly, but every hour or so, Gerard called out to me again, and it made the wait more bearable, because it was borderline unbearable the rest of the time.

I was too scared to move, but too antsy to sit still, and the nervous energy bottled up inside of me was threatening to tear me apart, and it was probably a good thing that I didn't drink that cup of coffee, because the added stimulation would not have been good for me in my current condition.

When I heard the front door open, I flew downstairs - literally flew, feet just didn't seem fast enough when I had wings at my disposal. When I saw my demon in the doorway, looking disheveled, but ecstatic, I launched myself directly into his arms, wrapping my wings around him in an intimate embrace.

I managed to knock him off his feet with the force of my assault, but he didn't seem to mind at all if the expression on his face was any indication. I seemed to have forgotten how to speak, I had so many things I wanted to tell him, but my tongue had frozen up, so I did the next best thing and kissed him with all of the passion that I could muster.

He immediately kissed back, threading his fingers through my wings in a way that had me shuddering against him. I couldn't seem to stop touching him, kissing him, holding him, because I had to make sure he was real; I had to reassure myself that this was really happening, and my baby was safe in my arms, because it all seemed like a dream still, and if it was, then I never wanted to wake up.

"I see somebody missed me," Gerard chuckled when we finally pulled apart. I felt a slight wetness on my cheeks, apparently I had been crying again, but this time they were tears of joy instead of sorrow.

"Wherever did you get that idea?" I teased, retracting my wings so he could get up off the floor, and it was only then that I noticed that we had company in the form of a burly blonde demon who was standing awkwardly in the doorway.

"Should I go take a walk so you two can catch up?" the demon chuckled lightly, and I relaxed the muscles that had reflexively tensed up in case I had to attack this stranger.

"Oops - I forgot to do introductions. Frank, this is Bob, he is a good friend of mine and he helped me escape Hell - both times actually."

"Well then you have my thanks," I smiled broadly, anyone who helped out Gerard was a friend of mine.

"How's Mikey?" Gerard asked while digging in his bag, which was filled to the brim with what I assumed was Livian.

"Not too good actually, I think you made it just in time." Gerard nodded, his face set in a serious expression as he removed a vial and headed upstairs, Bob and I on his heels.

"Hey Mikey - I'm back," Gerard whispered softly as we entered his room, but Mikey was still unresponsive.

"I haven't been able to wake him up Gee, he seemed okay this afternoon, but then we fell asleep and he has been like this for a few hours."

"Well hopefully he will be able to swallow this," Gerard worried his bottom lip in-between his teeth as he unstopped the Livian.

"Only give him a mouthful, Brendon sent me a letter, apparently that stuff is super addicting," I warned Gerard, and he nodded in understanding, but something else flashed across his face - fear maybe, or worry, I wasn't sure, but I wrote it off instantly, too concerned over Mikey in this moment to pry into it further.

"Well here goes nothing," Gerard sighed as he poured a small amount of the yellow liquid into Mikey's mouth, massaging his throat to make sure some of it went down.

The results were almost instantaneous, as we watched with bated breath, Mikey's skin began to take on a healthy color instead of the sallow shade it had been previously; his breathing became deeper, and much more regular, and then the moment we had all been waiting for occurred, his eyes fluttered open and he smiled up at us.

"I knew you would do it Gerard," were the first words out his mouth, and Gerard was the picture of happiness, beaming like the sun before engulfing his brother in a hug. Bob and I stayed back, giving the brothers their moment and internally awwing over their happy reunion - well at least I was.

"How are you feeling bro?" Gerard's voice was slightly choked up, and I could tell he was holding back tears.

"Amazing actually, and fuck - I'm starving, is there any food in this house?"

We all burst out laughing at his statement, and it felt so good to be able to laugh again, because for a short time, I had been worried that I would never laugh again. I mean, I had run the risk of losing my love and one of my good friends all in one day, but we had cheated fate and come out the victors.

We all headed downstairs to make Mikey something to eat, and as I watched Gerard fussing over his brother like a worried mother, I truly felt like I was part of a family, and that was an amazing feeling.

Gerard would sneak over to my side every other minute and press a soft kiss against my lips before dashing away again to stir something on the stove, because for some reason, he had demanded that he be the one to cook, even though - let's face it - I am much better at it. Even Bob slipped seamlessly into our makeshift family, regaling Mikey with what was a probably over exaggerated version of their escape from Hell, but I had to hand it to him, he was a good story teller.

I couldn't keep my eyes of Gerard, I could probably watch him forever and never get bored. He seemed so much happier than he had been in ages, and why shouldn't he be? He was alive, Mikey was in a good health once again, and best of all, we were together, and we were safe, and I intended to keep it that way.

Now that we had the Livian, and thanks to Brendon, a way to make it if we ever ran out, we could truly start our lives, which had been put on hold ever since Mikey had fallen ill, but now all of that was behind us.

I knew everything wasn't perfect yet, I still had to deal with the problems in Heaven, and the angels that may or may not be showing up here at any time, but right now, it really didn't worry me, because I had Gerard back, and with him by my side, I could face anything.

Hurray I updated, and for once, I am actually pretty happy with this chapter.
