Welcome everyone to My Guardian Angel! Thank you to all of you who have supported me all the way through! I can’t believe this is it! However it might not be, I will be releasing a chapter about the events that happen after GA finishes and who knows maybe there will be more in store? Anyway, hope you like it!
He looked down as he told me of the day we first ‘met.’ Why didn’t I remember any of it?
“Because I didn’t want to worry you, plus your ‘mother’s therapists, didn’t want you to.” I nodded, that much I could believe... “Sometimes I wish I never met you, that way you’d be better off.”
I took his face in my hands, “Tell me everything, I want to help you.”
He smiled for a second, “That was the best day of my life.” He whispered in my ear, and then he continued telling me about his past.
I didn’t expect anyone to be there, but there you stood. You looked confused, and beautiful standing there, I didn’t know what to say, I was shy back then.
“It is you!”
“Um, hi?”
You looked confused, but confident at the same time. “I found you again!”
“Again?”
“Silly me! I forgot that YOU had to forget!” Then you smiled at me and took my hand.
“I don’t understand… who are you?”
“Rachel, Rachel Morgan, and I’m here to help you. Help you to live the life you were supposed to live! Your upset, and your scared about your dad, but you need him, you need to grow up happy Taylor…”
Your name was like music to my ears, I think I loved you from that moment on.
“I know how you’re feeling, you miss your mother right? And there is someone else, someone important.”
How did she know this?
“Your special Taylor, you have a bond with your sister, you will see her again! Just keep holding on, you will find her again… and me. We’re linked!”
As she said it things started to come back to me… I made a promise to her. “I promised to be your Guardian Angel.”
She locked her arm around me, “You remembered!”
Then she started to let go, her face dropped… “I’m fading again….”
“When will I see you again?”
“When I need you…”
“What do you mean? What do I need to do?”
“You will know when I need you…. but you will have to leave her…. I’m sorry.”
When she left I was filled with many emotions, confusion, hope and love. She was right, about a lot. I did need to live life, my dad loved me, and I needed to start acting normal around him, around everyone.
I decided to give him another chance, to be more willing to be with him, but it seemed I wasn’t the only one who had the idea… It may have just been a top, but it showed he was willing to be more like a father, instead of a dominating force in my life.
“Hey kiddo, I was worried about you… are you ok?” He’d never asked me that when I went out, and he wouldn’t worry if I was ok he would just ask where I had been. It meant a lot to me, to see him trying like this.
“Sorry for worrying you dad, I just needed to think, which I did. Hey nice shirt Dad, you look cool!” He smiled and ruffled my hair.
Then he took me off guard by hugging me and pulling me close, I didn’t think he knew what a hug was…
“I love you Taylor, you are the most important thing in my life son.”
“I know, I love you to.” I began to cry, I hadn’t cried in a long time, I needed to show my emotions and let people in, Rachel taught me that.
Then my head felt funny. Sort of heavy… like I wasn’t really there.
I remember losing my footing, reaching out for my dad,
“Taylor!”
Then it went dark.
I felt myself waking up in an unfamiliar place, but I couldn’t move... it was like I was still here, but detached from my body. Then I heard a voice You need to protect her… You need to help her…. You are special Taylor…. Your sister has shared some of her powers with you…. now you must learn how to use them, and choose which one of them you will save. You promised you would protect her, but know this, you must save her without her knowing who you are, she will not know you, NOW REMEMBER!
I didn’t know who the voice was, or what she meant about my sister, I was just a kid! But she was right about one thing, me and Rachel had met before, and I promised to help her in the future, she needed me, and I was her Guardian Angel, but I had no idea how to get to her!
Her words gave me strength, you need to move on, and face the world! I had never wanted to be like my father, but I knew I had to be tougher, stronger and wiser…. For her.
My head still hurt like mad, how was I supposed to be her Guardian Angel? How could I be anything? I moaned in pain, and an echo of that pain followed, I turned and saw her.
“Rachel!”
“Where am I?” I remembered what that voice had said, somehow she would forget me and the promise I made, and I knew it was best for us if I did as she said, so I made her feel as safe as I could.
“My head! What am I doing here? Who are you?” My heart sank when she said it, I knew she wouldn’t know me, but it still hurt for her to say, I knew I loved her, even at that age.
“My name is Taylor.” She seemed happier when I told her who I was, that gave me hope. “I don’t know where we are, but I promise you’re going to be OK, do you trust me?”
I looked at her, she was young, properly only a year younger than me, but pain was reflected all through her face, it made me sad. I wanted to reach out and comfort her, but she didn’t know me…. What happened to her?
“Yes, I trust you.”
I hugged her, I expected her to push me away but she didn’t. “Why do I trust you?” She asked. I didn’t know what to say. Was I strong enough to tell her I would always have her back, even though I knew somehow we came from 2 totally different worlds? Yes. Yes I could. “Because I will protect you, with my life.”
“I haven’t trusted anyone in a long time…” it hurt me to hear her say that, I didn’t want to ask why, I just knew she was in pain, and I wanted to let her know she could trust me.
“I won’t hurt you, I promise. I can’t promise that I will always be there, but if you need me, just think about me, and I will be there with you, always. If you want me to be?” I offered my hand, and she took it in hers and held it to her heart.
“I do Taylor, I will think of you when things are bad, promise.”
We started to bond, she had the most amazing laugh…. Then that voice rang in my head again And so you two are bound, when she needs you most, you will know, for now you will be nothing but a imaginary friend to her. I wanted to scream ‘NO! Let me be with her, let her remember me!’ But she was already fading, a single tear in her eye, “No, I don’t want to go back there!”
“You have to, we will meet again I promise you as your Guardian Angel.”
“I will wait for you!” And I was left alone.
Then my head felt weird again, and I knew I was returning to my world.
When I woke up I was in my room, my dad must have carried me, I don’t know how long I was out for, it didn’t seem long, but I remembered everything.
“I need to be strong, for her.”
Soon it was my 13th birthday, my dad told me it was the day I was becoming a man, the truth was becoming a man was a process, and I had started that process 4 years ago, when I was 9, when I met her.
By the time I was 15 I was the son my father had always wanted, we were close, closer than most fathers and their sons, but that was expected, we were all each other had. My dad had trained me and I felt ready.
I treated my body as a temple, I knew the time was coming, I could feel it, now aged 18, I could feel her, feel the women I needed was close, but which one was it?
I just didn’t know, whether Demi or Rachel came first it didn’t matter, I would be ready, ready to protect them, I knew my sister needed help, I had ‘some of her power’ after all.
It had taken a long time, but I was ready, I felt like a Guardian Angel. Then the call came.
“Hello? Jessica? Yes I know Demi Matthews…” That was the call that changed my life. That was when Jessica let me know what she suspected Demi was, an enchantress, someone who has special powers, and she told me what she thought happened to me, me and Demi made a bond, and I was the only one who could save her.
I don’t regret that meeting, I had wanted to see Demi for so long. She looked a lot better than she did back then, she had a family and hopes and I couldn’t help but feel happy for her. But then she told me about her powers and the fears she had. I knew I would do whatever it took to let her have the life she deserved.
So I did what I had to. I gave up my life, my real life for her. I came here, to you. I’m not real Rachel, this isn’t really me! This is my spirit, my body is back with my sister…. And when my body dies in my world, I will trapped here with you forever, but part of me is dying here to, everything good about me, and I don’t want you to be here when that happens… I love you Rachel…
Rachel’s POV
It was hard to take in, but I knew he was telling the truth, I knew I had trusted him for a long time, and I still do. I don’t even care if he was from another world, he was real to me and I loved and trusted him.
“You’ve kept your promise, my Guardian Angel.”
“No, no I haven’t. I put you in danger, you’re in danger right now.”
“I love you Taylor, I think I have done since the day we first met, whether I remember it or not, you will always have a special place in my heart, I know you, you’re the best person I’ve ever known… and I want to be with you, forever.”
“I can’t take that risk, I can’t hurt you again.”
“You won’t.”
We shared our first real kiss, not positive the ones at the beach, not a quick kiss on the cheek, we really connected, I felt guilty, I loved Oliver, but that kiss made me realise Taylor and I were connected, I don’t know how, but I knew I was meant to be with him.
As he broke away I looked deep into his eyes, they were shinning!
“I told you it was fine.”
“No!” He looked down. “I can’t do this anymore!”
He walked away, how could I show him I wasn’t afraid of him?
“Taylor please listen to me…”
“I love you, I really do, soul deep. You have spent your whole life preparing yourself so you could look after me, you mean the world to me, I want to spend my life with you… there is no one else that I wan-‘But I was interrupted…
“Didn’t you hear me? WE CAN’T BE TOGETHER!”
It scared me that he was switching back and forth to this side of him so quickly… his eyes scared me, but I know he’s in there, and he can beat it, somehow.
“I don’t believe that.”
“See? Rach, we can’t be together!”
“You need to believe it. I can’t control myself anymore! And I won’t hurt you Rach…. I can’t go back, and I can’t stay here, there is only one option.”
“You’re wrong, you can control it, look at you now, you took control… I can help you.”
I brushed my finger over his hand, “You can feel my emotions, you know how I feel, I don’t think I can live without you.”
“I’m sorry I ruined your life, I promise I won’t do it anymore, I wish you never met me, goodbye Rachel.”
“Taylor, please!”
I don’t know if it was possible, but he jumped over the stream, he was gone before I had the time to think. But I knew I had to help him, I wouldn’t let him die, whether it meant he was in this world or his own wasn’t important to me, this time I would be the one saving him.
But where do you go to understand things from another world? My best guess was the library, so I called dad, letting him know I was going to ‘study’ all night long, grabbed a book and began to read. I decided the best thing to do was to try to research enchantresses, he seemed linked to his sister after all.
There was nothing really on importance in the books, just telling me what I knew, that they had hypnotic effects on men, and that
Nothing! I felt terrible, how could I let Taylor down? I wasn’t going to give up, there had to be SOMETHING in this library!
I finally found a book with a bit more information on enchantresses. They make a bond with someone close to them when young, that person then feels the need to protect them, that must be what happened with Taylor and his sister, he seems so close to her, he even hears her talking to him in the other world sometimes, but there was nothing on what I needed to know!
I didn’t want to fall asleep but I had been up for hours and hardly any sleep, I promised myself a few minutes, naturally it lasted hours. But it didn’t matter, because I heard a voice, and somehow I knew it wasn’t the 1st time I’d heard it, Go to her, the truth will set him free, he needs to know he’s needed. “How do I do that?” I screamed at the darkness! Then I saw a small light.
I woke up in an unfamiliar room again, but something in the room defiantly caught my attention. “Taylor!”
He really was here, he was telling the truth! He didn’t respond to me, or my thoughts, I knew he was still in my world, but he looked awful, pale and hot, and so weak. I never thought I would see him look that weak. I gently felt his cheeks and kissed his forehead, “I’m going to bring you back, even if that means saying goodbye.”
I walked around the house, no one else was there, then I heard a small child laugh, and I saw who must have been Demi. Somehow what that voice suddenly made sense to me, Taylor would only come back for her, if she needed him, and he needs to know why she left him as a child. Then she spoke to the small child.
“You are going to be one spoilt child when your father moves in….after the wedding, I just wish Taylor would be there to see it…”
“He can be.” I didn’t know why I said it, but I knew I needed to say what I needed to and then go quickly... I knew if I did, I was saying goodbye to Taylor, but I loved him too much to let him die.
Her back was still turned but I continued, “Demi. You know what you need to tell him….. Tell him what he wants to hear…. What he has wanted to hear since the day you left…. Only you can save him…. Tell him why!” And then lightness overcame me and I was gone.
I woke up with strong arms trying to wake me up, how long was I out for? I looked up and saw him. “Oliver? What are you doing here?
He sat down besides me. “I don’t know, I just felt that you needed me, you are going to do something incredibly hard, and your dad told me where you were.” That was so sweet of him, but it was awkward at the same time, how can I tell him I am about to tell the guy I thought I loved more than him away to save his life, even if it breaks me? “Can you save him?”
I got up, tears streaming down my face, he held on to my hand so I had to answer him. “Yeah, I can save him. Save him by saying goodbye…” I wanted to fall into his arms and cry, but it seemed wrong. He turned me around so I looked into his gentle brown eyes. “I’m coming with you, you’re not doing this alone, and I want to be here for you, no matter what happens.”
I knew he would be here, it’s the place where I dreamed about him, the place where we first kissed, a lot happened on this beach, some good, and some bad. All I knew was this place would soon be nothing but a haunted, painful memory, of what I wished could have been.
“You need to stop finding me… it only makes the separation harder.”
He looked peaceful, not full of regret or pain, he looked right at me, that look always melted my heart, I didn’t want to see him go! But I remembered how bad he looked back in his world, and found the courage to let him go. “I came to save you.”
“You know about her don’t you?” He paused. “You know Demi called to me, she wants me back.”
“I was there, I saw you, saw her. She needs you Taylor, she blames herself, and she loves you.”
I pulled him closer for this was just for his ears only. “I love you, and this is the hardest thing I will ever have to do, but you need to go back, Taylor you protected me, you made me become a better person, and I can’t thank you enough for that, I’m never going to love someone as much as I love you, which is why I can’t let you die, please go back.” Tears filled my eyes, and I’m sure they filled his own.
“She needs me, doesn’t she?”
I nodded, “She loves you very much, I know leaving you was hard on her, it is for me.”
“I’m not sure if I can leave you…”
He held me close, “You’re crying. Don’t. I never wanted you to be sad, you have people here who love you.” He looked over at Oliver and nodded. “We will always have the memories right? And I will never love anyone as much as I love you.”
“You need to go.”
“I know.”
“Promise me you won’t cry over me. I’m not worth it, I don’t deserve it, promise me you won’t cry, I hate it when you cry.”
“I can’t keep that promise, I’m the one who doesn’t deserve you…”
I hadn’t seen him act so normal in a long time, his friendly smile was back and his eyes were shining.
“Promise me you won’t cry for me, promise you won’t forget to live your life, and promise me you won’t forget me.”
“I could never forget you, I promise to remember you, I will think of you every day.”
That was the best moment of my life, amongst all of the pain, I had never put so much love into anything in my life, it felt like part of my soul was being torn from me, and going with him. He gently pulled away, so he could speak.
“It’s time. You will always hold a part of me, in here.” He put his hand over my chest where my heart was. “I love you Rachel Morgan. Goodbye.”
The tears kept flowing, and even though I wanted this, knew it was for the best, I still tried to stop it, “Please don’t go.”
“I have to.”
“Goodbye, my Guardian Angel.”
We stayed close, locked into each other’s arms, then he started to fade, I looked at him and smiled through my tears… “You have a wedding to get to, by the way. Your niece is adorable.”
“I’m not really a romantic, hope I don’t ruin it!”
“You won’t, you’re a gentlemen.” And I collapsed into his arms for one last time. “Think of me.”
“Always.” He looked over at Oliver and looked back at me. “Hey Oliver, I know you’re going to take good care of her, she needs you, make sure you love her as much as she deserves. Thanks for everything.”
“I know, and I will. Thanks for looking after her, for watching over her, I will love her every day, she’s going to be OK. Your all right Taylor, I wish you well back in your life.”
He nodded and for one last time smiled at me, and he was gone.
I didn’t move for what have been minutes. “He’s gone.” I wanted to fall to the floor… but he was there for me. “I know, but he’s safe now.”
“I’m sorry you had to see that, I do love you Olly…. It’s just…”
“Don’t say it, you know I love you, and I always will, I understand the bond you 2 have, and I promise I will look after you as long as you want me to.”
I’m back! I woke up, and I knew I was going to miss it if I didn’t hurry, I saved both of them! I always thought I would let one of them down, but Rachel was safe, I knew that. Oliver would look after her, though I would be reminded of her, always, I knew she was safe, and that’s all that mattered. “Goodbye Rachel.” I spoke aloud, then she saw me.
“Taylor!”
“Sorry I’m late, did I miss the cake?”
