My Guardian Angel – Part 3

 

 

Welcome to part 3 of My Guardian Angel! Thanks for all the recommendations I have been getting, and if you haven’t read a previous chapter, I suggest you do so, so it all makes sense… anyway let’s pick off from where we left off…
“That was beautiful, you really are talented Rachel…”

“Darren? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at football training or something?”
“Yeah but, I needed to talk to you…” Great, what did he want to talk about? It’s not like I was confused about one guy at the moment as it is or anything…
“Actually it was about the project that Miss Clark assigned us.” Oh? Was that all? I was expecting yet more drama in my life…

“But I changed my mind since hearing that beautiful song! I was going to suggest we do our project on a new film or something, but why don’t we do it on music?”

“What? Darren are you mad? I’m not that good, and besides you heard Diana the other day… no one like musicians...”

“I do.” Then he pulled me into a hug and said “I need to go, dad will kill me if he finds out I missed football practise! Goodnight Rachel!”
Did that just happen? Did Darren Harris actually compliment me? My life is officially messed up…

I stood there waving at him like a complete dork until I could no longer see him…. Why did I do that?
“I can-NOT believe what I just saw!”

Great, Jasmine was going to pick now to start a fight? Well bring it on, or so I thought…

“Why does everyone suddenly like you?! I just don’t get it! You know I have a MAJOR crush on him don’t you? How could you do that to me?”

“What are you talking about? Darren came to see me not the other way round! Besides we were only talking about our project, I don’t even like Darren that way…”
“You used to.”

“Yeah and I told my sister that, not what you have become now. I’m sorry for the things I said yesterday, I really am. I don’t want to lose you either but I’m not going to pretend to like who you act like at school anymore.”

“You know? Your right. I’m tired of acting like that to. Oh and by the way, I see the way Taylor looks at you, you should go for him. Oh and I’m sorry about today.” Things were finally looking OK in my life. “That means a lot Jasmine, thank you, oh and go get changed, you look terrible!” “I’m on it!”

“So how did it go? Will she do it? Did you ask her?”
“Mum, why are you making me do this to Rach? Just ask her yourself!”
“You know that the Jones family want her and their son to date… and if we don’t form a alliance with them we lose the house Jasmine… DO YOU WANT THAT?”

“How did you let us get in this state mum? Why should Rachel have to suffer for something YOU caused? Forget it, I’m not helping you get her to date this Jones boy, you hear?”

    

“How could you do this to your family Jasmine? To me? Your mother, you should be ashamed of yourself!”

That night I had no trouble sleeping…. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep…. Then I opened my eyes… and the events that were about to take place would change my life forever…

When I opened my eyes I was in a large old looking house…. It didn’t look like any house I had seen in the neighbourhood…. It looked to expensive and grand…

I remember wondering why it was so dark, when I heard a child cry… my legs seemed to have a mind of their own and led me up the stairs into a children’s nursery…

I walked in to the room and stopped. A young girl, properly no older than me was leaning into a crib talking to someone.
“It’s OK, I’m here sweetheart…” Who was she? Why did I feel like I recognised her from somewhere?

I looked over the girl’s shoulder… she didn’t notice me…. No one seemed to. My whole body jerked when I looked at the young boy in the crib… and then the girl’s words sent a jolt right through my body…
“Remember Taylor, I will always love you. I’m sorry for what I'm about to do, always remember me…”
“Dem?” Could this really be the same Taylor? How is this possible? And why was I seeing this? Who is this girl, and why did she say something incredibly similar to what my father said when he left me…

The girl put the young child down and walked away…. He instantly started to cry…. And I’m sure as she walked past me, I saw a tear roll down her cheek as well… then I remembered where I had seen her before… the other day, when I dreamt I kissed Taylor, the images where a young child reached out, he was reaching out to her…. But why?

“DEM! DEM?” It hurt my heart to see him like this… why was that girl not coming back? Had she walked out on him like my father had on me? Is that why I felt so familiar with him?

I couldn’t bear to look at his sad little face. But for some reason I couldn’t move… “Oh Taylor!” I cried out in a little whimper… why did I do that?

Unexpectedly as I called his name, he turned his face and looked in to my eyes… he stopped crying… but why? Why could only he see me?

Then I felt a shadow over me…. Someone else had entered the room… but was it that young girl…

It wasn’t her… but an older woman stepped through me, literally through me and picked up the young child… “It’s Ok..” “We don’t need her baby.” Was this….Taylor’s mother? He looks nothing like her… and who was she talking about, did that young girl really walk out of Taylor’s life? He seemed so attached to her…

I saw how happy she made him look, it reminded me of how I used to feel around my mother, it made me sad… what made it worse was the fact I know something had to happen in his life…. Something made him change…. Something connected us… but what?

Then a sudden screeching sound like a alarm blared through the house and I had to hold on to my ears… I couldn’t recognise where I heard it, but the women and little Taylor started to fade…. And then I woke up…

School next day… that was when I decided I would finally confront Taylor…. Either I would get all the answers I needed or I would look like a complete idiot in front of him… but I had to know… there was a feeling deep down in my gut… I was involved in his past life and I needed to know how…

The only good news that day was that Oliver was back in class… for some reason he seemed really distant around me, but I just took it as jetlag from his holiday… he was a shy boy after all…

“Hey, Rach! Why don’t you come over here and talk with me?”
Since when did he call me that? Of all the times for him to notice me he had to pick now! I wonder if he thought I was attracted to Taylor. The question was, was I?

I also noticed that Kris and Megan were getting along well… I really hoped he noticed her, she really was a nice girl and they would be cute together…

 

There he was, just sitting there, I didn’t think he noticed me when he said “You can sit you know, you don’t have to stand there.” Was he psychic or something?

I didn’t want to jump straight in there and say ‘Hey, were you abandoned as a toddler by a girl and am I linked to you somehow, also did we kiss’ yeah right, not a good idea… but as I said that it my head, I couldn’t help but notice he smiled again.. he couldn’t read my thoughts could he?

 

"So how you liking town?" How stupid did I sound?
"It's nice, I've met some good people." Did he mean me? Why is everything about me all of a sudden?

“So listen, you still haven’t told me your answer yet? Do you want to show me around town? I have NO idea where anything is…”
“Yeah… that would be fun, listen Taylor…. Can I ask you something? It might sound a bit weird… but, will you just listen as I ask you this? Do I know you from somewhere?”

Then he completely erupted before me… I knew I had imagined the whole thing ‘Guardian Angel’ man what a stupid idea… then he continued to talk…
“Man, I can’t believe that women actually asked those therapists to erase it from memory. You still don’t remember anything do you? You promised me no matter what you would remember what I told you and I’ve kept my promise, I guess I can’t blame you… you’ve been through a lot.”

He got up and started to walk away but I got up and stood in his way, there was no way I wasn’t going to hear the rest of this now…
“You owe me an explanation Taylor!”
“Not here, not now. Move Rachel!” I’d never heard anyone so angry before…. Luckily everyone else was in the lunch hall, but I stood my ground with him, I did know what he had been through… kind of and I knew how it felt… I couldn’t help but let a tear roll down my cheek as I remembered my mother, my aunt and the father I had driven away…

“Come on Rach… don’t cry… I’m sorry…” Did he call me Rach? Only people who were close to me called me Rach… did I tell him he could? It didn’t matter I finally felt close to him in that moment in time...  “I want to tell you Rachel… I really do… I don’t want to hurt you… if I bring it all back… it might destroy you…”

I looked right in to his comforting eyes and said “I’m prepared to take that risk Taylor, when I’m with you I feel safe, good, after everything I have been through you make me feel, good. I don’t know what it is but something is connecting us and you know what it is… and I need to know.” I didn’t expect him to respond, I expected him to walk away like everyone else in my life had done.

But he didn’t. “You sure?” he asked as he held on to my hand. I thought I would melt with his touch… “Yes.” I whispered, it was so quite if he hadn’t been standing right in front of me, he wouldn’t have heard it, my mouth had gone dry… “Then follow me.”

He took me to the play-park I went to as a child, it was just around the corner from the school, as I came round the corner I remembered all the afternoon’s I had played here with nothing more but a ‘feeling’ someone was with me…. And now he was here, holding me, pulling me close… “Are you sure you’re ready for this?” He whispered in my ear…

I looked in to his big blue eyes and felt like I could trust him, he wouldn’t run off and abandon me, all this time, deep down I had been looking for someone like me, someone who understands what it feels like to lose everyone dear to them and I had found him. “Yes.” I said a louder and more confident then I felt inside…

“You have no idea how long I have waited for you to say that….. I care about you so deeply Rachel Morgan, I promised you as your Guardian Angel I would come back for you… and I have…”
He knew I had called him My Guardian Angel…. What else had I told him? That’s when Oliver’s upset “No!” ruined the perfect moment…

Oliver’s POV
I didn’t know why, but I had the feeling Rachel needed me, like something was going to happen that would change her forever and I had to stop it! I had lost everything that was important to me and I wasn’t going to lose her to. I overheard that Taylor boy talking to her about Rachel’s childhood, he even called himself her ‘Guardian Angel’ how sick is that? Praying on poor vulnerable girls, I wasn’t going to let him do it to her… she had been through so much already and I wasn’t letting her ‘imaginary friend’ ruin it now… I loved her to much and I didn’t care if it made her hate me…

“Back away from her creep!”
“What is your problem man?”
I was completely mesmerised in the moment, that I didn’t realise that Oliver and Taylor were fighting, but over what? And how did Oliver find me out here? When will my life return to normality?

Well this is where I leave you once again! Next chapter may be from the POV of Taylor  I hope you enjoyed it and if you did please recommend, it means the world to me, it would also mean the world to me If you leave me a message in my forum right here on the site http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/193631.page or if you’re on LJ you can leave me a message here  http://playerrac2.livejournal.com/ Either way it would mean the world to me if you let me know what you think of the challenge, there are many possible endings in my mind right now and it would be nice to get some feedback from you so it helps me decide which one to go for… Anyway until next time happy simming!
