Chapter Fourteen: Angels POV: The Rush

Song recommended: Count Me In By THEY., feat Kiana Lede

Our steps were quick in the busy streets. She didn't turn back just to see where I was or if I was catching up like him. No, she moved forward and didn't dare glance back. It seemed as though this had become her life. A life that consisted of moving forward and not questioning anything about it.

"We are going to use the subway today and then next week a taxi then after that an uber. I'm trying to teach you what it means to keep up and as you can see, it's rush hour. People will bump into you, so keep your belongings close and safe but don't make it seem as though there's something expensive in there. Otherwise, you will catch the attention of a thief, and trust me you won't feel it until it's gone." She said loudly and then suddenly turned to the left and I had to quickly catch up otherwise I would get lost.

Usually, he had used Uber to get us from one place to another but it seemed as though she wanted to show me the different forms of traveling besides the main one.

"The subways have different schedules, so you need to know which one you need to take and know the times. There will be times where it's late or for some reason doesn't show up. That's where the need for taxis and ubers come in. Don't use an Uber if you don't need to. It's a waste of money that you don't have, currently.

You got bills to pay and you still need to go out and stuff. Use it then but at other times don't. Just cause he did doesn't mean you should, he has the money for that, you don't." she said and right at that moment, I heard it.

The loud screeching of something coming closer, I felt like screaming because of it. I had never heard such a sound in my life. It bothered me and just when I was about to scream, I couldn't hear it any longer. I opened my eyes and noticed that she was covering my ears.

And right before us was the silver train. As soon as the doors opened, I noticed people come in and others go out. She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the train as soon as we were in, she pulled me down onto a seat as the train got full. And once it did, the train moved without the screeching sound again.

"Subways are usually loud, as well as planes unless you have already boarded them. It's just how they are and for the fact that you are not used to that, it's okay. I'm pretty sure you have noticed J wearing something by his ears right?" she asked and I nodded, knowing I had seen something in his ears.

"Those are called earphones, it's a device that plays music or allows you to listen to something from your phone. It can play at whatever volume you want except that not all devices are the same. So my loud could be your soft, it happens.

But they come in handy as they muffle the outside noise and they can help you get into your own world. Keep you going at a certain pace and stuff, just make sure it's off when you get into work and stuff.

Otherwise, you will miss a lot of things and get into trouble." She said as she pulled out a small black box. Opening it, I noticed a pair of black earphones. "Don't get them wet, otherwise finding another pair like this, is going to be a pain." She advised and helped me put them in.

They settled in comfortably and a part of me felt extremely happy for the fact that not everything was as loud as before. I felt her pull out my phone and show me how to pair the two devices.

Going into the apple music, she played one song, and when it filled my ears. I felt a shiver run through me with a new source of feeling. The beat and all just filled me and I felt like dancing.

I looked at her with a big smile and she gave me a small one. As if knowing how it all felt, in fact, I was sure she was remembering how it all felt and I was grateful that she was helping me pin it all together. I rested my head on her shoulder as a sign to say thank you but when I felt her tense, I instantly pulled back.

Knowing what that she was uncomfortable with it.

'You are welcome'

I heard in my head and turned to her with wide eyes. I knew that she was a different being but I didn't realize she still had her own gifts. Would I still be able to see people's auras in a decade's time?

'Let's move,'

When I felt the train slowly come to a stop, I stood with her and we walked out. We came closer as there were too many people trying to get on and get off. I finally understood why they called it a rush.

She turned, guiding me towards another pathway that didn't have many people walking there and soon we reach a large building. The very brand I wore, was plastered in such alluring writing and color at the top.

Tapping on the side of the earphones, the music stopped and she said, "Welcome to work. Here, someone else will be teaching you how to type and stuff. Pretty soon you will be able to do much stuff that humans can do. For the fact that you are a fallen, you have the advantage of catching up fast.

I'll come to you around one pm and we can go get lunch. Alright?"

I nodded, unsure how to feel about being alone again and not having them around me. "You will be fine, again, you are an orphan not a daughter of some angel. That shit will get you killed or looked at like a freak. You don't want to be that here. Trust me, mental hospitals are the livings hell." She said and walked away, leaving me waiting for someone else.
