I had learned quickly that Angels was a talker, she was a sweet girl, don’t get me wrong. But she’s one of those talkers that once she starts talking, she will not shut up. I learned more about her, apparently she was neglected by her father and trapped inside her own house for years since her father hated her for having black eyes and not being a normal child. Now that's some pretty tense shit, nowadays she only talks with her mother who had died giving birth to her. As for her father, well she doesn’t ever want to hear from him, ever!
“Hey lily?” angels asked nervously,
“Yea, what’s up angels?” this was new, she seemed so confident earlier.
“Well, I feel bad for not asking about you?” I felt like she deserved the truth, after all she saved my life three hours ago, I sighed, “alright..” I started with my childhood, “Well i was a little girl afraid of the big, wide world, I didn’t have any brothers or sisters growing up, at the age of ten I was able to properly load and shot a pistol, maintain and use any type of blade, cook, and keep to the shadows like a ninja.” I paused, angels seemed to cling to every word like the world would end if she missed even a single word, I continued “I was thirteen, broken legs but I still chased perfection. Whenever anyone would ask, I would say: ‘These walls are my blank expression and my mind is a home’ I never had any friends, except ally and my mom, though they're both dead now, ally was killed by the forest and my mom died of cancer.” Angels seemed to understand, then gave me a reassuring and rather joyful smile, I was confused till she told me,
“Your mom told me to tell you, ‘Don’t worry princess, mommy’s proud of you. I love you so much, butterbean.’ She's listening Lily and she’s glad to see you’re safe.” I smiled softly, before playfully punching Angels softly,
“Come on, enough of this sad crap, let's be happy” we laughed till we were crying. You know what I feel like this is the beginning of a great friendship.
