The Angel of Darkness - Chapter 21

Josh's P.O.V

"Victoria, are you umm... available, umm...." I kept wanting to cry because I'm afraid Victoria would reject my request.

"Yes?" Victoria smiled at me and embraced me more. The warmth kept me from crying. Her wings seemed to have an effect. I kept hugging her tightly because I'm tired of crying.

"Victoria," I whispered at her ear. "Are you umm... available tomorrow?"

"Yes," She said. "I'm available tomorrow, why?"

"Do you want to go to umm...." Short pause, "umm... to a mall?"

"For what, Josh?" Victoria asked.

"I just want to spend time with you since..." Whatever it is I'm going to say, my voice broke. Before I know it, I started crying again. I can't face the fact that I had lost 3 girlfriends already. It's just too painful. I don't want to risk getting dumped by another girl again.

Victoria embraced me, with her wings too. "Don't cry, Josh. It's okay now."

"NO! It's not okay!" I screamed. "I just..."

"Shh..." Victoria hugged me tighter. "You'll get a new girlfriend soon. I promise."

"You don't understand how it felt!" I sobbed. "You're not feeling what I feel!"

"Josh, I am really feeling what you're..."

"NO you're not! It's much more painful than you think! It's much...." My voice broke, and I started to sob miserably.

................................

After 15 minutes of sobbing into her wings, I stopped crying, and Victoria agreed to go with me to the mall, which is exciting since usually we're told to stay inside camp.

So we all returned to camp, and our friends greeted us.
