Emerald eyes with a sprinkle of brown.
I couldn't stop thinking of Alice every single minute of every single day.
She was such a beautiful person;
Inside and out.
I felt my lips turn into a smile, something that had been happening quite frequently.
I couldn't help but to feel grateful for getting someone as wonderful as her in my life.
"Is everything alright Leo?" I heard her voice say.
"Everything's great Alice," I replied, my smile widening.
"Alice? Who's Alice?"
My eyes snapped open at that question.
I looked around my room to find my family surrounding me.
"So you can speak," my brother said with a blank expression.
I swallowed.
I hadn't intended on speaking to my family again.
Not after how they treated me after they learned of my diagnosis.
"What are you doing here?" I forced myself to ask.
"We're visiting you. What do you mean what are we doing here?" my mother said, placing her hand on my head.
I flinched and moved away.
I didn't miss the flash of disappointment which glazed over her eyes.
But like the good actor she was, she quickly blinked it away.
I looked at the clock.
3:00
Where was Alice?
Had they pushed her away?
That thought was enough to irritate me.
"I want you to leave."
I hadn't thought about whether they really did that or not; but there was no need to.
It would be more surprising if they hadn't asked her to leave.
"Son we're not leaving yet. Didn't you hear your mothe-"
"Just leave the same way you made Alice leave."
Before I could stop myself, I blurted out my thoughts, interrupting my father.
They all looked at me with a mixture of confusion and amusement.
Almost as if I was being delusional.
"Who's this Alice you keep talking about?"
And as I was about to say something, the angel herself appeared before me, her face apologetic.
"Alice?" I asked in surprise as my senses took in her appearance.
"I'm so sorry Leo. My class ran a little long."
I breathed in a sigh of relief.
There was nothing to worry about; Alice was here.
And she'd always be here.
For me.
