The two went home in stifling silence until finally Jonny lost it. "Why!?"

"Uh-what??????"

"Not you!" He said looking at her beseechingly.He slumped into a near park bench, head in his hands. Angel sat down beside him, arm around his hsoulders. HE so much bigger than I first thought, she thought hugging him to her side. "Hey Jonny boy. It's okay. JOnny boy?" He sat up suddenly, gripping her shoulders, kissing her hard on the mouth. This wasn't a gentle kiss. It communicated anger, depression,misery and helplessness. Angel sat still, letting him pour all his emotions out until he broke away first. tears filling his eyes. He still clung to her like a child. Chest heaving, gasping for air. "Why Angel?"

"Why? I was pronounced dead when I was very little. The doctors said I would die young and because of that I'd allways tried to live life to the full. But my familly were against it. They've  babied me my whole life, and that's when I met you. The pretty little white boy, throwing up outside my apartment. YOu were just like me but with one exception." She looked at him with a sad sweetness. "You have a chance at life." HE looked down then. Ashamed of his money. HIs privelage. hy should he live when an Angel like Angel had to die? It just wasn't fair! "When I heard you were just going to let that chance go I was so .......ANGRY! So I wanted to help you." She held his face in her hands and stared ta him. "Dont give up on life."

"Angel, I'm sorry. But I dont think I can go on with out you."

"You l ove me?" He nodded.

"Then live for me, Jonny. Live." She said kissing him softly on the fore head.

That night Jonny and Angel stayed up late and talked about every thing. life, spors,music,movies. Every thing. "You know I really love you Angel?"

"Yeah? And?"

"And...um...you know.."

"Out with it Jonny boy." Angel said chucking a pillow at him.

"If, you  live...and I live....uh....would you marry me?" Angel stared at him and Jonny felt himself flush under her gaze. "I...uh."

"Ae you serious? Jonny boy?"

"um, uh.yes. Yes of course." Angel only smiled, hugging him. "Of course, Jonny. If we both live, and orlando bloom dosn't come and swoop me off my feet of course-"

"Pfft. Of course."

"Then yeah. I'll marry you."

"Promise?"

"Promise, Jonny boy. Now go get some sleep. It's a big day tomorow."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, operation day."

"Oh.......yeah......."
