call on Anael for help. Nathaniel had only seen him once in
six months and Ramiel hadn’t been to visit since the day they’d
arrived home from the hospital. With no angels to talk to,
Nathaniel missed Devlin more than he ever thought possible, though
he never considered leaving Eloise so he could visit other
guardians. That would be irresponsible and way too
risky.
    Running his hands through
his hair, he paced the room. Six months of loneliness was starting
to get to him. He strode over to the window and stared out at the
stars, but even that didn’t lift his mood. All it did was remind
him of the good times he’d had with Devlin—like the nights they
went night flying around the world. They’d take off at full speed,
only slowing down when they saw meteors or shooting stars. Now he
had a huge hole in his existence and there was nothing to fill it
except a child who couldn’t even see or hear him. Though Devlin was
now his nemesis, it didn’t stop the sorrow of missing what they’d
had. Even gazing at the full moon and listening to the waves
crashing against the shore didn’t relax him anymore. It only
frustrated him that he was stranded like a prisoner and couldn’t
even go diving with the dolphins and whales. Gazing up at the
Heavens, he wondered if it was possible for an angel to go mad.
He’d certainly never felt powerless before. As anger filled his
soul, he tightened his hands into fists and shook them at the
sky.
    “ Lord, what’s
happened to my tolerance?”
    Without waiting for an
answer, he threw his head back and laughed. All he needed now was
for Madeline to play Bruno Mars singing ‘ Talking to the
Moon’ like she usually did before going to sleep—then he’d
really go crazy. As he waited for her door to close, the perfect
voice of Bruno Mars floated like a dream from her bedroom stereo.
The song stirred Nathaniel’s soul so deeply , he knew if he
was human, he’d cry an ocean of tears for the loss of his best
friend.
    When Madeline hit replay,
Nathaniel held his head and cursed as he laughed hysterically, then
he shouted up at the clear night sky. “Devlin, why in Heaven did
you have to go and ruin a friendship as perfect as ours? Why,
Devlin?”
    As he was about to turn
away from the window, a shooting star shot above the full moon,
reminding him of the night he’d raced Devlin to New Zealand and
back. Smiling, he recalled how they’d arranged to meet on top of
the cliff at the Creed Valley Lookout. Standing side-by-side with
their arms stretched out, they counted to three before zooming into
the clear night sky like a couple of action heroes. As they raced
each other across the Tasman Sea towards New Zealand, they’d hit
and an electrical storm, losing sight of each other as they
zigzagged around dark ominous clouds. When they met up again,
Devlin had surprised him by grabbing his arm and urging him to
follow. Surging upwards, they’d skyrocketed under the twinkling
stars before swooping downwards and nose-diving into the deep dark
sea. After swimming with a pod of dolphins, they’d shot back out of
the water and jetted towards Mount Edward, landing on the peak
within seconds of each other. As they’d laughed uncontrollably,
Devlin had taken off again, yodelling like Tarzan and obviously
determined to win the race.
    Nathaniel chuckled. He’d
been equally competitive that night. After catching a strong wind,
he’d jetted after Devlin. Then with everything he could muster,
he’d zipped past him, reaching the Creed Valley lookout only
seconds before him and winning the race. But as always, Devlin was
a sore loser. Growling like a bear, he’d lifted Nathaniel up and
flipped him off the edge of the cliff. But instead of falling into
the sea or flying back to the lookout, Nathaniel summersaulted in
mid-air and landed right next to him. As he’d wrestled Devlin to
the ground, they’d fallen in a heap and laughed uproariously before
heading back to their wards.
