He fell asleep as soon as Bryan left. He was dead tired. Angel looked at him. She loved him so much. Nicky stirred in his sleep and a single tear went down his cheek. Angel wiped it away. Nicky’s eyes flew open. ‘Angel….’ She put a finger on his lips. ‘Don’t say a word. I’ll leave you after tonight.’ Nicky shook his head. ‘I don’t want you to go.’ He lifted his sheets and Angel slid under. Nicky pulled her close. ‘I don’t want you to go ever.’ Angel looked at him. ‘Will you sing for me?’ ‘How do you?’ ‘Anna has magazines and I can read.’ Nicky took a deep breath and started singing: ‘So, impossible as it may seem. You've got to fight for every dream. Cos who's to know which one you let go. Would have made you complete.' Angel started sobbing. ‘Hey, what is wrong?’ Nicky lifted her chin and looked in Angel’s teary eyes. ‘I love you.’ She whispered. ‘I love you too.’ Answered Nicky. He kissed her. ‘Can we have children?’ Angel started laughing. ‘No we can’t.’ ‘It would be cool though. I mean our kids could be half-human half ghosts.’ Nicky said with a very serious look on his face. Angel kissed his earlobe. ‘We can practise.’ Nicky didn’t say a word but just pulled the blankets over his face. ‘What?’ ‘I’m not suppose to be active.’ ‘I saw you with Nicky. That was pretty active.’ ‘Not in that way.’ ‘What way?’ Angel asked with an innocent look on her face. Nicky sniggered and kissed her. ‘Just shut up and kiss me.’

Nicky was recuperating better than aspected. His doctor told him that he could go home in two days. Nicky didn’t want to go but he would be kicked out. Nicky told Angel all about the band he was in and the countries he had seen. His mates all came round just before they had to go on a small tour without Nicky. Bryan came in the room first. ‘Hey Nick, you have got visitors.’ The rest of the band walked in. Shane sat down next to him on the bed. The rest sat on the chairs. Angel stood in a corner watching the whole group. Nicky kept glancing her way and when he did she made a funny face. Nicky smiled. ‘Are you happy that you can go home?’ Asked Kian. ‘I don’t know. I like it here.’ ‘I told you so. Nicky is happy in a hospital.’
Bryan said with a smart look on his face. Kian slapped him over the head. Angel nearly fell on the floor. Shane looked her way. She swiftly moved to another corner but his eyes didn’t leave his face. The guys stayed only a little while. Everyone got up. ‘I’ll be right there.’ Said Shane. He turned in Angel’s direction. ‘Do you mind telling me what you are doing in my friend's room?’ Nicky grabbed his sleeve. ‘You can see her?’ ‘I have always been able to see things that weren’t there.’ Angel moved to the bed and cuddled up to Nicky. ‘This is Angel. I love her.’

Shane’s expression changed to anger. ‘She is a ghost.’ Said Shane through clinched teeth. ‘I know. Can’t I love her?’ ‘You are sick, Nicky, sick.’ Shane got and walked out of the room. Nicky wanted to say something to Angel but she was gone. ‘I hate it when you do that.

Angel ran after Shane. She grabbed his coat and swung him around. ‘Listen to me. He makes me happy.’ Shane looked at her. ‘You’ll take away the reason where for he lives.’ ‘Meaning?’ ‘When he realises he can’t show you off, he would like to be dead. So that he can be with you forever.’ ‘But if I make him promise.’ Shane’s eyes turned teary. ‘Just don’t make me loose my friend okay.’ ‘I promise.’ She hugged Shane. He walked away. ‘I’ll try and keep him with you for as long as I can, Shane.’ He couldn’t hear her anymore.

Angel sat on the bed watching Nicky packing his bags. ‘Do you have to leave?’ ‘Yep, the doc is kicking me out.’ Angel touched his hand. ‘I want you to have this.’ Nicky opened his hand and saw the necklace Angel had been wearing. ‘I got it from my parents last night.’ Nicky put the necklace on. ‘How do I look?’ ‘You look great.’ Angel started crying. ‘He, this isn’t the end.’ ‘It will take me a lot of energy to go to Florida with you Nicky. I can’t be with you for the first couple of weeks.’ Nicky sighed. He knew about that. ‘Just promise me that you won’t give up hope. The other guys need you.’ Nicky nodded. ‘I know. But I also want to be with you.’ ‘When it is your time, Nicky.’ Angel started to vaporise. ‘I have to go. I love you.’ ‘I love you too.’ Nicky said to air. Anna knocked on the door. ‘Are you ready? Did you say goodbye?’ ‘Yes we did.’ Nicky wiped away a tear. ‘I can’t wait to see her again.’ Anna took his bag and pointed at the wheelchair. ‘Your limo has arrived sir.’ Nicky smiled and sat in the chair. ‘To Florida.’ Nicky took one last glance around the room and whispered: ‘Good bye Angel of mine.’
