In The Hands Of An Angel
His name was Zannery Drew Wilik. At the age of 16, he was average height and was very althetic built.Running and playing football was is favorite thing to do, which made him very popular. With those blue eyes and that sexy smile he had, girls fall all over for him. Giving him blow kisses,letters and cards saying how much they adore him. I never really thought that he would ever notice me, I wasn’t never really into being preppy, and a little snotty thing. Why me? What did he see in me that day to make him talk to me?
Class had just ended and I was walking to my locker to get my Goverments book until I heard someone say “Umm, hey.” I turned around and seen it was Zach. I was stunned, but new not to be looking stupid in front of a young man. “Oh, hi” I said back,”did u want something?” He looked kind of disappointed, so I told him “I’m sorrie, it just I am having a bad day..its not you.” He looked up in my eyes and smiled. He finally said “OK then, I guess I will see you after class then?” I shrugged and whispered “sure” while walking off.
Class ended and Zach was waiting for me by the door. Smiling with the widest smile I have ever seen on his face. I started to feel more comfortable around him, even though we just met face to face in the hall. I seem to get comfortable around people easy, I thought to myself. “ I have been looking for you ever since I became new in this school!” he told me while trying to push the door opened. “ yea..right” I said back, while walking into the world. He just laughed it off, but I was being serious. He asked me how I got home, and I told him I walked. He offered to walk with me home. I insisted no, but he wouldn’t give in, so I finally gave in and said OK.
I walked into the house and offered Zach to come in as well. We walked into the living room and my big sister Kelly was there with her 2 year old daughter Jessie and her husband Denny. Jessie sqealed when she saw Zach, he smiled and winked back at her. Kelly looked at me and gave me a “ooo nice boyfriend” kind of look, and I gave her a “get a life” look, and out of know where she said I got one. Her husband looked at her then looked at me. He started laughing, like he new what we were talking about. I led Zach into my bedroom, and threw my books down onto my bed. I told Zach he could have a seat if he wanted to, but he insisted that he’d stand by the window. I wanted to ask him a question that has been bothering me, until he said “ I know what your thinking, but I can’t answer that question just yet, until you do something for me.” I looked at him in a funnie way. He didn’t look straight at me, he was still staring out the window when he finished. “ I want you to pray to God and ask him if I can stay here with you.” I didn’t get what he was saying, but instead I did. I prayed to God asking him if Zach can stay here with me. After I got done I then asked him “ Now can I-“…”I can only answer two questions, anymore will have to wait.” He whispered before I got the chance to finish my sentence. He left me with my mouth open, and told me to close it. So I did. “ The reason I walked up to you and insisted I walk you home was because, I was really looking for you. I knew you were being serious when you told me “yea right”, but I tried and act like you really weren’t. I tried not to get into your head. Everything you thought, and everything you said, in your head came into mine.” He said, still looking through the window. “ I heard you when you prayed to God, you have had to mean it by the heart, and you didn’t. I know I understand, so the next question you want to ask..that will have to wait also.” He explained.
That night, for some reason I couldn’t sleep. Zachary asked if he could sleep on the couch and I asked him about his parents and he told me he had already callled them and asked. So I gave him a pillow and a blanket, with some night clothes. He told me he didn’t need them, but I told him to take them anyways. It took me hours to fall asleep. My mind was in a different place, a different world. What made him so patient with me, so calm? After awhile my eyes started to droop and somehow fell asleep.
Days, Weeks, then Months went by. Me and Zach had spent a lot of time together. Talking, telling each other stories from our past. Many different things. We were all we had of each other. I mean we weren’t together, we were just close friends. But we never explained to each other on what happened the first day we met. Weird things started to happen though. When it was time to go to school in the morning Zach wouldn’t be on the couch waiting for me as usual. I would go to school and I would be looking for him. During lunch time he would show up. And if I never seen him during school, I would always see him after school in my room. So I asked him everyday what was it this time, and everyday he would tell me the same answer…I had a meeting with the boss. I was shocked at first because I never knew he had a job. I never knew what kind of job he did , but he never seem to go to work, only during the school hours of the day though. It became werid so I kind of brought it up to him. He told me it was fine, and that he could catch up fast.
Morning came and I went downstairs to see if my sister hadn’t put things in Zach’s mind. Well I went to the couch and he wasn’t there. Nothing was there..but just the couch. I called my sister to ask her if she saw Zach on the couch when she had woken up, and asked me in a weird voice if I was alright. I told her yes, just tell me if u seen Zach. She asked me who Zach was, and I explained to her. She told me I needed to go the doctor to check my head and to stay home. So I hung up the phone. I went to school thinking my sister was messing with me, and expecting him to be there. Well he wasn’t. So I went up the cheerleaders and preps and asked them if they had seen Zach. They told me I was crazy, because they didn’t know a Zach. I shook my head and walked it off. Well all day during school, I couldn’t get him off my mind. I swore to myself that everyone must be messing with my head, and is probably at home again in my room.
I ran home the whole way. I had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right about something. I busted through the front door, all the way up stairs with my sister yelling at me to slow down. I busted through the bedroom door, and there on the chair by the window was zach. I let out a relief sigh. My heart was pounding and I had a major headach. I went and sat down by him. My eyes met his and I new that something was wrong, because there wasn’t no happieness in them, just pure sadness, and anger. I asked him what was wrong and he said there was nothing wrong. He promissed there was nothing wrong, so from there I let him be. Before I got a chance to walk out, he told me to come here, and sit with him. So I shut the and door and went and sat by him, the rest of the night.
Over the days something weird was happening to me. I was starting to loose my hair, I felt more tired and less energetic to do anything. I was missing school like it wasn’t funnie. I started getting headachs more sever. My sister finally insisted that I should go to the doctor just In case there was something bad. I knew she had a bad feeling about something, but I couldn’t catch it. I had learned from zach when there was something wrong from someone, and I could tell something was in her head that worried her.
The doctors office was horibble. My sister went and talked the doctor perosnally and he started shaking his head slowly, and looked at me. Him to I could sense something was wrong, and I wasn’t starting to like it…I was starting to get scared myself. I took plenty of test, and was getting tired of them after a while. I didn’t want to move anymore..my body was getting soar, they had to put me into a wheel chair. We waited in the room for about 10 minutes up until one of the doctors came in, he looked at my sister and shook his head yes. I didn’t know what that meant, and I asked what it was, she had me wrapped in her arms, crying her eyes out. I could feel her hurtness inside and I was getting angry because no one would tell me whats wrong.
The doctor brought me into the hall, and told me to sit. But I insisted that I stand. We had to pull my sister off of me because she wouldn’t let go. She wanted to be where I was, no matter what I was doing. I asked the doctor what was wrong with me, and with that, the doctor looked down at his fingers, and tried not to look to sad, but when he looked up at me and straight unto my eyes I knew this wasn’t funnie. He finally spoke and said “ I am sorrie Carrie, but you have cancer.” I looked at him, with wide eyes and wouldn’t stop staring, then the next thing I remember was seeing darkness.
When I awoke, I had wires and plugs and all kinds of things hooked up to me. I had asked the nurse what happened and they told me when the doctor told me I had cancer I passed out. I also asked the nurse if the cancer was bad, and she gave me a sadden look. She told me to ask the doctor when he came in. It was a few hours later, and I was worried about Zach, I wanted to call him and let him know. So I finally asked the next nurse who came in if it was alright if I could use the phone. She said sure and showed me how to work the phone. I called and called and the phone rang and rang and rang, but no one answered the phone. I had started to get that same gutt feeling I had the day I couldn’t find him. I felt hurtness, sad, and then angry all of a sudden. It was about Mid-night, and I finally gave up calling him. I will try in the morning I told my self, maybe hes really busy or his phone is on vibrate.
Days and weeks went by and they gave me more test, and more medication. The doctors were trying everything they could, but they told me it was the cancer was spreading faster every day. I finally got the courage to ask him how long I had to live. He look straight unto my eyes and smiled. He saw something I did, and told me, with the angel watching over me I will live as long as he lets me, but if hes not, u only have 3 weeks to live my dear. I didn’t get the 1st part he said, not one bit. Angel? What angel? Was he talking about Gaberial? No he couldn’t have been. Again I tried calling his phone. Almost everyday I have tried calling him, and no one answered. I called him for help, and cryed, and cryed, I needed him, I wanted his support on how to beat this. I even remembered his prayer he wanted me to do. SO I prayed real hard and real hearted. I told God I wanted Zach to be with me, that my love for him was uncondtional, and that I want him to stay with me for the rest of my life that I have got left. I cryed and cryed some more. I finally cryed myself to sleep. I awoke to a bright light coming from the ceiling. I thought it was the nurses coming in and I told them to shut the light off if they would. But the light never shut off, finally I manage to sit up and was going to scream at them to shut the lights off, until I seen zach, floating in the air. Then it became dark again. “ Zach? Zach?” I whispered. I felt something slide against my leg, and I felt the emotions and feelings in my heart, and knew it was him. I gave him a big hug and told him I tried to call. I had asked him what was the light, and whos beautiful voice was that? He told me I would find out when the time was ready. He told me he knew and that he was sorrie he couldn’t answer. He said there was something he had to tell me. So I let him talk. He told me there was something I should know, and so when before its too late he should tell me. He told me he knew all about the caner. That was why that day when she sesned he was angry, an sad is because he was asking God why did it happened to the one he loved, and wanted to be with the rest of his life. He knew it wasn’t aloud to ask “why” to God, and He had warned Zach not to get the close to her, that he was there to protect her. Not to fall in love with her. He told her the reason he didn’t answer his phone was because nothing from earth except the soil, and water its self was aloud in Heavens Gates. So he had to leave it behind. “While I was up there God let me here the prayer u prayed for me, that I had asked you to do along time ago. This time you had the heartness in it. I heard u saying you loved me and wanted to be with me. I cryed in Gods arms, and he only gave me two choices. Since I didn’t want you to die, I wanted you to be here, to find a lovely husband and have kids, live a good life on this earth, finish the world out, that you hadn’t got to explore yet.” He explained “ but I want to be with you Zach” I told him crying, my heart was hurting, I wanted to feel him on me, I wanted to kiss him. And I knew he knew what I wanted from him, and I had a feeling it was killing him not to do it. “ I don’t want to hurt you anymore then I am already.” He told me with water in his eyes. And with that he finished “ Carrie there is something I am going to do to you..but this is what I want to say.” He said crying “ I love you Carrie, please don’t forget me, I will always be with you in your heart.” And with that he put his hand on my head. I kept asking him what he was doing, but he wouldn’t answer. I kept screamin “Zach don’t leave please…I love you..please don’t leave me..please.” I finished off with a whisper, I was crying hard, I was hurting I wanted him, I didn’t want him to leave, I loved him. He was standing there still. Finally it was over, and he was there pale, with those crystal blue eyes, staring into me. I cryed and cryed. I loved him, and I hope he heared me say it. I layed him beside me and I held him tightly, crying. I cryed and cryed. He gave his life that he God had given him to live on earth again, to his only love, to give her a life that she could finish, and have kids, and a family to settle down with. To finish exploring the world. “ I was” she said finishing her story out to the crowd of graduation “ was in the hands of and Angel.” And that day I knew he was watching and smiling down at me, because that day, the sun shined like it never did before.
