Fallen: Where do angels fly?

Where do angels fly?

‘Hey Mark! Wait up!’ Mark turned to see Ike jogging after him. ‘How’s it going?’ he called, only slightly caring. ‘Ok. So…ah…how’ve you been?’ Ike asked, catching up to him. ‘Yeah, ok.’ ‘Haven’t seen you for awhile.’ ‘Yeah, sorry, other things to do. How’s Tay, Zac?’ ‘They’re ok.’ The two walked along further. ‘Broke up with Lacey you’ll be happy to know.’ Mark informed his friend, anger boiling up inside him at the mention of her name. Ike recoiled. ‘Uh, sorry? You what?’ ‘I said, I broke up with Lacey. You should be happy, now she’s all yours.’ Ike was shocked. Lacey and Mark were over? He was torn between shouting for joy and wallowing deeper in his misery, knowing he still didn’t have a chance. ‘Well? Aren’t you gonna say something? You’re so in love with her it’s pathetic.’ Ike was at a loss for words. A huge grin spread across his face. ‘I knew it! You’re pathetic!’ Mark spat at him. ‘But you know what? She’ll never look at you! You’re beneath her, and might I add, that must be pretty low.’ Mark turned and sped off across the street. Ike felt like he had been slapped.

Lacey and Adrian were fooling around in her room when Lacey’s phone rang. ‘Oh jeez! Interruptions!’ Grumbling, she leant over and grabbed the phone. ‘What?’ she asked, irritated. ‘Lacey. It’s me.’ ‘Mark! What do you want calling here?’ ‘I, uh, just wanted to see if you were ok. I mean…….’ Lacey couldn’t believe her ears. ‘Excuse me? Me ok? And why wouldn’t I be?’ ‘Oh, no reason. I just called to see how you were.’ ‘I’m fine. And you?’ Lacey asked, although she couldn’t have cared less. ‘Yeah, ok. I’m coping.’ ‘Great, look. I have company. I’d better go.’ ‘Oh, ok.’ ‘Yeah. I’ll be seeing ya.’ ‘Yeah. Bye Lacey.’ But she’d already hung up.

Anger boiled up inside Mark. He had heard the male’s voice in the background. They had tried hard to conceal it but he’d heard all right. How dare she? How dare she have another guy over? She belonged to him and it was about time he made her believe it.

Ike didn’t think he could ever get Lacey to notice him, let alone go out anywhere with him. Two whole months living next door to her. Two whole months and about five words. How pathetic! And what did Mark mean she was all his? What was happening?
