I am being pulled,

In too many directions,

I love this girl,

Is an answer to all my questions.

Xander

Should I tell Freya that she should never wear a beanie? But that will be my own loss, but then again it was really dangerous like this. She lifted her hand to settle the flicks outside the beanie on her forehead. She looked absolutely adorable in that thing.

"I think bonfire is a stupid idea?" And she looked at me for my comments.

I snapped out of the staring trance and answered , "Why so?"

"Well for one why are we wasting that much wood to have young people come and drink and dance.?"

"For fun grandma." I chuckled at her serious expression.

Her nose was red and it clearly looked she was hating it here. She rubbed her nose with the back of her hand, an attempt to get in warm I suppose but I found it dangerously cute. Something was definitely wrong with me.

"Damn Hailey." She cursed and I smirked at the thought.

Seeing a simple sweet girl like Freya get jealous for you is kind of an honor. She just came to the thing so that Hailey kept her claws off me. I should have managed that alone but Freya took the lead on this and I gladly allowed.

"How many boys have you dated?" I asked out of the blue somehow my mind telling me to hunt each one of them .

She gave me a dry look and that's when I knew I dug my own grave, "I think I should be asking that question."

Alexander, you are such a fool!

I am the smoothest talker you will come across or I'd like to think so but right now all talking was gone.

"Too many before you came along." I tried.

But she was too smart for that as she rolled her eyes and looked around us . Much to my dismay, almost every girl was looking at me. Earlier I admired this kind of attention but now only attention I needed was hers.

"Well, I caught you making out with one while I was in slavery." She sounded sore about it and I was enjoying it a bit too much.

"You know I made you my slave because I wanted you around me all time and I had no other way then." My confession made her fluster and she looked away.

The heat from the fire started warming others around and I realized I was not even feeling cold. But Freya might have felt the heat because she took off her jacket.

"Do you want a drink?" She asked probably feeling awkward like hell.

Drunk Freya was really dangerous.

Bit before I could respond she walked away to get one and I had another one of those memory flashes. We are the bonfire and she was drunk, clutching on to my collar and I am trying hard not to kiss her right then. And when I got back to my senses I saw Leonard standing next to her.

She looked uncomfortable as hell as he blocked his path. I immediately went to her but was stopped in mid by Hailey.

"Hailey, not now." I tried to sound as dangerous as possible.

She gave me a sly look and gripped my hand, "You don't want to do that Alex. Do you know why I organized this whole thing? To give Leo a chance he needs and get that bitch away from you while we go to a family dinner."

It happened too fast but my hand was around her neck and I was throttling her, "Don't insult her Hailey or you might see the worst of me." She paled and nodded frantically.

I let her go and she coughed in pain , her eyes watering slightly.

"You have used the dad card for enough times now Hailey, never again I am listening to the man who can't accept me as the son." Tonight's family dinner was the last time Hailey could use my dad to torment me.

But the extreme torture was Freya looking at Leonard , not so scared now as he talked to her animatedly. I needed Haylien in this situation. Hailey silently walked to the car still in shock of my actions while I dialed Haylien's number.

"What is the brother?" He said and it felt familiar.

He was my brother I knew that, I saw that but what was I exactly. Was he the part of my biological family?

Hailey was in the car I nodded at her letting her know I will come on my own.

"What am i?" I should say other things like guard Freya or help me out but for now, the most nagging question came out of my mouth.

"Angel." His short and crisp answer made me think for a while that he was joking. But he looked at me all serious.

Oookay, so I am an angel? From what angle?

"What are you then?"

"Angel." He shrugged as if this was obvious.

It should be, we are brothers, aren't we?

"Leonard is a demon in case you are wondering?" He answered suggestively and I felt a sudden punch of anger.

"I will handle him for now , you do deal with this clingy girl of yours." He offered.

I didn't believe all this but I was not doubting him. Everything he said sounded true somehow.

"Who is Freya ?" was she an angel, she looked like on too.

Haylien chuckled deeply, "She is that one person in the whole universe who can tame you."

Again as ridiculous it sounds, it made sense.

I sat down in my car looking at Freya one last time and saw her searching for me in the crowd. I called her after gathering courage as Haylien suggested.

"Where are you?" She sounded concerned.

"Being dragged to a family dinner." From a distance, I saw the disappointment on her face and it hurt like hell.

Next instant Haylien was next to her and I relaxed.

"Okay, have fun then. I will enjoy without you." She sulked and her cuteness melted me.

"But I can't enjoy without you." My bunt words made her blush.

She took off her beanie and fanned her from it as if feeling hot all of a sudden. As I drove off her brown hair almost red in firelight was the last thing I saw deciding to get certain things in place.

"Dad I don't like Hailey, I like someone else," I said after the dinner which I don't want to remember.

"Who else?" He asked is a challenging tone.

"there is a girl at school." My mom looked nervous.

"Darling, she is pretty." My mom was trying to help but dad looked disinterested.

I have never been scared of him I was just respectful since he took care of me and all after being an adopted child.

"Are you no good? You don't seem intelligent enough to take over our business; all you do is rebel like a brat. And one family is there to help us, you find another girl to torment me." Dad sounded angry and guess what so was I.

The word rebel didn't annoy me , it made me realize what I was, a rebel.

"Can't you respect my choice?" I snapped surprising mom and dad.

"I am trying to help you here Alex and that girl is too low class and a cheap. She is already dating Leonard, my rival's son I have heard and works at a local diner. Such girls are nothing but gold diggers."

That acted as the needle to my little restraint balloon and I my temper showed up. The light and glass things around us shattered as little cracks erupted in the walls. Lights flickered the way they did at Barney's. I was powerful alright but I felt not so angelic right then.

My parents looked scared as hell and in that moment a sharp memory hit my nerves as my body filled with power. Another girl, naughty smile, my closest confidant, my sister Alicia.

Where the hell is she?

My eyes opened and I was calm again, my thoughts centered on one more amazing revelation. Suddenly my mom and dad drifted off to sleep on the spot where they standing. They were both going to fall so I rushed next to mom preventing her from falling and I noticed the girl from my flash, Alicia helping dad.

"Alicia."

"Now you remember. I should at least get to punch you." She sounded chirpy and excited.

"Where have you been?" I asked, curious as to why she was not around me.

And surprisingly I could already feel the brotherly love around her.

"Being the youngest sibling and doing all the work. I have been collecting your memories scattered by Lizea and the group."

"So have many did you find?" I asked not sure if I should be this easy and trusting about this.

"Well, all related to us but nothing for you and Freya. How do you even love her in every way possible?" The last was more like an incredulous question to herself.

But I did get flashes and mostly about me and Freya.

"How do I get rest of my memories?" I asked.

"Well, both yours and hers. They are hidden well in heaven but apparently we all are weak enough to retrieve it, only you can." An angel did not just say that to me.

Am I that powerful?

"In these memories do I love Freya?" Because that wouldn't be too far-fetched.

Alicia smiled at me with amusement.

"Can you imagine not being in love with her?" Her question hit home and I realized I apparently loved Freya Morenson and I needed those memories back.
