An Angel

She couldn't remember the last time she had laughed so hard, she couldn't remember the last time she had laughed at all. The sun shone down so brightly that day and Will's smile seemed to make everything even brighter. The kindness Will was showing her filled her small world and every day since the beginning of the Summer she had waited patiently for her father to go to work before running across the road to Will's house and embarking on seemingly wonderful adventures. Often these adventures were as small as a walk to the park or a picnic in Will's garden, but for May they were wonderful. Her father was so strict and angered so easily she was barely allowed outside, let alone with a boy. Everyday was like a dream. This day quickly turned into a nightmare.

Today she could see what Will was doing from her bedroom window, he was making a picnic in his front garden. Picnics with Will were her favorite. There was no one just them, no distraction, she could concentrate on him alone. His mousey-blonde hair and emerald green eyes, every single part of him she soaked in like a sponge. She didn't want to forget a bit of him. As soon as her father slammed the door and pulled off down the street she ran outside and across to Will. He greeted her with a hug, a big hug. She breathed in his scent, he wasn't wearing after shave or anything, he just smelled lovely, she didn't want to miss a second of this.

They had finished their picnic and were lying flat on their backs next to each other, watching the clouds. It was just like a normal day. Then she felt his hand on hers, sending shivers up and down her spine. She turned her head to face his and stared deep into his eyes. He kissed her then. Long and passionately. She was younger than him and naive and was new to the whole thing, but she loved it, she loved him, she would have carried on forever, but then suddenly a big force threw them apart. Her Summer dream was quickly becoming a summer nightmare. Her father was not touching her to her shock but he was beating Will.

"Daddy!" She cried, she was nearly sixteen and he still treated her like his little girl, but not in the way most fathers do, "please STOP!" She cried.

"YOU NEVER TOUCH MY DAUGHTER AGAIN!" He picked Will up high and threw him to the ground. He kicked and punched.

"HELP! SOMEONE!" May cried out. Surely someone could see or hear this? May screamed to Will's mother who was coming out of the house and started running when she saw what was happening, but May's father was too quick. He left Will and quickly grabbed May. Her father was a strong man and she was so small it was not hard for him to grab her, but May wriggled and hit and kicked out but he managed to drag her to the pavement but then she kicked him hard, so hard he dropped her. She fell into the road.

"May!" Will called, but it was too late, the van was going quickly, too quickly. May went flying up into the air and landed with a bump on the road. Will's mother had run inside to call the police. Will ran to May. Blood trickling down his face from his nose, mouth and a cut in his head, he was in pain. He tried to get to May but her father had the advantage of no big injuries, he got there first, grabbed May and shoved her into his car and sped off.

"She has to go to hospital!" Will cried after them.

Her father had, for once, done the right thing by his little girl. He had taken her to the hospital but her injuries were too severe. She was in a coma and then died, with Will next to her. May's father went to prison for what he did to Will, he had to sell his house to pay for the lawyer, he wouldn't need it, at least for a few years anyway. A new family moved in across the street. Slowly, everyone moved on. Will's family were astounded that he decided to befriend the new girl who moved in across the street, but he did. None of them knew her name was Angel. None of them knew what May had told Will right before she died, right after she woke from the coma for those few moments but what she'd said he did, after all he loved her.

"I'll send an angel instead."

I don't know...I felt the urge to write, I didn't know how to end it! Suggestions? Thanks:)
