angel x demon pt 2
~Evangeline POV~
Lilith and Delores come back after a few minutes. I wonder what they were talking about. Lilith sits in the back with me and she looks disappointed, so I decide I'll ask her about it later. For now I decide to cheer her up by playing her favorite songs on Bluetooth. All four of us are jamming right now to Highway to Hell by AC/DC. "This makes me wonder why is there a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven?" Lilith asks me.
"Maybe because you have to work more to get the good fun stuff like going to heaven. But it's easy to fall into temptation and go to hell," I guess.
"I guess. I think it's funny though that those songs exist."
"Yeah that is rather odd. Although if you listen to the lyrics Stairway to Heaven is actually not about working hard and honestly to make it to heaven, it's about drugs."
Her eyes light up with interest. "Actually there's an infinite number of meanings you can get from it. It can be about drug use, sure. But it could also be about the fear of death. Or it could be about greed. It's not the lyrics that are important, it's all about how it's sung. Led Zeppelin is sort of genius for this. How many songs do you know that have this many meanings?"
"Not that many," I admit.
The rest of the car ride we just continue jamming or chatting with all four of us. We drop Lilith off at her house first, so it's just me, Del, and Mabel. "That was a good movie," I announce.
"Yeah. I loved when that one guy did a back flip off the roof then landed it perfectly and got the other guy and he didn't get a single scratch from it," Mabel rants.
"Oh yeah that's was pretty awesome. How about when the two love interests admitted they loved each other while the sun was setting? That felt familiar," Delores says and they both giggle.
"What was your favorite part, Evangeline?" Mabel asks me.
"I really liked that scene where the main charecter had to sacrifice a part of their self to save their love interest. It really shows that love makes you do crazy things. He could have walked away, but instead he gave the villain what he wanted, in order to save the love of his life. It's kind of poetic. He'd be willing to sacrifice something he cares a ton about, just to save his boyfriend. Him getting it back kind of defeats the point, but the fact that he was willing to just give up a part of his soul in order to save a part of his heart, it's phenomenal," I answer.
There was a long silence and in that time I regret my answer for being too philosophical on this fun silly car ride.
Finally Delores says something. "Wow that is a good point I haven't really thought of before. That shows a lot about his charecter. I'd sacrifice myself for you babe," she says and kisses Mabel's hand.
"Aw thanks. I'd sacrifice myself for you in a heartbeat," Mabel says and continues watching the road from the passenger seat.
"Bye guys thanks for the time!" I say after I get out. Ah home at last. Now what do I do? I think I might try to sleep. I don't need to sleep because I'm an angel, however it's fun sometimes to just relax and recharge for a few hours. I decide to try to sleep, but I just can't seem to sleep. Instead I'm wide awake staring at the ceiling overthinking about everything that has happened today. I wonder if Mabel and Delores think I'm weird for my answer. I wonder if my friendship with Lilith is actually some sort of scheme, demons are known to do stuff like that. I can't see Lilith doing that though, not after our conversation in the bowling alley. I really do feel like we have a mutual understanding and we're going to help each other. We've known each other for centuries so we might as well stop being ignorant and hating each other, and begin to understand and grow from each...
