How in the hell had this happened? Here Ian was sitting at a table waiting for a blind date that his friend has set him up with. "Some friends�" He mumbled. He sighed and learned back, maybe this wouldn�t be so bad. Like hell it wouldn�t. He already liked someone else. Back in Connecticut, there was a girl who had captured his heart� then he moved.

He shook his head. Stop thinking like that. He slouched further in his seat as he waited for his "hot date" to arrive.

oh god what am i doin here? who goes on blind dates anyways? i hope hes cool at least..wow hm is that him over there..yeah it is..wow hes cute..awesome hair!.."hey im evelyn..your ian rite?"

Ian�s head snapped up at the sound of his name being called. That�s was her. His blind date.She was� cute� in her own way. He removed a hand from his hoodie and waved a pale hand at the girl called Evelyn. "Yep. That�s me." he mumbled. She wasn�t amazing and certainly not the "hot date" his friends had ranted on and on about� but she wasn�t horrible.

hm..hes not like as cute up close *giggles slightly* "so..um..i dont do theis often.." evelyn said in a curious tone"..but uh i guess we should get to know eachother first." wow this is accaulyl making me nervous what the hell..this is rediculous "what do you like to do..?" she paused and mumbled "i guess.."

Ian sighed, she was stumbling over all her words� How would he be able to have a conversation with her? "I write� and draw�" That�s all he really did� "And... I read magna, too�" That was it. His life in one sentence. Yes, he had absolutely NOTHING better to do. He had no life here, he�d forgotten to pack it when he moved, and he'd left it there... with her...

god this guy is lame..okay no need to b nervous..well at least we have something in common "heh i read manga too..and i draw..im not really into writing though.." hm well that was easy..evelyn looked around the room..taking in her surroundings..feeling more liek herself as time went on.."so..do you think i could read or see some of your stuff sometime?"

"It depends� I don�t have any of my stuff here� So� I�d have to� see you again, if I were to show them to you." Way to go Ian. He slumped even further in his seat, if that was even possible. He glanced about the room as if he was expecting someone, but saw no one� his eyes followed an invisible man. He snapped his eyes back to Evelyn. "What kind of manga do you read?" he asked.

"Well hey im up for seeing you again..i mean so far things are cool" she slumped down a little..why was she so perky today? it seemed that that right there wwas making this whole night go bad. "um manga..lets see..i read one piece, naruto and um saiyuki..you?" why is my mind going blank here..i dont like this at all..id rather b home..i miss my dark room the confort it holds..she glanced over at ian.."Ian? wat kind of mangfa do you read?" Ian..i liek that name she thought to herself.

Ian shifted his attention to her. "I read�One piece, and S-CRY-ed�FMA� 666satan, Saiyuki and Naruto�" That wasn�t all of the magna he read, but it was most of it. But� see her again� He really didn�t know.. How could she be so sure that they�d like each other? He didn�t really care all too much about her right now.

"i..uh..i like your hair..its cool.." hm well this is sum intesting conversation..NOT. Evelyn sat back up in her seat and grabbed for the menu..wow im so hungry..hm do ya think it'll b weird if i eat..and like he doesn't?? hm..no i don't even care.."hey Ian? are you gonna get anything to eat?" i guess i'll find out..

"Thanks�" he said as he ran a hand though his hair. "Yeah.. I guess I'll get something�" He slipped his hands out of his hoodie and grabbed the menu. He opened it and scanned though the contents� Meat, meat, meat� Everything had meat in it� His eyes widened as he caught sight of the logo on the cover of Evelyn�s menu.

Mighty Mac�s Meat Shack.

Is what was proudly labeled across the menus. He groaned. No effing way. His friends sent him to a meat house� They KNEW he was a vegetarian. Peachy, he thought, just effing peachy.

"hm im not sure wat im getting..all this stuff is huuuge..Ian..wat are you getting?" all of this food is so big i could never eat all that! hm well ian looks dicusted with this place. i dont think i'll ever go on a blind date again..who goes to maughty mac's meat shack for a date anyways?

Ian paled. What was he gonna say? He supposed he could order fries� But they were so greasy and disgusting� "I� I�" Crap, crap, crapity, crap. This was not good. "I�ll just get the- the�" No dairy food either� shit� "I can�t eat any of this" he mumbled softly, as he scanned the menu again� Nope� Nada.

"what do you mean you can't eat it?" is he like a vegi freak aka vegitarian? haha shud i ask? "oh are you a vegitarian?" hm well all this crap is too big anyways.."do you want to go somewhere else? i mean all this crap is to huge for me.." she felt dumb..why did she say that? there was no need to saythat? im trying too hard she thought..she glanced over at ian..and saw him roll his eyes.."this isn't going too well..it is?" she slumped back down into her seat as far as she could

Ian squirmed uncomfortably. Did she have something against vegetarians? "Yeah, I am�" He said quietly and looked away. "I don�t really care� And it�s going� however we choose it to go�" Yes, that was perfect, now ignore the voices in your head and get on with this. But, Ian thought, I don�t wanna. I�d rather listen to the voices. They�re better than this� than people� Ian glanced around again, and met Evelyn's confused stare. Fuck� He�d voiced those comments hadn�t he? ...well, shit.

"um are you okay Ian?..you seem a little..i duno..freaked out..or something.." evelyn jsut looked away from him.."thats cool..about you being a vegitarian and all.." hm wat was he talkin about i mean at least with these thoughts i keep them to myself hes over there thinking abotu hte voices in his head? what kinda freinds set this up?

Ian bowed his head. "I�m sorry." he murmured. It was all he could do. She probably didn�t want to stay here now� He could tell her� But that never worked out. He�d just have to lie.

Problem.

He had no idea what to say in his lie. He immediately began arguing with the voices in his head again. Not realizing the Evelyn was able to hear everything.

this guy is crazy!! what in the world!? "um Ian?? is everything okay in there?" she tapped him playfully on the forehead she was trying not to make a big deal about it..even though it did make her nervous.."do you want to leave?" "Ian?"

Ian jumped when Evelyn tapped his forehead. "I�m sorry." he muttered again and stood up and ran out of the restaurant. He could feel their stares everywhere, mocking him, hurting him. He collapsed onto to cold cement out side the building. He was a schizophrenic and he knew it. He shivered. They were staring, always were. Out to get him, gonna kill him. Everyone. Everywhere.

He broke down.

Completely.

Shaking, crying, and whimpering.

He hated himself.

evelyn ran out after him.."Ian calm down its okay!!" evely had never been so shocked and confused all at once..she hugged him and looked into his eyes and said "ian its okay its gona be okay..are you alrite? im sorry for hitting you in the head before.."

Ian stared at her. Her eyes. They were the same as Angel�s� "�Evelyn?" he asked shakily.

Her eyes.

Everything cleared up a bit.

Her eyes.

The voices faded.

Her eyes.

The same.

She was� the new angel� a new angel�

An angel.

thousands of thoughts raced through her mind..she wasn't sure of what to say.."yes? ian im here.." the first thing she could think to say..

"Evelyn� I� Schizophrenic� I�m�" He couldn�t talk. Why was she still here? Everyone else went away. Why did she stay. Angel. She was an Angel? No� She wasn�t. "Evelyn, I�m schizophrenic... I hear voices in my head... and I see things you can�t� I�m sorry." She�d leave now, just like that.

Angel.

Maybe� She�d stay like Angel had� "Ian..i was trying to make this work from the beginning..and youve grown on me..i dont care if you here voices in you head or see things..i mean your still you..no matter whats wrong..and i care about you.." was that the right thing to say? what if he doesnt like me..and he wants me to leave him be?

Ian looked into her eyes again. Her leaned closer and pressed his lips against hers� He pulled back a second later and he rested his head on Evelyn�s shoulder.

"My angel�" he muttered against her neck, before he fell asleep.
