Quite Simply Me
For years he had watched her and did his best to pull her from harm's way and from death's grasp. Quietly he lingered in the shadows unless it was necessary to intervene, for all he wanted was her to smile. Truly, it was the one thing he loved most in the world; her smile. Not the mask she wore in front of her family and friends when she refused to allow herself to cry, but the bright, shining smile that appeared when she was genuinely happy. He was willing to do anything to see it. Sadly, she never cared for it. Though he attempted on numerous occasions to find ways to bring out the joy in her, it was near impossible. Each time he took one step closer to her heart, she immediately ran five feet away from him. Happiness was terrifying to her.

There was a time in her life where she loved everything around her. Surely, she was upset on occasion, but never as horrid as she was now. Slowly those around her stomped all over her and crushed her spirits, causing her to shut down. They left her in the shadows, which was where he finally revealed himself. It isn't certain if he was spying on her beforehand, but she never asked so there was no reason for him to ever tell her. She only wished one thing of him: to not attack those around her. As peculiar as that request may sound, it was very much needed to be said for her desperately wanted to tear apart the people she was around. Friends weren't supposed to use each other, hit each other, or make each other cry, which she was found doing, silently, for hours when she locked herself in her room while everyone was gone. He knew this for he sat beside her whenever she broke down.

A few times he lashed out and attacked those attacking her, only getting away with it because they weren't the direct cause. These people were the minor characters on the side, nowhere near the root problem. He made his presence known only once to one of the people she forbade him from speaking to, but never again when he saw how enraged she was afterwards.

Constantly he insisted she leave this place; that she was miserable and needed to find a place that would make her happy. She didn't believe it was possible. To her, happiness didn't exist anymore. Yet she tried to find it in others, the very same people who stabbed her in the back whenever they got the chance. He insisted she leave them; she needed new friends, but she never left them. One by one they left her until she was alone, just like she was before.

He was there for the tears, the heartbreaks, the tantrums, the screaming, the carving, and the suicide attempts. All of it tore him apart inside, but he had to make her stop for herself, not for him. He hid that it hurt him at all, at least until it was time for him to leave. No one can ever stay forever.

Now he is holding her like he always wanted. Kissing her softly, giving her the satisfaction and happiness she could only dream of. She had no idea it was him. The cloak shrouded his face. It wasn't until she awoke with her back arched and her eyes wide that she realized what was going on.

"I love you," came a whisper. Her guardian angel was gone.
