"Come back...? And leave Adri...? N-No... I... I can't..." The thought of this hit me like a fatal blow. My legs nearly collapsed from under me. Nolan carefully put his arm around my waist and lowered me to the ground.
"I know this is really important and all, but Heaven hasn't been this disorganized since...well I would have still been alive, so I don't know," he attempted to get a laugh out of me, but my face was housing a severely stressed look. He sighed. "They're lost without a leader. Even after Caleb and Adriana were lost so long ago, at least they had you. Now, with you gone things are getting crazy. They need you, Ai."
"But I'm just a replacement!" I finally found my words. "We all need Caleb and Adri! I can't just leave, they haven't remembered yet!"
"Then they need to remember. Soon." I looked up at Nolan. He was deep in thought, but when he felt my eyes on him, he smiled at me. "We'll work this out. Don't worry."
"WHAT!?!? What do you mean you're leaving!?!?" I jumped from Liliana's outburst.
"Lil, I'm sorry. But Heaven needs a leader. They need me." She put her hand on her head as if she had a headache.
"But Adri and Caleb need you too," she said. "How are their memories supposed to return if you're not here?"
"Well..." I said. "I think I might be able to have Caleb's memories return..." Hope crossed Liliana's face. "But I'm not completely sure if it'll work," I added quickly. The hope didn't fade.
"Whatever," Liliana shook off my doubt. "Why Caleb though? Why not Adri? Or them both?"
"Well, Caleb was always better at handling tough situations. And as long as he stays around Adriana, her memories should come back to her."
"Okay...So how are you going to bring back Caleb's memory?"
"Same way us angels do everything. I'm going to pray for it."
Liliana nodded. "Good luck," she said.
I smiled. "Thanks," I said. "I'm going to need it."
