Louis.
White.
That's all I see right now, just-pure-white. With my eyes squinting, I walked forward trying to find some sort of escape. As I kept walking I saw stairs, crystal stairs, I frown with curiosity and walk slowly up the crystal steps. When I got to the top of the crystal stairs, I saw a door, a door made out of wood, with vines and flowers colliding together making a beautiful design. When I reach for the door handle, a middle aged women appeared in front of me with a clipboard in hand.
"Louis, Louis Tomlinson?" She asked with a warm smile.
"-T-That would be me." I said in a small voice, unsure of what her intentions were.
"I'm Jane, Come with me." She said opening the door and takin my hands, a wave of peace coursing through me. Strange.
As we entered the long hallway, I follow Jane, but then something caught my attention, there were wings placed inside an accurate sized transparent glass case on the wall with a little plaque underneath each one, it kept going till the end of the the hallway I was so focused on the wing display around me I didn't see Jane stop, causing me to bump into her, making me apologize like 10 times in a row.
"It's okay, follow me so you can evaluate your life and get you going." She said and it all clicked.
The Heist. The shot.
I'm dead.
"Am I... Dead?" It sounded better in my head.
"Yes, you are." She said turning to face me.
"Wait, if I'm dead, then this must be He-" I analyzed but got cut off.
"Heaven? yes you are in Heaven." She said in a more serious tone. Like she has said or rehearsed this far to many times.
"So if I'm already dead, and I'm here..., why do you have to evaluate my life?" I asked. Curiosity killing the cat. But I'm dead so.
"Because we have to see where you really belong, up here or down there." She said and my eyes widen. No no no, I can't be dead, what about nan! She needs me.
"But can't I go back to earth? I mean, I have been good." I said getting desperate now.
"It doesn't work that way Louis, you can't go back, your dead." She said smiling tightly.
"Please! Can I talk to someone who can? I mean I need to take care of my nan, she must be worried sick about me! Please I can't leave her down there alone!" I exclaim, and Jane was no longer smiling.
"No! You will come with me, get evaluated and move on!" She exclaimed back. Making me me huff out.
"I won't go with you! I'm staying here and finding a way back down by myself." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
Before she could speak, a blinding blue light appeared. Making me cover my eyes at the sudden brightness. As the bright blue light faded away, a man stood before us, tall, heavenly sculpted face, dark blue eyes, brown hair. God, Jesus have mercy.
"Tomlinson?" He's said with a deep voice and I slowly raise my hand, lost of words. "Would you be so kind in accompanying me for a few minutes?" I immediately nod my head and walked over to him. "Let's go shall we." He said, placing his middle and index finger on my forehead. Making everything around me black.

I woke up in an unknown room, it had blue sky walls, a black marble table in the center, with a flower vase of Blue Orchards in the middle, the chairs were white with a blue cushion on the seat, I looked down and it's a dark brown wooden floor.
"Are you done?" I look up and see the man who I saw seconds ago.
"Not quite." I spoke softly looking over the room again. Amazing. "Okay, done."
"Okay, please take a sit, Tomlinson." He said and I sat on one of the corner chairs of the table. "I heard distress coming from the Hallway of Respect. Tell me, why is that?" He asked while circling the table slowly, keeping his eyes trained on me.
"Uh- eh... Well you see... I got killed in a heist, because I was helping everyone escape, especially this little girl who got hold hostage. It was terrible, anyways now I'm here and I want to go back to earth, I can't leave my nan alone, she can't be alone, and I'll do anything to go back, even if it kills me again." I said in a secure tone.
"Do you know who I am, Tomlinson?" He asked and I shook my head. "I'm the Archangel Gabriel, and I'm quite interested on your determination, and your selfless heart. How about we make a deal?" He said and my ears perk up in interest.
"Go on."
"Well, I'm willing to let you go back to earth." He said in a serious tone.
"Really?! Oh my, thank-" I exclaim but he cut me off.
"Only if you fulfill to turn a life from selfish to selfless."
"Wait, what? How am I suppose to do that?!" I argue and he smirks.
I look at him in confusion, but then felt a pain stab at my shoulder blades, I scream out in agony and fall to the floor, the pain wouldn't stop. I felt the skin of my shoulder blades tear open, only increasing the pain. I kept screaming and curling into fatal position. Suddenly it all stopped, the pain....gone. Leaving my fatal position, I sit up and look at the smirking archangel.
"What in the world was that!" I shout at Gabriel, when I get up to confront him, I feel different my back was a tat more heavier, and I felt another wave of peace.
"That, Louis is how you are going to turn a life from selfish to selfless." He said pointing at my shoulders.
As I look over my shoulders, I see this huge white wings with black and with highlighted feathers, I squeal and jump.
"What is this?!" I asked terrified.
"Those are wings, guardian angel wings." He said and I look at him baffled.
"I'm a guardian angel?" He nodded and I stood there in shock.
"I'll assign you the human you will have to change. And-"
Then I remembered something really important.
"Wait what about my nan?" I asked.
I saw him sigh."Unfortunately, in reality, your dead Louis, the only way you can go back to earth and still see her, or even walk the streets, is to wipe everyone's memories of you. Like if you were never born. I'm sorry."
"So, my nan... Won't-remember-me?" I said in a sad tone, not liking the idea of my nan not knowing who I was.
"I'm afraid not, but I'm sending a Guardian Shield Angel to watch over her." He said.
"So she'll be protected by this angel? Like completely safe?" I ask, wanting to make sure she'll be alright.
"Completely safe." He said.
It's for the best Louis. At least you'll get to see her.
"Okay, so who's the life I have to change?" He smiled and pulled out a... Wait is that a Tablet?!, He started taping the screen and scrolling down.
"Ah, here he is." Passing me his tablet I see a file appear on it. "He's name is Harry Styles, been to prison 1 time, got bailed out, was in there for killing his father, drug addict and alcoholic. He lives alone, works in a tattoo parlor."
I scroll down Harry's file my jaw on the floor. I'm suppose to change this to good?
"And here's where the deal comes in." He said and my attention was now on him. "If you change him from selfish to selfless, and get him in the right path, you can become human again, and your Nan's memory will return, same to everyone you know."
"...But? there always a but, tell me the but." I urge.
"I was getting to that, calm down." I nod and shut up.
"But, if you don't change his life, you will come back, get your wings taken away, and move on and go to heaven like you we're suppose to in the beginning." He said and I was getting nervous. My thoughts were filled with 'What if's'.
"When do I start?" I ask.
"Oh, as soon as possible." He said and I nod. "I'm going to tell you, the roll you play." I tilted my head to the side in curiosity. Then he took the Tablet away and began taping and scrolling...again.
"Your may keep you birth name, but your life is completely different. You are, Louis William Tomlinson, soon to be employee of the 'Broken Wing ink' tattoo parlor. Lives in a small flat with a jack rustle named Yoco. Your only friend is Castile, (watch dog angel) he will monitor you and tell me the latest updates on how your doing." He said and I was yet again, baffled.
"How will I know when's my dead line?" That's like my hundredth question I've made.
"You have one years time, you'll have this necklace with a a white stone on it," he said while taking out the necklace and tossing it to me, as I put it on he kept explaining."It will change color per season, at the end of the years all the colors of each season will line up in the white stone, all at once. Signaling that your times up."
"So I'm like an undercover agent?" I ask just to put some humor in this, It was all really suffocating.
"You can say that, so are you ready?" He asked and I nod. "Last details, keep this tablet, you can contact me on an emergency, in your flat you'll have everything you will need, food, bed, phone, and there's tv. You have to go to your already scheduled job interview in the tattoo parlor at 8:30am, and don't worry about not getting the job, you have the job already assured, and you'll fit right in with your already tattooed arms! So... Let's get this show on the road."
I get mentally prepared to go, Gabriel smiles at me, wishes me good luck and placed his middle and index finger on my forehead, and I got sucked in on the very familiar darkness.
