Past Angel's POV:

I walked through the streets, with my bags and such. I got kicked out of my parents house, great. Everyone looked at me, I couldn't help to feel a little uncomfortable.. Without looking I crossed the road. I turned my head being face to face with a speeding car. (You know where this is going- 😃🔫) I froze at the car came closer, and closer. I couldn't even scream! Just when I decided to accept my fate, two people, around my age I suppose, pushed me to the other side with the speed of light. I screeched as I fell on the floor.

"I'm sorry! But hey, at least I saved you!" I heard a voice say. "H-Hey! Don't take all th-the credit..!" Another one said. I turned around after standing up. "Oh yeah! Hi... I'm CJ by the way!" The boy said. "A-And I'm Ruby..! Nice to me-meet you!" The girl exclaimed. Ruby...? I heard that name before... I spoke. "Hello! Uh.." I then paused for a few seconds. "Thank you for... saving me from death.." I continued, looking to the side. "Yeah! No problem!" CJ winked at me. I couldn't tell if it was flirting, or if it's just a sign of friendship..

"R-right..." I stuttered. "CJ are yo-you flirting with p-people that you don't really kn-know again..?" Ruby said. "It's not flirting Ruby! Just.. a sign of friendship!" He answered. "Speaking of 'friendship' I know this is really random but.. would you like to meet the rest of my friends and family?" I eagerly nodded. "Sure!" I exclaimed. We then walked towards a mansion. I gasped and almost dropped my bags. "Are you okay?" CJ asked. "Y-Yeah.." Ruby started. "I-It's probably that sh-she hasn't had seen a m-mansion like this one!" I corrected Ruby. "They. I go by they/them." I said calmly. "M-My bad! Sorry.."

"It's fine! You didn't know so.. I forgive you!" I said. "Seeing that you look like you're moving-" I cut CJ off. "Yeah.. My parents kicked me out.." CJ's face turned from cheerful to worried. "Why's that? What happened..?" He asked. "I came out to them as pan but yeah.. That didn't turn out the way I wanted to..!" I said, almost so upset that tears were forming in my eyes. "I just hoped that they would support me..!" CJ hugged me. "It's fine! At least we're not homophobic, I mean I'm literally bisexual and Ruby is pan just like you are so.." He said. I giggled behind my tears. "Thank you..!" I said, stuffing my face in CJ hoodie. "Woah woah woah woah! Calm down!~" He exclaimed, laughing. "S-sorry.." I said. My face turned red from embarrassment. (OwO what's this cring??/lh)

"It's fine but, please.. Ask before you do that-" I cut him off. "I'M STILL ALLOWED TO DO THAT?!" It was silent, then Ruby spoke. "D-Don't you have a -girlfriend CJ? Like.. Vade will get pretty mad if you were h-hanging out with Angel l-like that.." I nodded in agreement. "It seems that'll be just- better?" I said. "I-I mean.. Vade literally al-almost murdered someone because of stuff like th-this." My eyes widened. "M-Murdered?! Did she go to jail?!" I exclaimed in fear. "Well no.. The police couldn't link some things to her, but instead they took someone else to jail because they thought it was that person who did it." CJ stated.

Past CJ's POV:

Probably shouldn't have said that. Now they'll probably think Vade's crazy.. (*Cough* She is./lh) "U-Um.. Yeah.." Angel stuttered. I feel bad.. I thought. "But it's okay! We'll take care of you!" I said.

"Take care of me..?"

"Yep! Welcome to On command!"
