Chapter 14:

Calum's POV

"And where do you think you're going?" Michael said. I raised my head and saw that Angel was almost out the door. I shook my head and chuckled to myself. Trying to leave, huh?

"I'm going to Lian's." She said and turned to Michael with a small convincing smile on her face.

"Okay, you have your earpiece with you?" Michael asked.

"Um no, I'm not wearing them. You don't want to hear us talking about periods and cute boys. No." Angel said and shook her head.

Michael rolled his eyes.

"Let her go, Mikey. She'll be fine," Ashton said, nodding his head to him. Michael got the message and sighed.

"Be home by 10"

"12"

"11:30"

"Done," Angel said and walked over to Michael, kissing his cheek in a sisterly way "love you, Mikey."

"Love you too Angel, be safe okay?" Michael said and Angel nodded. She went out the door and we waited ten minutes before we talked.

"Okay, when are you gonna tell her?" Ashton said immediately getting down to business.

Michael shook his head and sighed "I don't know if she's ready."

"You underestimate her too much, she's always been ready. She knows her life isn't normal so no shit would surprise her anymore." I said and walked over to the door "you want me to go follow her?"

"Yes please Calum. I think that Lian girl would know where she is." Michael said and nodded over to me. I try to resist the blush rushing up my cheeks and put on my shoes.

Once I was out in the cold New York air I put on my earphones and start my walk, letting my mind drift.

I remembered all the times I ever encountered Angel. Back in the war, back during the 80s, back when she used to be rocker. I didn't know why I fell in love with her now, when I had so many opportunities the last time.

Maybe it was because she is so innocent now. She didn't have a clue but she was curious, and now that she got herself in neck deep it surprised me how she isn't wiggling her way out.

It surprised me that she was willing to stay, despite all the shit she now knows.

Angel has always been stubborn, and innocent in some ways or another, but I've never seen her this brave and courageous.

I guess that was what pulled me to her.

I stop my thinking once I see I was in Lian's neighborhood. I turn and see a red door. I knock.

"LIAN! OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR!" I hear someone angrily shout from inside.

"OKAY, OKAY!" I was met with the cutest sight ever.

She was in her wool pajamas and some random shirt. I raised an eyebrow at the cute duck print on her pajamas.

"Calum?" She asked and I look up and see that she was blushing.

"I highly doubt Angel's in there." I said to her and her eyes widen.

"She was in the loo" she lied and I gave her a look that said 'really?'

"Where is she?" I ask her and she sighed.

"She went on a date with Harry." She said defeated.

"What?!" I said going on all protect mode "where?!"

"She said they're going ice skating." She said. I nod and immediately turn when I feel her hand stopping me "wait! Let me come with you.."
