•Angelica's POV•
She felt bad for leaving without saying anything. Maybe with the way she left things, no one would care?
She had soon realised people were worried about her when her phone rang non-stop.
Angelica didn't think the journey would take as long as it did. A month or so ago, Jenny had moved from Nebraska to Illinois - a journey Angelica hadn't made yet.
She arrived at Jenny's around midnight, and explained everything. She was so understanding, and told her it was the right choice. After getting a couple hours' sleep in the guest room, Angie headed home.
Her phone finally stopped ringing after almost an hour. She wanted to pick it up, answer, but with an infant in the backseat, it wasn't safe to be distracted - even for a moment.
Her phone began to ring one last time. She didn't hear it over Jasmine's crying. The sound pained her to hear. Trying to calm her, Angie began to sing:
"Dear Jasmine, what to say to you?
You have my eyes
You have my mother's name
When you came into the world, you cried
and it broke my heart
I'm dedicating every day to you
Domestic life
Was never quite my style
When you smile
You knock me out, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart
I know I wasn't around
I swear that I'll be around
For you
I'll do whatever it takes
And make a million mistakes
But make the world safe and sound for you
You will come of age with this nation
I'll bleed and fight for you
I'll make it right for you
If I lay a strong enough foundation
I'll pass it on to you
I'll give the world to you
And you'll blow us all away
Someday
Someday
Yeah you'll blow us all away."

Cas heard a soft knock on the door of the dorm.
He glanced at the clock next to the bed: 4:01.
Wondering why anyone else was up so early, he slid out of bed - trying not to wake Dean. Pulling a shirt on, he went to open the door. He was surprised to see Peggy, John, Alex, and Eliza stood there.
"Come on Cas, wake up Dean and let's go!"
"Sshh Peggy! Go where? What? You know how angry he gets when he's woken up."
"Yeah I know, but this is more important. Angie's missing!"
"What?! Oh God!" Cas rushed over to Dean's side of the bed, stood next to him and yelled, "Dean!"
Dean sat up and tried to punch something, Cas grabbed his arms and pulled him up. "Dean, come on. Angelica's missing."
He was awake now and began to walk towards the door. Cas called him back.
"Would we need a shotgun?"
"You have a shotgun?"
"Yeah."
"Damn, an angel with a shotgun."
"I'm no angel."
"Oh yeah you are-"
"BOYS! Stop flirting and let's go!" Peggy shouted and led them all to Gabriel's dorm.
----
The group was stood in the car park after searching all around campus.
"Well, her car's not here, which means she's driven somewhere." Hercules stated.
Peggy gripped Gabe's hand tight, providing a small comfort.
"Thanks, let me know if you get anything...okay...bye." Dean hung up the call. "I called Jo and she's gonna get Ash to track her plates, try locate her."
"Locate who?"
A familiar British accent called from behind Dean. He rolled his eyes and sighed before turning to face him.
"Crowley. To what to I owe this displeasure?"
"Now, now Squirrel. No need to be hostile."
"Casse-toi!" Lafayette spat.
"Hello, Frenchie."
"Why are you here?" Dean growled.
"To give you a friendly warning."
"Why? We're not friends!"
Crowley clutched his chest in mock offence.
"Yes, I know that. Just thought I should tell you Thomas knows it was you guys who stopped a potential buyer. He's more than furious, and coming for you."
"Which one of us?"
"Whoever he can get his hands on first."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because... cause I want out. Out of Thomas' drug scheme. And you guys are my best bet."
"Really?! You're coming to us - for help?"
"Yes, now, I've got to go now. I'll find you when I need you." And he walked off.
Attention turned to Eliza as, guilt overpowering fear, she fell to her knees and cried. "This is my fault!"
All her friends sat down beside her on the warm tarmac, Peggy in front of her.
"Hey, look at me. Look at me. Don't go blaming yourself, okay?"
"B-but it was! I-I tried to stay and support her, b-but i couldn't. I just got made and y-yelled at her. I just felt so - so betrayed, but not being there and understanding, I betrayed her."
Peggy pulled her into a tight embrace and gently stroked her hair. "Sshh, hey. It's okay."
Laf moved closer and put his arm round her, Dean did the same, then Cas, and Gabe, then Herc put his arms round all of them.
None of them noticed when a car pulled into the space next to them. Door opened... door closed. "Hey guys... what'cha doing?"
Everyone hurried to greet Angelica - her sisters practically throwing themselves at her.
"Don't you do that again!" Peggy exclaimed, not letting go of Angelica or Eliza.
"Where'd you go?"
Pulling away and stepping towards the back door of her car.
"Well, what Lizzie said before she left really hit me hard: I just left Jasmine. And I realised, I always run from my problems. Not anymore. I'm done running - time to face things."
She opened the door and emerged around a minute later, holding a toddler in her arms. "Peggy, Eliza, meet your niece: Jasmine."
