One Faithful Day

Love and loss

Ch12.

Angel's POV

I was relaxing on my sofa playing with my phone. I scrolled down my contacts list and stopped at Alexa's number. I miss her, I used to live in Gloucester, where she is, but I moved in 5th grade. We talked occasionally but never really hung out like we used to. I wonder what she's doing. Maybe I could..... I never finished that thought because there was a knock on my door. I got up and opened it.

"Who are you?" I asked the cute guy standing at my door.

"I brought him." A familiar female voice said behind him. I creased my eye brows, and then a peppy brunette popped her head out from behind him. She looks familiar....

"Who are you?"

"Angel, seriously, you forget your best friend?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Camille?"

"From Gloucester?"

"Hope?"

"No, bitch, it's me, Alexa." My eyes practically jumped out of my head.

"Alexa? Wh- ah- eh- uh. Huh?"

"Wow, your vocabulary is very good. Who's your language teacher, Igore?"

"Yep, it's you. Oh my god you, you changed...... a lot."

"Yeah, you could say that."

"Is, is that a nose ring?" I asked pointing to the little shiny dot on the side of her nose.

"Yep, ya like?"

"Woah-k, who-what- , why are you here?"

"I brought my friend here, Drew, on a blind date... with you."

"You say what now?"

"Don't make me repeat myself."

"Don't make her." The tall, brown haired, green eyed dude, who is obviously called Drew, warned. He gave me a scared look.

"Why, I've know Alexa for 8 years now, and she wouldn't hurt a fly."

"You didn't tell her did you?" He directed that one towards Alexa.

"No... come on let's get inside and Angel, I need to speak with you in private." They walked inside my house, Drew sat on my couch and Alexa dragged me to the kitchen.

"Ok, what do you need to talk to me about that is soooo important?" I asked, this whole not knowing thing getting on my nerves.

"I joined a gang." Once she said those words I thought I heard my jaw drop to the floor.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I. Joined. A. Gang."

"How?"

"Well, I moved to Deptford and then I got a boyfriend in ninth grade. He said he was in a gang. I met the members and they all became my friends. Later me and my boyfriend broke up and he got kicked out. Then when I moved back to Gloucester I left. But now I'm back in and Drew's a gang member, along with 4 others and my self."

"Ok, I can see that. But what I can't see is, WHY YOU SET ME UP WITH A FREAKING GANG MEMBER!"

"I knew you would freak. Listen he might be in a gang but he's nice, sweet, caring, and just a wonderful guy all around."

"Well, why him? Why not another member? You said there were 4 others."

"Yes, but he reminds me more of you. He might be nice and sweet, but you get him angry and he turns into frickin Godzilla."
