"It's so cold here, how do you live!" Luke complains, apparently regretting wearing only a muscle tee and skinny jeans.

"Here, it should fit you." My sister hands him an extra jacket. "I knew one of you may need it, so I kept it in my carry-on." Luke thanks her and shrugs it on on, zipping it up over his black shirt.

"What's on the back of it?" Calum asks, reaching to lift the hood up. He reveals a logo I've never seen with a name in cursive writing over it. "Looks sick."

"Thanks," Angel says, as she fiddles with her hands. "It's from a youtube channel I like."

We follow Angel along the side of the building, passing several taxis. I start to wonder what we're doing when she stops next to a big blue chevy and opens the door. I hear a squeal and a girl with long blue hair jumps out of the truck and tackles my sister in a hug.

"I missed you so much, oh my god."

"You sure do say 'oh my god' a lot." Calum speaks up. Then who I presume to be Alex, steps back from Angel to look at the three of us. She gasps and runs to me, engulfing me in a hug and nearly causing me to fall in surprise.

"She's a hugger, and also super stoked that I have a brother." Angel explains. I laugh and the girl lets go, running back to the truck.

"Come on guys, we have to get home quick so we can get ready for school! Well, so Angel and I can get ready for school."

"Duh," My sister says, before jumping into the middle seat in the front between Alex and her father. The boys and I jump in the back, squishing together to fit with Luke in the middle.

A short drive later, we arrive at a house a bit bigger then my mums. Alex hops out, followed by my sister and the rest of us. We follow Alex's dad inside but someone gets out of a car in the driveway and follows us, shoving past the boys and I and heading straight for Angel. She grabs her arm and spins her around.

"What are you doing here?" Angel starts to panic, and if looks could kill then that woman would definitely be killing my sister. Without thinking, I hastily walk over to them, removing her arm from the woman's and standing beside my sister.  The woman doesn't spare me a second glance, her eyes are only next to me on Angel as she gets ready to yell no doubt.

"What the hell have you been doing? Where have you been? I haven't heard from you for days and you somehow get Mr. Jameson to lie for you! I actually got a call from the school confirming that Alex had brought you your school work because they hadn't heard from you either. You didn't even text me that is so unlike you, and then I see you coming to Alex's with a bunch of boys? This is unacceptable, you're coming with me. Now." She tries to grab Angels arm again harshly, but I lightly shove Angel behind me to keep her safe. I'm not letting her get taken again, I already assumed this was the woman who took Angel when she was born and apparently I'm right. She looks up to meet my gaze when I shove angel behind me and her eyes widen slightly.

"What- what are you doing with my daughter?" She stutters.

"What you did 18 years ago, only she rightfully belongs with me." I sass.

"You can't just take her, she's my daughter! She loves me, I raised her!" The woman becomes hysteric, I glance behind me to see that Angel is looking at her with sympathetic eyes. Then her eyes narrow a bit.

"You can't just take a child from someone. If you feel bad that I'm going back to the family you stole me from, then just imagine how Anne felt for the last 18 years. They didn't even know if I was alive, you just up and took me minutes after I was born." It was as if Angel was spitting venom at the woman, breaking her resolve with each word from the child she raised.
