The Fallen

Chapter 28

"Jessica's dead." Angel said in disbelief. "Taylor's hurt." Alec hissed clearly thinking that she was more important. Angel whipped around, soaked in rage. "I don't give a fuck about her! She will wake up but Jessica won't!"Angel yelled at the man who cradled Taylor's head. "Jessica's dead! Don't you get that!?" She yelled taking her anger out on Alec. "Jessica is important but we need Taylor." Alec growled. Angel's hand curled into fist before she lunged at the guy, knocking him away from Taylor. The two rolled around trying to get the upperhand, before Angel pushed all her weight on the boy and punching him in the face. Blood dripped from his nose into his mouth as he stared at the girl. "Jessica was my best friend she was more important to me than anyone!" She yelled at him grabbing his collar. She looked at him before slamming his head back down and standing up and walking away from the group. "I'll get her." Brendon said before heading into the direction of Angel. Dallon watched as Brendon left, clearly wanting him not to go.

Brendon followed the angry girl as she continued deeper into the woods. She stopped as she sat by a stream. She stared at the water, something peaceful to calm her down. Brendon inched forward as Angel sighed. "She was too innocent."
"Don't you think I know that." Brendon said jokingly as he walked to her side joining her in looking at the flowing water.

"I always found it fascinating. How we work and think."

"Everyone has their own thing." Brendon said.

"What's yours?" Angel asked. Brendon stared at the water choosing not to answer the question.

"I know it may seem bad now but you can't stop yet."

"Maybe stopping is the right thing to do." Angel said as she brought her knees to her chest, squeezing her eyes shut. Brendon looked over to her and stared at the sad girl. Correction a girl that been through everything and ended up in hell. Her past life and life now have been hell.

"Is this what Jess would think." Brendon said as he looked at her. Angel still didn't say anything.

"Before you go around doing that thing about what the death of you will do. Will it help anyone except getting you out of a rough situation?"

"For a asshole you could be okay sometimes." Angel said with a laugh making Brendon smile.

"Matter who it is."

"Wouldn't mind you being a asshole to Taylor." Brendon laugh nudging Angel shoulder.

"You really don't like her do you?"

"She didn't make a good first impression. She obviously didn't want us to come."

"Well that's true." Brendon said laughing. "Come on let's get back and see the damage." Brendon said standing up. He reached his arm down towards Angel. She grab it as he hoisted her up and they walked back shoulder against shoulder.
