Will You Still Love Me? (MAHTW Sequel)

Chapter 23: Reunited

23:

"Oh my god." Avery said in shock as we looked out to see Angel. She was wrapped in Alan's arms, both crying at having obviously just reunited.

I couldn't help but feel a little irked that she had acted again without telling me and now she was too wrapped up in Alan to even talk to us. Without much hello, she asked us all for some privacy while she and Alan talked so we left.

We headed back to the hotel and let them have their time, everyone was silent though and unwilling to express their feelings on this subject.

We all said goodbye to each other in the lobby and went our separate ways to our rooms. As we stepped off the elevator onto our floor I looked up at Austin and realized something wasn't right about him.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly. Stopping and making him as well because our hands were intertwined together. He looked at the floor as he thought and tried to get his words right.

"Lets get to our room first." He said, walking forward and pulling me with him. I sat down on the bed and watched as he paced the floor for a moment before sitting next to me with a sigh. I put my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arms around his bicep, waiting for him to go on. "You know I love Angel like a sister right?" He asked, I nodded. "Well I love her to death but I'm not sure if I like her and Alan being together again after what she did to him. He's probably back together with her again and has forgotten everything already but I haven't. She hasn't spent the last month watching her best friend die a little bit inside from the love of his life leaving him without much goodbye or reason."

"I know. What happened sucks but at least she came to her senses and came back." I replied softly.

"I don't know if I can continue to watch her do this to him, what if she leaves again?" He asked.

"I'm pretty sure after all this he'll just lock her away in their room forever when you all get home." I chuckled. He sighed again, visibly troubled as he dropped his head into his hands.

I wriggled up the bed up to the pillows and pulled him with me so he could lay down and I could cuddle into his chest.

He picked up his phone and started looking through social media so I turned on the TV and after a while went and got ready for bed. When I got back I saw him still on his phone and stood in the doorway with my arms crossed and lips pursed, trying to figure out how I could get it away from him.

I walked over to his side of the bed and grabbed his chin, kissing him forcefully as I climbed on top and straddled his waist, meanwhile taking the phone out of his hand and locking it and tossing it to the night stand. He gasped in shock but almost instantly started kissing me back, bracing one hand on my lower back and putting the other in my hair. I pulled away from his lips but kept my forehead against his, staring coyly into his eyes.

"Would you rather be playing with that stupid phone or me?" I asked flirtatiously. He broke into a grin,

"Hmm that's definitely an easy decision." He murmured, sliding his hand up my side and making me shiver.

Austin and I were laying under the covers and cuddling and watching TV when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Hm, wonder who that could be." I said sarcastically. He got up and put on some pants then opened the door and just what I though, Angel was there with Alan not too far behind. Austin came back to sit on the bed and I pulled the covers up to my neck, choosing to stay cuddled up with my pillow.

Angel sighed, looking thoughtful as she got her thoughts in order, swaying nervously in the middle of the room, Alan hovering behind her near the door.

"Look, I'm sorry for leaving without really saying goodbye. I left you all with a lot of questions and I'm here to make up for that now," she began. "I came back because I was miserable too. I was depressed everyday without you guys and at the time I thought leaving would protect you from my past and getting hurt but I just can't bear living without Alan in my life and without you guys too." She said, looking at Austin and I.

"What exactly made you come back if you've been feeling this way for a month?" Austin asked, feeling out her story for holes.

"I'll be honest." She sighed. "When I heard about Avery going on a date with Alan and all the fans hitting on him I got jealous." She muttered, I had to hold in my laugh, knowing her that had to be the reason, typical Angel. Alan chuckled, walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist, burying his face in the back of her neck. "So I flew home as fast as I could because I'm in love with you and I don't want anyone else to be with you besides me, and just prayed you would still want me back." She whispered to Alan, kissing his cheek. I smiled seeing them both happy again. He murmured something in her ear that we couldn't quite hear but then she turned around and kissed him on the lips, him keeping his arms tightly wrapped around her. When they had finally pulled away she turned back to us. "And I hope you guys accept me back too." She said hopefully.

We both were quiet for a moment. I wanted to give her a big hug and take her back but there was still so much to be explained between her and I. I had known why she left. I wasn't happy about it but I already knew and I could have guessed at why she came back. What I needed to know was how involved in what's been happening to us the last few months she was and if she didn't do anything how much she knew.

"Can I talk to you alone?" I asked suddenly. She nodded. Austin took Alan out in the hallway so I wouldn't have to get up and get dressed in front of everyone and she sat in a chair across the room from me while I stayed under the covers.

"I need to know how involved you were in everything." I said.

"I haven't done anything." She said, holding her hands up in defense. "I just came back because I love you guys and needed you, why would I try to hurt you?"

"You came back because you were jealous, you said it yourself." I pointed out.

"Yes that was my tipping point and I'm not proud of it but he's not the only one that's important to me here. You all became my family after you helped me get away from Michael and if I learned anything from my past its that you don't fuck around with family. I was taught to protect family at any cost which I thought I was doing but I was wrong. It won't matter where I am if they're determined enough to hurt me and my friends so I might as well not make us all miserable and a target at the same time." She said.

"You may not have been behind everything but you have to know something. You grew up in this, you have connections, you have to know something, we have to make this stop." I said.

"I wish I could tell you what you want to know. I wish I could answer all your questions, but I can't. I was in witness protection after my parents were killed and I've been cut off from everyone I used to know. I have no connections anymore." She said in an eerily serious mood. "But you can bet your ass that if I can end this I'll figure out how." She said, determination sparking in eyes.
