Waking up in the motel room that Angel had rented was disorienting. Sitting up and glancing around, I almost panic when I notice that he's not in the room with me.

"Angel? Dad? Are you here?"

Getting no response, I get up out of bed and explore the room to see if I can find a note of any sort lying around. When I find nothing, the panic starts to set in again.

I spin around when the bathroom door opens.

Angel smiles. "Relax. You're safe here."

I sigh and sit on the bed. "I don't feel safe right now."

"Is it because of what happened last night?"

I nod. "Yeah. It dug up a bunch of memories that I would have rathered they'd stayed buried."

"You were screaming at some point during the night. I don't know if you remember me waking you up."

"Not at all," I respond, shaking my head. "Can you help me, Angel? Help me decide if- if-"

"If you made a bad judgment?"

I fall back and stare at the ceiling. "Yeah."

Angel sits on the bed beside me. "What do you think?"

"I still feel at home with them. The slaughter threw me so badly, but the more I think about it, I still feel a connection to them and to David."

"I feel like there's more to that."

Sitting up, I bring my knees up to my chest and wrap my arms around them. "I feel like I rushed my decision. I didn't think about my family, about Sammy and Nanook and Mom and even Michael. I didn't think about the fact that I may not be able to see them again. The fact that Sammy and Mom will grow old and die, but Mike and I won't. And it hurts to think about."

"So your decision lies between David, the Lost Boys, and immortality, and your family and mortality."

I look over at him. "What do you think I should pick?"

"Whatever you won't regret in 10, 20, even 30 years down the road."

I nod, thinking through everything in my head. "I don't know. My mind is telling me one thing, but my heart is insisting on the other."

"Sometimes choosing what is truly right breaks your heart."

Standing up, I slip my shoes on.

"That helped a lot actually. Thank you, Dad."

I hug Angel and he holds me tightly.

"Whatever you've decided, just know that I will always be on your side."
