One by one people crawled into our house. I panicked. Angel stayed put at the kitchen table, unable to move from the traffic. "Hey," a guy said walking up to Angel and winked. She looked at me for help. "Dude, what the hell, she's fourteen." I said. "So? Age is just a number." he said, his speech was slurred. "Yeah? Well you know jail is just a room. No biggie." I said glaring at him. He backed off. "Angel, come here." I said. She pushed past everyone and came to hug me. It got hot and sweaty in here, and people were making out. I smelt an unfamiliar smell. On our couch, sat four teens smoking Marijuana!!! I closed Angel's eyes and lead her to her room. People were having an intense make out session on her bed. "HEY, GET OUT OF HERE!" I yelled. I startled the couple, and they scurried out. Angel and I got in the room, and we locked the door. I flopped on my bed. "Hey, so why is there an extra bed in your room?" I asked. "Oh...well, we - the, we fostered someone, but...she was insane, so she lives somewhere else." Angel said. "Ah," I said examining my nails. "I'm so sorry, Caelen. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Alyson is hard to deal with. I don't understand why mommy and daddy won't kick her out." Angel said. "Yea, hopefully when school's over." I said. Angel nodded. "How on Earth did they get Marijuana? Ain't it illegal here?" I said. "They got drug dealers at Aldine. Better be careful." Angel said. Pretty soon I heard Kobe's voice over everyone. "What the hell this? Alyson what the fuck were you thinking?" His voice boomed. "Chill Ko, mom and dad both left to Georgia with Ricky and Tyler. We got the house to ourselves." Alyson said laughing. "What the hell!? Angel is fourteen, and Caelen's here, you screwed up. Mom is going to kill you quicker than Uncle Duke can make it to the door! You know he's a big man!" Kobe said. Silence filled the room except for the murmurs of the crowd. I heard footsteps and a door slam. I opened Angel's door and slowly knocked on Kobe's door. "Get the hell away from me!" Kobe shouted. I opened the door and went in, then closed the door behind me.
