Anastasia (EDITING)

A Time to Grieve

Angel woke up the next morning sitting up on the edge of the bed. She moved her neck from side to side cracking it as she stretched her arms off. What happened last night? Angel asked herself as she stood up from the bed. Angel can remember drinking a bit, and coming back to the room but nothing beyond that. She walked over to her iPhone looking at it.

It was dead. She plugged her phone up to charge as she started to take off her shirt. Then she heard a certain groaning coming from the bed. Angel turned around to see it was Evonna waking up. She was still wearing her red formal dress from last night when they had had dinner with Mr. Fitzgerald. Evonna sits up on the bed slowly rubbing her head.

"We didn't?"

Angel asked eyes wide.

"No, I hope not."

Evonna says holding the bed sheets to her chest.

Angel's phone booted on as the notifications of text messages, voice mails, and emails. She opens up the text messages from Ana first seeing as she had sent over five. 'I just wanted to text you and tell you I missed you. Call me.' Angel scrolled down the other text messages, and saw by the contents of the capitalized letters that Ana had been very upset and worried. This was about to be a very bad week for Angel as she foresaw it now.

"Uh, honey..."

Angel said softly through the phone.

"Don't honey me, Angel. I called you all last night. I texted you all last night. I even left your ass voice mails. Now you are calling me and telling me your phone died. What the hell!? Your phone never dies. What in the hell did you do last night?"

Ana whispers sounding irritated.

"I had went to take care of business with Mr. Fitzgerald. My business partner here in Seattle. I don't know why, but he insisted on me and Evonna having dinner. Then a club. It lasted longer than I thought. I didn't even know my phone died,"

Angel explains as she sits down in a chair.

"Did you drink last night?"

Ana asks slowly starting to calm down.

"Yes,"

"Did you get drunk?"

"You've got to trust in me, Ana. I know you're mad, but nothing happened bad. No fighting. No arguments. Nothing bad, I just had a bit of fun."

Angel states sighing as she clears her throat.

"I am mad... but I'm also worried."

Ana added sighing softly.

"I'm alright baby. I won't be in Seattle for too much longer. I promise. I just need to fix the money issues, then after that you and me."

Angel said as she turned around to see Evonna had left.

"I'll be glad when you do get home baby. Can you just stay on the phone with me for a moment?"

Ana tries sounding a bit more reluctant that Angel was on the phone.

"Yeah sure baby.. What have you been doing since I've been gone?"

Angel asks trying to make some light conversation.

"Well, first and foremost I've been doing a lot of research on babies, pregnancies, diseases, cribs, baby carriages, baby formula, houses, just a lot of stuff... I am so overwhelmed,"

Ana states sighing a bit.

"Ana, we don't have to keep it. We can abort it while we still have time."
