Chapter 1

Angels POV

It has been a month since Darry was killed. I still can't get that image out of my head. He always said that he would give up his own life for me or Kali. I guess that he held up to what he said. I mean he took the blade for me.

"Angel come inside please it's getting cold."

"I'll be right there Soda."

I sat there for a few more minutes before I went inside. I looked at Soda and he looked tired like he hasn't gotten sleep in months. He has but he stays up half the night worrying that me or him are the next ones to go that or some one else close to us.

"Soda I love you. Why don't you go lay down for a while. I can cook dinner tonight."

"Ok. Just don't burn down the house."

"I wont."

Sodas POV

I went a lied down for a while. But I could rest my brain. All I keep think about is how Angel seems to not realize that life is changing and that Darry is gone.

I mean she probably knows that he's gone but she denying it. I think she trying to stay strong for me.

Which doesn't work when I'm trying to stay strong for her.

I wonder what Angel is cooking for dinner. I thought about all of the good times that Darry , Pony , Angel and I had growing up.

I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up Angel was in bed sleeping. I got up and saw that she cleaned up the dinner mess. I went to the ice box and took out the plate she has made up for me.

She must of seen that I had fallen asleep. I heard Angel crying as I put my dinner in the microwave.

I went into the bed room to see that she was crying and she was sleeping while she did. I tried to wake her up but she didn't want to.

"Angel baby wake up please." I said over and over again

I heard the screen door open wide. There was Charlie standing there and he looked like something had just happened.

"Charlie what's the matter?"

"Tell Angel…"
