Chapter 55 Fallen Angels Broken Wings

Atlanta was one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. Everything around her made her feel small. She was, after all, just a small town girl that achieved so much. She felt the same way when she arrived for her freshman year of college, but now she was just standing there, a lone fish in this vast ocean.

She walked down to baggage claims and took up her bags. Finally, she headed towards the door and noticed someone holding a sign up that said "Angela Scott".

"I'm Angela Scott," she said.

"I have a limo waiting for you," he said.

Angela nodded and followed the driver. He popped the trunk and she put her bags in the trunk. When she was done and the trunk closed, she was shown into the back door of the limo. As they pulled away from the curb, the driver looked back.

"Where would you like to go?" he asked.

Angela told him, then leaned back. She watched the scenes pass by and heard in her mind what was about to happen. Finally, the limo stopped in front of the condo, and she got out. The driver popped the trunk and took out her bags. She brought them in the house and noticed that someone was already there. She dropped her stuff in the entrance way and started to look around.

"Hello!" Angela yelled.

There was some noise and then there was a voice that returned, and it was broke as if crying, "Angela!"

"Yeah, it's me, is that you Ash?" Angela said and started to go to where the voice was coming from.

Angela found Ashlyn sitting on the floor of one of the bedrooms. She was looking at pictures. Angela sat down next to her.

"You're finally here," Ashlyn said.

Angela nodded, "Yeah, there was a stop over that took for ever," she said.

Ashlyn nodded, "I've been sitting here alone, missing Brett," she said.

"You'll be fine," Angela said, "I'm here and I think we should be home in time to see Brett start first grade."

Ashlyn nodded, "Its just not that, its been the first time where I'm living away from her since high school," Ashlyn said, "And I'm missing James."

Angela nodded. "I'm missing Garrett," she said and shrugged.

Ashlyn nodded, and she slipped up to sit on the bed. Angela slipped up to sit next to her again.

"It's going to be good playing with you again," Ashlyn said.

Angela nodded, "Yeah, I couldn't believe they traded for you," she said.

Ashlyn nodded, "I was surprised myself," she sighed, "I guess they really want to keep you around by bringing us back together."

Angela nodded and looked down at her friend's hand.

"How's your knee?" Ashlyn asked.

Angela nodded, "Its good, and holding up," she said.

Ashlyn nodded, "That's good."

"You're telling me," Angela said.

Ashlyn laughed, "So, we're both two guards, so what do you think will happen?"

Angela shrugged, "One of us will be on the point or move to small forward," she said.

Ashlyn nodded, "So I didn't see your car here," she said.

"It was sent to Tree Hill, and Lucas will be bringing it down," she said.

"Luke is coming here?" Ashlyn asked.

Angela nodded, "Yeah, he's bringing my car down," she said and sighed.

"Hopefully he'll bring James and Brett down," she said.

Angela nodded, "I hope so too, I've not seen my goddaughter in a while."

Ashlyn leaned her head on Angela's shoulder, "So, when do I meet this Garrett?" she asked.

Angela shrugged, "Hopefully soon," she said.

Ashlyn nodded, "He's busy?"

Angela nodded, "Yeah."

Ashlyn nodded, "This is going to be weird."

Angela nodded, "You've never been without someone you know living with you," she said.

"No, I haven't," she said.

"We've lived together before," Angela said.

"True, and you usually left the bathroom a mess," Ashlyn said and pushed Angela.

"Hey, you were messy too," Angela said, and pushed Ashlyn back, "Well, you don't have to worry about that now since we both have our own bathrooms."

Ashlyn laughed, "You know, Angela, I missed you."

Angela nodded, "I've missed you too, Ash," she said and they laughed and held each other, before Angela went and got her stuff to head to her room.
