Angel had kept his word. Immediately after the tragedy, angel tamed his wild ways, kept up his education and managed a full scholarship to NYU, and got a degree in teaching English.
On the side, he used the money his parents saved for his college fund to invest in some businesses and actually ended up quite successful.
He protected his younger siblings and cousin from things they couldn't handle themselves and mostly from the neglective drunk, Eliza.
One day, she got arrested for beating a cop senseless, added to the charges of neglect.
Angel took care of them all fully after that. It was a huge struggle, but they made it.

"It's so…spacious," Jessica observed, staring at the house in front of her.
Angel came up from behind her, holding a box marked, "Jessica's things".
"Well that's the difference between houses and the cramped, little space that we called an apartment." He handed her the box and pushed her forward towards the front door.
He turned and went to retrieve another box from the moving truck to help out the movers. Angel, Faith, and Jessica were making a move to LA. Earning enough money, Angel decided to relocate somewhere else and LA was the finer choice. Faith tagged along while TJ stayed behind. Jessica had to go since Angel still held custody of her.
When he bent down to pick up a box, his eyes traveled to the house across the street. But it wasn't the house that caught his attention; it was the woman who was checking her mail.
She was beautiful. He slowly straightened up, eyes still focused on the woman, feet frozen in place.
She had short, dark blonde hair and fairly built. She wore a simple black tank top and blue jeans. Her brow was furrowed in concentration as she flipped through the letters. There was something about her that made her just shine despite the daylight.
Obviously she felt Angel watching her, because she suddenly looked straight at him. She smiled brightly at him and waved.
That made Angel's breath catch in his throat.
*Smile you idiot. * He quickly regained his composure and gave her an equally bright smile.
She gave another wave before turning and walking back into the house.
Angel watched her leave for a couple of moments before also turning and going into his new house.
*Yup. Definitely good decision to move here. * He thought.
