Brief Description: Angel and Ivy meet when they are ten years old. As they grow older, their life is full of surprises. Can they cope?





Angel and Ivy continued to grow closer as friends and hang out with Mark and Glenn daily. Ivy grew close to the two of them as well, and they never seemed to mind having the girls around, even if they were a bit younger than them. Eventually, Mark left to go train to be a wrestler, leaving Glenn and the girls behind. Angel and Ivy hung around Glenn almost constantly now. Even if he brought a girlfriend back to the house, they would hang around. The girls Glenn dated were really nice though and seemed to like them, thinking they were "cute" or something.

Things were getting kind of bad for Ivy at home, but she never told anyone about her problems. Since they moved, her dad lost his job and had been having trouble finding work. Her mother had died when she was very young, leaving only Ivy's father to care for her. For some reason, he seemed to think the answer to his problems lay in the bottom of a beer bottle. Anymore, whenever she came home, it was to find him sitting in front of the television, drinking. Sometimes he would be passed out, and things would be okay. It was the times he was really drunk and awake that she dreaded. Those were the times Ivy would not be allowed to go see Angel or Glenn because she had to clean the entire house. Those were the times she would usually end up getting hit for something as trivial as him not being happy with the groceries we had in the house.

It had been a while since Mark left and now Glenn said he was leaving too. Angel and Ivy watched him drive away with his pick-up truck loaded down with his things. They waved until we could no longer see his truck and then cried for awhile. "Our brothers are gone. I'm going to miss having a big brother." Angel said. "Me too." Ivy replied, wiping a tear from her cheek. "We have to promise right now to always be friends, no matter what." Angel said. Ivy looked at her and smiled, nodding. "No matter what." It was then that Ivy's dad, Tim, staggered out onto their front porch and yelled for her. His words were slurred and he almost fell as he leaned against one of the sides of the porch pillars. "Better go home." Ivy said sadly. Angel watched her friend leave and skipped home, thinking about how much fun they could still have.

The girls stayed close, and ended up graduating together. Ivy had applied to a college in Virginia and got accepted. Angel was in her room, helping her pack. "Why the hell did you choose Virginia of all places?" Angel asked. "It's far away from my dad." Ivy said. There were things that Tim had done and made her do over the years that she didn't care to dwell upon. The worst was one night when he had been drunk and had friends at the house. They may have needed money, but Ivy could not fathom any father thinking that money was needed bad enough to subject his daughter to the advances of a grown and drunken man. "I'm going to miss you." Angel said. "I'll call you all the time. Write too." Ivy assured her friend. Angel sighed and nodded.

Ivy had arrived at college and found a small apartment within walking distance of campus. She had to work two part-time jobs to be able to afford tuition and books, but she was making it. She was taking a course in creative writing and majoring in journalism. Everything seemed to be falling into place perfectly. There was even a guy at school that she had developed a crush on. A tall, muscular man named David Bautista. He was shy and sweet, often carrying her books to and from her classes for her. She wrote Angel often, telling her about Dave. Angel hardly ever wrote back anymore, making Ivy wonder why they were growing apart.

Since Ivy left, Angel started to party with some of the local people her age. She developed a fondness for drinking and living life to the fullest. Always vivacious and a bit of a rebel, without anyone to tame this, she let loose. No one was around anymore that would tell her not to do the things she was. Mark was off chasing some crazy dream, Glenn had followed in his footsteps, and Ivy...well she was going to school in some hick state. Angel only wanted to have fun and party, to hell with everyone else and their crazy ideas. She felt that life was too short to be wasted on lunacy or boring things like school. Once in a while she would read a letter from Ivy and write one back just to let Ivy know she still cared and was still alive. The truth of it was though, people around here were just so much more fun!
