Craig didn't want to answer the question this Rachael girl had just asked him. Why can't my father take me? He thought. Because he hates me. Craig knew his father didn't actually hate him. He just had problems. And hey- don't we all. The answer she was looking for was why did he leave his father and come to live with Joey. And the truth was because his father hit him. He should tell her. They could empathize.
"Umm... It's really hard for me to talk about. My father hit me for the past year. He's had problems coping with my mother leaving him for Joey, and then dying. I don't like to talk about it a lot."

What did this Craig guy just say? Rae thought. Why does he think just because he was abused, he's had it the worst. Well he hasn't. God the nerve of some people. Like he'd even understand what I'VE gone through. No he wouldn't ever.
"Boohoo. Poor baby." She said sarcastically. "Who do you think you are? You think the world resolves around you. 'Umm.. It's really hard for me to talk about.'" She mocked him cruelly. Craig had never seen a girl be so mean before in his life. And go from......so beautiful, mystical, to such a scolding bitch. She was chiding him like he was a baby. This was such a sensitive subject for him, and it took a lot out of him to tell her. He wished he hadn't.
Craig's face turned red with anger. "You little bitch! You have no right to go saying stuff to me like that. I wonder what you did to get here. Probably robbed the bank or something, considering the kind you are. Once you start you just can't stop, right? You think hurting others will make you feel better, well fuck you! Just leave me the heck alone and never talk to me again! Got it straight? Good!" He ran out of the room in a raging fit of anger, and slammed his new bedroom door shut as hard as he could. He was so angry, this girl did not know where she stood. And it was up to him to show her!

Mean while Rae Areostall sat in amazement in the living room trying not to show a tint of emotion. Most likely she thought it would be anger or fear, because those were the only ones she'd ever shown. No one ever mad her sad. No, that would mean they got to her... they touched in the most sensible of places. And for the second time in her life Rae cried. The only other time , was when her mother was taken to prison. How could this creep make her cry? It was mostly the fact of what she had done. She had been known to do it. Get people in the spots that would hurt her most. But obviously this guy, Craig knew how to play the game because it came right back at her. She ran to the bedroom she shared with Angie and cried, and didn't stop all night long. Oh no! She thought. Tomorrow she would have to go to school at Degrassi Community school, where Craig goes. And she would have to take the music that came along with cursing Craig out- she considered that to be a lot.
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent revelrie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent revelrie
In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort he
