Chapter two

Kim walked off the stage, and went into the back room of the Cafe. She stood with her arms wrapped around herself, and her head bowed. Angel swiftly and silently followed her, and was now hidden behind a wall, watching her. All of a sudden, Kim stood with her arms at her sides and a strange look on her face, she kicked over a garbage can with so much force, that the lid came off and garbage was all over the floor. She was breathing heavily, as if she was trying to catch her breath. Angel looked on with wonder. Jake came into the room practically running, a look of concern on his rugged face.

"Hey Kim are you alright?" His voice sounded as if he was talking to a scared animal. All of a sudden, she seemed to get panicked.

"Yeah um I'm fine, I'm s sorry, I'll clean it up." Her voice sounded full of tears. Jake put his hand on her shoulder to stop her, and put his other hand under her chin, gently lifting her ivory face to look at him. He looked into her dark eyes, and said in a comforting voice

"Hey it's fine, I'll clean it up."

She looked at him and her eyes were full of tears, she pulled back and turned her back to him so he wouldn't see her cry, and she said

"O ok I I'm fine, I'm just gonna go." And with that, she dashed through the dark hallway and slammed the bathroom door. Jake looked at the hallway for a second, turned, knelt down, and began picking up the garbage. While his back was turned, Angel flew past that part of the room and down the hallway.

He stood near the bathroom door, Kim was in and listened.

Kim was sitting on top of the closed toilet seat, her elbows resting on her thighs and her head in her hands, she was crying. Finally after a few minutes she stood and looked into the mirror. Her long black hair was pushed behind her ears, and her big dark eyes were puffy and red from crying. She sighed and turned on the water in the sink and splashed water on her face. She dried her face with a paper towel, and grabbed her bag. The black bag, Kim always carried around with her, she would carry her make- up, hair stuff, and whatever else she thought she would need. She took out her make-up and began re- applying it, with skill. Once she was done, her eyes were smokey (smokey eye look, lol) and her skin looked brighter. Then she took out her hair brush, and began to run it through her straight, silky hair. She pulled it back into a half up half down style, and put the brush away. She looked into the mirror one more time, and smoothed her white peasant top out. Her tight jeans, she thought looked perfect with the shirt, not to mention her shoes. With a sigh she turned around and grabbed her bag, but as she did, she dropped it and doubled over in pain "Ah" was all she could say as she wrapped her arms around her stomach. Angel heard the commotion, and without hesitation knocked on the run down door.

"Hello? Are you alright in there?" He said as he pounded on the door.

Kim took notice of the pounding, but she couldn't move, let alone reply. She fell to her knees on the floor and bent foward. Which caused her more pain. Not hearing her say anything, Angel (with ease might I add) kicked in the door. For a second he stood thereand took in the scene, the girls bag was lying on the floor, and she was on her knees and her arms wrapped around herself. Quickly, he kneeled down next to her and said "Are you okay? What happened?" Kim tried to reply, but her voice wouldn't work. Angel growning concerned said

"Here, let me help you stand up."

Kim nodded, and Angel helped her stand. As she stood, she screamed out in pain. Angel held her steady, and in a few minutes, the pain subsided, and Kim was breathing heavily. Kim was staring into space, as if she wasn't there. Angel looked at her concerned. Her arms were still wrapped around her stomach. Angel beame curious about what caused her pain, and breaking the silence said

"What happened?"

Kim snapped out of her daze and began to speak .

"Um I I..."

Angel interupted her stuttering, and said

"Was it your stomach?"

Kim looked at him suspiciously for a moment with un-trusting eyes, then her eyes sofened, deciding he wasn't going to try and kill her, but help her, she nodded.

"Let me see." Angel moved her arms from around her, and gently lifted up her shirt, revealing her stomach.

He was a bit taken aback by what he saw.
