A/N: Hey everyone, I know I haven't updated in a while, but I've been so busy. In fact, you're lucky I even got this chapter up. This chapter wasn't in my original story, but I think it's important, so it's kind of typed as I go.

Chapter 7 [i think, i lost count]

Angel woke up early the next morning earlier than usual. None of the boys were up, and she was back in her own bed, though she didn't remember falling asleep. She lay there trying to remember when realization washed over her like an ice cold wave.

Her stomach felt like it had been turned to lead. She pulled the covers up over her head; pretending she wasn't there. She fully intended to spend the rest of the day like that, when Jack came in to wake her up.

"Angel, c'mon we gotta sell." She grunted and rolled over to face away from him. He came and pulled the covers off her face.

"Hey!" She stuck her tongue out at him as she pulled the covers back over her head.

"Fine!" Jack walked over to the door, making it sound like he had left. Then he quietly snuck up to her bed, and jumped right on top of her. "Get up! Get up! Time ta sell!" he shouted as he bounced up in down.

"Ow! God Jack, you weigh a ton! Alright I'm up!" He grinned at her and climbed back off her bed. "Now do ya wanna leave so I can get dressed?"

"Maybe I don't" he smirked. She hit him, so he left, still smirking though, and Mush came in.

"Just makin' sure youse was alright," he said.

"Yeah I'm fine, but is he always like that?"

"Oh, I was talkin' 'bout last night, but yeah; he's always like dat."

"Oh yeah, thanks for listening last night."

"Anytime," she smiled as he did a small bow and left.

Later at the distribution office, Jack caught up to her. "Hey, 'bout last night. I wanna apologize for what Spot said ta ya. He didn't really mean it, he just loses his temper sometimes."

"It was my fault to, I shoudn't have yelled at him."

"No, he desoived [deserved, don't know how to spell it] it."

"It's just, there seemed to be some truth there. I mean, you had no reason to take me in. Why did you, if not because I'm pretty?"

"I can't believe ya even have ta ask dat. I took ya in because you needed help, and because I could tell youse were the kinda person who woulda helped me if I had needed it. Don't ever think the reason we keep ya is 'cause your pretty, not dat youse aren't pretty, but we care about ya. If we let sometin happened ta ya we'd feel guilty for da resta our lives."

Angel couldn't help but grin. "No one's ever said anythin that nice ta me."

"Well den, you've been hangin out wit da wrong people, now if you'll excuse me; I gots papes ta sell."

Angel stood there beaming as she watched him stroll away. "You like him." She jumped as a voice behind her brought her out of her trance.

"I do not!" she said defensively as Mush stood there laughing at. Her checks turned bright red.

"Yes ya do. You should tell 'im, youse two would make such a cute couple." She smacked him a little harder then she'd intended. "Geeze, you been liftin weights or sometin!" This time it was Angel who was laughing.

"C'mon; we got papes ta sell." The rest of the day she couldn't get Jack off her mind. Did she like him? She'd never liked a guy before and, she didn't know what it felt like. There was defiantly something there with Jack, but was it love? She didn't think so, but maybe it was. She'd just have to wait to see what would happen, but what did happen, was completely unexpected.
