Surprise Guest Chapter 3

Jamie and Collins finally reached their destination. They walked up the steps leading to Angel's and Collin's apartment. Collin's pulled out a key and opened the wooden door. "Our place is a lot smaller than the one you were just at," he explained as the door opened.

"No problem, just as long as you have enough room for one more tonight," Jamie answered cheerily. She had forgotten all about Roger and Mimi. The apartment was nice. It wasn't as dull as the other. It had a few decorations and such. The walls were painted (though it was chipping off) and the power was on. "This is nice, Collins. Is Angel home?"

"No, not yet. He gets back at 7:00," It was now 6:25 so there was some time before she got back.

"Uh, I have a little question?" Jamie said as she dropped her bag on the blue couch.

"Hmm?"

"What should I refer to Angel as?" he looked at her and a big smile crossed his face like he was trying to hold back laughter. Suddenly she got nervous. "I mean, I don't want to insult her! Him! Her- no wait! Hi-"

"Calm down! It doesn't matter she doesn't care. He'll be able to tell if your talking about him or not!" he replied as he hung his coat on a hook by the door. "Are you hungry?" he walked to the fridge and surveyed it's contents.

"No, I'm good for the night,"

"Well, I'm starving," he pulled out so old Chinese food and sat down at the small table.

"I really hope I'm not intruding or anything," Jamie said from the couch.

"You sure have got a lot of manners for a runaway foster kid," he said between bites. They laughed at that and continued talking when a knock was heard at the door. Collins got up to get the door saying, "Angel must've forgotten her key or something," He opened the door and it was Roger. Oh.

"Hey, is the girl here?" Roger asked.

"Yeah she's-" Collins was interrupted.

"Right here!" she said and came over to the open door.

"Oh, uh, sorry. I shouldn't have just left you when Mimi and Mark were out," he looked at her and apologized.

"It's fine. I'm sorry too. I didn't know she'd freak out like that. It's not like I need a babysitter!" Jamie did the same.

"Exactly what I said. Maybe having a kid around isn't that bad," he smiled.

"Oh, come on. I'm not that much younger than you guys are. Do you have to refer to me as a 'kid'?" she was starting to get annoyed by that.

They chuckled quietly and finally agreed to consider her as more of an adult. She was officially a teenager now anyway. Roger left to go tell Mimi that Jamie was with Collins and minutes after he left, Angel walked through the door.

The rest of the day was rather uneventful. When Angel returned, she insisted on making something for Jamie. She left to her room and 30 minutes later returned carrying a denim skirt with stitched on plastic flowers. It was so cute! Her old foster parents wouldn't let her wear anything like that. She thanked them and they all went to bed.

The next day, they all met at the Life Café and the rest of the day went smoothly. Jamie looked around at all her friends at the large table at the café and felt that, this time, she really had a family.
