Chapter 5

Angel's POV

I was so happy that I got to go home. I went home and Darry had Ashley's bed made and everything.

"Thank you Darry." I said putting Ashley in her bed.

"No problem anything for you." He said

The guys went over to Two-bit house to see Charlie and Kali because they came back last night to see me and the baby.

As I was walking out of the room there was a knock on the door. I went to get the door as Ashley started to cry. Darry got up to get her.

"Yes I'm looking for a Angelina Curtis." The lady said "I'm Rose Peterson and I'm from the state."

"I'm Angelina and how may I help you and why did the state send you?" I asked as Darry handed me Ashley.

"Yes I was sent here today to take a Ashley Marie Curtis because you are to young and you don't have enough money to raise her."

"Wait a minute here I'm eighteen and I have a part time job and I know how to take care of little kids. I grow up in this house and it has been this bad since I was about her age." I started to yell

"I'm sorry miss but I have to take her till you can prove to me that you can handle things." She said taking Ashley from me.

Darry's POV

I sat there and looked at Angel and how she was trying to get Ashley to stay with her.

"Please Mrs. Peterson let Angel have the baby I can help her with what she needs."

"I'm sorry sir but I can't let the baby stay here."

"My sister wont be able to live with out that child. She has lost her mom, dad and one of her brothers she cant loose anyone else it would kill her. The dad of the baby is off at war."

"Well sir I guess she can stay for a little while but the next time I come to visit and if nothing has changed I will have to take her."
