A/N: I'm very very very very sorry for not updating! My muse for this story ran away again, it seems to like to do that... anyway, thank you SO much to all my reviewers, I'm glad you enjoy the fruits of my labour. Here's the next chapter of AngelaJordan angst/fluff.

Reviews always welcome.

Chapter 5

Kaelan sat on her cloud begrudgingly, arms crossed over her chest. She was not happy. She'd been told she had to wait three more miserable days before she would be allowed to cross over. What the bloody blue hell had she done to deserve this? Three more days of 'I don't know if I believe you, Jordan?' She couldn't take it anymore!

Appearing beside Jordan as he drove through the street, he stopped the car in surprise.

"I want you to know…" she hissed, "that I'm sitting here against my will."

"Huh?"

"I don't wanna be sitting here!" she hissed. "But I don't have a choice."

"Sure you do."

"No I don't," Kalean answered again. "Apparently you and Angela don't trust each other, so I have to stay here and make sure you do."

"What are you talking about?" Jordan narrowed his eyes.

"Oh you know damn well what I'm talking about, Jordan Catalano." Kaelan growled at him. "Do you trust Angela?"

"Of course I trust her."

Then why can't I cross over? She thought to herself.

Kaelan reappeared on the end of Angela's bed a few minutes later. She had just settled down to give Kelly a bottle. She jumped at Kaelan's sudden reappearance.

"What are you doing in here?"

"Why don't you trust Jordan?"

"What?" Angela shook her head, holding the bottle steady. "I trust Jordan."

"Don't lie," Kaelan had always been able to tell when someone was lying. "You don't trust Jordan… why?"

"I…" Angela stuttered. "I don't know, I…" she readjusted herself so Kelly could reach the bottle. "I guess I'm always scared he's going to walk out on Kelly and me."

Kaelan rolled her eyes. "He is in love with you." She insisted. "I can't stress that to you enough, Jordan Catalano loves you." Kaelan moved closer and sat beside Angela. "Jordan Catalano loves both of you…" She nodded toward the baby still feeding. "He wouldn't leave you."

Angela still looked unsure.

"I don't know…"

"Well how about this then? You have three days to figure it out!"

And with that, Kaelan disappeared again, leaving Angela stunned and confused.

"That was not the way to go about it," her mentor chided. "You know better than that Kaelan."

"Well what was I supposed to do?" she asked. "They're driving me crazy!"

"People do strange things…"

"Strange things that drive me to the brink of insanity!" she shouted. "Why did you stick me with them?"

"Because you're the only one young enough to understand what they're feeling,"

"Me?" she questioned. "I was barely 16, and I was never pregnant, my best friend never slept with my boyfriend… I didn't even have a boyfriend, but that's beside the point. How can I understand what they're feeling?"

"Because you are their age."

"That's complete bullshit!" Kaelan shouted, unable to control herself. "I am not their babysitter! They are parents to a beautiful little girl, and I've done nothing but get in their way."

"They still need you."

"MY ASS THEY STILL NEED ME!" Kaelan shouted, now losing complete control. "If they did they would've come to me a long time ago!" There were tears in her eyes. "Don't you see? I can't do anything for them. Please, I'm sick and I'm tired. I just want to be in peace…"

Her mentor looked back at the shaking girl. She had done all she could, and now she was left with nothing. Looking to Angela, through Kaelan's eyes, a baby was burped and placed back into a crib. Looking to Jordan, who once again wrapped himself in a blanket in the back seat of his car, falling asleep.

"Can you handle staying one more night?"

Kaelan shook her head.

"Just so you can make sure Jordan is safe."

"Jordan knows how to take care of himself," she countered.

"What about Angela?"

"She has her parents."

"What about your mother?"

Kaelan stopped. "What about her?"

"Does she know this is what's happened to you?"

Kaelan breathed in a hard breath and swallowed the air. It hurt going down.

"No, and she wouldn't care. All she cares about is scoring junk off her dealer and smoking it at home with my alcoholic fuck of a father, if he could even be called that…"

"So you don't wish to see her again?"

Kaelan shook her head.

Finally, her mentor caved in. He nodded his head, and she could finally cross over. Like that of a small child, she took her mentor's hand, and they walked along the clouds through the gates Kalean had never known to exist until this very moment.
