Okay, back to the angel!
Previously on My Angel: (A.N. Okay, I just wanted to do that cuz I love when shows do that...:P)
I looked at the front lawn. Someone was simply standing in the middle of it, glaring into space. He scared me a bit. His eye contact moved to me. Luckily for me, I can read expressions. He was... sympathetic. Scared. Was he... scared for me? "Alex? Alex!" Harper said, waving her hand in front of my head. "Yeah?" I said, snapping my head toward her. "C'mon, we have to go. We're gonna be late!" Max said, running behind Justin. I sprinted after them.
"And that guy who's staring at... Alex is-," she trailed off, giving me a weird look. I shrugged. " I don't know what's wrong with him," I said. "Uhh... well anyway, his name is Nate. He's the sensitive one. I heard that for some reason he knows when something will go wrong. It's like an instinct to him," Miley finished. I looked at her. "How can you tell when he sees something wrong?" I asked. "He'll act weird. Wait for it, Alex. I really think that rumor is true. You're going to get hurt somehow," Miley warned. I nodded my head. "I think so, too."
"This is Dr. Ember. There happens to be something that happened to Theresa Russo," Dr. Ember said. I gasped. "What's wrong?" I said, turning to Nate. Nate shook his head sympathetically. The rest of the Greys avoided eye contact with Justin, Max, Dad, and me. "Please, may I speak to... Jerry Russo please?" Dr. Ember asked again. My breathing became uneven. What happened? I looked at everyone again. They were looking at me again. I closed my eyes and nodded. "Okay," I said, handing the phone to dad. "It's Dr. Ember. Something... about mom," I said, as Dad looked at me. He was alarmed. He held the phone to his ear. "Hello?" he asked. Dad listened for a few seconds, and stood up. "What happened?" Dad asked. He looked down, angrily. I was able to catch a glimpse of his eyes. They were sad, depressed. "Oh. Okay," Dad said and hung up the phone. "Kids, we're going to the hospital tomorrow morning," Dad said. I blinked twice. What?
I looked at Nate. His hands were clenched together. I gasped. Something has gone terribly wrong. Now I know why God made the assignments. The situations weren't simple, they change lives. I ran to him, grabbed his hand, and pulled him into my room. "Nate, what happened?" I asked, shutting the door.

(A.N. OMG I absoloutely enjoyed that!!! :D)
Nate was seated on my bed, watching me pace back and forth. I stopped and looked at him. "Well?" I asked, impatiently. Nate slowly closed his eyes and cleared his throat. "Well, while your mom was leaving the meeting..." Nate started. "Was she hit by a car on her drive home?" I asked, worriedly. Nate kept speaking, acting like I never interrupted him. Nate's closed eyes tightened and his eyebrows creased. His hands balled up to fists. "There were these 4 men. They were drunk," he continued. "Raped?" I asked horrified. Once again, he kept going. "They were... ganging up on her.... Their friend- I think- just lost their house to the bank, and they spotted her trying to sell it," Nate finished. His eyes opened. "You know what happens next..." Nate sighed. "Oh my-" I started. Nate cleared his throat. "Wow..." I said, plopping myself next to Nate. "I'm so sorry," Nate said, holding my hands. "What- How hurt is she?" I asked, my voice cracking at the end. "She has some memory-loss, a broken arm and leg, and her ribs are damaged. I believe she was stabbed on her waist, only a small bit- it skimmed her skin as the police pulled the men away. That's why your dad wanted to see her tomorrow, it's too gruesome now," Nate answered. I slapped my hand over my mouth before he can hear my gasps and sobs. I felt tears touch my hand. Nate caressed my cheek, still holding my other hand.
"I'm so sorry," he repeated. "Yeah, so am I," I sighed. I heard a knock on the door, and it opened. "Alex, I'm sorry but Nate and the rest of the family has to leave now," Mrs. Grey said sadly. She was looking at me the same way Nate was. "Oh, okay," I said. I took Nate's hand of my face and held both of his. "I'm sorry," Nate mouthed once more. I nodded, and let go of his hands. He stood up and walked to his mother, who wrapped an arm around him. Mrs. Grey smiled. "I hope to see you again soon, Alex." I smiled sadly. "Me too."

I can't find a reason to wake up in the morning anymore. But I woke up anyway. What a shame...
I got up, got clean, and got dressed. Same as usual. But when I went downstairs, I saw that no one was fully awake or ready for the day. Everyone's hair was a mess, and in pajamas. It was one depressing day, after all. And many more to come. I sat at the table where everyone else was. No one was eating, just looking down. Their expressions were sad and hurt. "Uh... breakfast everyone?" I asked. They all stood up and left the table. I grabbed and bowl of cereal and slowly at breakfast. I imagined seeing mom in the afternoon. I'd imagined that mom was saying that she's alright. But she's not alright. She doesn't look alright. And the doctor's wouldn't agree that she's alright. With my head in my hand, I started to cry. Dad came in, and hugged me. "It's gonna be fine, just give it some time," he said. He'd always say that when something is wrong. But nothing is gonna be fine after this, and I don't wanna wait for so long if it does. The doorbell rang. "I'll get it," I said, already walking to the door. I answered the door to see Nate, with a warm smile. Next to Nate was Harper, holding her books, with a confused face. Her eyes were darting from me to Nate. "Hello, Alex. How are you today?" he asked. "I'm fine, Nate. I don't mean to sound rude, but... what're you doing here?" I asked. "I'm walking you to school," he said. Right, he can tell that I'm lying. "Oh, okay... just let me get my stuff," I said. "Justin, Max! I'm leaving for school now!" I yelled. I didn't feel like getting them. "Okay!" they answered from their rooms upstairs. "Why so early?" Dad asked, walking into the room. He then looked at Nate surprisingly and back to me. "Nice to see that you are helping Nate with getting around the neighborhood. Hello Nate, Harper," he said. They both awkwardly waved 'hi' to him. Dad nodded and walked off to another room. I sighed and walked out of the house, with Nate and Harper following. We were lined up in a row, walking down to the sidewalk. All the other people were looking at us, and down the street behind us. I looked over my shoulder and saw Shane and Jason walking a few blocks behind us. Harper grabbed my arm and tugged me closer to her. "Since when did you start 'hanging out' with Nate?" asked Harper. "I-" I started. Nate grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. "I have news," Nate whispered. "Wha-" I started, but then Harper grabbed my arm again. "I don't get it. Yesterday you were freaked out that he was looking at you. Now you're walking with him to school?" she asked. "Well, I-" I started. Nate pulled me over again. "Alex, your mom-" he started. Harper pulled me over again. "What the-" I started. Nate cleared his throat. "GRASS, guys?!" I finished. "I-" I started again. He cleared his throat again. "SAY, you're gonna pull my arms off!" I finished. "Sorry," they murmered. "Thank you!" I said. "Just a sec, Harper. Let Nate go first," I said, getting closer to Nate as Harper sighed and lagged behind us. "Okay, so what's up?" I asked. "Okay, your mom is going to be okay, but you've got to wait. When you see her, be gentle. Don't be loud, don't remind her of the accident, and don't blame yourself for anything. I'm coming with you," he said. "Oh okay. Why are you coming?" I asked. "My family and I are here to help," he replied, smiling. I smiled. "Thanks."
Sorry I hadn't updated in a while! I really missed it. Unfortunately, I have writer's block. It's like the shortest chapter I've ever written... ever! Please feel free to help me out! If you're wondering why Alex said 'Grass' and 'Say', Nate cleared his throat to stop Alex from swearing... :P Anywayz, this chapter may seem worthless but you'll see why I added it later...
