Hey! Sorry I haven't updated in a while I have been super busy lately. This chapter is going to be mostly about family. I hope you guys enjoy it! I'm going to put a few quotes from the TV show The Lying Game in the chapter.

I own nothing. Everything belongs to Cassandra Clare and Sara Shepard.

Angela's POV.

I stare at the woman at my front door in shock. My mother who left my dad and I when I was three is standing in front me wanting to talk. I walk away from the front door and go to my father who is still at the bottom of the stairs. My mother walks into the house and shuts the door behind her. There is serious tension in the air and everyone can feel it.

"Well I guess we better go." Alec says after a moment.

My friends get off the couch and head towards the front door. I walk to the front door to say good bye to them all. I get a hug from Izzy and Maia. They both whisper for me to be careful around my mother and not to trust her. Jace gives me a hug which surprises me and also tells me to be careful. Alec gives me a kiss and whispers that he'll call me later. As they are walking away I yell "I'll come over and talk to you guys later."

Alec turns around and says "Ok. See you later."

"I love you." I yell to him.

"I love you too." he yells back.

"I love you!" I yell again and louder this time. I want to show him and his siblings that I'm crazy about him.

Alec chuckles and walks to the house where he and his siblings are staying in. I walk back inside and shut the door behind me. I turn around and face my dad and mother. I walk over to the couch and sit down on the side closest to the kitchen. My dad sits beside me and my mother sits on the other side of the couch. We sit like that for a few minutes then my mother goes over to the kitchen and pulls a chair from the dinner table in front of us.

"I really don't want to have this conversation." I say looking at the pillow that is on my lap.

"Ok, I'll talk and you listen. I know you know that I left you. I think you know why I came back: your dad and you. Look I see that you both are shocked to see me here and I know that I have a lot of explaining to do, but I want you both to know that I will do anything to gain your trust." my mother says.

I look at the front door and wonder if I should just get up and leave.

"Angela please will you just look at me?" asks my mother.

I look at her and see tears in her eyes. I don't know if she's crying because I won't talk to her or she crying because she's she knows I'm pissed with her abandoning me and then coming back and asking for my forgiveness.

"I told you I don't care." I say looking at the pillow on my lap.

"But you need to know how much I love you. How I've always loved you. I never should have left you fourteen years ago. I wanted to stay but I wasn't ready to be a parent. I needed to figure out what I wanted in my life. I wanted you be a part of my life. You have to believe me." my mother says.

I glare at her and say "You know I want to believe you so much, but you walking out of my life made me who I am. You did nothing but tear our family apart."

"I didn't handle the situation right." she says.

I get up and walk towards the front while saying "Yeah you sure as hell didn't."

My mother gets up from her chair and walks towards me and says "Angela."

I turn around and say "No you know what I have to ask you something. I've been wanting to ask it ever since you walked into the house."

My mom smiles and says "Ok."

"Did you even look at me before you walked out that door and out of my life forever?" I ask.

"Yes I did. I snuck into your room when you were asleep. You didn't wake up when I came in. You looked so peaceful and innocent. You were so quiet and so full of love. Then I hugged you and kissed you." she says with a smile.

"Then you got your bags and walked out the front door and out of my life." I say.

My mother frowns and says "Yeah I walked out of your life."

A tear escapes my eye and I quickly wipe it away while my mother says "Angela, I wasn't capable enough to care for you."

After she says this I get seriously pissed and say "Oh but you all of a sudden you care now?"

"I have cared about you every day since I left. This has been a horrible struggle for me." she says

"A struggle?" I ask.

"Yes." she says.

At this point I'm beyond pissed and say "You want to know a struggle mom? Try growing up without a mother. Try not knowing where the other half of you comes from and you feel like you don't belong anyway. You know I don't even know what a mothers love is even like but I will once I get to New York and stay with Alec's family."

My mother starts to walk towards me and says "I'm so sorry baby."

I walk away from her and say "You know what no."

As I walk towards the front door and open it, my mother yells "I'm so sorry!"

I walk out the front door and say "I am too."

After I walk outside I close the door behind me and walk towards the house Alec told me that his family and friends were staying in. I have no idea what I should even say to Alec about the moving to New York and starting a new life together situation. I just told my mother that I was moving to New York and I was going to stay with Alec's family. I haven't talked about it with my dad yet so I'll talk to him about that later. I walk up to the front door and knock on it. A moment later Isabelle opens the door and invites me in. I walk into the living room to see everyone on edge because I had only been talking to my mom for like five minutes.

I turn to Isabelle and ask "Can we talk outside?"

She nods and leads me to the kitchen where the patio door is. She opens the door and lets me go out first. I onto the patio and wait for Isabelle to come out and shut the door. I hear the door close and turn around to face Isabelle. She walks in front of me and says "What happened?"

I tell her everything that happened with my mom after they left. After I finish telling her what happened, I say "I don't know if I should have hugged her or slapped her."

Isabelle who had been pacing throughout my whole story stopped and faced me. She asked curiously "You didn't actually believe her did you?"

I shrug and say "I don't know."

Angela! You cannot go all soft like this." exclaims Isabelle.

"She's my mother. I want to believe that at one point she actually did love me." I say.

"Believe me I would feel the same way you're feeling if my mom left me when I was young." say Isabelle.

"You know what all this has taught me? It's taught me to be strong and to stand up for myself." I say with a smile.

I step towards Izzy and pull her into a hug. She smiles and returns the hug. At this point I feel like she is my sister. I feel like I'm already apart of Alec's family. I release her from the hug and sigh.

I open my mouth to say something but we hear something crash from inside the house. Isabelle and I look at each other and decide to investigate. We enter the house and shut the door behind us. We enter the living room and see Magnus on the ground, Jace standing over him with a frying pan in his hands and Alec staring at Magnus in shock.

"What the hell is going on?" I ask.

"Magnus tried to put a spell on Alec. I think I stopped him." Jace says.

I walk over to Alec and look into his eyes to see if anything has changed. I know Magnus would have put a spell on him to make sure he forgot about me.

"Alec do you know who I am?" I ask carefully.

And that's where I'm going to leave you for now. I know I'm mean for leaving you on such a suspenseful cliffhanger. I'm going to try and write as much as I can whenever I have free time. If you have any more ideas PM me or tell me in reviews.

Review please!
