Chapter 3 - Angel

Angel Sommerwood was laying around on her Uncle's couch, cuddled up next to her boyfriend that she had been dating for 2 months. Her uncle was at a local nightclub and told her he would be out for the rest of the night. He was always out partying,even though he was supposed to be Angel's legal guardian.

Angel and her boyfriend Harley were binge watching Comedy and Romance movies on Netflix. They were wrapped up in a big dark red blanket. Angel was almost sitting on top of Harley's lap,laying her head back on his shoulder,with his arm around her. They came to the part of a romantic movie where the boy and the girl lock eyes for the first time and kiss each other. Harley looked down at Angel and she could sense his stare. " We've already kissed a lot tonight." She replied to him giggling and purposefully not looking up to him,knowing what he wanted.

"So? It's not like we're gonna be doing anything else." He replied in a sarcastic way.

"We've only been together 2 months." She replied.

Harley kissed the top of her head. He was a chubby,taller,tough kind of guy and didn't show much affection,unless he wanted something . "A lot of people have one night stands. They're fun. Sex is something that's perfectly natural.Trust me,i wouldn't steer you wrong."

Angel looked up to him in his hazel eyes. "That's not what I've been taught."

Harley gave her a confused look. "What do you me-"

Angel's phone cut them off. "Hello?"

Harley rolled his eyes and rolled his fingers through his dark brown hair in an irritated way. "You know what? I'm going home."

Harley started to get up when Angel grabbed his arm and gently pulled him back down. 'Wait' she mouthed to him.

"This is Park Jae-Ho with the Seoul,Korea Police Department. Is this Angelica May Sommerwood?" asked the man on the other side of the phone.

"Yes" ,she hesitantly answered in a worried tone.

"I'm sorry to inform you,but your mother, Katherine Anne Sommerwood, is dead."

Tears rolled up in Angel's eyes. "What?"

"You have my condolences."

Tears streamed down Angels eyes and she started lightly gasping. Harley looked at her with worry,not understanding what was going on. He grabbed the phone from her hand." Hello? Who is this?" Harley asked.

Angel sat there in shock with her hand still in the position of holding the phone. 'This isn't happening.' She thought to herself. 'This is a stupid joke. This is a mistake. This isn't real.'

"What?....Yes....Yes, thank you. I'll let her know." Harley hung up the phones and stared down at Angel,who had her mouth open and tears falling from her baby blue eyes.

"Angel. Come here." He pulled her closer to him and she put her head on his chest and cried.

He didn't know know really what to do. He felt lost and awkward. He hated seeing a girl cry and he didn't want it. "Oh come on,don't cry. Crying won't help."

"How can I not cry?",she asked tearfully.

"I don't know. Just,don't. Even though you are still pretty."

"No I'm not",she sobbed.

" Yes you are." Harley lifted her head up with his hand. "Look at me."

Angel sniffed and tried to stop crying. He looped her tears away and looked at her tenderly. "See,you're still my Angel."He kissed the top of her head,then her left cheek,then her mouth. Then he gave her another kiss. It started out sweet,which comforted her,but then after about 30 seconds it turned passionate. He then put his hand on the small of her back,sneaking his hand on her back underneath her big baggy blue sweatshirt.After about 45 more seconds he felt himself get aroused,then leaned in to gently push her back on the couch. But she pulled away. "Stop."

Harley sat up quickly and mumbled something explicit to himself.

Angel started tearing up again and hurriedly jumped off the couch and looked at him,throwing her arms up."I can't believe you. I just got news my mom,is gone,and you are trying to still get me to sleep with you."

Harley waved his finger at her." I can't believe you've dated me two months and still aren't willing to give it to me."

She gave him a very angry,sharp,look."Are you telling me that you were only comforting me to,to,seduce me?"

"Hey, I was just trying to get you to quit crying. And if having sex helps,then it does."

"Get out!" ,she yelled,pointing at the door.

"Fine. I don't need this.", he said storming out,slamming the door.

Angel sat on the couch,sobbing,gasping,and screaming.
