handed it to her and she went into the bathroom with it. She came out the dress hung loosely on her shoulders and was big on her. She was to skinny, she looked sick. He handed her a pair of white
flats. "They'll probally be to big for you." He said. She bent over to put them on. They were a couple sizes to big for her. He grabbed one of his jackets on the way out and put it around he shoulders it shrimped her, but it was to cold for her not to wear one. "Okay, lets go get some clothes for you."

Angel felt wierd in the dress. It was to big for her and so were the shoes. She knew she was to skinny, but she never noticed it this bad. She needed to get healthier, it was just hard on the road. She walked behind Chase on the was out of the apartment. They stepped out of the apartment and she pulled Chases jacket closer to her face. It was freezing out here. His jacket smelled like Chase, it was warm like him too. She always loved that about him. No matter what it felt like outside, he was always warm. Chase called a taxi for them and she climbed in after him. "Thank you for doing this for me." She said as they got into the cab. He looked at her and smiled. "Your welcome. You know I would do anything for you." She snuggled up next to him. He pulled her into his side she smelled like flowers and summertime. He couldn't get it out of his head. He knew that the soap she used didn't smell like this, that smell was all her. He loveds it too. The cab driver pulled over. Chase and Angel got out of the car next to a store. Angel knew the store was expensive she turned to tell him that it was to expensive. But Chase must have known what she was going to say. He looked at her "No, its okay. Its not to expensive." She
put her hands on her hips and said. "I don't have this kind of money, I would never be able to pay you back and you know
that." "Your not going to pay any of the money back, this is all on me." He replied. "Okay. Thank you. You know I'm not okay with this right?" Chase laughed "Oh I know your not, but you'll get over it." As they walked into the store the ladys that worked there gave Angel one look and didn't look again. Great Angel thought, they probally think I'm some Hobo. Chase walked over to one of the workers. "Excuse me, miss." The lady turned around and grave Chase a flirtasiuos smile. Chase didn't even seem to notice. He grabbed Angels hand it brought her next to him. "She needs some clothes." The lady looked at her and then their hands clasped together. With a very dissapointed look on her face she said "Right this way Mr. and Mrs?" Angel said "Oh I'm not his." But Chase cut her off. "Blackburn." He said. The lady looked from her to him. Then just shrugged. "Right this way Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn." Angel looked at Chase why they followed the lady. "Why did you do that?" She asked. "Its
less complicated that way." He replied. She gave him a unsure look. He laughed so loud, that the lady turned
around. "Shhh" Angel said to him laughing. The lady gave them a sturn look, while Chase and Angel kep giggling. The lady led them to a changing area and asked Angel what size she wore. "Uhm, I'm not sure." Angel replied to the lady. The lady gave her a unsure "Well, my name is Miss Lucie, I will go grab a couple sizes for you to try on. Angel and Chase collapsed on the changing area coach and laughed again. "Gosh, I haven't laughed that long in awhile...well probaly scince the last time I saw you." Chase looked at her and smiled. "Yeah, me either." Miss Lucie came back with a couple of dresses for Angel to try on. Angel went into the dressing room and tryed on a size and came out. The dress was to big on her and Angel knew that the moment she looked in the mirror. She went back on and tryed the smallest size on. She came out and it was only a little to big for her.
"Well I guess this size." Angel said. "But isn't that to big for you..." Chase replied. "Why don't you go try on a smaller size sweetie?" Miss Lucie asked. "Uhm...this is the smallest size." "Oh" is all Miss Lucie. "Well we will get you some in that size, will just have to fatten you up a bit." He said playfully as he poked at her belly. Angel laughed. "Yeah, a little more fat wouldn't hurt me."

Chase smiled at her and she smiled back. Gosh, her smile was breathtaking. He couldn't help but stare. Miss Lucie cleared her throught. They both had forgotten that she was standing there. "Can you bring her some more dresses in this size? A couple pair of jeans maybe?" Chase asked her. "Of course I can, Mr. Balckburn." She said with a smile on her face. He looked back at Angel to find her staring in the mirror with a sad look on her face. He ran up next to her and pulled her in his arms. She started to cry into his shirt. "Shhh, baby. Whats wrong?" Chase asked. She just hid her face. He grabbed her chin and moved her face to where he could see her. She tryed to hide her face again, but he kept a grip on her
chin. "Whats wrong Angel?" Chase asked. "I...I just can't look at myself." He held onto her closer. "I can't at myslf without seeing those bruises and how sick I look. I can't help but think I look...well..." Chase caught her chin again. "Can't help but think you look what?" She closed her eyes and whispered. "Ugly, I can't help but look at myself and feel gross and ungly."

Chase couldn't believe what he was hearing. He grabbed onto both sides of her face and looked her in the eyes. "You are
beautiful." She tried to hide her face. But he held onto her face. "Look at me and listen to me Angel! You are the most
beautiful girl I have ever met." That made Angel cry. Chase took ahold of her and hugged her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry." Angel looked up at him. "No thats not it, thats one of the nicest things that anyone has ever said to me." Chase couldn't believe that, all through highschool all these boys liked her. They thought she was gorgous and they were all right. "You know, I always thought that." "Really?" Angel replied. "Yeah, all through highschool. I thought you were the most amazing girl I had ever met. You were my best friend." "You were my best friend to Chase." "I used to wish I always had the courage to ask you out, I still do." Chase said. Angel gasped. "Really? Why would you want to go out with me?" Chase just stared at her and then without any warning he leaned down.

Angel had no idea what to do, she was still in shock. Chase had liked her, he thought she was beautiful. Chase started to lean down towards her and she was shocked. She was frozen in place, she didn't know what to do. She had never really been kissed, Chase was the only person who had ever even come close to actually kissing her.

She was getting ready for prom her Junior year. She was so excited, a football player had asked her to go to prom with him. She had picked out the perfect dress, she was in love with it. It had been a light blue, with a heart shaped top and the skirt flared out at the bottom. The dress also covered all the bruises on her legs that she had gotten for asking to go to prom, but her dad had given in and let her go anyway. She had put her hair was up and it looked great. Her makeup was flawless she had to put some on a bruise that was on her neck, but her silver necklace covered it up mostly. She thought it would be the happiest nigh of her life. She had just gotten of the phone with Chase, he of course had a date. He never had to worry about not having a date. He was gorgous and all the girls were in love with him. But she was so happy, her date Brad would be here any minute. She slipped on her silver heels and walked out into the living room. Her dad was sitting in his recliner with a beer in his hand and was watching his TV Show. "I'm about to leave now daddy." He just looked up and glared at her. Then all of a sudden he jumped from his chair and grabbed her. "Now don't go crying to me tonight if you do something stupid and end up getting pregnant." He yelled at her, then he calmly went back to his recliner as if nothing ever happened. Her arms hurt after that and she could feel the tears coming. She would never do something like that. Her mom had had her as a teenager, but had died giving birth to me. My dad had been 19 at the time. I went to him. I wished almost everyday that my mom hadn't died that day. She heard a honk outside and sprinted out of the house to Brad's Hummer. She climbed in. "You alright babe?" He asked her as he ran his hand down her arm. "Of course!" She said with a big smile. They drove to the prom and it was great she had danced with Brad the whole night practically. She had seen Chase he was dancing with his date looking as gorgous as ever. She felt bad that she watched for Chase the whole night, when Brad was right next to her. He was so great to her and he served her the whole night. It was magical or so she had thought. Brad and her were leaving as they walked to the car, she was Chase's car was still here. She wondered why because she hadn't seen him inside as they had left.
Brad and her climbed into the car and he drove but he passed the turn off for her house. "Hey! You passed the turn!" Angel told him. "I know babe, were going to take a detour real quick." She looked at him and well she thought she could trust him. So they kept driving and he pulled up to a place in the woods. "Where are we Brad? I don't understand why we're here. Brad?" She turned around and looked but he wasn't looking at her face, he was looking at the rest of her. He jumped over to the other side of the car. "Brad!" Angel yelled. But he was hovering over her. He pushed her seat to were it was laying down. "Brad, please don't stop." He pulled down her dress to wear he could see her bra. Angel started screaming. Brad covered her mouth "Shhh, baby. It's alright. You'll be fine, you know you want this." Brad whispered into her ear. "No, I don't. Please stop Brad! Get off of me!" Brad didn't listen he just stuffed his tye in her mouth to were no one could hear her screaming. He had yanked off her bra, and was touching her and
