Angel sat outside on the stairs, the sun was going down. She could hear her mother yelling at her brothers to come and eat and yelling at her father to find "his daughter". Angel shook her head and got up, walking into the apartment. Her brothers were already piling food onto their plates and her father was still on the couch watching the news. Her mother was eyeing her from the kitchen.

"Are you going to eat?", her mother said coldly.

Angel nodded and looked at the food in the pot. She hated arroz con pollo (rice and chicken). She felt disgust and turned around.

"I don't feel so good ma, I'm gonna go lie down."

"You haven't eaten in two days. What is wrong with you Angelica?"

"Nothing, it's not like you'd listen any way."

Angel rushed upstairs to her room and locked the door. She sat down on her bed, her hands on her stomach. She fought the tears in her eyes and laid back. God, please, please don't let me be pregnant., she thought to herself. She was feeling guilt; Alex was gone and her friends, well they turned out to be as low and shady as her ex-boyfriend. She had no one, her father would kill her. Then again if her father had been around most of her life she would have never turned to Alex and his crew. If her family would have given her a sense of family and a feeling of belonging she would have never found it in Alex. Alex would have never introduced her to alcohol, he would have never shown her the fast life. If only they had loved her, she wouldn't have been so vulnerable. If only Alex hadn't raped her.If only....

Angel opened her eyes, her alarm clock ringing loudly. She got ready for school and walked out without a single word to her mother. She rushed down the alley, making it to school a half and hour earlier. Angel walked to the football field, sitting down on the bleachers. All the athletes were there, talking and fooling around. The cheerleaders were all in their circle, eyeing Angel, whispering. Angel smiled at them and laughed, she knew Alex had started a rumour already. Angel wouldn't let him see he had broken her spirit that night. She wouldn't show him he had hurt her. She was determined to move on. Even though right then, she was aching and wanting to die.

"You actually showed up?"

"Alex..not right now,how many times do I have to tell you?I hate you! I don't want to talk to you."

She got up and started walking away but he grabbed her by the arm, making her face him.

"Not a word,"he said caressing her face,"or you know what will happen."

"Leave her alone Alex,"said a calm voice. A guy came towards them, pushing Alex away. He stood in front of Angel.

"Don't touch her."

"If it isn't Gabriel, coming to rescue the whore? Well Gabe, I'll leave you alone. Angel, we'll keep in touch."

Alex walked away, laughing. Angel wiped the tears from her eyes and Gabriel turned around and looked at her. She was staring at the floor as he brushed the hair from her face. She felt her face get hot, she was embarassed.

"Angie...Look at me."

She rolled her eyes and looked up at him. His golden eyes were shining as the sun rose higher. She couldn't control the tears from her eyes and he wiped them away.

"Please don't touch me.."

"I'm not going to hurt you Angie, I want to help you."

Without realizing what she was doing she wrapped herself around him tight, crying. He slowly wrapped his arms around her.

"He raped me Gabe! I'm so stupid, I actually trusted him and now I think I'm pregnant."

Gabriel felt a knot in his stomach, his childhood friend had raped the one girl he loved.

"Take me out of here Gabriel, please. I can't go in there yet.", Angel said as she heard the bell ring. Gabriel nodded and looked at her.

"He ain't gonna hurt you again, I promise."

He kissed her forehead, took her hand and guided her away from the school.

let me know what you guys think. the ending is probably rushed but hey...its a start.
