It was a nice day at the Brightendale/Calandra household. Lily sat in her chair, crocheting something for Rose again. Yet another sweater the poor girl didn't need. Heaven knows what Carmen was up to, probably surfing the web for more clothes she didn't need or practicing with her horn. Soft melodies could be heard from Rose's room as well as loud blaring music from Angel's. Lily sighed and put in her earplugs, hoping drown out some of the noise.
Angel was in her room, studying. Her mom, Carmen, had so many books and she wanted to read some of them. Get a taste of what Carmen went through and how she saw life. It kind of made Angel giggle at some of the things her mother didn't understand. Both of them. They were both so naive.
I was never that naive... Was I?
She looked up from her book and then shook her head.
Nah. Definitely not. Rose, maybe.
A chuckle. Angel put the book down and sat up, throwing her legs over the side of the bed, forgetting about her injured leg. It hit the dresser next to her bed like a lead brick and then various groans and screams could be heard all through the house.
"AHHHVFD! OW, OW, OWWW! DAMNIT!" Angel shouted as she pulled her bandaged leg in to wrap her arms around it.
That's what I get for protecting Rose.
Angel had injured herself attacking the man that had touched her sister. She was sure he'd tried to touch her in an inappropriate way as all men did. She wasn't stupid and neither was he. Still, she'd only gotten one hit on him before he managed to start dodging her and ran away. She hit her leg on several tables trying to hit him after the initial blow. Still, she felt good having socked him a good one in his gut. Should've aimed for the more sensitive area though.
Angel rolled around on the bed, stopping when she heard her door creak open.
"Is everything okay? I heard you scream." Lily said through the opened door, her eyes showing her worry.
"I'm fine, Mom. Just.. forgot about my leg momentarily." Angel explained, shaking her head.
