Chapter 1 part 3

She was stupendous twirling and spinning as she knocked all of them off of me. When she was done she took a little bow and then helped me to my feet. I stumbled back, she was radiant and here I was this filthy seventeen year old standing next to this angelic woman. “Now all of you punks better scram you got that! And if I ever see you messing with this girl or any other I’ll knock you out so fast you won’t know what hit you!” she said menacingly, her beautiful face suddenly turning dark. After they had finally left she turned to me and said “You ok kiddo?” “Uh………..” the next thing I knew I woke up on a nice, soft bed. Where am I? I thought. Then she came in. “Are you okay kid, you scared me last night.” “I-I scared you?” I was shocked, what did I do? “Well frankly when you fainted I um…thought you were dead.” “WHAT!?” I yelled. “Well you looked really beat up kid and I didn’t know if you had croaked on me or what.” She said apologetically. “Oh.” I said, sighing in relief. “Ouch!”I said taking in a sharp breath, sighing had left this horrible pain in my chest, but then again so did taking sharp breaths. “Are you okay?” she sounded alarmed. “Me? Yeah I’m fine.” Just fine, I thought. “Um lady, I don’t mean to sound rude but uh, just who are you?” “Oh there I go again forgetting my manners, I’m Angel.” She said sweetly. “Oh nice to meet you Angel, I’m Violetta, but you can call me Violet or Vi for short.” I said as sweetly as possible. “Why would I want to do that? Violetta is such a beautiful name.” Angel said. It was surprising in one night she went from super bad arse-kicker to this motherly figure. “So Angel um…is this your house?” I asked. “Oh yes, why do you like it?” Angel asked. “Uh…yeah I guess.” I said. “Then it’s settled!” Angel said with a smile. “What’s settled?” I asked, confused. “Why, you’ll be living with me!” “What!?” I was shocked “Why?!” “Because Violetta, you’re seventeen and need a good home, besides I’ve always wanted a daughter.” Angel said. “But Angel you can’t be serious, you hardly know me. Besides why would you want me?” I said quietly. “Well why wouldn’t I? You’re smart, spunky, and remind me a lot of myself when I was your age.” She said. “Really?!” I asked. “Yes really!” Angel said ecstatically.
