Finally she had turned fifteen. Angelica Reed was fifteen years old and in grade nine. "Angelica!" called a prissy blonde haired girl. She beckoned to Angelica to where she was and smirked. Angelica sighed. "Ugh... what do they want now?" When she got over she raised an eyebrow. "Yes? Courtney?" she asked. "Guess what we found out?" Courtney chimed looking at her friends, a wide smile across her fake face. "We found out that your brother smokes weed on school property," she said and she whipped her phone out showing her a picture. Angelica looked away embarrassed. She had known about her brother but didn't think he'd be found out. She only nodded not saying a word. Courtney laughed. "I have a proposal... If you don't want this picture spread then..." "No... you wouldn't do that!" She said quietly. "Please don't do this!" The girl smiled. "Well then, do something for us." "Anything." "We want you to go to an escort service, I'm sure someone there might want a pretty girl like you," chirped Courtney. Her friends laughed and Angelica stood there frozen in terror. It was either this or her brother would most likely go to jail... She didn't want it to be her fault if he did so she agreed. "Alright. I'll go... After school. But you have to promise not to show anyone that picture." "Understood." Courtney smirked and deleted the photo. "You drop out and we will find a way to get you back, and you know we can," she said and then she and her friends left. "What... should I do..." she whispered. She looked at the ground. There was no way to escape this now. ~~~~~~~<><><>~~~~~~<><><>~~~~~~~ Oh wow... Katie has no readers for this work..
"Go on, go Angelica," said Courtney. Angelica looked back at her and she took out the fake ID... She felt tears forming but she held them back. She wouldn't let them see her cry. She entered the building and walked to the front desk... there were many rooms... and her heart quickened and her head began to pound. "Ya? What ya want?" asked the woman on the other side of the desk. Angelica shot her a worried look. "I... I'm here... to... to..." "I understand. My dear, you aren't even eighteen years of age," she said and she shooed her. "I am so eighteen!" Angelica insisted frantically searching for it. She handed it over and the woman eyed her. "I have seen many fakes in my life but..." "Just leave her with me Janet." Angelica jumped in surprise and she turned around quickly only to come face to face with an older man. He was handsome and she felt her heart skip a beat. "But Leilester..." "I said leave her with me," said the man and he lightly touched Angelica's arm. She blushed and looked away. "What's wrong? You came here for an escort didn't you?" he asked. He stared her over. It was her... definitely. It was the one he had loved back in the earlier years... She perked up. And escort! She was here for an escort! She blushed in embarrassment. "Yes... I am," she said quietly. "Then won't you come with me?" he asked. He extended his hand to her and she took it. He led her to an empty room and closed the door behind them. As soon as this happened Angelica turned to him. "I-I can't...!" "I know what you're going to say. Why are you here? Who was the jerk who forced you to come here?" he asked and he sat down in a chair. He was... surprisingly kind. She looked at the floor. "N-no one." He raised an eyebrow and looked her over. Trembling, avoiding his eye... Did she really think he was that stupid? "I'm bot stupid. Obviously there is something wrong here," he said. "No... there's nothing wrong! I came on my own!" He smirked. "Oh really? Is that so?" he asked and he walked closer to her. He grabbed her and pinned her against the wall. "Then... if you came on your own..." He roughly kissed her lips and held her close to him. Her surprise made her struggle. She tried to free herself but he was much to strong for her. "D-don't!" she gasped as she turned her face. "Please! Don't!" "But you came here on your own..." he said in almost a mocking way. She looked away embarrassed. "That... yes..." She looked up at him with teary eyes and he forced himself to look away. Just like her... but this girl also seemed different and he had to force himself away from her so he wouldn't be tempted... She was so embarrassed she didn't know what to do. She quickly turned away from him and ran out if the room. He didn't bother running after her, what good would come of it? He noticed at the corner of his eye a science textbook. He sighed. Those things were too expensive just to be left around... but... how would he find her? He opened the cover and peered inside. "Angelica... Reed? So that's your name in this life then...?" he paused. Just thinking of her pained him. He slammed his fist onto the table. "Shit..."
Alexander was troubled when he got home from work. He wasn't sure of the right thing to say to Leilester. He'd be home soon from his work. Suddenly the door creaked open and Alexnader's eyes immediately found there way towards it. Leilester stood in the doorway looking confused. "Leilester...?" Alexander took notice of a textbook in his hand. "What's that?" Leilester looked at him and cleared his throat. "Nothing. This doesn't concern you. Anyways... you found her, didn't you?" he asked. Alexander looked down at the floor. He had hoped Leilester had forgotten. But he nodded. "She's just like Marie..." "No." Alexander lifted his head in surprise. "No? What do you mean by that?" "I can see that you think she is just like that girl, but she's not. She is her own person, don't treat her like she is the love of your life because she is not. Marie was. Winona is just an ordinary girl." Alexander look away. "I know that but..." "Leave it at that," said Leilester and he gripped his textbook. "Really... what is that?" "Someone just left it at work. So I'm going to go and find her and return it. Her name's Angelica Reed," Leilester sighed. "Reed? I've treated someone named Roseanne Reed. I mean I doubt she's part of the family since there are most likely many Reed's..." "Just tell me." "Why do you even care? You've never cared about women before. That's why you're an escort." "It's not that I care, it's because these textbooks are expensive. It'd be a waste." "Hmm? Was she in college?" "No. She was in grade nine," Leilester said quietly. "She wouldn't tell me why she was even there anyways... It still bothers me. But anyways, just tell me the address. It's worth a shot." "Fine." Leilester watched impatiently as Alexander rummaged through his files. He perked up when Alexander pulled out a file. "You know. When you get there, they may want to know how you found out where they lived..." "I'll think of something..." "Wait. I'll go with you. If it's the right Reed, they'll know me. You will be at an advantage," said Alexander and he grabbed his coat. "You don't have to come." "Why not?" "Because... There are reasons. Don't come, you might get hurt..." whispered Leilester. Alexander seemed confused. "What do you mean?" "Fine. If you want to come then come along, I don't care." ~~~~~~~<><><>~~~~~~<><><>~~~~~~~ They drove across town and entered a more family friendly neighborhood. They drove down the streets until they found a nice stone house, with a glass front door and a flower bed of tulips in the front. "This is the place..." Alexander said, rechecking the document. Leilester said nothing and opened the car door and let himself out. Alexander quickly followed behind him. Leilester rang the door bell and he heard footsteps walk towards the door. "Hello?" Leilester's body tensed. Angelica had answered the door. She seemed somewhat surprised and immediately shut the door only to re-open it again. Her eyes looked from Leilester and then they found there way to make eye contact with Alexander. Alexander felt his head spin. That girl! This girl! What?! He wasn't seeing who he thought he was seeing. He backed away. "You... are doctor Kamashev?" Alexander didn't speak. He merely backed away, nodded curtsily and went back to the car. Angelica blushed. "W-was it something I said?" Leilester shook his head. "No... it wasn't..." "Why are you here?" she asked. Leilester pulled her textbook from his bag. "You forgot this, Miss Angelica Reed," he said smiling at her. He lightly took her hand an kissed it. Angelica blushed and grabbed her textbook. Her face was beet red and she clenched her teeth. "Thank you... And don't do that you pervert!" she shouted and She closed the door in his face. Leilester grinned and he went back to the car. Alexander's face was more pale than ever. He only stared at the wheel. And when Leilester had barely gotten in the car, he quickly drove away. "You idiot!" "I know..." "You could've told me it was her!" Alexander shouted. He gripped the wheel tightly. "I know..." "You should have told me!" "I know..." "You should have told me that the girl you were referring to was my god damn sister!"
