Later that day, the hospital let me leave. Amelia came and got me after letting me spend some time with Mason. She must understand how hard things are for him since his twin got kidnapped. Surprisingly I didn't get hurt in the blast.

"Are you sure you are feeling okay?" She asks me for the hundredth time.

"Yes, I promise I'm okay." That is most definitely a lie. The pain in my back is almost unbearable, but I'm great at hiding pain.

"So, your friend Ace asked me if you and Mason could go on a vacation. I told him it was a great idea considering all this stuff keeps happening to you. What do you say?" Amelia is acting like this is completely normal for a girl to go on vacation with two boys alone.

I stare at her for a moment, trying to think of what to say.

"Um, yes? Sounds fun." I'm going to have a nice chat with Ace when I go back to school. I don't even know what today is. All I know is that I'm hungry and I miss the boys.

"How have the boys been?" I ask her, turning down the music that I turned on.

"They miss you a lot. Ben hasn't been able to sleep, he will be so happy when he sees you." She tells me with a smile. I don't understand how her and Miles haven't kicked me out yet. I've been in so much trouble this past week, it's insane.

"I miss them both too. Can I ask you a question?" I ask her, and look down at my lap. I'm not sure why I want to ask her this, but I really want to know.

"Of course, sweetie." I think about how I need to ask this, but before I know it, the words just pour out of my mouth.

"Why did you and Miles adopt me?" I ask her and she looks over at me before looking back to the road.

"As soon as I saw you for the first time, I told Miles we had to get you. You have been through so much and I knew you were special. Everything that has happened to you in the past happened for a reason, and I'm glad you are a part of this family now." I stare at her for a hot minute, trying not to cry.

"Thank you." I whisper, wiping the single tear off my cheek. She takes her hand and holds mine. The simple action showed so much love, I really hope they keep me and don't send me back.

"Adina! Your home!" I heard Ben before I saw him and I chuckled.

"Yes, I am, so come give me a hug." I yell out, and then I see him running at me at full speed. Ben is the most adorable 5-year-old you will ever see. Heath is 10, but he still came and gave me a soft hug, making sure he didn't hurt me.

I wrap the small child in my arms, embracing him. As I'm hugging him, I see Amelia and Miles watching us while holding each other.

"Okay buddy, Adina is very tired so how about we give her some space." Miles says and I send him a silent thank you. I need to go take a shower that will hopefully help with my back.

It still scares me how I'm an angel. They shouldn't be real, not like this. Ace will have to give me more details about his- our kind.

Scaring me out of my thoughts, Miles taps my shoulder.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. I just wanted to ask you if you were hungry?" I smile at him but shake my head.

"I think I'm just going to go take a shower and head to bed." I tell him.

"I understand sweetie, you've had it rough recently. I hope you feel better, I will put some leftovers in the fridge for you." At that he walks away and I stumble to my room. The pain in my back has gotten way worse.

I go to the full body mirror I have in my clean but simple room. I slip off my shirt so I can see how bad my back actually is. When I see it, I get chills all over my body. It's way bigger than it was earlier. How has no one seen it poking out?

As I was putting on my sleeping clothes, my phone went off. I step over to my desk that sits all the way across my room.

Unknown: Has Amelia told you about the trip?

Who is this? I don't remember giving anyone my number.

Me: Who is this?

A few seconds later I get a response.

Unknown: Ace, I put your number in my phone while we were waiting on you to wake up. Did she talk to you about it yet?

Me: Yes, she did, what is all of that about? Why would I go on a trip with you?

Ace: We will talk about it tomorrow, I'll be there in the morning.

I frown at my screen. Who does this guy think he is? Does he not realize that he just ruined my whole life with all this Angel bullshit?

I angrily put my phone down, and ran my fingers through my knotted-up hair. I want my normal life back. I collapse on my bed and sigh heavily. I hope tomorrow is better but for some reason I don't think it will be.
