🎼"This is worse than you getting into trouble with the government." Mum snapped from the kitchen.

"You have to bring that up again, besides I was not in trouble with the government. And what those scientists were doing to those puppies is illegal! I saved those poor things lives!" I shouted looking under the dining table and when I stood back up I crashed into Blaz.

"You were in trouble by the government?" Blaz questioned genuinely shocked.

"No I... I am against animal science testing and I... Why am I telling you this!? It's none of your business and my cousin is missing!" I snapped. And it's my entire fault; he's upset because I wouldn't play with him. I ignored him... but where would he have run off to?

"Relax I doubt he's gone far. How distant can he go on those little legs?" Blaz said trying to comfort me. Is he mocking or is he sincere?

"Alright you all stay here just in case he comes back or something... I am going to call Glady's and your father, I'll call the police and... Oh my god." My mother pulled on her black fur coat and tied her blond hair back into a high bun. I can see the fear in her eyes and I can also see how exhausted she is. I love her with all my heart but why didn't she tell me, that I'm not even hers? I had every right to know.

"Mum I can help..." I said but she interrupted me glaring me down as if I have strongly disappointed her.

"No just stay here. Blaz don't let her leave the house." She ordered and Blaz grinned wryly while I am officially infuriated.

"What!? Seriously?" I screamed.

"You heard the woman I'm in charge."

"You are not in charge Blaz. Don't get ahead of yourself!"

"We'll keep her out of trouble Mrs Shanley." Erica said.

"It's Ms Campbell. And Angelica watch your attitude." She snapped and I stood there with my hanging open. She did not just say that to me... my hands clenched to fists at my sides and I glared at the ground so I was just listening to her thundering to the front door. And then the door slammed shut.

"Angie?" Erica stepped beside me and touched my shoulder in a comforting way and she gently squeezed it.

"Again with that stupid nickname." Blaz commented sourly and I sniffled accidentally.

"Oh shut up Blaz." I growled and I rushed over to the front door. Someone grabbed my hand and spun me around forcefully. "Blaz let me go." His eyes glazed me up and down as he stopped the blood circulation in my wrist. Then his eyes stayed on mine reading blank but mine he can probably read out hate and anger.

"Don't even think about it princess."

"I'm going to look for Michael."

"Your mother..."

"You don't follow rules. What just because now you think you're in charge of me the thought of being good appeals to you?"

"Don't take it to offence Angelica. He can't help but abuse power." Erica said the whistled. "Nice place by the way."

"And you think being told off by your mum once that you're a complete badass?" Blaz said ignoring Erica completely and I just tore my arm away from him.

"God you're a moron." I scowled refusing to admit that he may, OR MAY NOT be right.

~🎶~

I sat on the piano while Blaz sat on the seat watching me. We've been quiet while staring each other down. And even though I'm sitting higher up than he is. He still manages to look down on me. Erica sat awkwardly next to him staring around bored out of her mind.

"How did you save those puppies?" Blaz asked me and I sighed.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Why not?"

"Listen I haven't even told Henry this story so please just don't talk about it."

"It's a noble cute thing." Erica said and Blaz perked a brow looking at her funny.

"That got me in a loooot of trouble. So please just drop it." I crossed my arms over and stared down at my high tops.

"I don't want to." Blaz said and I rolled my eyes then glared down at him.

"How about we work on our music project?" I suggested leaning forward and he leaned up making me back away. And he rested his arms on my piano smirking up at me.

"Are you going to be wearing things like this everyday?" He asked stroking my arch leggings. Is he flirting again? "I mean were the hoodies just to hide from FBI agents?"

"Ugh! For the last time I was not in trouble with the government now just..." I got up and gestured for him to get up. "Move." I ordered but he just grinned up at me. "Fine then." I surprised the both them by sitting right into his lap.

"Princess?" He asked shocked as I wiggled a bit to get comfortable and I saw Erica start chuckling.

"My brother... is blushing? Wow that's new." Erica said then covered her smile with her hand and giggled.

"Hey I told you to move." I said then played a few keys on the piano. They were random notes and then I thought of a beautiful song I've recently just heard that made me cry. So I played the song and let the music carry me away. "Do you guys know this song?" I asked them but neither of them responded.

"Sing it." Blaz demanded and I chuckled.

"No I'm not singing for you." I said and then he gently squeezed under my rib cage making me yelp. "Blaz!" I snapped.

"Sing woman!" He bellowed and when I gazed at him over mt shoulder I saw he was smirking deviously at me. Then he turned to his sister. "Hey Erica our um mum wanted us to help her out with something at home. Do you think you could just go yourself now?"

"What? Our mum? What are you talking about Blaz?" She asked confused and he growled then widened his eyes at her.

"You know..." he said and she just shook her head now smirking.

"No idea what you're talking about and Angelica where's your bathroom?" she asked.

"Down the hall." I said and she got up eyeing at Blaz as she strutted out. Once she was gone I prepared to slide off Blaz but he quickly held me down. "Let me go Blaz."

"Sing it."

"You won't let me go till I do it right?" I asked then started playing. "You're singing with me."

"I don't know the song." He said so I sighed and just started singing anyway.

'say something I'm giving up on you' I sang.

'I'll be the one if you want me to'

'everywhere I would have followed you.'

'Say something I'm giving up on you'

'And I, will swallow my pride,' Blaz started singing with me.

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl.'

"Ok." I stopped. "You do know it. So is this the song we want?" I asked. "And let me go." He removed his hands from around my waist and I slid down next to him and gazed into his mischievious eyes.

"It's not bad... but don't you have any songs that you wrote?"

"I don't write songs I just sing sing them." I replied practising the song on the piano. "We could try adding our own musical piece to it. Like..." I'm just thinking of anything to distract me from Michael.

"Have you ever tried?" Blaz asked me and I stopped and just stared down at my hands.

"Tried what?"

"Writing songs."

"What's it to you?"

"Just asking." He said shrugging and I stayed silent for a few moments because I'm not used to talking about music with other people. Plus I don't want to have a heart to heart chat with Blaz. Music is my personal world; he out of all people is the last person I would ever tell.

"I... I've wanted to but..." Still telling him anyway... actually never mind. "I never find the time." I lied.

"What too busy riding the limo? Lounging by the pool?"

"Chasing after cats." I interrupted oddly smiling up at him and he chuckled.

"Seriously what's the real reason?"

"I think about writing but I never do it, good enough hellhound?" I don't want to tell him that I doubt my songwriting skills. No way.

"Hm... Shall we try the song again?" He asked placing his fingers onto the piano.

"You play?" I questioned shocked,

"Nope." He said and I sighed rolling my eyes. "But I think this is definitely the song. When they hear you sing they will ball their eyes and we'll ace it."

"Have you ever aced anything?" I questioned and he remained silent then looked at me as if he just realised I was sitting next to him.

"What?" He heard me... I know he did the asshole. So I scowled and started playing.

"You have to sing the guy part." I said and he shook his head.

"No."

"You have to." I replayed the staring notes waiting for him to sing.

"I'll do something else. I don't sing."

"You did last time."

"I don't sing." He growled trying to scare me but as if I would ever be scared of him.

"God you're a spaz." I said sardonically. "Now sing with me please."

"Did you start that Spaz nickname?" He questioned perking a brow and I averted my eyes away. "Not that creative but bonus points for the rhyme." He said and I laughed still playing. I repeated the notes and repeated and repeated... And finally Blaz got the message. "You won't sing till I will right?" I repeated the beginning notes again smirking. "Keep playing then. I don't care."

"Oh come on Blaz." I whined and he gave me a sinister grin.

"Nope." I was about to snap at him but then a bluebird appeared at the window. "You know if you just sing the whole thing yourself we'll get good scores even though I'll just be sitting there." I got up and walked around him to the window where the blue bird still sat. It stared at me dead in the eye as I couldn't help but stare back.

"Shall I get my jacket?" I asked it hoping it can hear me through the glass.

"What?" Blaz questioned.

"I'm cold." I said and the little nodded before flying off. "I'll just get a jacket." I told Blaz walking out of the room just as Erica was walking in smirking to herself. I hope I didn't seem suspicious to Blaz because I don't want him stoppng me. I quietly crept to the front door. I can't belive how freaking easy this is the moron. I opened it and ran for my life to the open gates. I glared left and right then the little blue bird circled around my head and flew right. "Will you lead me to Michael?" I yelled out a sudden adrenaline bursting through me as it kept flying away. Do I want Blaz in my house with no supervision? As soon as he notices I'm gone he'll come after me. I think. So I started bolting, Blaz won't steal anything everything in the house is too girly. Plus what would he want with human things? Not my problem now I can't belive Michael would run off like that! Is it really my fault? I'm just a horrible influence for the boy. And now that I'm running I can't stop because it's down hill but I kind of miss this. Just running around like some crazy kid. The wind in my hair feels amazing, it's like hands are caressing every strand. Don't feel too good Angelica you lost a kid it's time to concentrate. But then when the blue bird kept to turning around to make sure I'm following I thought about flying. If I'm the daughter of Will and Dara where are my wings? That would make this a little easier on finding Michael. And it would be awesome to fly even though I'm afraid of heights. Actually it's not a fear of being up high it's just the fear of falling. I froze suddenly when I stopped at the sight of traffic. Damn it where's the bird? I whipped my head around at the sky then gazed at the roofs of shops in case it had decided to rest. And then I saw it sitting acroos the street on the tree branch in front of a big restaurant. Oh god it's the one my parents used to take me when I was little, ugh I hated the food here. Everything was small and over priced but all the wealthy go... What would Michael be doing there? If he is here. I didn't need to glance left and right because the traffic is incredible. I'm literally going to have to climb over cars because they're all up each others butts. I jumped on tp of a black mercedz and the guy inside honked at me not happy that someone is tredding on his clean car. I though about staring at him so he would be stunned at my beauty but then changed my mind. I jumped onto the next car and got honked at but then leaped down onto the pavement. Just underneath the tree the bird was sitting on.

"Where is he?" I asked her, at least I'm assuming. She looks so feminine to me when I stare at her eyes. She head gestured to the restaurant and then my mind forced my eyes to see something. This is how I could a test was coming up in science I just saw it happening. I can't really see a scene in the future, I just see images in my mind. It's like those games four pics one word or whatever. They're symbols of what I'm going to see, like little clues. All I see now are white angel wings, Michael smiling, purple cat eyes, and a shadow luiking in an alleyway. Why is it always alley ways? My vision came back and I thought about the angel wings. I might see Ranger I guess and I'll definitely be seeing Mr Cat and Michael. And with the shadow lurking in the alleyway. That's too creepy to be Blaz. "Thank you." I said to her then walked over inside the red carpeted building. I've always admired the angel and cupid artwork on the ceiling, but now is not the time to observe. I have to find Michael and get back on my mum's goodside.

"Excuse me." A waitor dressed in a formal black tuxedo. Jeez it's not even six yet... He's tall and has a curly grey moustache that hides his mouth and a butt chin. "Do you have a reservation?" He asked me and I shook my head. "Well I'm afraid we can't let you pass full house tonight." He said the only sign of him speaking is the way his moustache moving. Seriously it looks like he doesn't have a mouth and it's really distracting. "Did you hear me?"

"Listen my mum left something behind I just want to go and collect it." I attempted to side step around him but he grabbed my shoulder.

"Who is your mother?"

"Mrs Shanley."

"Oh she isn't a Shanley anymore, nice try. She and Mr Shanley have divorced. About time to, who would want to stay with a woman who can't bare children?" I stiffened. And hot fury surged through me. Who is he to talk about my family like this? I kicked his leg then stormed passed him.

"Ass hole." I muttered. "Fucking prick... with that stupid moustache." I can sense people looking at me funny because I'm talking to myself but I don't care. I searched around for Michael but there is no sign of him anywhere. And I can't just hang around because that evil moustache will kick me out. I speed walked when the moustache man was coming after me then someone grabbed my hand from the table I was trying to pass. I yelped as I was tugged over my gut smashing into the table.

"Angelica?" Ranger sat surprised in his seat still holding onto my wrist.

"Ranger?" I guess I was right about seeing him... When Moustache man continued walking after me I sat down opposite Ranger with him still holding onto me. "Do me a favour." I said and he cocked his head to the side interested.

"What?" He said then the moustache man came to our table and looked sternly at me.

"You, you little wench." He said and I perked a brow. "If you don't leave now I will be forced..."

"Moustache man. If my parents knew the way you were treating me, they would be sure to get you fired whilst I rip off that stupid moustache off your face. You have no right treat any customer like this."

"That's it." He bellowed and grabbed my arm forcefully and really hurting me bad.

"Get off me." I demanded then Ranger burst from his seat slamming the palm of his hand onto the man's.

"You stop right there. You are ruining your resturuant's reputation by physically harming a customer. Besides she's here with me." He removed his hand from the man and money just sat there in it. The man stared down at it then picked it up shoving it into his pocket looking around at all the stunned customers.

"Good day." He said then walked away nose pointing up.

"Snotty, snobby ass." I whispered and Ranger chuckled.

"Insults and threats never work Angie." He said to me as we sat back down and I rolled my eyes.

"Says you." I commented hand gesturing to him. Who does he think he is? He is all about the insults. "You yourself use threats and vulgar language so don't be a hypocrite." I picked a piece of bread from the basket in the middle of the table and nibbled on it. And before he could speak I said. "Thank you by the way. Even though I literally wanted to rip off his moustache I'm thankful for you saving me."

"What are you doing here?" He asked pouring me some water and I nodded thanks then said. "I'm looking for someone." I said being honest. I'm meant to meet and maybe because he's going to help me.

"Who?" He asked.

"My younger nephew, he ran away from home... Because of me..." I started getting teary eyed. Damn these hormones!

"Hey, hey don't cry." He got from his seat and walked around the table to hold me in his warm embrace. "I don't know what to do when girls cry." He admitted and I giggled.

"So far you're doing a pretty good job." I said. "Still we're not close enough to be giving each other hugs." He tightened his hold on me. "One might say you're taking advantage of me." I whispered and his lips grazed over my cheek making me blush. Then I felt his hot breath in my ear making me gasp.

"I'll take any chance I get." He whispered and so I shook him off as well as my uneasiness.

"Sorry to disappoint but I'm not here for you Ranger. Besides I would never go for you, you're too weird." I joked then glared up at him. "So don't push your luck." He smirked then sat back down but in the seat next to me. I wiped away the tears then took a big gulp from my drink. "Have you seen a little boy running around here? Brown hair big, blue puppy eyes, a face that you can't help but adore." I said.

"Other than myself no sorry." He said and I sighed sadly. He's going to be here though I know it. "You're not going to find him?"

"I know he'll be here." I said then placed my hands in my lap waiting.

"I get the pleasure of your company. Thank you Michael."

"How do you know his name?"

"You told me."

"Did I? Oh...."
