Strings Of Fate

Chapter 73: Not there yet

"You okay Toney?" Molly was the first to ask what they were both thinkings.

Angel sighed, straightening up, moving away from Cherri's hold. "Yeh...I'm alrigh'.."

Molly frowned, crossing her arms. "No your not you've been actin' weird since we got on the plane. So just tell me wh-" She was cut off by Cherri grabbing her shoulder, Molly looked at her troubled as the taller female-only shook her head in reply. Sighing, the blonde female gave in.

Angel frowned, he didn't like to make his sister upset. He cherished her smile. "I'm sorry Molls...I just can't righ' now." He tried.

Molly met his gaze, she wanted to push the subject. That much was obvious with her expression and stubbornness the women had. Though decided to side with Cherri this time. "It's okay Toney." She said softly. "Let's just enjoy bein' here kay?" She smiled.

The weight on Angel's shoulders lifted as he too smiled, relieved. "Yeah. I'll try."

The ride to Cherri's aunt's house wasn't exactly pleasant after being stuck on a jet for several hours. Though with the lack of a certain brunette it was bearable. Angel sat in the back of the black car, looking out the window like his sister. Taking in all the sites they passed, buildings, shops, and the further out they got it changed. Buildings became less as they past vast amounts of greenier and nature.

The area they found themselves in was more or less rural. Away from the main town and on the edge of the forest that seemed to surround this part of Pennsylvania. The homes out here appeared far more lavish though not exactly mansions. They held large yards wide enough for one or two swimming pools.

After a little over an hour, they finally seemed to reach their destination. Once the car began to slow. The road was long with houses a decent distance from one another. Behind those homes was the wide forest.

The car began to pull into the driveway of a fairly lavish home. A two-story home, a mission roof atop with a balcony on the second floor and a porch on the first. It held brick accents in its appearance. It also held a big yard just like the other homes in the area. The forest surrounding the area behind it.

Angel's stomach knotted as he spotted the identical black car already parked in the long driveway. "You sure your aunt will be okay with us stayin' here?" Angel from the backseat as the engine was cut.

Leaning over her chair to peer in the back, "yeah. She knew we were coming ahead of time and already made arrangements for it." Stepping out of the car Angel gulped.

He looked over as his hand was taken by Molly's. She offered him a small smile. "It'll be okay. I'm righ' here with ya." He squeezed her hand back, returning her smile.

"Thank you, Molly." He took a breath, stepping out of the car.

It seemed the driver was already getting the luggage in the trunk for them. Another man dressed in the same suit coming to help. Angel raised a brow as he turned to Cherri.

"They'll handle it, come on let's go say to my aunt." She said grabbing Angel's arm in hers. Molly was on the other one.

Angel scoffed as Cherri dragged them down the brick path, leading to the front porch. "Ay uh..Cherri, not t' be rude or nothin'. But...is your aunt like..rich or somethin'?"

"Mhm." Cherri answered nonchantly as she unlinked their arms at the stairs. "I thought you woulda figured that out by now. With the jets and servants."

Angel scratched his neck as he joined the two women on the porch. Three arches made up the structure of it, bushes around it. There was even a cute little swing on the porch. "Well, normally rich people.." he paused not wanting to be rude about it.
