All Chapters of Forever Mine: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sarah and Angel headed to the beach. Not the cliffs where they usually went. Sarah wanted to walk on the beach. It wasn't too crowded for a Saturday. They walked for quite a while and were already on their way back to the car, when Angel brought up his Spanish class woes."You don't know Spanish?" She was completely surprised."Well, I thought I was okay at it," he said. "But according to the scores I've been getting on my quizzes, I suck."Sarah couldn't help laughing despite the agitation she was feeling about the impending conversation. "I can help you."Angel turned to her curiously. "You know Spanish?""Claro que si."Angel smiled at her impressed. "Good, because I have a quiz Tuesday, and progress reports go out on Wednesday. If I don't get higher than a D on my quiz, I'm sitting out the game on Friday."Sarah smiled. "I'll be your private tutor."They got to the car and Angel leaned on it, pulling her against him. "Mmm, sounds good."Sarah knew she needed to ask him now

AngelBy Monday, everything was back to normal with Sarah and Angel. They'd never spent their morning or lunch breaks together. So when Angel saw Dana by her locker just before lunch, he figured it was as good a time as any to take care of this once and for all.Two friends were with her. Her eyes brightened when she saw him approach. She quickly dismissed her friends. "I'll talk to you guys later.""Hey." She smiled big at Angel, tossing her hair back. "What's up?""Do you have a minute?""For you? Of course.""I know what you were doing Friday, Dana. It's gotta stop."Her smile dissolved, and she glanced into her locker. "I don't know what you mean.""Sure you do." He spoke calmly.She stared straight ahead. "You gave me that jersey, don't you remember?""No, I lent it to you, and you never gave it back."She shifted her weight and finally met his eyes. Angel saw right through her attempt to appear injured. "You want it back? Is that what this is about?""Yeah, I do. And

Angel scored an eighty on his Spanish quiz and was happy to be in the game that week. It was an important one too. They were playing their rivals, and both teams were in the running for the playoffs.Sarah sat in the stands with Sofia, Valerie, and Valerie's friend Monica. Angel's parents had flown out earlier that evening to Florida for Alex's game the next day. Sofia was Angel's responsibility until they got back. Rather than leaving her alone at the restaurant tonight, Angel got the go ahead to close up early and have her tag along with them.Sarah didn't mind having her along for the night. She liked Sofia, and ever since Sarah started practicing with the track team, they'd gotten a lot closer. Sarah felt bad though. The relay team never even came close to the times Sarah put on the board when she stood in for the fourth place runner during practice. The coach was always going on and on about how heartbroken he was that she wouldn't be sticking around for next semester. She'd sta

Angel"Frances?" Sarah was almost in tears. "Yeah, it's me. How's Sydney?"She clutched the paper Angel had handed to her at her chest and listened. She stared at Angel. "Oh, thank God," she said. "I was so scared."Angel exhaled relieved. "No, no, I'm glad you called." she said. "So, what happened? Why was an ambulance called?"She was on the phone for a few more minutes, and Angel sat down on the desk chair, leaning all the way back. He watched as Sarah hung up and looked at him. He held his arms out for her to come to him. She walked over and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her. "So, she's okay?"Sarah nodded. "The ambulance was called because Sydney complained of pain in the stomach. They wanted to make sure there was no internal bleeding.""Was there?"Sarah shook her head and took a deep breath. "No."Angel leaned his forehead against hers. "How are you doing?"She smiled weakly and shrugged. "I was just imagining the worst.""Sarah." He kissed her head. "Tom

SarahThe football team didn't make it to the championships, losing in the second game of the playoffs to a team they'd beat during the regular season. It was a heartbreaking loss, but Sarah had her own special way of consoling Angel.It had been just over two months since she'd started going out with Angel, and already she felt as if she'd known him forever. Still, every kiss they shared felt as exciting and as passionate as that first night, if not more so.Sarah loved the way Angel touched her with such urgency—the way he never even tried to hide his need to feel her, taste her. They'd done things lately that were getting awfully close to the real deal.Because of the circumstances in which Sarah had been born and all that her mom had gone through, the birds and the bees talk had come early for Sarah. She was only eleven when her mom sat her down and told her everything. And ever since, she'd been hammering the importance of birth control and protection from disease into Sarah's
