Who: James and Angela
Where: Near Marshall Street Apartments
When: Evening
Rating: PG?
Summary: Angela finally decides to go to the Marshall Street apartments to see if she can stay there, and runs into James!

the log: The days were slow in Discedo. Angela would spend the long hours wandering, alone. Afraid of what was out there. She was scared of going to stay at the apartments. She was terrified of taking anyone up on their charity. The minute she did that, she would feel obliged to pay them back, after all.. And people always wanted something back, in return for their good deeds. It made the girl sick to her stomach, even thinking about it.

But the days were long, and the girl was tired. She was hungry. She felt close to collapsing, and would surely have done so if it weren't for the fact that the monsters could, and would come out to play at any time. She couldn't let herself fall; not unless she wanted to die.

And Angela did. Just not by the hand of someone, or something that wasn't her.

Her constant wandering, afraid of burdening others. Afraid of accepting help. She couldn't do it anymore. She'd come close to dying too many times. Her legs were shaking, and she was dehydrated from running so much. And she remembered that man... Harry, wasn't it? He'd said she could stay at the apartments. He seemed nice. Of course, everyone seemed nice, but it was a place to stay... right?

And so Angela had been wandering towards the Marshall Street apartments, still contemplating whether she should do it or not. Because once she did? There was no turning back.

And what if she just put herself in more danger? But what if it was the best decision she'd ever made?

Angela didn't know.
And so Angela just stood there, pacing up and down the empty street outside of the Marshall Street apartments. She didn't know... But she knew she needed to find somewhere safe, and this seemed to be her only hope. Trying to live by oneself just wasn't working out..
