Angel's POV

I sit in the car with Fp and Cheryl as we head to pops, I decided to go in a separate car because this is already an awkward situation and driving with them was NOT and option I was taking

"Dad you couldn't seriously think this was a good idea....I already agreed to meeting my mother for lunches without Veronica....why are we having dinner with them both" I complain and Fp sighs

"Because Angel....you and your mother are making things work and maybe you need to a little push to make it work with Veronica...I know what she said was...awful trust me I'm on your side but.....holding hate is never healthy" Fp says and I sigh heavily

"But she's still delusional....hopefully less since I told her about you and I being father and daughter" I say causing Fp to quickly look at me then the road

"You WHAT!" Cheryl and Fp yell causing me to jump

"I'm sorry ok but it's been killing me to not tell her already...I gave my mother plenty of time to tell Veronica what's been going on but she's punk'd out every time..she at the very least deserves to know" I explain causing them both to sigh

"Welll...sounds like you don't hate her too much if you still care about her knowing things she should know" Cheryl says and I give her a small glare causing her to roll her eyes

"You know I'm right Angel" She retorts and I shake my head and sit back in my seat

"Angel.....I wish you hadn't told her given that we're all going to dinner but.....she did need to know....just don't rub it in her face or anything at dinner...let your mother handle it at this point...please" Fp says as he parks in Pop's parking lot

"I will...trust me I don't want to have any more conversations about anything with her" I say and Fp sighs before turning the car off and getting out

I get out and open Cheryl's door before taking her hand and walking in to see my mother and Veronica sitting next to each other in a booth close to the door

They look tense and my mother seems upset and frustrated at the same time, she looks up and smiles at us, a smile that I can tell is fake

"Hey....beat you here..we haven't ordered yet though" My mother says and I just nod as I let Cheryl enter the booth first after my father grabs a chair and sits at the end of the table

"You did amazing...All three  of you especially you Angel" My mother says as I sit down, I smile weakly at her and nod

"Thanks mom....Also...who was that guy that I saw you and Da- Fp were talking to" I say, catching myself before I slip up

"Oh uh....that was an old friend from school but um...how have you been" My mom says as she looks from Fp to me, I look at them skeptically before facing my mother yet again

"Uh...been good....just trying to get through school....how..how are you" I say and my mothers smile brightens at my question

"Good...better now that Hi-....you know...just good" She says and I nod

Was she about to say Hiram...is she happy he's in jail...no that's insane, she loves that man

"That's good" I say as I nod and look to my menu, i peak up a bit and see Veronica staring at Fp who is desperately trying to avoid eye contact

"Mom why is Fp here" Veronica asks and my eyes widen and I look to Cheryl who is hiding behind her menu

"I invited him because I am friends with him Veronica...anyway...Cheryl how are you sweetheart...haven't talked to you in a while" My Mom says sternly before smiling to my girlfriend, since she is the only one making conversation I will just pretend to look for something
