~Chapter 20~

After a long, tensed and uncomfortable plane ride, they had finally arrived back in LA.

Carrying their suitcases, they strolled down the stairs of the private jet, which Angela-Rose leading in-front, Dominic behind her, Diego and Alex, and then Luke; who was all the way at the back, aware that she was keeping her distance from him more than before and even refusing to glance in his direction. Ever since her and Dominic had their conversation, he had noticed how spaced out and on edge she was and it remained like that throughout the rest of the plane ride.

As they stepped down from the plane, Angela-Rose placed her suitcase on the ground, and put on her sunglasses before looking ahead to see Cathy waving in their direction, along with Alex's mom; Samantha from afar. Beside them was Amy who leaned on a white Porsche with her hand on her hip and a wide smile on her face. 

The sight of alone had instantly caused Angela-Rose's heart to churn, as she was still in disbelief about her knowing about her and Luke all this time. She was usually a brave and confrontational person from time to time, but having to put on a fake smile and face her right then was something she didn't see quite see through happening.

"Wow I didn't know Amy was gonna be here, " Alex spoke, going to place his arm on Luke's shoulder as Angela turned to face Luke, whilst Luke and Dominic sneaked a quick glance at each other. Even though Alex had his suspicions from time to time, he was the only one who didn't know about Luke and Angela's affair and about the picture that was taken of them, and they didn't feel the need to tell him yet as they knew he would simply overreact.

"We should get going" Dominic cleared his throat before, shifting his eyes over to Angela-Rose who pressed her lips tightly together as the warm breeze blew her hair to the side.

"For once I'm happy to be back home" Alex spoke up, going to wrap his arm around Diego, who did the same, as they walked over to the others.

Angela-Rose turned to look back at Dominic. Seconds later, she shifted her eyes to Luke who gazed directly at her, and she took a deep breath, before quickly looking away and walking off, wheeling of her suitcase along the way. Avoiding eye-contact with Dominic, Luke slowly strolled of behind her, leaving him to sigh and run his hand down his face, before walking along.

As they slowly approached them, Angela-Rose watched as Cathy quickly ran towards Diego. She smiled a small smile as she jumped into his arms and as he twirled her around, before they pulled Alex closer into a three-way hug.

Samantha walked over to give the two kisses and hugs, before going to walk past them and over to Angela-Rose with her arms wide open.

"Angela!" she squealed joyfully, pulling her into a hug.

"Hey Sam, thanks for coming" she chuckled lightly, hugging her back, but her smile quickly faded away as she glanced over at Amy who hurried over to give Luke a hug and kiss and she held a lump in her throat, trying her hardest not to turn around to them.

"So how was the twelve hour flight?" asked Samantha, slowly pulling away from the hug.

"Very tiring" Angela replied, rubbing her arms, before pulling away.

"Dominic sweetheart, its nice to see you too, you look exhausted" Samantha uttered, going to walk over to him.

Angela-Rose took a deep breath, still refusing to turn around to look back at Luke and Amy. She removed her sunglasses and placed them inside her pocket, before glancing over at Cathy who made her way over to her along with Diego and Alex.

"Hey, I'm really glad you guys made it back home safe" she spoke, going to pull her into a hug.

Angela her back, before glancing over at Diego. She smiled over at him and he quickly smiled back. "Well I did promise you before we left that I'll take care of Diego ad bring him back home safe" she teased.
