When I woke up the next morning Mike wasn’t there. I didn’t want to get out of the bed today. I just planed to lay here and stare up at the ceiling all day but I didn’t get that chance because there was a knock on the door and with out me responding the door opened. I expected Mike to come in but it was Maria. She was already starting to show, I wonder how she going to do with people at school knowing.
“Were you asleep?”
“No.” she walked over and sat on the bed, looking anywhere but me. We sat there quietly for a few minutes.
“Do you hate the baby?”
“No.” I didn’t bother look at her either, I continue to look at the ceiling.
“But you hate me and Mitchell.”
“I’m angry. I’m angry at you because I told you not to get close to my ex and you almost had sex with him. You did have sex with my brother and you’re pregnant. You never think about the people around you, Maria. You think only of your self. I can think of plenty of time I always had to bail you out because you were thinking of only you.” I could hear her to start crying.
“Now that you are going to be a mother you’re going to have to stop think of only you and think of what is best for the child and Mitchell.” I felt the bed move then I heard the door shut. Great. I rolled over so I was looking at the wall with pictures of old crushes. Again another knock then walk in. This time it was Mitchell and I knew by his pissed off voice.
“What did you do to Maria?”
“I told her the truth.” I could hear him walk around the room.
“What did you tell her?”
“The truth.”
“Elizabeth look at me!”
“No.”
“What are you doing with you life, Elizabeth?”
“Nothing.”
“Apparently.”
“Thank you Mitchell.” I said sarcastically.
“You need to stop hating life.”
“And you need to stop hating me and let me pick the path I want. It’s not your choice. Your suppose to be my support group not the enemy.” he left without saying a word. I rolled back on my back to stare at the ceiling. Not even a minute later I heard the door open then close.
“Who’s next?”
“It’s me.” I was glad to hear Mike’s voice.
“Where have you been?”
“Down stairs, why?”
“People won’t leave me alone. Can you lock the door be hind you please.”
“Are we plaining on being locked in here all day?”
“Well I am. You’re welcome to join me.” he laid down on the bed next to me. We laid there quietly. Could feel the heat coming from his body and it make me smile.
“So do you have plans for spring break?”
“Probably spending my time at the beach with the guy.”
“Do you want to spend spring break together? I mean you don’t have to.”
“So does this mean you forgive me?”
“I don’t know. So is that a yes or no?”
“That’s a yes.” he reached over and gave me a gentle kiss. I couldn’t help but kiss him back.
“If Greece is our first start together and our senior year is almost over what will be our next step?” I couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s with the face?” he was still hovering over me.
“Mike I’m in your country as a guest, London is my home. If I do go to your college’s I’m there on a student visa. If I join the military I would have to join here. I even may take a year off. Or go to school in Paris”
“I’m will to follow you anywhere.”
“No you won’t. You have different goals in life then I do. I don’t want to rob you any chances.”
“You won’t, I haven’t any clue what I want to do? I haven’t even applied to any colleges yet.” I didn’t know what to say?
“Look we have a few months before we graduate.” I put a smile on, not knowing if he can see it or not. He enlaced our finger together.
“I want to spend as many days with you Elizabeth. I fell in love with you.” he loves me.
We, well I spend all day in bed. Mike would walk out to get something to eat and drink. We left the next day back to “home”. We couldn’t fail our last year of school. Dustin watched Mike like a hawk. Mitchell moved in with me and Maria went to school. Every one kept talking and either Mike or Dustin would do something about it. With all the talk Maria alway was crying and I was the shoulder to cry on. Mitchell and I were somewhat back to normal. Mike and I started our relationship slow. With an actual date and everything. I wore one of necklaces I found in the box that my grandma gave me. I miss her so much. Now I was waiting for Mitchell to finish getting ready so he can take me and Mike to the airport for spring break.
