Dinner was awful! Mrs. Jenkins kept making these snide comments about how her son was better than Alex and every time Alex would try and join the conversation she would butt him out. I felt so bad.
Finally dinner was over and Alex and I made our way to the door, but were stopped. "Wait! Jizelle, Alex were going to have dessert in the living room.
"I'm not really feeling up for dessert. Are you Alex?"
"Not really."
"Were just going to go upstairs. Plus I have to call Mira to see where she is."
"Oh! Speaking of which her mother called before the Jenkins got here and she said she wanted to talk to you. I asked why but she just said it was extremely important." Oh no.
"Alright."
NOT GOOD! I ran upstairs to my room with Alex right behind me. I called Mira's cell first. No answer.
I then decided to call her home phone. It's a risk but I have no choice. Her mom picked up, "Hello?"
"Hi, It's Jizelle."
"Oh hello Elle I wanted to talk to you."
"About what?"
"Do you know about the whole situation with Mira?"
"What situation?"
"Well....that she's....pregnant."
"Oh."
"Yes well she's on lockdown and I was wondering if you could tell me who the father is. I wouldn't normally ask you something like this, but she locked herself in her room and I never asked her who it was."
"Umm...Well I don't know if it's my place to talk about it."
"Elle I wouldn't ask this of you except she said he was coming but he doesn't know I know and I have to know who."
"Um...Well I don't know."
"You don't? You've spent your whole year at the same boarding school with her and you don't know? Oh and you're best friends. Who is it Elle. Do you want me to have to get your parents involved?" Wow I have never seen Kelly (Mira's Mom) so serious. She's usually the joking cool mom, but now she's blackmailing me?!
"No. His name is Damian. That's all I know." I feel bad lying but I don't want to say too much and have Mira or Damian mad at me. Well come to think of it I don't really care if they're mad, but if I were in her position I wouldn't want her to say everything that's happened.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Do you know how long?"
"No."
"You didn't try and stop her?"
"Well I think I was gone at the time. I had to leave for two months to help my parents move." That's the complete truth.
"Oh I see. Well I won't let anyone talk or visit her, except you, so if you want to take a day trip here sometime, you can come talk to her."
"I would love to but my boyfriend's here."
"Well I guess he can come too if you really want to come. Are him and Mira friends?"
"Not really." Which is true. Alex is still upset at Damian and Mira for what they did to me, but he acts very civilized towards them.
"Oh okay than its fine."
"I'll try and come tomorrow or Wednesday. Tuesday my family is doing something."
"Alright, that's fine. It'll be great to see you again sweetie."
"You too Kelly."
"Bye."
"Bye." We hung up. Crap this is just great. I can't really tell Kelly that Mira and I are on edge because then I'll have to tell her why and that will just get Mira in more trouble.
I went and plopped down face-first on my bed. This week is going to be rough.
I felt Alex sit next to me. He put his hand on my back.
"How'd it go?" He asked.
"Bad. Mira's mom knows and Damian is going to go visit them on Thursday and he doesn't know that she knows and Mira can't use her cell to call his so he's going to walk right into the lion's den."
"That's not good. I heard you say something about going there tomorrow or Wednesday."
"Yeah. Just for a day trip. They only live like an hour away."
"Oh okay."
"I'll go make sure it's okay with my parents."
"I'll wait here."
I walked back down to the living room.
"Hey mom, dad. Mira is having a crisis so I was thinking of going over to her house tomorrow or Wednesday."
"I don't know hunny. Would Alex be going with you?"
"Yes."
"Well than it would be illegal. You haven't had your license for over a year." Oh I didn't think of that.
"Jake can drive them!" Mrs. Jenkins piped up. Crap.
"Yes! Jake will you?" My mother asked.
"Of course I will." He said all smug. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him.
"Then it's settled. You guys can go Wednesday because tomorrow and Tuesday we're all hanging out!" My mom said. This did not go as planned!
I ran back upstairs, not wanting any more alterations to my plans.
I burst through my door and crashed onto my bed and screamed into my pillow. I don't care if Alex thinks I'm a freak or anything I just got to do it. I kept on screaming into my pillow until I finally was getting light headed. I lifted my head slowly, my hair was hanging in my face a little bit and I looked at Alex. "Feeling better?" He asked.
