Charlotte's Point of View
"Michael, I don't feel good..." I say as I feel another sneeze...
"Shit, Baby," Michael says as he touches my forehead "You have a strong fever...You can kiss your first day of work good bye, you are staying home today.."
"But, Michael!!"
"No buts...Now I gotta go to work, I'll be here soon...I love you"
"I love you too" I sigh
Michael leaves and I am stuck here being sick...Thank god Michael dropped off the kids at the daycare because I wouldn't be able to take care of them and me. I don't feel that sick but I think I am, because...My throat hurts, I keep coughing and sneezing.
Michael's Point of View
Charlotte is worrying me, but...I gotta concentrate on work...I'll handle her later. School already started, but..there's only 20 people, and there's supposed to be 28...They all called in sick, Gosh...No wonder Charlotte's sick too.
"Well everybody, Since today almost nobody's here...We will be doing something fun...Since everybody has been wanting to go skydiving, we are going to a little trip...I want you guys to get in a group of 10 people. Those people in your groups are the ones that will be with you the whole day...Now get ready" I announce
I hear everybody say..
"Woohoo! Mr. Jackson is the best teacher ever" or something like that...
Well, I guess we are going skydiving today...
Everybody lines up and we go into the bus so it can take us skydiving...I know when I get home and tell Charlotte I skydived, she is gonna freak the hell out..But, I've always wanted to go skydiving, So? Why not?...
*After School*
Woo...The students already left home, and I am packing up my stuff...I had fun while I was skydiving...
Charlotte's Point of View
I feel kinda better, I still feel kinda sick but at least I feel better...
I have to call Michael, I can't pick the kids up today..He will have to..
"Hello?" Michael says
"Hi Honey...Umm...How did work go?"
"Umm *nervous laughs* Good..How are you?"
"I'm good, I feel kinda sick but I'm good...Can you pick up the kids today? I still don't feel good.."
"Sure Honey, I'll pick them up..I'll see you later..I love you"
"I love you too"
I hang up and collapse on the couch...I feel tired as hell..
"Honey, I am home..." Michael announces with the twins in his hands
"Oh, Hi honey" I say, a little stuffed up "Thank you for picking up the twins"
"No problem" Michael says as he puts down the twins and feels my forehead "Well Well, Your fever has gone down..Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah I am, Kinda..."
"Umm, Baby?"
"Yes, Michael?"
He laughs nervously "I went skydiving today with my class...Hehe"
"WHAT? MICHAEL, WHAT THE HELL? YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT!!" I yell
"But look, I'm not hurt and I had a fun time...Why did you scream so loud?" He asks
I sigh "Sorry, I just can't look at that picture right now, I can't imagine you getting hurt or even worse" I gulp
He sits down and kisses my forehead and holds me "Baby, I am fine, you are fine, and the twins are fine..I'm not going nowhere..and I know what you are thinking...Don't think that, alright"
"Alright, I won't think that..."
I stand up and go to the twins..."Hello, Little ones...Mommy missed you guys a lot today..."
Michael walks up to me and wraps his arms around me "I missed you more"
I turn around and kiss Michael's jawline..."Was skydiving fun?" I ask with sympathy
Michael chuckles "Yes, It really was...You should try it sometime"
"Maybe I will"
Then, the bell rings...Who could it be at this time of day?...Me and Michael go towards the door and I open it...Not again!!
I leave the door and go upstairs...How can Taylor knock at my door at this type of day? I know Ryan told me to forgive her but it's been really hard...
I sit on the bed and feel Ryan's touch...
"Do you know why I am here?" Ryan says
"*sighs* Because Taylor is here? And I haven't forgave her?"
Then the bedroom door flies open and I see Michael and Taylor there...Damn it, Great!!
I think everybody can see Ryan, because Taylor is close to crying and she is looking Ryan's way..And Michael has a shocked expression on his face...
"Charlotte..I'm sorry--" Taylor says
I stand up and grab her neck and push her to the wall, almost choking her "YOU KNOW DAMN WELL YOU'RE NOT SORRY FOR WHAT YOU DID...SO SHUT THE HELL UP"
Michael and Ryan grab my arms and pull me back from really choking Taylor...
"Let me go!!" I scream from the top of my lungs, feeling the tears burn in my eyes...
Michael pushes me onto the bed and gets on top of me...
"CHARLOTTE, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
I push him off me and I sit up on the bed and point at Taylor "You may be my sister, but you're never gonna be my friend.." I say as I exit the bedroom...
I need to go somewhere else fast...I need to get things off my mind...I think I'm gonna go to Lindsay's house, she is great at giving me advice plus I could really use a shoulder to cry on...
*At Lindsay's House*
"Charlotte, Calm down...You already drunk the whole Whiskey bottle...What's going on?"
I take another shot of a Jack Daniels (Whiskey) and cry even more "She hurt me, girl...Look what she did to me...I know it was a long time ago but still, how would you feel for you to find your sister on top of your husband giving him kisses on his neck?"
"Damn, I would be hella mad at both of them..."
"Exactly!! You get my point...And look, I haven't drank like this in ever...Taylor made me like this...And look, after I gave her Raymond, she was happy and look what I get? She stabbed me in the back..."
"Look, Let me take you home...And calm down...Michael still loves you, I promise you"
"Okay, Sure" I say sarcastically
Me and Lindsay go to my house, she leaves me in my doorstep and leaves, I drank me a whole bottle of Whiskey and a Jack Daniels, and I don't feel drunk at all...
I go into my house and see Michael and Taylor sitting on the couch, in silence...I don't see Ryan anywhere...Oh well.
"Where were you? I was worried sick!!" Michael tells me...
Then Taylor gets up with a smirk and slaps Michael's ass...Okay, Woah!!
I walk to the kitchen and then I hear Michael screaming...
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!! YOU MESSED ME AND CHARLOTTE UP, AND EVEN MORE...YOU MESSED Y'ALL RELATIONSHIP UP!!...GET THE HELL OUT! YOU ALREADY MESSED UP AGAIN!!" Michael screams at Taylor and then the front door close...
I act like I didn't hear a thing and go to my room...I take off my clothes and put on my pajamas and get under the covers, the alcohol is making me sick, why did I drink so much?...Because Taylor hurt me..Duh?
The bedroom door opens a little and I see Michael...The alcohol is making me high, Oh gosh...
"Can I talk to you?" Michael asks...
"What the hell do you want, huh?" I almost cry out...
I stand up in front of Michael, feeling kinda dizzy...Tomorrow I will have a huge hangover...And tomorrow I have work, Well I gotta suck it up.
"Where were you?" Michael says
"I was at Lindsay's house, I was crying and I drank a bottle of Whiskey and a Jack Daniels, that's basically it"
"Why did you drink so much?"
"Geez, I don't know...Maybe because my sister hurt me so damn bad, and my husband let her do it!!"
"I'm sorry...I really am"
"Bullshit...I think you should find somebody that you love..."
Michael chuckles "I have already found her...She's standing right in front of me...I love you, Charlotte..."
I sigh "Alright.."
"Alright? Why can't you say you love me back, huh?"
"I can't say that right now..." I say as I feel tears rolling down my cheek...
Michael wipes my tears "Don't cry, please...I love you so much."
"I can't stop...My bipolarness and the alcohol isn't working...I want to love you, I want to stop crying, but I just simply can't"
I hug Michael tight and cry into his chest "I'm sorry...I love you too..."
Please, stop crying...Stop crying...Why are you crying?..Did you have to let it all out?
Michael caresses my back "I'll tell you what, tomorrow we are gonna stay home with the kids and spend time as a family.."
"But what about our work?" I ask
"Eh?..You and the twins are more important than any work..So what do you think?"
"I'll think about it...I'm not really feeling better, I love you but I am still hella mad at you...I'm just forcing myself to talk to you, but maybe, it will be best for all of us to spend time as a family.."
"It makes me so happy hearing that you still love me"
