Chapter 10: Princess?

Chapter 10: Princess?

It’s been 5 months since I’ve talked to Mikey. Don’t get me wrong, he’s tried, but every time he would get within a 5 foot distance from me, my brother would threaten to tell dad. I really don’t want to get Mikey arrested so when he would come up to me I would point to my brother and then give him a sad smile.

I can’t get him out of my head, everything reminds me of him. I don’t get any sleep because I’m too busy thinking of him. I want him to hug and kiss me. I miss him calling me his princess, but what really bothers me is that I’m feeling all this and we weren’t even dating.

I look terrible; I have bags under my eyes from the lack of sleep, my eyes are always red and puffy because anything that reminds me of him, which is everything, makes me cry, and I don’t put in the extra effort to look good because I don’t see the reason to anymore. I don’t have Mikey anymore, so what’s the point.

I’m not going to lie and say that Mikey is doing great. He almost never comes to school anymore and when he does it’s just to try and talk to me. When I turn him down he just leaves school, again. The couple times that I’ve seen him he looked like shit maybe even worse. His eyes looked just like mine and his hair is messy like he’s been in bed all day. He doesn’t wear his regular jeans and t-shirt. He wears sweatpants and muscle tees. He even has some stubble like he doesn’t bother shaving anymore. It looked sexy, but still.

His eyes are filled with helplessness and sadness, every time I see him, I just want to run up to him and hug the pain away, but I can’t because I don’t want him arrested. I could never forgive myself if he got arrested because of me.

Right now, I was talking to Grace and Violet at my house about I don’t know what. I can’t have a normal conversation without thinking oh him. My thoughts were interrupted when Grace asked “What do you think, Dani?”

I gave her a sheepish smile and said “Sorry, I wasn’t listening.”

She chuckled before saying “We were talking about how we were going to go with you when you have to pick up the foreign exchange students from the airport and I asked you if you liked the idea.”

I nodded and said “Yeah, sure.”

She smiled and then Violet asked “When are they coming?”

I smiled at her before taking out the paper with all the information on it, my eyes widened when I read the paper. I looked back up at Grace and Violet and screamed “They’re coming tomorrow!”

Violet grabbed the paper out of my hands and when she read it her eyes widened before looking back at me and asking “You do know you have to go pick them up and drop them off with Mikey?”

Just his name made me tear up, how the hell was I was supposed to talk to him without bursting into tears! I started crying and that’s when my dad decides to open the door. When he opened the door he had a smile on his face, but his smile soon became a frown when he saw me. He hated when I cried. After a while, he asked “What’s wrong, Rosie?”
