Summer where it all started

Chapter:18

After Calum had left I took a shower and headed over too Michael's. I needed to talk to him. I threw on some vans with some jean shorts and a loose tshirt that happened to be Michael's. My hair was thrown loosely over my shoulders and I was pretty relaxed for what the talk that I would have to have. When I stepped outside it was pouring rain. I looked up groaning as the cold droplets of water hit my face at a constant beat. I rushed to my car slamming my door shut and slumping down in the driver's seat. The water was already soaking through my shorts and tshirt and I felt disgusting. Grabbing the hem of my shirt I twirled it around my index and middle finger wringing as much water as I could out of the shirt. I ran my fingers through my hair constantly trying to untangle the wet mess. I started shaking my head back and forth as a wet dog would and at that very moment the passengers' door opened. The water from my hair flinging right on to the person entering my vehicle. My head lifted to see Michael with a questioning look on his face. His hair was soaked as well, he had just decided not to shake it off like a mangy mutt, it stuck to his forehead almost like it was glued. His Nirvana band tee that he had on was starting to stick to his body outlining his perfectly shaped abdomen.His pants hung low and I'm sure as he sat there, they were starting to stick too.

"Should I even ask why you look like my dog right now?" He asked laughing as the words came out.

"Should I even ask you why you've entered my car without asking?" I said back crossing my arms throwing him attitude for a reason that I didn't have.

Michael smiled at my attitude "Touché but I just came here to talk to you." He looked down at his lap running his thumb over the anchor tattoo on his opposite thumb, "I miss you." he stuttered out making me quiver on the inside. God this was killing me.

I grabbed his hand rubbing the pad of my thumb repeatedly over the top of his hand. "I miss you too." I smiled now looking at his eyes and not the middle of his head. His eyes weren't the usual bright green orbs they usually were but they weren't the dreary dark green they had been when his fist hit me in the face. "I also miss Calum. I love you and I also love Calum." There goes that eye color. I retracted my hand from his and sat back in the seat. "I need time to chose and it'll be really hard to but after I do that'll be it there will be no more going back and forth, no more cheating, none of that."

Michael slumped back in the seat roughly sighing as he did so. "Ok that's fine." He said rolling his eyes as he buckled his seat belt.

I glared at him following his hands as he pulled the strap to the belt and pushed it in waiting for the click. "Um what are you doing?" I asked starting to blush.

He shrugged "I don't know let's go somewhere."

I gulped and nodded before buckling my own seatbelt and starting the car.

We had driven for hours upon hours, it was now beginning to look dark outside.

"Michael I'm tired I don't wanna drives anymore." I whined closing my eyes and taking both hands off the wheel. Michael gasped grabbing the steering wheel in a fast manner.

"Fucking hell Ashley you cannot do that." He said as I took the steering wheel back in my hands.

"Sorry sorry I just am tired I've been sick lately I can't sleep, I've been gaining weight and it's making me feel so fat, I've been lightheaded, oh my god I had a piece of pizza with orange juice and a can of whip cream for breakfast this morning, I'm so sick. Plus I've been driving around town for hours and I feel like I could puke" Just as I uttered that last word I stuck my head out the window and hurled up everything I had eaten that day. Michael's hands flew to the steering wheel in panic and drove us to the side of the road.

"Are you pregnant?" Michael's eyes aquestioned me worriedly.
