the summer (a Mikey Fusco Love Story)

Chapter 9

He looked at me, shock filled his eyes and we both took off running towards our houses. Why had I just kissed him? He obviously felt the same way or he wouldn't have took off. I tripped over a bush, falling to my knees, so concentrated on Mikey to care, then it came to mind that Mikey's house was right next to mine. I called Ashton frantically, finally getting her to pick up. I didn't tell her why, but she obliged.

"What hapened?" Ashton pleaded for the hundred time since we had got in the car. I was too shocked to answer her so I sat there keeping my focus on Mikey's house in the distance. Much to my dismay, there was Mikey sitting on his front porch, head in his hands, looking down at his feet.

"You are gonna have to sneak me in Ashton." I whispered ducking down under the seat.

"How." She questioned a smiling filling her face out of joy that I had talked to her.Luckliy it was dark out so if Ashton could just turn the porch lights off I could probably just sneak to the back door.

Mikey's house was diagonal from mine, three houses away in our circle neighborhood, so this could actually work. I sat in Ashton's car until the porch light flicked off. I quickly climbed over to the driver's side of the car, which was opposite of Mikey. I quickly dropped to the ground and peered through the window. Why did I not want to see him? I hurried and got up off the ground, shutting the door very quietly and running to the side of the house closest to Mikey's house, the only side that I could jump the fence on, trust me I've tried already. I ran over to the fence watching my feet carefully, hoping not to trip on anything.

The fence was about 7 foot, and It was a challenge to climb, but its either this or use the front door, which is really squeeky. Also this fence had a huge bush in front of it.

I raised my barefoot onto the 2x4 going across the fence.Crap I forgot my shoes at the beach, along with my phone and money. Crap. Maybe Alexis is nice enough to grab them.

Once I got both feet on the 2x4 I started to whip my legs over the fence. I raised my left leg over the fence, so I could still keep an eye on Mikey, who was now staring into the middle of the street.

I grabbed the right leg of my shorts, lifting it over the fence, but my leg was stuck on a nail, I yanked harder but it was still stuck on a nail that I was basically sitting on. This really was a challenge. I pulled a little harder, kneeing myself in the face, and falling off the fence into the bush. I would have been fine with falling into the back yard, but the front yard really? "Shit." I screamed examining how my pants were still on the fence, ripped.

Mother was right, cuss words don't ever bring you anything good. After I had fallen off the wall and sworn I attracted the next door neighbor's dogs, who were now barking at me, and who had flicked on the neighbor's porch light, causing me to be in the bright light, easily visible by Mikey. I slowly turned my head in Mikey's direrction, "Crap." I whispered still holding my eye from where my knee had hit it. I looked at Mikey and there he was staring at me in utter shock.

I stumbled to get up out of the prickly bush and to my feet, fighting off the neighbors dogs, who were licking my face, and hair, and legs, and arms.I caught my balance, only to figure out that I had really banged up the knee in the fall.

I wobbled over to the front door as fast as possible in my pink underwear, picking the sticks out of my hair. I turned to look at Mikey who was still staring at me, he looked as embarassed as I was. I slammed the door shut and sat down there right next to the door.

A tear fell from my eye, I fell terrible. I had just kissed Mikey, ran away, then embarassed myself in front of him, and not one of those events, gave me pleasure, not even the kiss. Why had I kissed him? I didn't like him, and I certainly didn't like him enough to kiss him.

I closed my eyes and let the tears fall straight to the fall. Ashton walked over and sat next to me, our backs against the door.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Ashton wiped a tear from my cheek. As much as I didn't want to talk about my night, I needed to tell someone, and Ashton understood me.

"It was terrible." I started leaning my head on Ashton's shoulder, telling her about my night.

*Ding Dong* the doorbell scram from right above my head, making me remember Yesterday's unfortunate series of events. I hopped up from right beneath the door, and looked down to see Ashton right next to me. How did that not wake her up? She must be a deep sleeper.

I looked at my face in the mirror next to the door, I looked horrible, my makeup was all down my face and I looked like I had had an allergic reaction to something last night. It was proably the bush. I had red spots all down my face, along with sticks filling my crazy hair, and to top it all off I was covered in mud, and couldn't walk.

I yawned as I opened the door, it was Vinny. "Woah, you took last night hard, I see." Vinny smirked making me laugh at my own reflection.

"Come in." I said taking him upstairs to explaining the whole story, maybe Vinny would understand? No he wouldn't understand, because there is nothing to understand expect that I am being childish. I shouldn't have run away, and I shouldn't have tried to hide from Mikey, I've got to tall to Mikey A.S.A.P and apoligize.

"I sort of understand" Vinny said being very clueless, he didn't understand at all,he was lost, like usual.

"No you don't" I laughed taking another bite of the pizza I had cooked for both of us to share. I could eat a pizza and a half on my bad days, but I had to share with Vinny so I only had a few peices.

"It's kinda like Gabbie and I." He smiled taking another bite of his pizza.

"Gabbie? Who's Gabbie, Vinny?" I asked taking a drink of my pepesi.

Vinny swallowed, "My Girlfriend." He said nonchantly. Apparently he didn't share anyhting with me afterall. I though we were best friends.

"You have a girlfriend?" I was shocked, Vinny, a girfriend. I didn't think that Vinny had a girlfriend, I mean he was always with us, when would he even have time with her.

"You act shocked." Vinny said laughing.

"I am, but I'm so happy for you." I said taking another bite. " I want to meet her" I said excitedly with a mouthful of pizza in my mouth.

"Ok, will do." Vinny said getting up and walking towards the door. "Oh and heres your phone, wallet, and shoes" He said setting my items on the table next to the door.

"Ok?, and thanks for that very short visit" I mumbled as he walked out the door.
