Running Away From the World

Chapter 8: Girls Night

"Don't you agree that Evan Peters is hot?" I fanned over Evan Peters good looks.

"He's not really my type." Michelle shrugged.

I was over at Michelle's house. We decided to have a girls night in. I called Charice and she was fine with it. I can't imagine what Jeremy's thinking. Michelle hasn't mentioned her being pregnant. I haven't mentioned anything about Jeremy. I don't like to tell Michelle what goes on in my foster homes. Instead, we were keeping our conversations light hearted.

Jeremy dropped me off at Michelle's house an hour ago. Right away she had noticed that my attitude was ripe. Of course, she had asked me what was wrong. I had told her I was fine, just a little stressed. I wanted to tell her everything, but I couldn't. Maybe one day I will.

"You have to be kidding me!" I squealed.

"I'm more of a Channing Tatum kind of girl." Michelle cooed.

"Oh please! His looks are so boring. Evan Peters is where it's at!" We both laughed.

"Enough. Tell me, anything new going on? I feel like all we've been talking about is me lately."

"Well, there's this boy..."

"Tell me everything!"

"His names Ethan. We met at the hospital."

"Erm... Romantic?"

I laughed. "It wasn't an ideal 'The Notebook' scene. After that I ran into him at the therapists office."

"T, this is starting to sound weird. Are you sure you like this guy?"

"Positive. We are so similar. He's not in a foster home though. We kissed." That last part made me blush.

"Shut up!" Michelle squealed. She hit me with her pink fuzzy pillow.

"I'm not joking!" I hit her back and laughed. "Charice saw the whole thing though. She's forbidden me from seeing him. Mark talked some sense into her. Although, they both want to meet him."

"Mark, of all people? Did that scare him away?"

"No. He said it was okay since he likes me so much."

"That's good. Hey, um... I know this was supposed to be a girls night, it's just that I have to tell you something."

"Oh, that's okay. Well, what is it?"

I couldn't possibly imagine what else she has to tell me. She's already told me she's pregnant.

"I went to get the abortion this morning." Michelle sighed. She folded her hands together and looked down.

"How do you feel?" I asked, shocked.

"I'm alright. It was kind of scary though. I definetly learned my lesson."

"I thought that you wanted me to go with you?"

"I changed my mind. I decided it was better to go alone."

"Oh" I said, a little hurt.

"You know what we should do to get our mind off of things?"

"I don't know, what?"

"Go to a party" Michelle grinned wickedly.

I just laughed and shook my head.

"Seriously! You should text your boy toy Ethan and ask him if he knows about any parties."

"Ugh, fine."

I pulled out my cell phone and texted Ethan.

Teagan: hey, you know of any parties going on lately?
