In The End

Chapter 13

Mikey's POV

So it's been about 6 months since Lilah and I made-out in her bathroom. We decided that it would be better if we try not to act on our feelings and to try and see other people. Since then I met a girl named Jenny. We've been dating about 4 months. Lilah pretty much became my best friend, but the thing is I love her more then I should. I was hoping by dating Jenny I could get over Delilah but that doesn't seem to be happening much. Anyways I'll get you up to speed on everything. Me and the guys have been helping get Rachel and Delilah packed up to move to Jersey with Frank. Frank and Rachel are engaged and having a baby. I met Jenny, and Delilah's 18th birthday is tomorrow. We are supposed to be having a BBQ for her birthday and we are going to invite the guys of Avenged Sevenfold. They're her favorite band other than us. She doesn't even have a clue. I've been keeping her out of the house so everyone can plan. They better hurry because she's getting suspicious. "So, Lilah." "So, Mikey." She replied. "So what do you want for your birthday?" I asked. She was about to answer when my cell went off. "Hold on?" She nodded. I looked at the caller ID and Jenny's name blinked across it.

~*~ "Hey, Baby? What's up?" "Mikey? When are you coming over?" "I don't know. Why? Are you ok?" "I need to tell you something." "Okay, can't you tell me now?" "I guess. Okay here it goes." There was a silence. "Mikey, I'm pregnant." "What?" I asked in disbelief. "Yeah.." "Okay so what are we going to do?" "I don't want it. I am at the clinic now. I'm getting an abortion, Mikey." ~*~

Before I could say anything, she hung up. I snapped the phone shut and broke down. "Mikes, what's wrong?" "Lilah, Jenny's pregnant but she doesn't want it. She's at the clinic getting an abortion right now. She actually had the guts to called me from the abortion clinic to let me know that she's killing my baby." I said and broke down again. "I may not have been quite ready to be a dad but I didn't want her to murder it. I would have gotten ready." "Oh Mikey, I'm so sorry." She said holding me as I cried. I held on to her as if she'd float away if I didn't. "Come on." She said. "Let's go back to my house and you can rest." I couldn't speak so I just simply nodded and let her lead me out of the mall and to the car. She drove us back because I know I was in no shape to do so. We walked in the house and without a word to anybody went right up to her room. When we got there I collapsed on her bed and broke down once again. I felt her sit down and I crawled into her lap like a child and cried myself to sleep.
