Never Got To Say Goodbye

Chapter 7

"How do I look?"
I walked out and Donavan's face said it all.
"Pay for it. Pay for it now before you change your mind."
"Ok ok."
I texted Mikey we were done but he said he wasn't done setting up something and told be to go get something else too.
I told Donavan that Mikey was setting something up and wasn't done so we could keep shopping around for stuff.
"Let's go to a shoe store so you can get cute shoes to match."
"Kk"
I paid for the dress and we walked to the end of the plaza we were in to the next store.
"What type of shoes?"
"Have no idea."
"Ooh what about these?" He held up a navy blue pair of heels.
"I like the color but not the type."
"Girl you are never gonna be a drag queen."
"I don't wanna be."
He stared blankly at me and blinked twice,"remember when we were young and we promised each that we would be drag queens together."
"Yea but we promised each a lot of things. I remember we even promised that we would get married."
"Yea I remember, but the next year I came out to you."
"Yea nice going you ruined our plans."
He chuckled a bit.
"Thank you."
"For?"
"Loving me for me and not leaving or making fun of me."
"Yea your welcome. I'm guessing you dad still hasn't said anything to you."
"No." He said as he look through his messages and hit on his dads name and saw it was still on "read" from two years ago when he came out. "No."
I saw how upset he was so I changed the subject.
"What about these?" I held up a navy blue pair and white pokadoted flats.
"Damn girl. You got a good eye today."
I smiled a bit.
I heard Donavan's phone start to ring.
"Hello?
Oh hey babe.
No I'm not doing anything."
"Hey thanks I said."
He put his finger up to his lips.
"Yea that's cemantha.
We're shopping.
At the plaza downtown.
Sure we can do that.
Ok see you soon.
Yup love you too bye.
We are gonna go get froyo you wanna come with."
"Yea sure."
"Good cuz I already told him you were coming."
I laugh a bit and went to pay for my shoes.
We walked out and I got a text:
Mickey🐭💣: Hey I'm ready whenever you are
Me: Donavan and his boyfriend and I are going for froyo You wanna come and then we can just leave from there
Mickey🐭💣: Yea sure I haven't seen them in a while
Me: ok see you soon
Mickey🐭💣: did you get ur dress?
Me: yea and shoes
Mickey🐭💣: ok lol put it on and I'll see you soon
Mickey🐭💣:i love you 😘
Me: love you too 😘
"It's gonna be a double date I guess."
"Yup."
"Do you think Dakota will mind?"
"No he hasn't seen Mikey in a while so he shouldn't care. Oh go ask if you can use their back room to change."
"K."
"I'll wait out here."
"Kk"
I walked back in and since I was friends with the cashier he let me use the back room.
"Thanks" I said before he shut the door behind me.
I put the dress on and it went down to about three inches above my knees.
And slipped on my new shoes. I did my hair in a quick side braid and walked out.
"How do I look?" I saw Donavan's shocked and ghostly face
"What's wrong?" I asked confused then I realized what he was staring at. I never told Donavan about my scars.
"It's not what you think." I said quickly
"How long?" His voice low and angry
"Don-"
"How...long?"
"A week maybe."
He shook his head and look out at the distance.
We stood there for a minute.
"You never thought to tell me?"
"Donavan I did but not like this."
"When? We used to tell each other everything and just because I'm home schooled now doesn't mean I'm gonna stop caring. Did you tell him?"
I was guessing he was referring to Mikey.
"Yea."
His eyes started to water.
"I'm glad you could replace me so easily."
"I DIDN'T REPLACE YOU."
I was causing a scene but I didn't care.
"THEN WHAT WAS THAT STUNT IN THERE SAYING I RUINED EVERYTHING."
"IT WAS A JOKE."
We both had tears rushing down our faces.
"Just like our friendship it was all just a joke. Just like you. I didn't ruin anything you did. You're a fake and a liar. I wish we never became friends."
He turned around and left.
"You don't mean that." I shouted as I ran after him.
"Stop trying to pretend like you cared I know you didn't or else you would have told me before you told anyone."
"I didn't wanna tell anyone."
"Maybe you shouldn't have because then you would have been dead instead of us having this fight."
I took a step back surprised by what he said.
"Goodbye." He said took five steps and stopped as I said
"I'll miss you."
He only stopped for a second turned to look at me over his shoulder and said,
"No you won't." and walked away.
I felled to the ground on my knees and started crying and crying and I didn't stop until I herd running feet coming toward me and stop right in front of me. Arms came around me and hugged me.
"Babe?"
I didn't know it was Mikey until he said that.
I looked up and cried even more.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"W-we're done. H-h-he's d-done with me."
"Who?"
"D-D-Donavan."
Mikey looked shocked from what I said.
"Come on. Let's got to the truck."
"K."
He asked me what happened and I told him everything. Mikey held me in his arms for a while as I cried. I stopped at the end of an hour of crying. It hurt. I burned to cry. And for what because crying gets me nowhere.
"We don't have to go out tonight."
"No I want to."
"Ok."
I sat up in my seat and tried to fix my face because it was horrible from crying and all the makeup.
"I love your dress." He said.
"Thanks."
I smiled.
"Your smile is adorable."
I smiled even bigger.
He chuckled and put his truck into drive.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see."
I put my head on his shoulder as we drove through the dark.
He drove me to a small town and then told me to put on a blind fold.
"What why?"
"Just do it. I'm not gonna hurt you."
"Fine." I said like a little kid who was told they couldn't get a toy until the next day.
After 3 more minutes of me asking if we were there yet or not he finally said yes but I had to keep on the stupid blind fold on.
I herd the door close behind me as Mikey helped me out.
"Where do I step?" I ask but there was no answer.
"Mikey? Mikey?!" My heart started to race and I backed up into a person and jumped.
Mikey started to laugh.
"Babe I was standing here the whole time."
"Your a fucking asshole."
"You love me."
"I guess."
"Come on." He took my hand and lead me for what seemed like forever. Next thing I know I heard a beach.
"You can take your blind fold off now."
I did and I was beautiful he had a picnic set up with all different kinds of fruits and vegetables. He had a picnic basket set up beside two pillows a a small telescope.
"Babe this is amazing and beautiful."
"Yea...oh you mean the set up yea it is but not as amazing and beautiful as you."
I rolled my eyes but I still had a smile on my face. I pushed him in a playful way.
"Come on let's go eat."
When we sat down I realized the radio beside me and Mikey kept shuffling things in the picnic basket.
"You brought cheesecake!?"
"You love it so yea."
"You're so sweet."
"I know. Not to be a jerk or stupid or anything but how long have we been together."
"Um well 2 weeks ago we kissed in the janitors closet," I chuckled a little bit when I said the last two words,"so I'd say two weeks."
"Ok."
"Holy crap you even brought chocolate covered strawberries?!"
"Yea well don't make fun of me but I've never had one."
"What?!"
"I've never had one. My moms allergic to strawberries."
"Oh so you never thought to try one?"
"No."
"Well, there pretty messy so I'll help you."
He laughed from my sarcasm. So I fed him one.
"Holy shit! These are delicious, why haven't you fed me food more often."
"Yea maybe you wouldn't be so picky."
We laughed a little. He ate another one and stood up. "Let's go to the water."
"Ok"
He took off his clothes all but his boxers.
And I only took off my shoes and ran toward the water.
"Hey that's not fair!"
"It is now." I yelled as I stuck out my tongue.
He ran in after me and went under the water. He came up behind me and lifted me up and turned me to face him. We kissed for a while and it was so romantic I would never forget it.

After we played awhile in the water, Mikey lied down beside me and we looked up at the stars and talked.
"Do you want kids in the future?"
"Yea, you?"
"Yea."
"How many?"
"Two. Four at the most."
"Same."
"But I want a boy before a girl because the boy can protect her."
"Yea just like how I protect you. Can I ask you something?"
"Shoot."
"Wait look at that."
He got up and walked down to the water and pointed in the sky.
"What?"
"Shooting stars."

*Mikey's P.O.V*
I watched as she looked around for a shooting star. Funny thing was there wasn't one. I was ready I had to be this is the perfect moment. Come on Mikey you got this I thought. I told her I'd be right back. I moved the camera so it could see and grabbed the tiny felt box. "You got this," I said out loud this time, "You got this."
