Only Angel

~Chapter 3~

Genevieve's POV

I ran through the hall and down the stairs with Michael chasing behind me while calling my name.
"Gene wait!"  he yelled causing people to turn heads.

All I wanted was to get away from him.I looked around quickly and spotted August by the door and ran towards him "Gene what's wrong? Your crying." he asked.

" I'll explain later I just need to get out of here quick." I said as my voice went dry.

Before he had the chance to answer I grabbed his hand and dashed through the many people that were in our way until I was stopped by Katherine.

"Honey, did you find?" she asked looking in between August and I.

I was about to speak until a voice called my name causing me to snap my head in his direction

" I'm sorry Katherine, he's over there " I said as I opened the door of the house

We quickly ran out to the parking lot with Michael calling my name.
"Gene what the hell is going." he asked as we made it to his car.

" I can't help you if you won't tell me anything" he said sighing heavily.

"okay I'll tell you, but please can we leave ." I muttered my voice slightly cracking.

He sighed once more before he unlocked his car and we got in.

" where are we going ?" he asked turning on his car

" anywhere but here" I said as I looked around looking for Michael to see if he was looking for us but he wasn't. Probably his mother stopped him

"My place then." he said and drove off

We left and started to drive to his place.I took off my heals and rubbed my foot because it hurt from all the running I did.

A metallic taste was on my notice and I checked my lips was bruised and I little cut. Does she know you can't fight a pregnant lady. I touch my stomach forgetting I was pregnant and I totally just had a fight.

I tried not to think about Michael but I couldn't; he hurt me bad and the funny thing was that I actually thought we were going to last.

But did I make a mistake? Of running away from him, or running away from my problems. looking back now it seems so childish and all those people that were there witnessing everything mad me feel so embarrassed.

August interrupted my thoughts
"were here."

We went the rest of the way in silence. We took the elevator up to his place until we got inside his apartment

"Do you want anything? Food, tea, whine?" he said as he went to his kitchen

"no I'm good " I said as I threw my heels on the floor

"take a seat in the living room while I get change." he said before leaving.

I looked around his spacious apartment which looked more like a penthouse and looked at a picture that was on a table.

I remember this day so clearly. It was prom and we all took a group picture. We all were smiling and Michael was smiling not at the camera but at me and everyone joked saying 'he's looking at you lovingly.'

We went as friends and he wanted to be more than that but his reputation made me reject me until now and look where that ended.

I went to go sit down and didn't feel the pain of my legs till now. Life tip : don't ever run in heels; especially if your pregnant, but you probably knew that already.

August came back in his pajamas "so..." he began "what is happening because I was about to get laid until you came an-"

I cut him off " he cheated on me. " I whispered as my eyes watered.

" wait, hold the fuck up what did you say?because if my ears deceive me, you said he cheated on you." he said as he put his hand up.

"yeah." I trailed off

" I'm gonna beat his ass. " he said and got up from the couch going to the door

I stood up and grabbed him before he did anything stupid.
"stop, just leave it. you kicking his ass isn't going to do shit and plus I know your ass isn't gonna leave in pajamas." I said gesturing at him.

He smiled at the last part I said but it quickly turned into a frown.

"What do you mean leave it the prick cheated on you- fine,  know what. I'll leave it but when did this happened?"

"At the party I was looking for him remember, and then I went upstairs to check and then I walked into a room and saw him and Mariana together." I said looking down at my hands.

He covered his mouth "are you serious, your best friend Mariana?"

I shook my head yes "like a heart attack, and Mariana said it wasn't the first time they did this, which breaks my heart even more but they did seem drunk" I said  laying on the couch facing the ceiling.

" I know Mariana was a hoe but damn she crossed it wait, I thought he didn't drink?" he said.

" he does sometimes but hardly ever" I said.

"mmm so what are you gonna do?" he asked as he took out 2 glasses and a bottle of  wine.

"Well first of all I don't drink August." I said as he gave me a questioning look, only pouring for himself before putting the wine away .

" I don't know if I should forgive him and I'm also....carrying his child." I muttered clearly for him to hear.

August choked on his wine causing him to spit it out "hold up." he said a smile appearing in his face.

"your pregnant!" he yelled standing up giving me a hug.

I laughed "yeah I found out his morning."

Michael's POV

I messed up... bad. I ran as fast as I could to get her but I felt dizzy and my pace slowed down.

"What the hell was in my drink!?Bill go find her!" I semi yelled.

I apologized to the guest that I was bumping into until I reached the front door and saw my mother

"Michael honey, what wrong? I saw Gene crying and she left! What did you do?"

I grabbed my curls groaning " I messed up I did something that probably ruined everything."
I groaned opening the doors to see Bill out of breath "sorry sir she left."

"Michael, Tell me what you did!"

"I cheated on her by accident."

She smacked me upside the head
"How do 'you cheat on accident' I raised you better than this!"

"Mother it's not my fault this girl drugged me I can't even think straig-" I was cut off by me vomiting behind a bush

Bill came quickly over and took me to sit down on a bench
"Bill call a doctor."

Genevieve's pov

I saw August get all serious and I sat up because I knew he was going to say something important.
" Genevieve, you know I'm not gonna tell you what to do".

He sat up and rubbed his hand.

" I know I'm not good about giving advice unless its business but in this case it's not. It's about relationships and I don't have healthy relationships cause I have a different girl every night, but you should do what you think is right, most importantly listen to your heart as corny as it sounds do it.

I sighed deeply as I kept replaying those words he told me 'listen to your heart ' but, the thing is that I don't know what my heart wants.

Because your heart can be deceiving.
