My One and Only

Chapter XXIII

I opened my eyes to the last place I wanted to be.....the hospital.
After sitting up I noticed Jake, Hailey, Daytona, Charlie, Melissa and Gavin all spread out across the room. Everyone was there but Mikey.
"Guys?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"Thank god she's awake" Daytona said walking over to me hugging me.
I hugged back but once she pulled away I looked around still confused "Wait why am I here?"
"Well you blacked out back at home so we brought you here and we're waiting on the doctor to tell us why" said Charlie.

"I see you're finally awake I just wanted to discuss with you what we think happened" the doctor said surprisingly walking in.
"Would you like everyone to stay in here?" he asked me.
"That's fine" I responded.
"Okay Ms. Aryana let's see" he said grabbing a clipboard sitting on a stool beside the bed.
"So basically we think the reason you blacked out was from withdrawal of medicine have you gone back on any of your medications?" he asked.
"Yeah I actually um cut back on my anti-depressants" I said looking down at my hands.
"May I ask why?" the doctor said looking at me.
"I uh" I struggled to finish my sentence.
"It's only for our information" he reassured me.
"Well I figured if I continued taking my medications it would harm the baby" I instantly then felt everyone's eyes on me.
"Some medications can typically hurt the fetus but in most cases antidepressants will not harm the baby. There is still a slim chance but it's not very likely" I nodded.
"I recommend you to continue on your medicine and if any problems persist don't hesitate to come back" He then set the clipboard on the table standing up.
"Is the baby okay atleast" I asked biting my nail.
"I assure you your baby was not harmed while you blacked out but we will keep you overnight just to examine you, run a few tests and make sure everything is in check. I'll be back to check in soon thank you" he said before shaking my hand and walking out.
I looked down trying to avoid conversation with the others but they did otherwise "So when were you gonna tell us you were pregnant?" I heard Hailey ask.
"My life has just been so hectic and stressful I'm sorry guys" I apologized.
Nobody really said anything "I just wish you would have told us sooner" Melissa finally said.
"Exactly like when can we start spoiling it" asked Hailey.
"I hope it's a boy so I can get him to like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as much as I do" Jake said causing us all to laugh.
We all carried on talking about the baby and them fighting about who would get the baby on what days for a good half hour.

My smile and laughter died down when Mikey suddenly walked into the room. It wasn't because of him though, deep down a part of me really wanted him there. It was because he had brought some female with him. I instantly recognized her to be the girl I caught Mikey texting way back.
Why was he even here and with her? I thought to myself.
"Sorry I'm really late" he said.
I looked over at Hailey seeing she was just as annoyed and dumbfounded as I was.
"Can I have a minute with Aryana by myself" he asked rubbing his neck.
I had no idea on what he had to say and might I add I kinda didn't want to hear it.
Hailey shot me a look before walking out with the others and I knew she was not happy.
As soon as the door closed my anger got the best of me "Mikey what the hell are you doing here and why would you bring that bitch with you" I asked sitting up.
He didn't say anything he just walked closer to to the side of my bed"Hello are you deaf what the he-" I was stopped by him kissing me.
I felt so right but also very wrong "Mikey stop what the fuck- what the hell are you doing you have a girlfriend?" he shushed me.
"Shhh Aryana" he said putting his finger on my lip.
He then leaned in closer to my face not allowing our lips to touch.
He had such an effect on me and he knew it too"Mikey no you don't get to do that you don't get to lead me on like you love me then leave and come back later on down the road no you don't get to" I said feeling the tears burning my eyes.
He then sat on the bed putting his forehead on mine "I know what I did wasn't at the least bit right and if I could take it back I would in a second" he said placing his hand around the nape of my neck.
"But the point is regardless of anything I've said before I love you Aryana regardless of how much you might hate me and regardless of my past actions I've fallen in love with my best friend, I've fallen in love with you I can't stay away from you please" he said as tears began forming in his eyes.

"Mikey you have a girlfriend how do I even begin to believe anything you just said you know I so badly want to" I said several tears falling.
"Please just trust me Aryana that's all I can say, I have to go" he said standing up.
I immediately grabbed his hand trying to pull him back"Mikey please don't leave" I begged him intertwining my fingers to his.
He squeezed my hand before walking to the door and leaving.
I felt my heart sink but I knew if any of them had saw me crying I would never hear the end of it. So I quickly wiped my eyes before they came back.
Soon enough all three of the girls came walking back in the room"What was that all about?" Melissa asked.
"Basically just another argument" I lied.
There was not telling what they would say if I told them the truth.

Hours passed and once it got late I told everyone to go home instead of staying the night with me because I would only be here for a little bit longer.
I turned on the tv and as I was about to go to sleep I heard someone walk into the room "The nurse has already taken my vitals sorry" I mumbled.
"I guess that's a good thing then" I opened my eyes surprised to see Mikey.
"Mikey what are you doing here?" I asked sitting up.
"I brought you food I figured you were tired of hospital food" he said handing me a bag from McDonald's.
"Yeah I kinda was thank you" I said.
"And I wanted to check up on you and the baby" he said sitting in the chair.
I was about to stuff a load of fries in my mouth but I stopped when he said that.
"What?" I asked.
"I know the way I acted before made it seem like I didn't want the baby but-" I stopped him.
"But what Mikey you can't just say the same thing everytime you fuck up"I snapped at him.
"Aryana just LISTEN for once" he snapped back.
I was taken aback "For starters I was beyond shocked and already stressed out that day and I shouldn't have said what I did" he grabbed my hand.
"All I ask of you  is just to trust me everything is so complicated right now but it will all change very soon you just have to stick with me please" he said grabbing my hand.
"Mikey what about your YouTube channel" I said.
"I will balance the two" he said.
"And your girlfriend?" I added.
"I have a baby with you not her"
I paused for a long time and looked at him and sighing "What are you doing to me Micheal" I said before pulling him into a kiss.
In all truthfulness I missed him I missed his lips I missed his touch I missed him just being with me.
He pulled away and ended up climbing into bed next to me as I ate my food and we watched tv together.
"So is it a boy or a girl?" he suddenly asked me.
"Um I actually don't know I kinda wanted to wait to find out" I replied.
"Well when's your next appointment so I can go with you" he questioned.
"In about three weeks" I said.
"I will definitely be there" he said to me.
I smiled kissing him once more.

For the rest of the night we stayed together cuddling and watching tv.
It was all so wrong but something about it felt just right.
