Happy ever after? (A Sequal to love hurts?)

Change of heart

Janet's POV

After months of texting back and forth, Chad and I are finally going to meet today and I can't remember the last time I felt this nervous. I know I said I wanted to meet him, but now I'm finally about to I can help but feel nervous.

At first he wanted me to come to his house, but I wasn't sure so he agreed to meet me at a café on the other side of town.

I'm getting ready and there's a knock on my bedroom door. "Hey, I'm just letting you know I'm setting of for work soon" Rebbie smiles. "Ok" I nod the turn back to the mirror to finish my make-up.

"You going somewhere special?" She asks suspiciously "No. Just the libary" I lie. "So what's with the make-up?"

"Just trying something new is all" I shrug. "Why do you think it's to much?"

"No. It looks fine. I was just wondering is all. "Michael used to complain about me wearing it and kept making me take it off before school. He doesn't even like when Ocean wears it. You sure it looks ok?"

"It looks fine. And don't worry about what Michael thinks. Just because he doesn't believe women shouldn't wear make-up, it doesn't mean you have to. I was about you age when I first started wearing it" she smiles. "You want me to help you? I have a few more minutes before I have to leave" she smiles walking over.

"Speaking of Michael. Have you spoken to him about going back?" She asks, while doing my make-up. "Not since I went to visit Mikey. I'm going over on Saturday though" I tell her and she just nods.

"I have the day off on Saturday so I'll drop you off. Just call me when your ready to come home" she smiles at me through pursed lips and I nod and smile back at her the same way.

I feel bad lying to Rebbie about where I'm really going today, but ever since what happened with the bullying, she's been really worried about me talking to people online and I don't want her freaking out about me meeting Chad. We're going to be meeting in a public place so I know I'll be ok.

Once Rebbie has finished helping me with my make-up. She leaves for work and I finish getting dressed.

I look at my phone to check the time at I smile slightly, looking at my screen saver which is a picture of me and Mikey. I know I've been saying I wanted to adopt him and I know that he'll be happy with Michael and Ocean, but since I went to see him the other day, I haven't been able to stop thinking about him and I've been watching the video Michael sent me of him crawling over and over again.

I haven't felt any real connection with Mikey for months and I don't know if it was the stress from school or the bullying or just being a teen mother in general, but the more I keep thinking about him, the more I'm not sure if I really do want to adopt him anymore.

Michael's POV

"We are doing the right thing aren't we?" Ocean asks nervously, whilst staring out of the window. "What else can we do? Janet's made it pretty clear she doesn't wanna his mother. It's either this or a foster home an who knows who he'll end up with and she'll only get to see him once a week like we did with DJ. At least this way he'll still be in the family and Janet can see him whenever she wants and when she's ready she can always get him back" I explain and she doesn't say anything and looks over and Mikey and Princess playing with their toys on the floor.

"I just feel so guilty. We promised her we wouldn't let anybody take him away from her and now we're..."

"We're still keeping our promise" I cut her off. "We're not taking him away from her. She can see him as much as she wants"
