Friends with Benefits (Completed)

Leaving

The whole drive to the airport was very quiet. Adrian and I didn't talk. The whole time, I was thinking about where we could go. I guess we would have to see once we reach there. I just need to get out of here. I can't stand to look at my mother. The woman who has been by my side since birth.

I can't believe, out of all of the people, that she would say that. She would always argue with my father, about stuff that had to do with me. Usually if I was to get grounded or not, for doing something stupid. And of course, she would always win. And I knew by then, she would always be by my side. Sounds like a stupid reason, I know. And I'm not sure if she said that, because she was upset about me losing the baby. Or about me being so young.

But either way, she should've never said that. Angry or not. Upset or not. I just lost a child, she should have spoken to me that way. But it's also my fault, maybe I should've told her a better way. Or maybe I shouldn't have told her at all. Maybe it would've been better.

I shouldn't have slapped her, or yelled at her. It just made it worse. But what I hate it, is that nor Adrian's parents, nor my father. Stood up for me. They just sat there like by standards. But I was too mad, to even say think about it. I would usually never run away from my parents. Because I love them so much. And they've done so much for me. But I just need to be alone right now.

And I decided to bring Adrian with me. I know he can make me feel better. In more ways than one. No matter if he's my friend with benefits or not, he's always my best friend. And he will always be there for it. And I think we both need a break, after everything that has happened. With the baby, with our parents, and with Jennifer. We actually never talk about the whole Jennifer thing. We've talked little bit about it, but not much about it. And I think this whole trip, wherever we are going, might help us talk about a lot of things.

Adrian, hasn't brought up much about the baby. I think we will be more upset, if I lost it a little bit later on. Especially if we'd known.

But since we didn't know, it didn't hurt as much. Of course to hurt us, since we lost a child. But, I guess I would feel more heartbroken, if I knew I was pregnant before I lost the baby. I always see the movies, where women lose babies. And I've always never really cared. Of course I feel bad for them, but it's a movie. It's not real life. And I also know, that millions of women have miscarriages. Or lose their baby somehow. But actually losing my baby, broke me. I keep feeling like I lost a part of me. Even if the baby was only the size of a peanut, probably smaller.

Since I was only pregnant, as the doctor said. For about two weeks. But what I can't believe, is that Adrian and I were stupid enough to get pregnant. Luckily, we didn't start this a couple years ago. And we got pregnant then. That would've definitely killed us both.

As I was thinking about Jennifer, my parents, and the baby. I heard Adrian say something. It was muffled, so I didn't understand. My eyes were still glued to the window, looking at the scenery around me.

" Melissa. Melissa. Are you listening to me? We're here. Are we going in? Do you want me to turn around?" Adrian said. I finally came out of my trance.

I turned to him and smiled. I shook my head.

" no, we're going inside. I need a break. Both of us do. We'll go inside, and find a place to go. Once we get there, we will get a hotel. And get some clothes. I wish we would've had time to get some. But we left in such a hurry, I couldn't be there for second longer. After what my mother had said." I said.

Adrian took his hand in mine. And he softly kiss it.

We got out of the car, and headed through the busy parking lot. Adrian helped me the whole time, since I could barely walk. But knowing that I was leaving, gave me the strength to walk quicker.

And since it had been a week, since I left the hospital. I've been walking a lot on my crutches. Even though they recommend not to, walking around had made me stronger.

Once we walked in, the airport was filled with people. Heading in all different directions. As we entered, there was a big billboard. Explaining where you could go. Florida, Georgia, Texas, Ohio, New York, Manhattan, Seattle, Washington DC. All different types of areas. I needed to get the farthest away.

" where are we going Melissa? We can go to Manhattan. I have family up there." Adrian said. I shook my head. Our parents can't know where we are going. If his family tells his parents, they will come right after us. I'm not sure how long we will be away, but if I want to be away for a month, or even a year. Which won't happen. I don't want anybody to know where we are.

" no, nobody can know where we're going. Let's go to Georgia. It's probably the place they would least expect us to go." I said walking toward the counter. We bought our tickets, and headed through security. After going through security we headed towards the gate. Our flight would be later on tonight, around 8 pm.

" thank you Adrian. I know it's a
lot to ask. To drop everything, and head to Georgia with me. But I needed to get out of there." I said.

" anything for you Melissa. And I could see how you were breaking down back there." Adrian said. I smiled slightly.

" to Georgia we go." I said
