The Abused

CHAPTER#15: Mixed Emotions

Me and Rebbie walk through the front gate and Janet immediately runs over to us. She panics,"Where have you been? Michaels been looking all over for you.. he though you left." My smile drops and I quickly look over to Rebbie. Rebbie says,"Don't worry I'll get her to Michael, I just needed help with my- I fell and my ankle got caught in the spike plant. That was surely a close one and India here had to help me because.. if I moved I would've gotten pricked."

I can see Janets face cringe a bit at the thought as she says,"Are you okay Reb?" Rebbie nods her head as she softly smiles. "I'm fine thanks Jan, lets just get India to Michael." Janet smiles as she hooks her arm in mines and leads me inside of the house.

We head upstairs and she stops infront of Michaels room door and she nods her head in the direction of the door before giving me a smile, and walking away.

I knock on the door and its silent. I open the door and I see Michael face down on his bed, and his back is heaving up and down rapidly. I step inside as I close the door behind me and I go over to his bed sitting at the edge. I'm sure he felt it...

But, he says nothing at all. 'I'm sorry Michael.' He sits up so quick I hop off of his bed. His eyes are blood red and he has tears all over his face. He says aggresively,"Get out! Why are you still here? You think my families wierd now don't you? Just like the rest you bitc- just get out and don't come back!"

I just stay there staring at him like he's crazy. He asks,"Why the hell are you still standing here?" Something just sparked in me and I walked over to him and I slapped him. He looked at me like I was an insane person. Now.. its my turn.

'How dare you say those things? If I left and thought you were wierd wouldn't it be stupid of me to come back? How the hell can you sit there with no evidence at all and make dumb assumptions?' He walks over to me right as I was about to continue and kisses me.

That immediately stopped me from talking. His lips were so soft and smooth. I couldn't even breathe because I was afraid to mess up this moment. But, his kiss was so passionate and then he pulled away.

The kiss was still lingering and I was paralyzed. I blinked and my eyes averted to the door. He said,"I'm sorry India. I-I uh, I didn't mean to. I just.. nevermind."

I finally came out of my paralyzed state of mind and I looked at him while touching my lips. Finally coming to realization, I asked him,'What was that for?'

He said,"I don't know I really, really lov-like you India. I do." My cheeks were starting to heat up really bad and I smiled so wide I couldn't even control it.

Michael said,"I'm sorry for blaming you India, I just.. I. I don't want to be hurt again... so I don't open up my feelings. But, you're not like the rest."

I smile at that. That was honestly sweet. But, he said he loved me and he liked me... do I feel the same way? I always feel happy or nervous.. maybe even shy when I'm around him. He makes me happy. We went from hating eachother to liking eachother.

'How do you feel about me?' He asks,"What do mean by that?" I say,'Well, when you were talking you almost said you loved me then you changed it to like. Why?' He sighs.

"India, I just told you.. I don't want to- look I just need some time to get my mind right okay?" I nod my head. I'm an understanding person so... It's totally fine. I just smile and I ask,'Can we get back to the party now? Crybaby.' He raises one of his eyebrows as he asks,"Crybaby?" I chuckle and I open the door.

Three bodies tumble onto the floor. Janet, Rebbie, and Latoya..

Michael laughs loudly as I just stand there shaking my head. Rebbie says,"Janet you're hurting my ankle and my butt." Latoya shouts,"Janet get off of Rebbie so she can get off of my hair!" Janet says,"Right, sorry guys. But, thanks you broke my fall."
