Starting Over • m.c

Chapter 18

The plane finally lands, I get off the plane and leave the airport. I catch a cab to the hospital that Angie is in. Some many things running through my mind, I just pray that she's okay. And man, I hope she forgives me.

I get to the hospital and I ask the receptionist where Angie is. I grab the elevator to the 4th floor, running through the people and waiting so impatiently in the elevator. I just need to see her. The elevator comes to a stop and I find Angie's room. I see Maria coming down the hall with a coffee in her hand, and I hear loud talking coming from Angie's room.

"Michael..?" Maria says as she looks up to see me.

"Hi.. Uhmm how is she?"

"She's doing alright. she would be better if her parents would just leave.." That must be who I hear half yelling at her. "Why are you here by the way?"

"Ash told us what happened and I had to see h-"

"JUST GET THE FUCK OUT!" I'm interrupted by yelling coming from Angie's room. Maria and I rush into Angie's room to see what happened.

"Who is this?" Angie's dad says while pointing at me.

"I'm Michael, Angie's-"

"Ex" yet again interrupted by Angie. "And Michael these are my parents, and they are just leaving" she says stern and mad, like I've never heard before. Her parents leave and Angie is just starring at me.

ANGIE'S P.O.V

"You fucked up again didn't you, Angie?" My dad says "god. When are you going to learn? You are 20 years old and nothing has changed! You're still the same immature little girl"

"You seriously need to stop going out and drinking and being irresponsible! Are you ever going to grow up and realize that nothing good ever happens when you drink!" My mum adds in. Man I wish they would just leave. They haven't even said "glad your okay" or "I love you, Angie! I'm so sorry what happened to you" they've just been nagging at me the whole time.

"Do you not remember what happened to your best friend? You.. You.. Nevermind" my dad stops himself from saying something he will regret.

"I what? What did I do dad?? Come on say it! I killed my best friend in an accident??" Tears started rushing down my face, I felt both anger and grief.

"Yes since you killed your best friend, Angie! There you happy? I said it! And I thought you learned your lesson!" Hearing my dad say it made me hate him even more.

"JUST GET THE FUCK OUT!" I'm sick and tired of hearing my parents yell at me. I'm done with their bullshit. I feel bad enough as it is, I don't need them to make me feel worse. I close my eyes, to stop the tears, and hope that when I open them my parents are gone.

"Who is this?" I hear my dad say. Before I could look to see I hear his voice.

"I'm Michael. Angie's-"

"Ex" I say in complete shock, why is he here? I turn my mind back to the hate of my parents, "and Michael these are my parents, and they are just leaving." My parents leave and my mind switches back to Michael.

"I'll go get another coffee" Maria says, obviously seeing that Michael and I need to talk. Maria exits and then it was just Michael and I.

"Angie before you say anything"

"No Michael. How the fuck could you do that to me??" I interrupt him again.

"How could I do that to you? How could you dump me and then go and fuck around with Andy?!?"

"I talked to Andy once after me and you broke up because he came to apologize for what he did to me!" I'm furious that Michael would even think that I would get back together with Andy.

"He apologized? Did you accept it?"

"Yes.. Why do you care?" We were suddenly talking quieter and calmer than we were.

"He cheated and hit you.. And you forgave him?" Michael sounded how he always did when he wanted to protect me.

"Michael! This isn't about me and Andy! This about you and that skank!!" A tear came down my face as I thought back to what happened.

"Nothing happened between me and her! And plus I only did it because I thought you were fucking around with Andy!"

"You saw one picture of Andy and I hugging and you go out and pick up some chick to fuck?? God Michael! You are just like when I met you.." Why did I ever like him? He's just a player. And to think I thought he changed, I thought he would stop playing around with girls. I'm so stupid.

"I'm not anything like that anymore, Angie! Nothing happened between me and that girl. Yes, I brought her back to my room.. But I told her to leave right when we got there because I couldn't stop thinking of you! I love you Angie! And I'm so so sorry. Please forgive me." I could see that he was really sorry, but how could I trust him?

"... How the hell can I trust you?"

"If you can't trust Michael. Trust me, Angie." I hear a familiar voice come from the door.
