She awoke sleeping on Maria's lap the sound of the crashing waves awoke her. She yawned and got up. Maria was sleeping awkwardly. Maria's hand was resting on Mickie's hair and Mickie had been dribling. She could hardly remember the rest of the night after when Maria told Mickie that Cody had moved to NY for her. Maybe she had drunk herself to sleep thinking about Cody. But what if in her moment of drink she had told Maria the truth about what she thought of Cody? Maybe she told her what she really thought on Randy? and what she REALLY thought on Maria. She sneezed and it landed on Maria's lap. Maria stirred and started to yawn.

'Sorry honey,' Mickie whispered 'Go back to sleep.'

'It's fine I've been awake for ages,' Maria sighed and started to get up.

'Where are you going?'

'Home,' Maria smiled 'Want to come for a coffee?'

'Please I want to know what happened!'

Maria giggled and opened the front door, Mickie got her keys and locked the door on her way out. Maria and Mickie picked up a coffee from Starbucks they sat inside and Maria kept giggling.

'What's funny?' Mickie giggled thinking it was something like she'd tripped.

'I'm just remembering what you said last night, after I told you about Cody!'

Mickie's heart started beating fast, what if she confessed her undying love for him? What if she told Maria that she knew about the break up all along and that they'd kissed and had dinner together. What if she told Maria she thought that Cody wasn't right for her and was only good for people like her? Her face drooped she didn't know what to say, Maria was still giggling sipping her coffee nearly spitting it out in Mickie's face.

'Uhm, what?'

Maria spurt out the sip of coffee she'd just taken.

'You don't remember?' Maria asked tears welling up in her eyes with laughter.

'No,' Mickie said innocently 'Was it bad?'

Maria shook her head and sipped her drink once more, with more serious in her face this time. She turned to Mickie who was tapping the table making a tune and kept checking her blackberry for any e-mails.

'You just told me you thought Cody was a fucking asshole dickhead bitch who needs to go and shit on himself.'

Mickie was shocked she could be so vile about someone while she was drunk.

'Seriously?'

'No thats what I think on Cody,' Maria giggled 'It was a very serious conversation, I just think it's funny that you told me what you think of me and Cody!?'

Mickie didn't know which she liked more being so vile about the love of her life or telling Maria what she really thought about them together. But then, she knew what she thought of them being together but not her drunk mind. Maybe her drunk mind told them to be together to get married and have babies.

'Good or bad?' She asked friviously

'Good,' Maria laughed 'You told me that....'

Maria paused as she looked around the room and beckoned Mickie closer.

'You told me that you think we're destined to be together, we're perfect for eachother and that he probably didn't mean what he said and just did it to get his own back on something I'd done - which you didn't know and nor do I,' Maria smiled and touched Mickie's arm.

Mickie sheepishly smiled and took a sigh with relief, but this was all a front. She didn't want them to be together at all. They where the worst couple she'd ever come across or maybe they where perfect but she had just never gotten over Cody. Maybe that's why Randy cheated on her? Because he knew that Cody loved Mickie really and thought they should be together and was doing it for his ownback on Mickie. Too many things where running around Mickie's head. She didn't know what to think. Maybe her drunk mind was telling the truth and her mind was telling her lies. Maybe she didn't REALLY love Cody and just wanted to cuddle every once in a while and tell them all her problems or maybe she just wanted someone to love her and to care for her. She didn't know she shook her head and looked down at the table while Maria went over to the other side of the room as she'd seen some friends from her college. They cooe'd and fussed, Mickie would never do this it was too laa-di-da for her. She imagined being back in Virgina with her horses and seeing her father and her brother. She quickly went over to Maria to tell her she was going and left. As she walked along the streets of LA unaware of where she was going just letting her mind lead her wherever she got out her phone and started to call her brother.

'Hey,' She sniffed.

'Mickie?' Adam asked 'You sound upset, what's up?'

'Oh nothing - it's just my lifes a mess, I need someone to talk too....'

'What about Randy, where's Randy?'

She gasped she'd completley forgotten to tell Adam or her family that she'd broken up with Randy. She felt like a bad daughter and a bad sister and a bad person... she hadn't even been in contact with them for that.

'Oh Adam,' She cried looking around the streets to see if anyone was looking which they weren't 'Me and Randy we broke up... he cheated on me!'

'Oh my god,' Adam squeeled 'What happened?'

'I don't want to go on about it,' She said 'I'm sorry...'

'It's fine, Mickie - I'm really sorry I've got to go I was kinda in the middle of something!'

'Oh god - I'm really sorry, I'll speak to you later.'

and with that she hung up. She sat down at a food court and ordered a milkshake and sipped it slowly while day dreaming looking out into the wilderness. Although she checkede her phone every couple of minutes to check if she'd missed any calls.

She was interupted by someones hands covering her eyes.

'Guess who?' A familiar voice said.

'Randy!' She squealed.

'Hey beautiful,' He said and sat on the other side of the table.

'I love this place,' She said looking around 'So 50's'

'Yeah I love it too,' He said and put out his hand on the table waiting for her to intwine her hands too.

'I remember when we met here,' She smiled 'It was the best.'

'Tell me about it, with your silly little question.'

They giggled for hours about it, making other sayings she coulda said to make it even weirder. It was just like the old times, she loved it.

'I've missed you so much,' She cried.

He jumped out of his seat and sat next to her cuddling her like no tomorrow.

'Me too,' He whispered in her ear 'I'm sorry.'

A tear fell onto her cheek, and slowly trickled down her face onto her lip. Randy let go of her and put his big hands onto her shoulder and looked into her eyes he leant in for a kiss and Mickie did too. It was the best, it was normal.

Someone tapped her on the shoulder once more and she looked back.

'Sorry honey it's closing time,' Said a big lady with an apron on holding a mop and bucket.

'Ah OK I'm sorry.. I was just,' She looked to her side and forward Randy had dissapared. 'Dreaming!'

'Ah we all do it sweetheart, I remember when I was your age they'd call me dreamy dory,' She laughed.

Mickie laughed and picked up her bag and coat and exited through the door. She looked at her phone it was 1 AM she didn't know where she was and she didn't have a car. She stood helplessly on the roadside looking around for someone she could ask for help, she tried to ask a couple of people but there was no one that stopped or knew where she lived. She was lost and all she wanted was Randy. She found a bar, maybe she could ask them where she had to go and have a drink too. It was very dark and dingy, nothing like she'd been into before. She went down the stairs to see hardly anyone in there and as she opened the creaky door everybody turned around. She felt pressure, she didn't know what to do. She went and sat by the bar. Her phone beeped.

'Call Me - Randy'

Randy wanted her to call him? She always used to get these texts from him after they'd broken up but ever since she'd moved back to LA she'd never get them. She asked for a coke, and dialled his number in. It rang through until probably the last ring and he picked up.

'Mickie,' He said 'You called me?'

'Yeah.... I was thinking about you anyway.'

'You where?' He smiled to himself he didn't think she was gonna call and ran to the phone when he did hear it ring and when he saw Mickie's number pop up on the caller ID he had to answer it ASAP.. he was excited to hear her voice. He felt like just giving her a big hug. The next thing she knew she had got plane tickets to New York and was packing up to get on a plane. Kelly was round sitting holding her belly, which Mickie must admit was getting massive. She touched Kelly's belly.

'Are you sure you want to do this?' Kelly asked her worried about her friend.

'Touch your belly?' Mickie laughed.

Kelly looked up at her and gave her a look as to say what are you talking about. In all truth and honesty Mickie was nervous and didn't want Kelly to know so she'd hide it with an un-funny, dry humor kind of joke.

'You're worried Mickie,' She told her 'You don't know what to do?'

'I do,' Mickie lied pretending Kelly hadn't figured her out already.

Mickie DIDN'T know what to do. She was confused as she walked through the airport her best friend's voice re-calling over telling her she didn't know what to do. She got on the aeroplane, she sat next to an old woman who was very talkative. Which Mickie didn't mind since she wasn't talking to Mickie but was gossiping to her old lady friend who was sitting next to her. Mickie couldn't help but smile hoping this is what her and her best friend, Kelly would be doing at that age going on trips to different places in the world. As the plane landed in New York. Mickie got off the aeroplane and collected her luggage as she left the airport she went to get a cab she jumped into the closest one to her.

'Where you going too?'

'I'm going too...'
