~Chapter 10~

Phillipe arrive just as they took Mia to get the rape test done. "How is she?" Phillipe asked Helen.

"Don't much better. They just took her to do the rape test." Helen said.

"Oh," Phillipe said. "I called my lawyer in Genovia, he said that if we wanted we could press charges."

"Phillipe, I don't know about that." Helen said.

"Why not, that punk could have killed her." Phillipe said.

"Yeah, but we have to think of Mia too. It may be easier for her to forget about this if we just let it alone." Helen said.

"I can talk to my parents and see what they think." Lilly suggested.

"Why would we want the opinion of you parents?" Phillipe questioned her.

"Um...they are pshyco-annalists." Helen said.

"Oh." he said. "Who is she?"

"I'm sorry, Lilly, this is Mia's Dad, Phillipe Renaldo. Phillipe, this is Mia's best friend, Lilly Moscovitz." Helen introduced them.

"It's nice to meet you." Phillipe smiled. "Oh, you must be Michael's sister."

"How do you know Michael?" Lilly asked.

"He came with Mia when I met her the other day. When Mia ran out he sorta told me off." Phillipe blushed alittle.

"Yep, that's my brother." Lilly said gloatin alittle. "He's really good at that. He's one of those angry, teenage-male, musician types."

"I figures as much." Phillipe groaned when she said musician. The type of guy his daughter WILL NOT date.

A few minutes later Michael came in. "I thought that you went home for the evening." Helen said.

"No, I can't leave her up here. I feel responsible." Michael said.

"Are you the one that did this to Mia!" Phillipe turned on 'Angry Dad' mode.

"No, I wouldn't ever do that to Mia." Michael said.

"What makes you so responsible then." Phillipe interigated.

"Phillipe, Michael was the one who saved Mia. He's one of her good friends, he just happened to know where she was." Helen said.

"Oh," Phillipe said. 'I hate that kid! If he has any intentions of dating my daughter he better think again! Mia isn't aloud to date musicians! Helen might be naive and think that he's a good kid, but I don't! I know how those guys think! Hell, I am one and I know how they think! It's all about sex! He isnt' going to have sex with my Mia!' Phillipe thought.

"Ms Thermopolis, if you need to go home, I can stay with Mia." Michael said.

'The hell he will!' Phillipe thought. 'He's probley got a kid somewhere!'

"Thats okay Michael. I would rather stay here with her, your more than welcome to join me. I do need to go to the studio tommorow I won't stay that long probley until about noon. I'm behind on the work for the galliary." Helen said. "I do need to go to the house once Mia's back from her test."

"If you don't care, Ms. Thermopolis I'll just ride home with you." Lilly said.

"Sure." Helen said. "Are you sure that you don't want to stay?"

"Yeah, someone has to go to school and keep the gossip straite. I know they'll be talking about her tommorow." Lilly said.

'I hadn't thought of that' Michael thought, then noticed Phillipe stairing at him. 'What's Mr. Renaldo's deal? I wish he would quit giving me that evil eye. His is worst than Lilly's. That man really gives me the creeps, he's one of those scary kinda dads that shapen their knives and clean their guns when you pick up their daughter for a date. (A/N: my dad use to do that.) Not only that he's got Nortic bodygaurd that would probley kill people if Mr. Renaldo need him too. I'm gonna get wacked! I'm only 18, and some Nortic guy is gonna wack me because I'm in love with the Mia Thermopolis who just happens to be the Princess of Genvoia!'

A little while later Mia's bed was wheeled back into her room. After talking to the technicain that did Mia's test, and getting abuslutly no information at all. Technicians are allowed to give out any information with out the doctor's permission. Helen, Lilly, Phillipe, and the Nortic guy left. "How are you feeling?" Michael asked her.

"Okay, I guess. I would kill for a pair of pajamas though, everytime I get out of bed this gown shows everyone my ass." Mia said.

"No need for killing, I figured you would want something to sleep in so I brought you some of my pajamas." Michael said, pulling a gray tee-shirt and a pair of ble and gray flannels out of his back pack.

"Thank you Michael." Mia said stubbling out of bed. Michael help her to the bathroom so she could change. 'She looks so cute.' Michael thought as Mia stubbled out of the bathroom. Michael helped her to the bed and pulled the blankets back over her. A nurse came in a few minutes later and gave Mia some benadrel which in no time put her to sleep.

Michael pulled a chair close to Mia's bed and set down. he loooped his hand through one of the side panels on her bed and tightly held her hand in his. It was a comfort to him knowing she was okay. Michael leaded back against the chair and was drifted to sleep by the patterns of Mia breathing.

Alittle while later Helen came in. She smiled alittle then went back to the nurses station and asked for a couple of pillows and blankets. Helen gentally put a pillow behind Michael's head and covered him up with a blanket then set down in the other chair and went to sleep.

The next morning came quickly. Mia was woke up but a nurse who ame into check her vitals. "How are you feeling?" the nurse smiled.

"Like I was hit but a bus." Mia groaned.

Michael was quickly awoken but Mia's voice. "Mia! Your a wake!" Michael exclaimed.

"What are you doing here?" Mia asked suddenly becoming selfconsious then remembering him coming in the night before.

Helen was finishing getting ready for work and she went out of the bathroom. "Mia, I've got to go to the studio, I'll be back around noon." Helen said. "I'll bring you all some real food too." Helen added knowing how gross hospital food is. Helen left a few minutes later.

Michael turned and smiled at Mia, that's when she noticed the cut above his eye, then she looked down at his had that was still in hers, and noticed the bruises on his knuckles. "Michael what happend to you?" She asked.

"Let's just say that a aggresivly tought Bo a lesson." Michael said.

"Michael, you shouldn't have fought him. He's an ass-hole and he's not worth the trouble.

"YOu are though." Michael said running his fingers down her cheek.

"You are too good to me. I don't deserve your friendship."

"Yeah, you do." Michael said. At that point Michael knew that he couldn't take just being Mia's friend anymore. He had to tell her how he felt. He wanted her to be much more than a friend. He would give up his computer, his guitar, Buff the Vampire Slayer...okay...may be not Buffy after all she was his first crush, he would give up masterbating if he had too. Hey! every guy does it, and if they say they don't they are lying!

Michael got up and set down on the end of Mia's bed. "um...Mia there's something I need to tell. It's probley the wrong time, I'm not really good at reading signs and stuff. If you don't feel the same thats okay too." Michael rambled. "See, the thing is I like you a whole lot. Infact, it's more than like, I love you Mia." Mia's beautiful gray eyes began to feel with tears. "I'm sorry I shouldnt' have said anything."

"Michael, I love you too." Mia said.

"Really, your not just saything that to make me feel better are you?" Michael looked up.

"I have loved you from the moment I first saw you. But-" Mia began.

"I knew their was a but." Michael said.

"I'm really confused about alot of things right now. There's somethings I have to get straite, and someone I need to talk to." Mia said. "Michael, I want to be with you but I just need alittle time."
