Disclaimer: The characters in this chapter belongs to Meg Cabot, except, Angela Taylor (Michael's ex), Scott Baker, Anna Taylor, Ryan, Bo Willis, and Dr. Durand Matthews. The song IF IT WHERE UP TO ME belongs to the band Rooney (I had to put one of their songs on here because of the person whole played Michael is their singer!)
Summary: Mia gets to come home, two days later she gets to talk to the person that she needed to talk to. This actually has Angela in it, if you don't like her character this part may change your mind about her, she's not bad. It also gives her side of the story of her and Michael. Can't say anything more or else I'll ruin it.
A/N: Thanks to everyone who's reviewed, I'm afraid that I'll leave you out if I thank you all indvidually.
VampirePrincess: Okay, I never thought that my 'masterbation' comment would mess up Michael's image. I put it in there because lets face it, every guy does it, and the fact that everyone makes Michael so good and he doesn't do anything bad. I guess I really didn't think much about it when I put it in. It was ment as a joke, to be funny, and 'cause lets face it, that's what a guy would think.

IF IT WHERE UP TO ME

~Chapter 11~
Helen, after stopping at Big Wong to get take out for herself, Michael, and Mia came back to the hospital. "How are you feeling?" she Mia as she passed out the phone.
"Much better, when I get out there's someone I need to go see." Mia said. 'And Michael loves me!' she was still glowing about that.
"Okay, that won't be a problem." Helen smiled. "Has your dad been by?"
"Uh...not that I know of, if he has I haven't seen him." Mia said.
A little while later Dr. Matthews came in. "Well, I have some great news. We got the results back from your test. There was no sign of forcefully entry." he smiled.
'Good! Now I won't have to forcefully stick my foot up Bo's ass!" Michael thought.
"And were going to let you go home." Dr. Matthews fininshed.
"Thank you!" Mia exclaimed.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Two Days Later
Even though it had been two days Mia still hadn't been back to school. Lilly and Michael were setting in G&T. They were finally getting a chance to talk, Michael had been spending time with Mia and the time that he wasn't with her Lilly was their. The past two days had been spent dodgeing each other, but not on perpose. "So, how have things been with Mia?" Lilly asked.
"Well, they were interesting. I told her." Michael said.
"And what did she say!" Lilly was trying to show to much exctiment but it was hard.
"That she loved me too...but that she was kinda screwed up right now. That there was someone she needed to talk to. She didn't say who though."
"Okay, confession, I knew that she was going to talk to someone." Lilly said.
"Who's she going to talk to?"
"Well, the thing is that her Dad's wanting to press charges against Bo. I told her about Bo being Angela's ex-boyfriend. You know who she's gone to see, if you think about it."
"Oh....OOHH!" he said. "She's suppose to come over tonight. I can't wait to see her."
"I think that you too are so cute."
"I wish she would hurry up and tell me something. I mean I know that I told her to take all the time that she needed, but I've been waiting my whole life to be with her."
* * * * *
On the other side of Manhatten....
Mia was setting on a subway, she hadn't been to school since Tuesday and believe it or not, she was starting to miss it. Today was the first day that her Mom and Dad let her out of bed, let alone out of the loft. She was a little nervous, not as nervous as she was when she told Michael she loved him though. She just wanted to get this over with. Mia needed to talk to someone, someone who knew what she was going through. Someone who had been there, that someone was Angela Taylor, Michael's ex-girlfriend.
Mia got off the subway and walked to Angela's appartment. It took her a minute to answer the door. "Come on in." Angela said as she opened the door. Mia could tell that she too was nervous.
"Angela, I'm sorry I'm bothering you. I just needed to talk to you." Mia said.
"It's okay, Lilly called me and said you were coming." Angela said leading Mia into the living room.
Angela's appartment was fairly nice. The carpet was alittle worn out and the furniture was used. It was clean, other that baby toys that were scattered in the living room floor. Laying on a blanket asleep was a beautiful baby girl. She looked to be about a year old. "I didn't know you had a baby." Mia smiled.
"Yeah," Angela smiled proudly. "That's Anna she's 16 months, Ryan split after I found out I was preganate. I really didn't expect him to stay though. He hasn't even seen her since she was born."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Mia looked down. "I came here because of a couple of guys. We'll start with Bo Willis, did you ever date him?"
"Yeah, about 3 or 4 years ago. I went out with him once. The night I met Michael. Why do you ask?" Angela asked.
"He took me out Tuesday night, to a party-" Mia began.
"At Scott Baker's appartment." Angela finished.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Mia asked.
"It's strangly fimilar. He tired to get me drugged on Blue Hawiian Punch-" Angela began
"Everclear and G.P.H." Mia said.
"Will he ever change?" Angela said.
"Here's the thing, he nearly killed me with the G.P.H. I had an allergic reaction. If it wasn't for Michael, I would have. My parents are really pissed off. My Dad wants to press charges against him."
"Sombody needs to stop him." Angela said.
"If I agreed would you testify angainst him?" Mia asked.
"Yeah, I would." Angela said.
"There's someone else that I came here to find out about." Mia said.
"Who?"
"Michael Moscovitz."
"I figured you knew him better than I do." Angela looked away.
"I've heard his side of the story, I need to know yours." Mia said. "We are wanting to began a relationship, but I would feel better if I knew the whole story, not just one side."
"Michael, finally realize that he's in love with you huh?" Angela smiled.
"How did you know?"
"Because, I could see it even when I was dating him. I was hoping that I could make him fall out of love with you. Somethings aren't met to be. Let me tell you something that I learnt the hard way. Michael is the best guy in the world, he doesn't run from his mistakes, he's loving, he's carrying, he's the best guy in the world. You won't find another, not in New York, not in the whole world. I would give up anything to have another chance with him. I screwed up, don't do want I did."
"Thanks." Mia smiled, almost shocked at what Angela told her. She was suprised that she had said that. Most girls when they find out someone is going after their ex-boyfriend would try to start a fight with them! (A/N: I know that from experiance!)
"As you already know Michael and I met at that party at Scott Baker's appartment. I was there with Bo. I had a lot of issues at that time. I was really stupid, I drank a lot, I slept around, I did drugs. I had finally desided that I wanted to straiten up my life. That I didn't want to drink anymore, I didn't want to do drugs, I wanted a real boyfriend. I thought that's what Bo was going to be, he seem so sweet when I first met him." Angela said.
"He's slimmy and munipulative." Mia agreed.
"He's an Ass!" Angela said. "When we got to the party is when he started to change. He started giving me those Hawiian punch drinks, and once I got started on them we smoked up a little. I did promise myself that I wouldn't sleep with him. It was after all our first date. Even though I was was wasted their was no way I would let him do me. So we got into a fight and he hit me. That's when Michael came to my rescue. I thought he was cute so when he took me home I gave him my number. After about two weeks of being together I knew that I was in love with him, I slept with him. I know that makes me sound like a slut. '
"About 5 or 6 months before we broke up we started fighting, a lot. It was mostly my fault. I got really jelous, really easy, mostly of you and Lilly. He always wanted to hang out with you all and stuff. Then, when I wanted just me and him to do something, everytime, it seem like FlyPaper was practicing, or he had to work on Crackhead, or he would be hanging out with the guys. All he wanted for us to do is stay home and watch old movies,
"Then, this movie I wanted to see was on at the movies, and I wanted to go watch it. FlyPaper was practicing, and I told him either he could practice or I was going to leave. He told me that practice was more important (A/N: Most guys who are musicians will say this, believe me, I know I married one). I was angry and hurt at him, and I wanted to do something that would make him angry and hurt back. I was setting at home brooding when I remember Josh Ritcher was having a party. So I went and did something I hadn't done in a long time. I got messed up,
"Ryan ended up being their and we ended up hooking up. I cried all night long, I wanted to do something to hurt Michael, but I ended up doing something that would kill him. I was so afraid to tell him what I had done. My mom even knew what happend, she told me that if I didn't get my act together that I would lost him. So when I talked to him I told him that I couldn't remember if anything happend,
"Then a moth later I went to the doctor thinking I had the flu and found out I was preganat, I did up the math and the with the due date the doctor gave me. I got preganate the week of Josh Ritcher's party. I told Ryan 1st and he made me get a blood test done. Then, I told Michael and he was so scared, he asked me when I thought it happend. I told him around the time of that party. He freaked out and said we weren't together that night because we had been fighting. So I confessed everythign about Ryan. If I close my eyes I can still see the hurt in his eyes. He started crying and told me to get the fuck out of his house. So I did. I know I should have waited for the elevatorbut I didn't I took the stairs. I rad down about thre flights and fell down about six. " Angela started crying. "Having a misscarrige is horrible, the most horrible thing that can happen. People tell you that you can't even tell when you lose it. I could I can tell you the exact moment when my baby died. I was laying their and a janitor happend to find me, I lost the baby when the ambulance people moved me. I could feel it,
"Mihcael felt guitly over what happend. He swears that it's was his fault. He stayed with me the whole time I was in the hospital. I couldn't even look at him. He begged me to try the relationship again, but I knew it was too late. I was really looking forward to having Michael's baby. I was hurt so band and I was so angry at myself that I couldn't even look at him. Because of that fall I wasn't even suppose to have any other children, they begged me abort Anna but I wouldn't. She was 6 weeks early."
"I'm sorry about what happend, I really am." Mia wiped the tears from her eyes.
"It wasn't ment to be, Michael was ment for you." Angela said. "He always cared for you. When I dated him I hated you because of that. I'm sorry, I really miss judged you."
"It's okay."
"You know, I would like for us to do this again, I mean if you wanted. I don't get many visitors, when I got preganate with Anna all my friends bailed. I don't have many friends left."
"I'll be back soon." Mia smiled before leaveing.
Summary: Mia gets to come home, two days later she gets to talk to the person that she needed to talk to. This actually has Angela in it, if you don't like her character this part may change your mind about her, she's not bad. It also gives her side of the story of her and Michael.
