[Now those of you more observant readers may have noticed that the stories name has changed. this is purely because I was going to have a song in it called crush, but now I've kinda decided that it wouldn't really fit, so the new song is spinning :o) its really cool. Or at least, I think it is!
Also, people have asked for longer updates. However, I have several chapters already written, so chapter 8 is where they should start to get longer ok? However this may mean that the update are a little less regular, but that's the price you pay for things like these!
ok, thanks to everyone who has reviewed, it makes me scarily happy to be honest :o). I'm meant to be doing my art homework right now, but I really cant be bothered! Nothing new there then… Righto, this is back in the normal time, and kinda were I left off with chapter ummm….the one before last anyways!
So read, enjoy and most importantly, REVIEW!!!! Ta!]
'Oh, yeh Judith's fine. But that's not what I came to talk to you about,' he replied, sounding distant.
Great, I thought, just fabby! He was going to tell Lilly about seeing me last night. Then again, she already knew I had been out, so I guess it wouldn't matter that much anyway.
'It's just I was thinking last night and…'
'You saw her didn't you,' Lilly said, cutting him off. I pressed my ear closer to the door to allow me to hear what was going on. There seemed to be a bit of and awkward silence.
Michael signed. 'Yes, yes I did. I was going into that old pancake house we used to go to, with Judith, and she was there, sitting at one of the tables. Oh God Lilly why did this have to happen? Why now?' With that he let out a frustrated sigh and slumped onto Lilly's bed. My pile of pillows and duvets had been shoved under the bed, so as not to 'arouse' suspicion. Lilly's words, not mine. I pressed my self even harder against the door, as Michael had moved further away, and I didn't want to miss what he was saying, as it was mainly about me.
'Just when everything was working out. You know, I finished college, I got a job, and I had Judith. Everything was working out just fine. Then she shows up and messes everything up. I have just spent the night trying to figure out stuff. I don't know if I've done the right thing now, with Judith. Maybe I shouldn't be with her.'
'God Michael have you only just realised? I never knew why you hooked up with her in the first place, and then when I heard you were getting married, I didn't know what to think. You and Judith are so different to how you and Mia were.'
Another pause.
'Wait a second,' he started, and I pressed against the door harder. Perhaps a little too hard.
'How did you know she was….'
CrAsH!!! The door to the closet gave way and I landed on the floor at Lilly's feet, with my arm twisted unnaturally behind me.
'Oh,' he whispered, as they both stared at me sprawled on the floor. That was how we stayed for a good few minutes. I managed to pick myself up and check the closet door was ok, but in the meantime Michael just stared blankly at the wall and Lilly scowled at the floor.
'So how long have you been back?' Michael asked eventually. He didn't stop looking at the wall.
'Nearly two weeks now.'
'It's all over the news that you're missing. Everyone's looking for you. But at least you're ok. I mean you haven't been kidnapped or anything.' Another awkward silence. I hated it.
'Michael, let me explain,' I didn't want him to hate me, [Wow that's some pretty heave rain…sorry, back to the story…] he had no idea what things had been like in Genovia. It had been three years of hell. I had to make him understand.
'I'd better go,' he said quietly, still not looking at me, as he got up and began to make his way towards the door.
'Michael please,' I cried. I couldn't just let him go. He needed to know what had happened.
'No Mia, just leave it,' he said, and then he was out the door, and gone. Again.
[Oooooooooo! Ok this is an insanely short chapter, but there will be more to come. I did write quite a lot more, but I thought that it would be too soon to have some of the stuff in it now, so I'm going to use it later on! Soooo yeh, review….and if u send a very nice one you will receive a shiny English sterling penny, a lot like the once I have here! But this one is mine….. :o)]
