Summary: Like I said, what happened after the last chapter.
A/N: I had a request from a reviewer to fix my formatting, so here goes nothing.
Chapter Four
Lela and Donna had their music
loud and their hopes high. As two of Baby's closest friends they saw it as
their duty to prove to her that she and Mike were meant to be. All couples get
in fights. Why couldn't she just put it behind her, tell him she really loved
him and go home? If you'd asked Baby this, she probably would've given you
plenty of reasons. Three of which were: she didn't really love him, she felt
more at home right now with Johnny than she had all year with Mike, and it already
was behind her. Right now when she looked at her future all she could see was
Johnny. Why would she go back to a relationship that, even in it's early,
idealistic stage, despite all the time and work she had put in it, had never
measured up to the brief borrowed time she and Johnny had spent together?
Of course she had had some
great times with Mike, and on occasion she had lost herself in his eyes or his
arms. But when she looked at him, the world around her didn't disappear, fade
out, or even dim. When she thought about him, she didn't get chills up and down
her spine, and most of all, when she spoke to him, she didn't feel she could
tell him anything in the whole world and he wouldn't laugh or sneer or judge.
Where as with Johnny she knew he would just listen, think, and give an honest
opinion that wouldn't discourage, or twist the motive around. When she was with
Mike, they were Baby and Mike, happy college couple. When she was with Johnny
they were Guenivere and Lancelot, seekers of the holy grail, or Mark Antony and
Cleopatra, greatest lovers of all time. They weren't down to earth, or sensible
and content. They were deeply, passionately in love and would take on the world
for each other. Mike would go to the Camelot for her, but would he seek out
excalibur? (A/N: Pay no attention to my random obscure references to King
Arthur, they really don't have anything to do with anything.)
