I guess I always knew that I would marry Micheal Guerin. That we would have a bunch of kids to make up for the family lives we had. I never guessed that I be a pregnant teen with an alien daddy, though.
The day I found out I was pregnant was after I had broken up with Micheal. Well, he calls it breaking up, but I like to call it a break because I know he's the only one for me. We'd slept together when I told him I had a demo deal.----------FLASHBACK----------I waited outside of Micheal's apartment to tell him the news for 2 hours before he finally showed up. He was carrying groceries."Look, I miss that thing with you and Valenti last night, cuz I have to pick up an extra shift," He said and even though I really wanted him there, all I wanted to do now was tell him about Dominique.
"Michael," I started, but he interupted me.
"And sitting in bars listening to music doesn't put Snapple on the table," He explained.
"Yeah, okay, well I need to talk to you," I pushed past him and ran inside his apartment.
"Later, all right? The Daily Show starts in 5 minutes, and I got Lean Cuisine to heat up," he said and started putting his groceries away.
"Your existence frightens me."
"Goodnight." He said gruffly.
"A woman from a record label saw me perform last night and offered me a demo deal," I said quickly before he kicked me out.
"A what?" He asked suprised.
"A demo deal. It's like a test run for an artist to see if they have any potential. They're gonna record 3 or 4 songs with me and they are going to pay for everything. Can you believe it?" I rambled.
"No." My Micheal, shocked again and sounding slightly hurt.
"Oh god, stuff like this happens to people like Alicia Keys or I don't know, Fiona Apple or somebody. Not me though, not in Roswell. I'm just, OH, I am just freaking out!" I suprise the both of us and hug him.
Michael holds up the package in his hands and says, "I got potato salad in here."
"Want to hear something really stupid, Michael? When Dominique, the um, label chick, told me about the news, the first thing I thought of was I can't wait to tell Michael." I said with a grin.
"That's stupid? Thanks," He said grimly.
"I'm sorry, wrong choice of words, but seriously, you're the first person I wanted to share this with. I've been waiting out there for 2 hours," I explained and put on a small pout.
"I am really happy for you Maria," He said sounding sincere.
I laughed and hugged him again. "MTV here I come," I joke and, out of habit, kissed Micheal. I realised how much I really missed him and kissed him again, this time getting a response out of Micheal. Before I knew it I was lifted up and we were headed for his bedroom.----------END FLASHBACK----------We slept together and, thus, ended our break. I wanted to be with Micheal again. I had to meet with Dominique, so I got dressed and left a note for Micheal explaining where I went.----------FLASHBACK----------"So Maria, do you drink?" Dominique asks after I sang my song.
"No."
"Drugs?"
"No way!"
"I mean, me, personally I couldn't care less, but the boys upstairs, they make me ask these questions," She explains.
"Why?"
"You know, just millions of teenaged girls and there allowances. Oh, how old are you again?"
"I just turned 18."
"Oh great, that's what you're going to be telling people for the next 3 years," She said with a short smile and I turned to see Micheal as he walked into the room.
"Michael!" I said suprised, but gave him a small kiss.
"Hey. Just wanted to stop by and see how things are going," He smiled slightly. He then noticed Dominique and stuck out his hand. "Hi. Michael."
"Hi. Dominique Lazar," She says while shaking his hand.
"Michael, he's uh, just--"
"I'm a friend of the band," Micheal said looking around.
"We're kinda in the middle of something here," I said.
"Nice space," Micheal ignored me.
"Yeah, it's passable in a pinch. Oh Maria, sweetie, you need to tell me when you can travel," Dominique said.
"Okay. Where are we going?" I asked confused.
"New York," She answered shortly.
"City?" Asked a shocked Micheal.
"Yeah. Well, if my people love what we did here then we'll record the demo over there."
"How long will she be gone?" Micheal asked, slightly sounding hurt, but masking all emotions from his face.
"Best case scenario, forever," She laughs, "She can bus back to this town when the mayor is gonna cut a ribbon for something"
I was shocked to say the least, but laughed slightly.
"New York?" Micheal sounded upset now.
"Is that a problem?" She asked me.
"Umm....I think I need to get back to you on this. Can I meet you at the Crashdown tomorrow morning?" I was completely confused. Follow my dream or be with Micheal?
"Sweetie, we need an answer soon, but because I think your gonna make it, I'll meet with you. Say, 10-ish?"
"Oh, yes. Thank you so much, Dominique. I'll see you tomorrow morning!" I said and then took Micheal's hand and lead him out of the studio.
