Thank you for the reviews! Really:D

I know some of you are worried about if Michael and Mia will break up, but you're just going to have to keep on reading to find out! However, I will leave you with a quote from Star Wars: "The dark sideof the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural." ;)

Okay, this chapter takes place a little over a month after the first. Also, this chapter was written while eating fruit snacks and listening to Billy Joel… so sorry if it's a little weird at times… :)

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own the Princess Diaries, or any of the other things you recognize in this story :(

October 13 The loft

I just got back from visiting with Grandmere at the Plaza. I'm so relieved that my mom convinced her to let me have to senior year free of Princess Lessons, and all the other Princess treatment I get here in New York (even Lars isn't around as much… It's only been a month and I miss his stories about bore hunting in South America… even though I think hunting is wrong). I tried to get the rest of my life free of princess lessons, but Grandmere just said, "Ppfffuttt, Renard, get me another sidecar."

Sheesh. What did I ever do to deserve such a sweet and caring Grandmother?

At the Plaza we talked about the social events that I need to attend this year. During Christmas break, I have to go to Genovia for the Royal Ball, and I have cut the ribbon for the grand opening of the new children hospital. See, I don't mind opening a new children hospital, but I don't really like going to the balls, and getting my butt grabbed by some 45 year old French man. Eew…

I also have this coming summer free of princess lessons and I have it free of Genovia. When summer is over I'm probably going to have to move to Genovia if I don't get into an Ivy League College. I'm actually not too sure about what I want to do yet.

I just got online and Jackson IMed me.

Shaymless: Oh, Amelia you're breakin my heart, you're shakin my confidence baby…

FtLouie: Too much Simon and Garfunkle?

Shaymless: lol yeah. When do you want to do our project for science?

FtLouie: Hmmmm, how about tomorrow after school? Since it's a Friday, it would be easier.

Shaymless: Yeah that would work, but I have to watch my sister that night..

FtLouie: We could make it work, I could come and help! I make mean macaroni and cheese.

Shaymless: lol, I'd be to scared to let you in the kitchen, you might burn down my house!

FtLouie: Okay, that thingt at Lilly's was put out quickly.

Shaymless: What was put out quickly?

FtLouie: Oh, nothing. So what time do you want me over on Friday?

Shaymless: Well I could drive to school tomorrow, than we won't have to ride the subway for an hour to get to my house.

FtLouie: Okay that sounds good, but could we stop at my house before we head to yours? I want to change out of my uniform.

Shaymless: Yeah, no problem. Alright well I'm gonna go start on some homework. Goodnight, don't let the bed bugs bite!

FtLouie: I'll try to keep Fat Louie under control ;) goodnight.

Than I signed off

Jackson and I have become good friends, we talk a lot about our problems, and he listens to me (which is more than I can say for Michael). Jackson and his friend Jesse even sit with my friends and I at lunch.

I think something is going on between Jesse and Lilly, because she's been much nicer since they started sitting with us at lunch. Whenever Lilly gets up to get something and asks if anyone wants to join her, Jesse always volunteers. I asked her about it, and she said it's just flirting… but with Lilly you never know. One minute she is just flirting, then she's making out in a closet somewhere.

October 14 Riding the subway to School

Sometimes I do miss the limousine, now would be one of those times. This woman next to me smells like fish sticks and b.o. At least It's Friday…

Later Lunch Time

I got to lunch late, so everything good was sold out. When I sat down empty handed, Jackson let me have the rest of his Alfredo Mostaccioli, which is a type of Italian pasta. It was really, really good, and the best part was that he cooked it! I've never met a guy my age who can cook… I mean, I can't even cook… At Lilly's, she even keeps an eye on me when I make cereal… CEREAL!

October 15 The Loft

I didn't get home until two in the morning! I wasn't really all that tired though. I had a lot of fun with Jackson last night.

Man, he has a nice car! It's a red 1969 Ford Mustang, with a black stripe going from the front of the car to the back. Agghh it's my dream car. He said he worked at a SubKing for three years to save up for this car. He hasn't eaten a sub since.

When Jackson came to the loft, he met my mom, who seemed to like him. I showed him my room and he immediately laughed at my Star Wars calendar. If that wasn't enough, he saw my Princess Leia action figure, I said to him as he was equipping its blaster pistol, "I know it's stupid, but I just cant bring myself to throw it away."

"I understand, I mean if you throw it away, you might lose all of your Jedi powers."

"Exactly."

I went into the bathroom and changed into my favorite pair of jeans, threw on a t-shirt, and put on my purple converse. I figured I should dress comfortable.

About 3 seconds after that, my mom yelled from downstairs, "Mia your cell phone is ringing, it's Michael!" Jackson said, "I'll go downstairs and talk to your mom."

I went and got my cell.

"Hulllo?"

"Hey babe, it's me."

"Hey, what's up?"

"Want to go to the Café with me and some people from school?"

"I can't, Jackson and I have to work on our project together."

"Can't you do it another night?"

"Michael, I can't it's due this Monday."

I lied, the project wasn't due until Thursday.

"You can handle it without me, after all, I'm sure Paige will be there."

Uuuuughhhh I hate her….

"Mia don't be like that, you know nothing is going on between Paige and I."

"Yeah, I believe you, but I got to go. Jackson and I have a lot to do."

"Okay babe, bye and don't forget to at least try to make it to the café."

"umm yeah, ill talk to you later."

I hung up, I had given up on even trying to say I love you to him anymore. He used to say it a lot, but now it was like as rare as Halley's Comet.

Jackson came and knocked on the wood around my door, I turned around and he could see that I was upset. He said, "Come on lets hit the road." I grabbed my hoodie (a/n a hoodie is a sweatshirt with a hood, I learned the word from a Canadian :D), then we left.

In his car, we blasted the Bon Jovi song Livin' on a Prayer. We sang at the top of our lungs, with the windows open. He had a thing for older music, and I loved it. After a couple Bon Jovi songs, we listened to Summer of '69 by Bruce Springsteen. He said, "I like to play this song for Musty, since he was alive

back then."

"You named your car Musty?" I laughed

"Well you see, when I was 6 I saw my first Mustang and I decided that no matter what I was going to get one… and name it Musty."

"That's nice… I bet the name made a few people stay away." I said with a smirk.

"Hardy har har… princess."

I had only recently told Jackson about me being a Princess. He's one of the few people in the last four years who met me before they found out that about my royal status. What I like most is that it doesn't bug him at all. He rarely ever says anything about it.

When we got to his house, his older brother was just leaving he said, "Jack, Nathan and Chelsea called." Then he looked at me and said, "Hi, I'm Adam."

I said, "Hi, I'm Mia, it's nice to meet you."

Adam looked at both of us then said with a suspicious look, "You guys behave yourselves."

We smiled at him then he said, "Well I have to leave, I have to go to night class. Lucky Me."

Then he went out the door.

Adam looked a lot like Jackson, except he was a little shorter. He looked like he was really smart.

Jackson introduced me to his mother, who was just about to leave for a meeting at work. She worked with some important news magazine. She said, "Very nice to meet you Mia. Jack, there's some money on the kitchen counter to order pizza, and I made some pasta for Nikki. I wont be back till very late, so don't wait up."

Jackson kissed her on the cheek then said, "Bye mom have fun at your meeting."

Then she said, motioning at Jackson and I, "You kids behave yourselves."

We smiled.

Than she left.

Everyone Jackson knows calls him Jack, but I preferred to call him Jackson. Jackson just fits him more than jack… but that's my opinion. I mean he is really nice and good looking, so the name Jack is just to common for him.

We went into his living room to find his little sister hoisting their dog in the air with her feet. Jackson said, "Nikki, what are you doing to Lucky?"

Lucky is their Golden Retriever, she is only a puppy.

She said, "We're going doga."

"Doga?"

"Dog Yoga… Duh Jack…"

"Well I think Lucky has had enough Doga. Maybe you should put him down before he pees on you?"

She put the dog down then came up to me and said, "Who are you?"

I said, "I'm Mia."

"Are you his girlfriend?"

"No, we're just friends."

"Oh, how old are you?"

"Seventeen, how old are you?"

"Eleven."

His sister is very cute, but a little edgy for an eleven year old.

Jackson and I went up into his room so he could change out of his uniform. I saw the same exact Star Wars calendar on his wall. I said, "And you were laughing at me?"

"I thought it was funny that we had the same calendar."

"Ahh."

Jackson has a very nice room, the walls are dark blue with a couple posters up. He had the same poster of the movie Rocky that my step dad put up in my brother Rocky's room.

Jackson had to change so he went into his closet and shut the door. I've never seen Jackson outside of his school uniform, so I was a little excited to see what he was going to wear.

He came out in jeans, Black Converse, and a baseball style shirt. The shirt's sleeves and collar were black, but the rest was white.

He looked really good… Ugh I have to admit, I have a crush on Jackson… I know I shouldn't though, because I have Michael… or at least I think I have Michael. He doesn't act like we're a couple too much anymore…

Anyways, after that we went downstairs and he heated up the pasta for Nikki. We decided we'd order Pizza later. We worked on out project and when we finished we watched movies.

I fell asleep on the sofa, watching Jurassic Park with Nikki and Jackson. When I woke up an hour later, my head was on Jackson's chest and my arm was wrapped around him. He smelled really, really, good, like Old Spice. He has a lot of muscles too... I sat up and apologized for sleeping on him... He said, "You looked like you were having a good dream, so I didn't want to wake you up."

He got up and took Nikki, who was in a deep sleep, to her bed room. When he came back, he had our jackets and said, "Come on I know a great place where we can eat."

I said, "We can leave your sister home alone?"

"Of course, she's eleven, she knows where my baseball bat is, and she knows what to do if there's any leaking carbon monoxide."

"Really?" I said with a stunned look on my face.

"I'm kidding, my brother got home fifteen minutes ago."

"Ahahaha… not funny."

We got into his car and drove to a restaurant called Pat's Hut. It looked pretty old, and questionable. I had never been to it before, but it looked like it was closed. I mean it was eleven at night… so I said, "Jackson, isn't it closed?"

"Don't worry, I work here."

"I thought you work at Vix."

Vix is a club where a lot of young adults hang out. They always have good bands.

"Si senorita."

"Anymore jobs? Like are you a Male prostitute?"

He got a serious look on his face and said, "Actually yes…"

I looked at him with big eyes, "Are you serious?"

"Does the Pope wear a big white hat?"

I looked at him for a minute then he started laughing, "You totally believed me…"

"I did not!"

We parked the car, then went into the diner. It was really cool in there, all over the walls they had pictures. The pictures were of so many different things, from random things like a fire hydrant to pictures of famous people. Pat's Hut is now one of my favorite places in New York City.

There was only one woman in the diner. She looked like she was in her 40's and she looked really tired. Jackson went up to her and they talked for minute then he introduced us, "Mia this is Ruth, Ruth this is Mia."

Ruth said, "Hello. Okay I'll be in the back if any of you need anything."

Jackson instructed me to sit at the counter, than he went in the back. After about 5 minutes, he came out with two pizza bagels, and two drinks.

We sat at the counter and ate our pizza and talked while we ate. It was really fun. When we were done, the waitress said, "Jackson honey, I got to close up." He said, "Okay Ruth, I'll just go clean this up really quick."

When he came back, we both thanked Ruth then we left. We drove around the city for a while, the traffic wasn't too bad since it was 12'oclock at night. When we got to the loft, he parked the car and then we just sat in his car and talked.

It's weird, it's like there are no awkward silent moments when no one knows what to say between us… we can just talk and talk about important stuff, and stupid stuff.

After an hour or so, he walked me up to the loft and we said our goodbyes. All we did was hug so I don't feel guilty. Or maybe I should… I would never do anything though, I do love Michael, I'm just not sure if he loves me.

Okay, that was the second chapter of Ruined Relations. I hope you liked it! and please review!
