Chapter 14

"So, Ria," Iz said, setting down her things as we all walked into the kitchen. "Why did you need a girl's night so desperately?"

I sighed and sat down. "Well, Billy was here, apologizing and Micheal came and made the situation worse by beating on Billy and I'm just a little stressed right now. In short, Billy left, I yelled at Micheal, Micheal yelled at me, and we're not speaking right now. Well, I'm not talking to him at least," I babbled on, the three of them staring at me. I shrugged and went into the fridge.

"So, let me get this straight. Billy apologized, Micheal had no clue and beats Billy up-" Tess started.

"Actually, I said that Billy was there to apologize, so he did know. He was just being wayyy too overprotective," I snapped and flopped back down in my chair with a pint of moose tracks ice cream and a big spoon.

"Okay. So, he did know. Bad on his part to just attack Billy, but he was doing it for you, Maria. You have to understand that it was all for you," Liz said, defending him and I just nodded.

"I get your point, Lizzie, but do you mind if we change subjects? I don't want to talk about Micheal right now. I want to talk to Isabel."

She looked up, suprised. "What's up, Ria?"

I smirked. "I don't understand why you have to be the lucky one that gets the first action the eraser room saw this year! That wasn't fair! I'm usually the one to christen it every year!" I joked and they all looked at me, amused.

"MARIA! That's terrible!" Tess squealed but laughed none the less.

"What? It's true!" I winked.

"You are sooo bad, DeLuca!" Isabel joked and I smiled.

"Yeah, I know. Now, lets go watch a movie in the living room. Grab some ice cream on your way in and I'll lay out the movies we have to choose from."

They nodded and I went into the living room. I set down my bowl and headed towards my big screen tv. I looked at our movie selection and chose four movies.

Tess sat on the couch closest to the door along with Liz while Iz sat on the other couch next to it. I grabbed my ice cream and sat next to Iz. "Okay, ladies. We have Pearl Harbor, the Breakfast Club, the Goonies, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Josh Hartnett, but that's a sad movie so I say it's either the Breakfast Club or My Big Fat Greek Wedding."

"Well, I say Breakfast Club," Tess said. "That's my all time fave."

"Yeah, I agree with Tess," Liz said.

I nodded and looked toward Iz. "Breakfast Club it is." I got up and put the movie in, turning out the lights on the way.

General POV

Micheal drove home in a foul mood. Maria was pissed at him and he didn't understand why! "What did I do that was so terrible to make her slam the door in my face! I mean, I was just protecting her!" he said aloud and got weird looks from the person in the car next to him. "What are you looking at!"

The light turned green and Micheal floored it. He was in no mood to be following orders such as speed limits. Somehow, he managed to make it home alive and no damage done to his car. Sighing, he got out of the car and quickly made his way inside.

"Micheal? Is that you? Is Maria with you?" Annabelle Guerin called, walking towards where he entered.

"No, she's not, mom. She isn't talking to me right now," he sighed and headed up the stairs.

"Micheal, what happened?" she asked but he waved her off.

He continued on to his room and slammed the door. He didn't want to talk right now. All he wanted to do was be alone; well, he really wanted to be with Maria. He didn't want her to be alone in her house right now.

He wanted answers. Why didn't Maria tell him she was getting letters? Did she not trust him? He sighed and layed down. There were just too many questions to ask and nobody to ask them to...

Maria POV

The girls were helping me get my mind off of my problems, and I was greatful. Tess did my nails and Is was playing with my hair as Lizzie and I talked.

"So, Max ACTUALLY kissed you? I gotta say, I didn't know he had it in him! I thought we were gonna have to push you guys into that direction," I said, grinning.

Liz turned a light shade of pink. "Yeah, well, you thought wrong."

"Well, do you blame me! I mean, come on! You've liked Max from the beginning, right?" Liz nodded. "And I know he's liked you, too, but he's not the kind of guy that just goes out and gets what he wants. He's a romantic. The exact opposite of my jerk that I call a boyfriend."

"Oh, Maria! Micheal cares about you so much that he would get in a fight with Billy, so what! He was just doing what he thought was right," Isabel said and came around to my front.

"Yeah, Maria. You need to get over it," Tess added and put the nail polish away.

"Thanks, guys. I love it when you tell me I'm wrong. That's an ego booster!" I joked and then yawned. "Well, I say we get some sleep so I can bug my boyfriend early tomorrow morning."

"Sounds like fun. Can we come?" Liz joked and I hit her with my pillow.

"I don't think you'd wanna be there for what I have planned for him," I said, slyly.

They all groaned. "Maria! He's been my best friend forever! I don't wanna know that stuff!" Liz protested.

Tess just smirked. "But we do, what do you have in store?"

"Well, I was way out of line and I need to get him to accept my apology. How I'm gonna do that, I don't know just yet," I sighed and layed my head down on Isabel's leg.

She started to play with my hair. "Well, the three of us aren't tired so, you go to sleep and think about it and we'll try and come up with some things, too."

I yawned again and closed my eyes. "Okay, Izzy. Night girls."

"Night, Ria," they all replied.
