Mia was un packing her stuff until she herd a voice from behind."Hey." She quickly turned around. "Oh it's you." she laughed nervously.
"Need some help?" Michael looked at Mia's suit case. "No I'm fine."
"How was dinner?" She asked folding her shirt and putting it in a drawer. "It was fine." He said. Mia saw the angry expression on Michael's face. "You know maybe I shouldn't stay here. I'm sorry to bother you." She got all her shirts from the drawer and started packing.
"No. It's fine. Stay." He got all her clothes and put it in the drawers. Mia just put them back in the suit case again. "It's obvious you don't really want me here. I'm sorry." He put her clothes out.
"Stay." He meant his word.
"No." She snatched her clothes from Michael but Michael kept hold of them. "Please." his eyes pleaded. Her eyes got stuck into his peat bogs. Oh how she wished she'd never looked in his eyes. Too late, though.
"For Katherine and Jennifer to get to know us better. Spend time with family." He added.
Mia sighed, "Alright." Michael smiled, "Great," He headed out the door then turned to face her again, "Night."
"Night." She said shyly. She had to admit, Michael still looked hott even after all those years. She looked at her ring, reminding her about James.
"Hey Michael?" Mia walked to Michael's door. She knocked quietly. Then she opened it, "Michael where's-" she stopped there because she saw Michael and Rebecca kissing on his bed and who knew what happend under the covers. Flashbacks came to her head on that night when she saw Michael on the bed with another woman.
"Oh I sorry. I'll leave."She was going to close the door but Michael said, "I'll be right down. Sorry."
"It's okay. It's not the first time it's happend." And she closed the door.
She walked down and saw Katherine and Jennifer already sitting down talking. "Mom, what's wrong?" Jen said as Mia took a seat.
"Nothing." she sighed.
"Where's Dad?"
"Right here." Michael said walking right into the kitchen. "How did you sleep Mia?" Michael asked Mia. "Fine. Not as good as you did, though." Michael froze then went back to cooking breakfast.
Rebecca, who just came in to hear what Mia had said, was starring at Mia."What?" Mia said innocently.
"Well, I'm gonna head out." Mia got up and headed out the door.
"Mia! Mia! Wait up!" Michael voice called out behind her as she was walking.
Mia sighed heavily and turned to face Michael, "What?" she said sharply at him. "What is up with you today? I never seen you act this way." Mia would of turned around and walk off leaving him clueless, but she didn't do that.
"Nothing, okay? I'm just . . . I don't know!" she threw her arms up in frustration.
"Is it about what you saw this morning?" He asked. It got silent. Somehow, Michael knew it had to be it.
Mia started to turn her back on him but Michael touched her shoulder to stop her. "I don't even know why you're mad. We're not together anymore. So why are you acting like you did before?"
Mia turned to face Michael, "You know what? I don't care! Go fuck your girlfriend! Be happy! But stop it! I hate you, and you hate me, so why do you even care? Don't worry about me. Like you said, we're not together anymore. But you know what Michael? I pissed at myself for making the awful mistake of even falling for you in the first place, I should of known what was headed my way, and look at me now!" Mia exploded in front of Michael and dissapeared instantly.
Tears of frustration and regret came down Mia's face. She didn't know what to do now. She hated herself for loving Michael. She hated herself for even falling for Michael in the first place. She hated that Michael loved her back. She hated that Michael hated her now. Why did this even happen? It was all her fault, that's what. She was the one who left Michael resposible for the twins always being there for them. She was the one that left her family behind. She left. Not them. Michael never did anything. He was left rejected. And she didn't even know what she was doing to Michael. He was confused and angry. He had sex with another woman because he was left alone feeling lost, and forgotten by the woman he loves. Now, she couldn't blame him for sleeping with another woman. She finally realized what she hated most. Herself. Too late now. There's nothing to do about it now.
"Too late now." she repeated to herself. I guess the best you can do is move on and forget everything.
"She hasn't came out that door since this afternoon." Katherine told Jennifer. They were standing in front of the guest bedroom.
"So what do you think we should do?" Jen asked.
"This isn't working out. We need to get her out of her bedroom first."
"Well it's morning. She has to come down and get something to eat. I bet she's starving."
That night...
Everyone at the dinner table ate quietly. They hadn't expected Mia to come skipping down with a smile on her face popping by.
She sat down at an empty chair, "Hey guys! What's for dinner?" Everyone starred at her froze and watched as Mia served herself dinner. They looked at her like they never saw her in a decade. "This is awesome. Great dinner. Hmm, I'm starved." She looked up at the 4 people sitting there looking at her with their mouths opened.
"What?" She said still smiling. "We going to eat or what?" They didn't say anything. How could she be acting so normal and cheerful, now? She just locked herself in a room for almost 2 days! And she's acting like this has never happened?
"You okay?" Michael managed to say to her.
"I'm fine, thanks. You?" She said as she ate her mashed potatoes.
"Stunned." He said as her studied Mia's suprising attitude. Mia just shrugged. "Oh. Right. Sorry. I'm such in a happy mood. I feel great." She said grinning. Rebecca looked at Michael, Michael looked at Jen, and Jen looked at Katherine. They had no idea what's wrong with her.
The next night Michael and his band were playing at a outside cafe. They invited her to go. Mia was getting ready in her room putting her favorite shoes on. As she turned the knob, she found out it was locked. What the?
Someone put a hand over Mia's mouth and an arm around her waist. She screamed. Her heart beating faster and faster.
"Mia?" a knocked came. The person released her and Mia quickly turned around to see who it was and . . . no one was there.
"C-come in." She felt a lump in her throat.
"You look pale. What happened?" Michael looked at the terrified expression on her face.
"There was someone here. He was about to kidnap me or something." Mia began to cry. Michael gulped. The person was back. He thought it had to be the same person. "It was probably someone drunk who got in your open window." Michael pointed at the opened window in the room.
Mia shut the window shut. She calmed down a little. She kept telling herself that it was okay. She walked behind Michael out the house and closed the car door. She did it slowly. She was shaky. Her body was shaky. "You okay?" Mia smiled to tell me she was fine.
She calmed herself down and started to close her eyes. The silent car drive with Michael wasn't so bad. Both of them didn't say anything. There was a voice in Mia's head that said she still had something to do.
"Michael?" She broke the silence.
"Yes?" He said focussing on the road.
"You know what I said to you that morning? Well sorry. I was so mad at the moment, and I made a complete fool of myself. I'm sorry. All I want to say to you is that I hope we're cool with eachother. I'llrespect you from now on."
"Good. And same goes with me." He said coldly.
"Fine."
"Fine."
Mia crossed her arms and sank back at her seat, looking out her window. Just as long as you won't be bitchy he thought. Hey, I'm not the one who's the asshole Mia said in her mind. The weird thing was, they always could read eachother's minds.
