Mikayla's POV
The rays of the sun wake me up. I slowly open my eyes, but close them again because of the bright light. Suddenly I realise what had happened last night. Me and Mitchie ran off and ended up in the woods nearby. We fell asleep on some soft grass. Mitchie's left arm is draped over my stomache and she's half on top of me with her head on my chest, using it as a pillow. That might be the reason I wasn't cold at night. I feel her shivering. She must be freezing. I grab my jacket, that I used as a pillow, and try to cover her without waking her up. It was a failed attempt, because she starts to stir.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." I say as I put the jacket around her properly.
"No, it's fine." She replies as she sits up.
"Are you okay?" I ask as I sit up too. I regret my question. Ofcourse she's not okay, you should know that! I mumble to myself.
"I'm okay as long as I'm with you." She smiles. I smile too before giving her a peck on her lips. I didn't check to see if anyone could see us because we're in the woods for crying out loud.
"I'm going to go and get some breakfast." I say as I open the pocket of my jacket, which is still around Mitchie's shoulders. I always keep some money in that pocket, just in case. "Stay here, I'll be right back." I peck her again before getting up and leaving the woods. People stare at me as soon as I reach Starbucks. I get questions fired at me immediatly.
"Is it true?" What?
"Did she really say that?" Who?
"Can you tell us everything?" Why?
"They said they heard it from her mom." When?
I put my hands in the air to try and stop all the questions. "Can you all be quiet for a minute?" I thank God they all hold in other questions and shut their mouth. I sigh. "What are you guys all talking about?"
"Don't you know?" some random girl asks me. I raise my eyebrows and shrug my shoulders. "It's all over the newspaper."
"What is all over the newspaper?" I ask. Okay, can someone please tell me what's going on? The girl hands me today's newspaper and I gasp. This can't be happening. Tell me this isn't true. Tell me I'm not reading this. Tell me, tell me, tell me! Something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know. Ooh, new lyric! No! Don't think about lyrics you idiot, keep your head with the newspaper! I turn to the girl who gave it to me. "Can... Can I have this?" I ask, still overwhelmed. She nods and I run off as fast as I can.
"Mitchie!" I yell into the woods.
"Yeah?" she yells back. I run to her voice and she's sitting on a tree that once fell down on the ground. "Weren't you going to get breakfast?"
"I think this is just a little bit more important." I say as I hand her the newspaper. I think her jaw might have hit the ground from the moment she saw the front page.
MITCHIE TORRES IS PREGNANT!
Our local journalist found out that Mitchie Torres is pregnant! She's staying in the hotel right in front of the Riviera Plaza, which shares his name with the hotel itself. Miss Torres is currently staying with her BFF Mikayla Gomez until the last concert. Appearantly miss Torres had surprised miss Gomez at her supposedly last concert, but the popstar got the news that there was going to be an extra concert. Hearing that, miss Torres took a plane to Spain to join her BFF on her last week. What the last two days has been going in the hotel isn't exactly clear, but insiders tell that miss Torres and miss Gomez became a lot closer these couple of days. That proves that they really are BFF's. Now the biggest news: Insiders told our local journalist that they heard yelling coming from miss Torres and miss Gomez' room last night. Suddenly mrs. Torres joined the BFF's in the room followed by mrs. Gomez and miss Gomez' manager. They accidently left the door open which allowed tourists to hear the conversation. Appearantly mrs Torres yelled at miss Torres using the following words: "I know you're pregnant, and you better pray you have a miscarage, because you are keeping that baby." Will miss Torres listen to her mom and keep the baby? We'll keep you posted!
Speaking of the two BFF's. Mikayla Gomez is said to be dating Nick Jonas. Her mom recently confirmed to popstar : "My daughter is dating Nick Jonas. She will probobly deny it because she's shy about telling people."
It seems that the rumor about miss Gomez dating miss Torres is completely proved to be untrue!
She breaks down and I rush to her side. I sit next to her and pull her against me, gently taking the paper out of her hands. "Shh, you're gonna be alright."
"What are we..."
"No, don't ask me what we're going to do. We're going to fix this, it'll all be alright." I cut her off sternly, but still gentle. She wraps her arms around my waist and clings to me. I love clingy Mitchie. Well, it seems that popstar already told everyone about the call from my mom, but I'll deal with that later. Right now, I need to focus on Mitchie.
"What about the part where they speak about you dating Nick?" She asks suddenly. Does she read my mind or something?
"We're not going to worry about that yet, but when they ask me, I will deny it." I assure her. I rub her back. Suddenly my cellphone beeps, causing Mitchie to sit straight up. I forgot it was still in my jacket. She opens the other pocket, takes out my cell and offers it to me. "You read it." I smile as she looks confused.
"But then I will be interfering with your privacy." She says as she still keeps her hand extended. I take her hands in mine and sigh.
"You are my girlfriend, Mitchie. I have nothing to hide from you. You know everything about me. You are my privacy. How many times do I have to tell you that I'm so much in love you?" I ask as if I said it many times before.
"You haven't." She chuckles.
"Oh, well, I am so in love with you, Mitchie Torres. You're mine forever." I smile as I kiss her before I hug her.
"I'm in love with you too, Mikayla Gomez, I love you so much." I smile agains her shoulder.
"Now, read the text." I say as I point to my cellphone.
"It's from my mom." She says.
"From your mom?" I ask confused.
"Yeah, she says that she can't reach me and that you have to get me back to the hotel. She's sorry for yelling and she's worried about us." She says as she reads the text.
"Well, maybe we should head back." I suggest as I stand up. I offer my hand and she gladly accepts it. We're walking to the hotel when I entertwine my fingers with hers, which caused her to frown at me.
"What about what other people think?" she asks as she looks around.
"I don't care what they think. I have you, that's the only thing that matters. It's my mom who doesn't want us to be noticed in public, and by the way, they were already staring at us because you were in the news." I say as we reach the hotel. Her mom envelops the both of us into a hug as soon as we get inside.
"You had me so worried! Don't you ever pull a stunt like that again!" she says as tears fall from her eyes. "I'm so sorry about yesterday, I should've been more supportive. It's just so hard to hear your daughter, which is only 17 by the way, is pregnant." She pulls back. "And you." She points at me. "I'm guessing you had a pretty good reason to slap me in the face."
"I'm sorry, but..." I start, but her mother cuts me off.
"No, it's okay, I probobly deserved it. Oh, your mother sent the two letters that were in your purse." She smiles. I'm so glad her mother has become more understandable.
"Mitch, I think you should tell her." I say, but then I see my mom coming over to us. She nods, but looks at my mom and I immediatly knows what she wants. "Connie, do you think we can talk somewhere in private please?"
She sees the serious look on my face and nods. She tells my mom she's going to take us to our room before walking to the elevator. Me and Mitchie sit on the bed after we pulled something more comfortable on than our dresses.
"What's going on?" mrs. Torres asks me.
"Are you up to telling her?" I ask Mitchie, but she just breaks down again and holds on to me. I guess I have my answer. I throw my arms around her and turn to mrs. Torres, who is leaning forward to hug her daughter, but I stop her. "Please, let me explain first."
"Okay." Mrs Torres whispers as she stands straight up again.
"I don't know how to say this gently so I'm just going to break it to you." I say as tears now also found their way to my eyes, but I have to keep strong. For Mitchie. "Mitchie was raped." Mrs. Torres sits down on the bed in shock. She keeps quiet and waits for me to continue. "It happened at some party, he put something in her drink what made her sleepy. He took her to a bedroom. She had no idea what was going on until he inserted himself in her. He's the one who made her pregnant. I can tell you she hasn't slept with anyone else."
"I... I don't know what to say." Mrs Torres says as Mitchie was crying into my shoulder. "Mitchie, sweetie, why didn't you tell me."
"Scared." Mitchie manages to choke out. Mrs Torres wants to bring her daughter in for a hug, but Mitchie tightens her grip on me. "I want to be with Mick. Her arms are the only place I feel safe right now."
"Honey, you're talking like you are dating her. Did you two become such good BFF's over the week?" mrs Torres says with a light chuckle. Her chuckle disappears as neither of us says something. She realises she just nailed the reality. She knows we're dating. I just look at her and mouth an apology. She brings her hand up to cup my cheeck. "Don't be sorry Mikayla. I will promise to keep your secret. I'm perfectly fine with this."Did I just hear that right? I love her mom so much more after this! She's my new favorite mom! My mom isn't in my good books right now, but you already knew that... "You'll make a great daughter in law."
"Thanks." I smile as I pull away from Mitchie a bit so I can see her face. "Did you hear that?"
"Yeah." She turns to her mom and finally hugs her. "Thanks."
"Sweetie, you don't have to keep this baby." Mrs Torres says.
"I know, I don't want to keep it. Deffinatly not because of how it was conceived." Mitchie sobs.
"It seems that Mikayla already helped you a lot, because I think that if this would be the first time you talked about it, you would be crying a lot more." Mrs Torres says, tyring to lighten the mood.
"She did." Mitchie smiles as she turns to me again. "I want my life back. Without the memories, without the baby, I wan't to be able to live again. With Mikayla by my side." Oh, my gosh I think she's going to have me in tears again. "I love you."
"You're having me in happy tears again for the third time in two days!" I laugh as I throw my arms around her neck. "But I love you too." She pulls back, cups my cheecks and kisses me.
"Erm." Mrs Torres says. Now she's clearing her throat. Now she's whistling. Whatever, she's not going to break our kiss, but then suddenly.
"Mikayla Marie Gomez!"
Uh oh, full name is never good…
