Mia was gone and so was Lucas.
Manny and Emma walked towards where all the boys were sitting, noticing that both Mia and Lucas were gone. They waved off the intruding thoughts and just kept walking over to Jay. Alex had gone off to get drinks for everybody with Marco, leaving Emma to spend time with Jay. Emma crawled into Jay's lap, planting herself between his slightly parted legs. Letting him rest his chin on her shoulder while talking to Peter, she watched Manny's body intertwine with Sean's. She leaned into his chest, letting the sounds of his heartbeat lull her into a light sleep.
Jay's POV Jay's POV Jay's Point of view Jay's POV Jay's POV
I laughed to myself when Emma plopped in-between my legs. I just kept talking to Peter, not even letting it bother me that Mia was gone and so Lucas. Me and she weren't that close, but he used girls and I was worried about her. I had seen her rubbing her lower stomach in circular motions recently, and eating more than usual. I wasn't close with her, so I had no way of knowing if something was wrong with her. I could always catch her looking at Lucas with longing in her eyes, mostly with pain when he flirted with other girls. I knew that they had hooked up about two months ago but I didn't know anything else. I just let the thoughts drift from my mind and finished making a deal with Peter.
I looked over to see Alex come back and hand everybody a soda. I gladly took it and watched the dancing couples against the sky that was a blend of colors. My eyes strayed to the lovely vixen in-between my legs and her counterpart who was lying across the table. I felt Emma suddenly stir, get up and stretch.
AN+JH+EM Normal Point of View. AN+JH+EM
"I'm going to go the bathroom, anybody need to go?" Emma's voice came broke through everyone's trance. She looked at everyone, getting a no from them. She playfully glared at them, but headed to the bathrooms that were around the far end of the ravine. As she got there, she heard Mia and Lucas talking in one of the stalls. She quietly hid in a stall near them.
Emma's Point Of View.
"The only person that it could be is you. End of story. You were my first and now you are going to pretend its not yours? That's bullshit Lucas and you know it. I'm two months, that's when we hooked up. How could you deny your unborn child?" Mia's voice went from angry to heartbroken. I could hear my own heartbreaking at the sound.
"Because, you said it was okay. I thought you meant that you were on the pill or something. How the fuck was I supposed to know it would get you knocked up? I'm not going to stand here and take this shit. I'm not going to father a baby by a fucking skank." I could her gasp in pain as he did an unseen action. I processed the fact that Mia was two months pregnant, it shocked me that Lucas was the father. "You tell anyone about this little mistake, I'll get you the fuck back bitch. Just get an abortion, hell you could the keep damn thing and I still won't give you the time of day. Do whatever the fuck you want, no one would believe you anyway."
The stall door opened up and I could hear Lucas storm out the bathroom, leaving the pregnant girl in the stall he was just in. I heard her slump to the floor in defeat as realization hit her full force. I just stood there, no plan coming to mind on how to deal with her, I would have to improvise.
Cautiously I pushed open the door, and walked quietly over to her. Her eyes were red and puffy and she looked a horrid mess. She was rubbing her belly, though was a tiny bulge that was hardly noticeable. She didn't even look over towards me but seemingly more interested in a stain on the wall.
"You heard everything? I kept it a secret till now, I was doing so good." She still hadn't turned to look at me, playing with her hands then gently rubbing her stomach. I could see a bruise forming around her wrist, the angry red blotches standing out against the pale yellow of her skin. She sighed as she stood up, wiping her face with her sleeve. Walking over the sink while looking back at me through the mirror while washing her hands, as if to get rid of Lucas's touch. "He is the only I have been with, he was my first for Christ sakes! He used me and now I have to deal with this! I know I could never hurt the baby, but..." She turned to me, as if I could give her an answer. I looked to the side, praying for a distraction to give me time to think.
"I wouldn't know what to do; I know Manny had the same problem a few years ago. I'm sorry Mia. Just stick with me till we have a plan. But we are going to have to tell Grassi." I looked straight to her eyes, as if trying to give her some of my strength. She gave me a nod while drying her hands and gave me a heart-filled hug. No wonder she snapped at everybody, her heart was broken and bloodied. Her eyes were voided of any emotion, her grasp felt empty. I held unto her waist, completely forgetting about having to use the bathroom. I could feel anger bubbling up out of me. We walked into the bright sun, feeling as though it was comforting her through her trouble. The table came into view and Marco saw us first, jumping up and rushing towards us. He looked at me and then at Mia.
"Help me get her in the car. We are leaving." My voice stern, meaning whatever I requested, it better happen. Marco hollered at everybody, they looked at me and her. I simply gave the people I didn't know a glare, daring them to say something. When we got over to the cars, I let her numbly get in and told Jay to throw me the keys, him and Alex got in with Marco, letting Mia have the front seat. I could tell they were surprised at my affection with Mia, me and her usually fought. I made sure that the rest of the gang was following their respective cars as I pressed the gas and rode all the way to Jay's, taking the quick back roads. We got there in a short amount of time and simply walked in, surprising Rachael and Ryan in a heated snog session. They must have seen the fury in my eyes; they pulled apart reluctantly and followed my lead down into the basement. Mia held my hand tightly as if it was lifeline. I didn't know what she was feeling; being denied by someone she probably cared for a lot, and in turn having their bastard child because of a mistake. As we hit the bottom step, she collapsed onto the large couch. Her body was shaking as she started crying harder, I could hear the following footsteps and looked towards the opening at the bottom of the stairs. Alex and Jay held looks of confusion mixed in with concern. When I sat beside her, and rub her back I could see Alex wondering what was going on, slight jealously flashing before her eyes. As all the sound of footsteps faded away I looked towards Marco. Concern was clearly written on his face, they were pretty close. None of us had given Mia a chance, she moved in about a month ago and had been rude, and now I knew why. She looked up at me, I gave her a nod and she stood up and called for the attention of everybody.
"I know you guys don't particularly like me, and I made sure of it. I made everyone angry, but I know I shouldn't of. But there was a good reason for it. I thought he would see he made a mistake and take care of it, the first month. I told Johnny, so he talked to Emma and I ended up here. As you guys probably heard, I hooked up with Lucas about two months ago. I thought I was in love, thought he cared for me. Well, turns out he didn't, it got worse when I tried to tell him and he didn't believe me. He got me pregnant, I'm about two months." She closed her eyes as she heard Manny and Alex gasp. She opened them and looked down, playing with her hands. "Today in the bathroom at the ravine, he told he wouldn't be there for me or the child. He wanted to terminate the pregnancy, but now he doesn't care what I do." She looked up, but not at anyone. "He is going to make sure no one knows it's his. He believes it's my fault and he shouldn't have any part in it. But I don't know whether to keep the baby, it's not its fault, but how can I raise a child? I can barely raise myself. So, that's it I guess, I have no plan yet." She turned her attention to her hands once more, letting the tears she cried hit her hands. I got up and hugged her as her sobs became slightly louder, she turned into my chest. She wasn't Grassi, but I was going to make sure she would have us. I felt more arms come around us and I saw it was Manny. I knew she would understand the problem; I heard rustling as Alex got up and hugged Mia too. I didn't know how the guys were feeling but I knew Jay hated when a woman was helpless, it reminded him of his mother and his inability to help her. Mia's breathe became less ragged as she stopped crying and returned the hugs. She still clung to me, but Alex understood.
Normal Point of View.
She looked over at Jay, her face searching for an answer. He wasn't looking at her, but she kept quiet. She would beg and plead for the protection from Grassi. Everyone was worried if Lucas decided that he wanted her gone, she as well as his unborn child would be gone. When he finally looked up, his eyes were filled with worry.
"I say yes, but it's not all up to me." The way they decided if someone would be in Grassi was simple. It was a vote between everyone, so there would be no fights unless it wasn't unanimous. His eyes looking at everyone, he knew they cared for Mia a bit but since she had done her best for no one to care for her, he wasn't sure how it turn out.
"Of course!" Marco's voice was the first to be heard; in return Mia gave him a smile. He was her closest friend in the beginning, she had been afraid it might change. Her eyes rolled over the silent crowd as she hope for the best. She knew that she held much of the majority, which was if the girls said yes. She heard mumbled answers though they sounded like 'yes', this gave her hope. Soon enough Spinner, Rachael, Ryan, Sean, Alex and Emma had agreed. She turned to Manny, despite all the positive answers she got, she held her breath.
"I would be crazy if I didn't say yes!" Manny rolled her eyes with a smile on her face. Mia let the breath go and gave her a hug. Her heart felt light, though the weight wasn't off her shoulders. She would have to make a decision whether to keep the child.
Soon the guys started to leave, leaving the girls to themselves. Rachael and Ryan went to the guest room to finish what had been started while most of the guys went out somewhere to get their minds off the earlier conversation. Mia sat down on the couch and looked towards the rest of the girls.
"I never wanted it to be this way, I just wanted to be happy." Her voice was quiet and she was looking towards the girls, searching for acceptance. "He had been sending me love letters, buying me flowers. Of course that was before he got what he wanted. When I first got the courage to tell him, he said I was lying. He walked out; yelling out how I was a skank and said I was trying to give him a blowjob." She gave a cold and heartless laugh. "He gave me a note in English today, saying to meet in the bathrooms at the ravine. I thought maybe he would see the error of his ways. Maybe he would help me take care of the baby, maybe even learn to love me like he said he did." Her eyes were staring off into space, unfocused as she continued talking. Her hands rubbing her belly once again, seemingly calming her. "I got myself into this mess, I should have stayed away." She looked down, her eyes focused on her tiny bulge where her unborn child was. "I don't regret it. He did have good parts; I don't want to lose the only thing keeping me linked to him." Her cheeks turned red and she dropped her hands, turning the other way. "I do love him, I guess this is my punishment." She finally got the courage to look at the girls; Manny had tear streaks coming down her face, but was doing nothing to hide them.
"I felt that way, but I knew no matter what he said, it would all be a lie. The fact he started beating me told me he couldn't ever be ready for a child. I can't make your decision for you, though if you feel this is right, I wont stop you." Manny's voice was soft, and everyone knew she was sad about her choices though they knew it was the right thing to do. She slumped into the closest chair and let the emotions she kept bottled in. She looked at the girls and with a smile on her face. "I hate Oprah moments." She quickly wiped her eyes, and gave them a smile. She looked towards Mia and saw her wiping her own eyes. The two girls quickly stood up, not wanting to wallow in sadness.
They walked up the stairs and walked in the kitchen, quickly realizing there was nothing to eat; they called the boys into the kitchen. The clock said it was about five, almost six, so the girls didn't want to cook.
"Just get pizza, simple and easy. I'm so fucking hungry right now, I would pay." Jay's stomach let out a growl, letting them know it was true. Everybody just laughed and set about getting the phone and the order.
Mia just had a smile on her face, she finally people she could trust and she wasn't going to let anything get in the way of her and her baby.
I'm going to try and work on the next chapter through the week and probably not going to update until the weekend. Maybe if you are lucky, I might do it faster.
