"Dear Maria (Count Me In)"

I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen

When the lights go off
I wanna watch the way you
Take the stage by storm
The way you wrap those boys around your finger
Go on and play the leader
'Cause you know it's what you're good at
The low road for the fast track
Make every second last

'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one
Who is selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd

Then in the field you'll be the show girl of the home team
I'll be the narrator
Telling another tale of the American dream

I see your name in lights
We can make you a star
Girl, we'll take the world by storm
It isn't that hard

Ha ha...

Take a breath, don't it sound so easy
Never had a doubt
Now I'm going crazy watching from the floor
Take a breath and let the rest come easy
Never settle down
'Cause the cash flow leaves me always wanting more

'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle

-All Time Low

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.

Lucas pulled out his wallet, the pictures of him and Mia took together fell out. It was taken two months ago, in a random photo booth. He ran his finger over her face and took a sip of the beer in his hand. He was hanging around the ravine, chasing random girls down for a trip in the van. He stared at it before making the decision he wouldn't have any part in that baby's life, even not so secretly hoping she would get rid of it. He got a smirk on his face, throwing the pictures into the large bonfire in front of him. He gave a dark laugh as he saw the pictures burn and curl, erasing proof of his relationship with Mia, if only in his mind. He knew he would be able to ignore most of the emotions running throughout him, but the strongest emotion stayed, anger. He couldn't believe he was going to have his first child at eighteen, but then again, he guessed he deserved it. He remembered the year when his older sister passed, he missed her funeral to get drunk and high. He wouldn't go the hospital, even though he was the one she wanted to see. She had been in love with a guy and had gotten pregnant and the guy left the picture. She died from childbirth, and told him never to leave a girl he had gotten pregnant. Fate had a way from spitting this right back into his face. She had been there for him, told him he wasn't a fuck-up, and loved him when no one else would. And this how he continued to remember her. Not going to her funeral, getting a girl pregnant and leaving her. This was all Mia's fault. She should of told me she wasn't on something, the thought floated in his head. He felt hatred, mostly for himself but that didn't stop him from blaming Mia. He finished the bottle, looking down through the neck, as if it held answers. Throwing it to the side of the table, relishing the fact it splintered into pieces. He slightly stagger as he stood up, deciding he would have to go school tomorrow and watch Mia.

NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL.

He saw that she was crowded by Grassi, something he thought he would never see. He gave a snort when she wouldn't look at him in the first class they shared. Throughout the day the members of Grassi gave him the cold shoulder, it made it harder when Emma and him got paired up for a class. She just ignored him and did her side of the work, not yelling at him when he didn't do anything. He got pushed around in the hallway by most of the guys, Manny and Alex got their hit in. He felt numb, his mind raced when he caught Mia's eyes. He flashed her a dark, hurtful smirk as he continued walking. He suddenly felt that he was being pulled into a closet, which was hard for a man his size. A punch to his gut left him out of breath, looking down he expected to hear Jay's smooth yet angered voice.

"Stay the fuck away from Mia. Or else it won't be just us letting you know how we fucking feel." Alex's voice made him look up and Marco and Spinner must have pulled him in because Alex and Emma were the only other people there. "You don't look at her, you certainly don't fucking talk to her."

He let a laugh. "Does Jay know you guys are trying to be all big and bad? I didn't think Alex would do anything without letting him know. Looks like little Emma is trying to be something she's not. You think this is going to make me care for that bitch, help around the house? Think the fuck again." Marco punched him in the face, making him fall back to the ground, then turned and walked back towards Spinner. He started to stand again, wiping the blood off of his lip. He walked towards the girls, Spinner and Marco tensing up and ready to stop him if he tried anything. He stopped, instead heading towards the door. He was seething, she had told. "Well, you can forget that shit. She asked for it, she willingly opened her legs."

Alex had to be held back as he walked out the door.

WITH SEAN AND JAY.

"So, you think you're in love with them?" Sean looked towards Jay as he worked on the car in front of him. They were in their last class of the day.

"Yeah, I just don't know anymore man. I know I feel really strongly for them, and surprisingly I still feel the same for Alex. It feels right when I'm with them. Enough of that girly shit." Both of them laughed and went back to work. As the bell rang, they grabbed their stuff and went into the jumble of the hallways. It was crowded; it was all they could do to not get swept away. They didn't even notice Lucas eyeing them with hatred as he started talking to Hurst.

LUCAS'S POINT OF VIEW.

I was glad to be in Hurst, even if it was secretly. That bitch Mia was going to hate the day she opened her legs and invited me for some fun. I would make her days numbered. I saw her come out of her class and head to the bathroom; the other girls found me watching her and went in with her. I knew I could handle the girls, but I didn't want to have a huge fight between Hurst and Grassi, known enemies. It was killing me; I wanted to make her feel my anger towards her. I left my eyes drift off of her towards the guys; they were watching me as well. Sean and Jay eyed my swollen lip, but didn't say anything. I looked over as I heard yelling, it sounded like Liberty and JT. They were once again broken up; Liberty was seen kissing Damien and JT was pissed. Pathetic drama at a pathetic school. We started walking out and I turned around and flipped Jay the bird. It was an idle threat, and we both knew it. I let the smirk fall from my face when they didn't react. I saw Johnny come from the side and look towards me; I could tell he was embarrassed he was once Hurst. I walked out without another glance behind me.

WITH THE GIRLS.

Mia didn't even notice that Lucas had been watching her and the other girls didn't want her to worry so they left that fact out. Darcy came in the bathroom and they began to talk and brag about how the long day never seemed to end. They reapplied their make-up and fixed their skirts while the guys took their time talking to each other.

"We have to tell Ms. H." Mia gave a sigh as though she could already feel the disappointed eyes of the principal on her. Her eyes on Darcy's understanding look, Mia and Darcy were close because of Johnny. Darcy gave Mia a sisterly hug and a light kiss on the forehead.

"You want me to come too? Strength in numbers and if they disagree, I'm sure, since we have some of the highest grades, they would mad to lose us." She gave Mia a wink as a smile appeared on her face. The girls walked out of the restroom, laughing at the guys who tried to appear busy but were failing miserably.

AT JAY'S HOUSE.

"I can't believe she totally agreed! I was so afraid." Mia let out a sigh of relief. She was sitting on the downstairs couch as she ate a piece of pizza, a smile on her face when she wasn't chewing. Emma walked in and sat in-between Alex and Jay, giving each a kiss. Mia had to suppress a pang of jealously of the love they showed openly for each other. She shook her as she closed her eyes and took a breath. She felt weight beside her as Darcy and Emma sat on either side of her.

"It's okay to miss him." Emma's voice was velvety soft in her ear. Mia looked at her, before she felt the tears finding a way out. She laid her head in Emma's lap as the sobs took over.

"But, I don't want to." She ended up falling asleep in Emma's lap.

Its going to get more complicated for me to update, I'm going into ninth grade!

This one is fast but review!
