| Michaels POV Maria was adamant about the fact that she wasn�t going to share anything with us about her past. �Its in the past. Lets keep it there.� That�s what she said. Tess however would not give up on the name thing and Maria finally relented and told us laughingly that it was her grandmothers name and that when she had the chance her mother had it legally changed. I would too if I had a kid with a name like that. For a while there I was really concerned about what was going on. Not about Maria and her father and all that s.hit, don�t get me wrong that was really sad and I could kill him for what he did. No I was concerned that I might actually be falling for her. Thank god that wasn�t the case. That girl would make me kill myself before the first week was up if we got together for real. I figured out why those feelings were there though, I felt sorry for her. Her life is more screwed up than anyone I know, first Brian and then her father; her life is so pathetic it�s pitiful. I decide to go outside and take a little walk to clear my head of all the days� events from running through it at the moment. The very worst thing ever happened to me today, I went to the hot tub in the garage and saw my sister and Kyle f.ucking like bunnies. I wish that I could have an eye transplant after that experience. When I walk into the backyard I see Tess on the old tire swing smoking a joint. She isn�t a druggie or anything, she has cancer and the doctors prescribed pot for the pain. She still has a touch of pink on her face from earlier in the night and I have to smirk at that a little. �Michael I would really appreciate if you didn�t tell mom and dad what you saw.� �Don�t worry Tessie it�s our little secret.� She smiles and I smile back. I could never betray her, when we found out about her having leukemia we thought that it was all over. I thought that I was loosing my best friend. I was a match for bone marrow though and now she is in her last round of chemo. We should know in about two weeks if the transplant took and she will be okay. �What are you doing out here?� �I was actually planning on taking a walk. Do you want to come with?� �No I am way to wasted right now. But you go and do anything I wouldn�t.� So that is how I got here. Standing in front of Maria�s house while she glares at her father. �I wonder how he knew we were lying?� Maria chooses this moment to come storming out of the house and when she noticed me I couldn�t help but notice how cute she is when she is angry. She told me all about coming home and him being here. He told her what he wanted which is really bad I can tell even though she wouldn�t tell me what it was. I still didn�t know how he found out we lied he didn�t even recognize her. �He saw the mustang and knew I was in there, I mean how could he not know he bought the F.ucking car and�.� She kept babbling angrily and all I could think was how cute she looked. �You don�t like her. You don�t like her. You don�t like her.� The mantra kept playing in my head and still I couldn�t shake the appreciation of her beauty the next thing I knew I was kissing her and she wasn�t kissing back. Why isn�t she kissing back? Oh yeah she is in love with another person. Someone who I could never be like. TBC |
