Chapter 16

“How did your mom take the news?” Michael asked me. I sat down beside Aston on the sofa.

“She was happy.” I said.

“And what else were you guys talking about?” He asked.

“None of your business.” I said.

“Well I think we should make it my business.” He said.

“And I think I’ll slap you.” I said.

“That’s not very nice.” He said.

“And you’re not very bright.” I said.

Later

“Pizza!” I yelled.

“You’re welcome.” Michael said.

“Pizza!” I yelled.

“The pizza didn’t buy itself you know.” He said.

“Ya it did. It has magical powers.” I said.

“What are you smoking?” He asked.

“Pizza!” I said.

“You’re smoking pizza?” He asked.

“Pizza!” I said.

“Ok just eat.” He said.

“Pizza!” I then took a slice and took a bite. I went into the fridge and grabbed myself a can of coke. I then walked back to the table and sat down.

“What is it doing?” Stephen asked Michael.

“I don’t know, but it’s kind of scaring me.” Michael said.

“Should we poke it?” Aston asked.

“You do it.” Stephen said.

“No way. You do it.” Aston said.

“Michael should do it.” Stephen said.

“Are you dumb? Aston should do it.” Michael said.

“No way!” Aston said. Then I felt someone poke my head. I turned around and launched the tissue box at Michael’s head. It his face and then fell on the floor.

“What was that for?” Michael asked.

“For being an idiot. Now…let me eat.” I said.

Later

“So are you gonna tell me what you and your mom was talking about now?” Michael asked me. Stephen and Aston just left and Michael and I were the last in my flat.

“I was telling her about someone.” I said.

“Who?” He asked.

“Aston.” I said.

“And what were you saying?” He asked.

“I was saying how…I kind of wanna go out with him.” I said.

“FINALLY! You finally admitted it!” Michael yelled and then started jumping up and down.

Chapter 15   

“Yes!” Michael yelled when we got out of the court room. My dad was sentenced to 15 years in jail. I was happy that I was safe.

“I can’t believe it!” I said. Michael picked me up and gave me a big hug.

“You’re safe. You’re free.” Michael said.

“I know!” I said.

“I’m so happy for you.” Stephen said.

“Thank you.” I said. I then gave him a hug.

“Well you can now enjoy life.” Aston said to me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and gave them a squeeze.

“Ya…I can.” I said; looking up at him.

Later

“Mom I have some news.” I said.

“What is it?” She asked me. I was on the phone to my mom.

“Dad got sentenced.” I said.

“He did?” She asked.

“Yup. 15 years.” I said.

“Thank god.” She said.

“I know.” I said.

“But how are you hun?” She asked me. I remembered that the boys were in the other room.

“Bon, mais maman puis-je demander un conseil? (Good, but mom can I ask for some advice?” I asked.

“Of course.” She said.

“Je veux entrer dans une relation à nouveau, mais je suis inquiet qu’il pourrait me refuserparce que j’ai déjà refusé. (I want to get into a relationship again, but I’m worried that he might run me down because I already turned him down.)” I said.

“Don’t be worried. Does he like you still?” She asked me.

“I think so.” I said.

“Then go for it.” She said.

“How can you say it like it’s that simple?” I asked.

“Because it is. You’ve always over complicated things, but don’t overcomplicate this.” She said.

“I’ll try.” I said.

“Ask Michael to drop some hints on whoever he is and then hopefully he’ll try again and when he does say yes.” She said.

“I will.” I said.
