Chapter 11 - Telling
Hearts are gonna break
Michael and I were talking, and we decided that we were going to tell my parents that day. We walked slowly and quietly downstairs. We came up behind my parents who were sitting on the couch watching tv. I was in front of Michael, who was behind me, holding my waist close to him. I was right behind my mum, and I said, "hey mum".
She didn't turn around from the show and just said, "oh, hi sweetie".
"I have to tell you something..." I said, quietly.
"What is it?" Again, not taking her attention off he tv.
"I'm pregnant.."
"That's nice, sweetie"
"... And it's Michael's baby"
"Clifford!!!?!??" She said turning around, "what the fuck is going on here?!? It's his baby?" she sounded disgusted when saying 'his'.
"Yeah.."
"How the hell did this happen!? Were you drunk?"
"No, mum.. I'm.. I'm dating Michael,"
"And you didn't ask permission? Because you know I don't like him!!" Michael was standing right there and he seemed offended. I shook my head no, and then she asked, "well, what about Luke?"
"I was never dating him.. I never dated Grayson either. I was always dating Michael. I knew you liked Luke, so I told you I was dating him so you could let me go on tour with them." I then turned sideways, hugged Michael's waist, with my head on his chest.
"Get away from him right now"
"No" I got even closer to Michael.
"What did you just say?"
"I said no."
"You don't say no to me"
"Well I just did"
"What has he done to you?"
"Nothing, mum"
"Yes he has.. He's turned you into a rebel"
"Well you've never done anything better"
"Isabella Brooke Williams!! You do not talk to your mother that way!!" My dad scolded.
I scoffed, "it's true"
"If you're going to be like that, leave. Get the fuck out of here!! And just make that baby's life better and get an abortion!!"
"I'm not leaving and I'm not getting a fucking abortion"
"I don't care what you do with that stupid baby-"
"This baby is your grandchild"
"I wish it wasn't" I saw Jacob at the top of the steps with a sad look on his face. He didn't want me to go through this. He knew it was going to happen sometime, though.
"Well, it is! And you have to be there for it!!"
"No I don't! Michael probably has enough money from that stupid and, for some odd reason, popular band of his that you can use" she paused, "now get out of my house. You're a disgrace to the whole family"
"But mum..."
"GET OUT NOW!!!"
"Mum.. please-"
"I TOLD YOU TO GET OUT OF THIS FUCKING HOUSE!!"
"OKAY!! THEN I'LL LEAVE!!!!!" I stormed away.
"GOOD!! YOU WONT BE MISSED!!" She yelled at me as Michael and I walked out of the house. I fell down onto the front doorstep, crying. I just got kicked out for dating Michael and having a child with him.. I didn't know where I was going to live when we were on break.. I couldn't rent out a place because I have no money!
"Princess... Bella, look at me.. Look at me." Michael pulled my chin up so I was looking at him.
"We're going to be okay, alright? We'll get through this" he soothed.
"I just d-don't know w-where I'm going to st-stay"
"Aww, princess.. You're worrying about that? You can stay with me and my parents during the rest of the break! They won't mind"
"Mikey, babe, I don't think they'll want me and you staying together in a room"
"come on, Bella. You're already pregnant. We can't do anything we haven't already done"
I giggled, "that is true"
"Keep giggling, baby. It's adorable. And I don't like to see you cry"
"Okay.. Well, are we going to your place now?"
"I guess. We have to tell my parents and ask if you can stay."
"Okay"
We walked to his house, because it was only about a half mile away. It might seem far, but it isn't. It was really dark outside because it was 7pm, but there were enough lights on the streets that we could make our way through the town. We were walking on the side walk on the side of the road, and I got cold because I didn't have a coat on. It was also almost winter. I started shivering, rubbing my arms with my hands. Michael saw me, and said, "Aww.. princess. I'm so sorry! I didn't realize you didn't have a coat on!! Here.. take mine". He offered me his coat, but I said, "Michael, then you'll be cold".
"Bella, I'd freeze for you. It being cold outside won't hurt me." He said, taking his jacket off and placing it around me. It felt huge on me.
"Thanks Mikey"
"Your welcome, baby" We kept walking, and we were still a little ways from his house when it started raining.
"Here, Bella, let me see this" he took his coat off of me, put it around him, then pulled me under the coat, too. Since I was shorter than him, I fit under the coat, and I didn't get rained on. We walked up the front steps to his house, and he said, "eww.. Gross. I just got rained on and it felt like someone pissed on me..."
We both laughed at him, and walked into his house. His mum looked at us from in the kitchen, then walked towards us.
"Hey Isabella, how are you?" She asked.
"I'm okay, I guess. I could be better. I just got kicked out.." I replied.
"Aww, sweetie... What happened?"
"It's a long story.."
"It's okay, I have time. Tell me everything and how I can help"
"Well, this might be a little shocking, but Michael and I are dating, and we have been ever since August 14 last year. I remember the exact date.."
"Wait.. You're dating Michael? Guys this is great!!" We smiled, but then she continued, "But wait a minute.. Your mum told me you were dating Luke.."
"It was a lie. You see, my mum doesn't like Michael because he has tattoos and piercings and dyes his hair. I knew she wouldn't let me go on tour with them if I told her I was dating Michael, so I told her I was dating Luke, she believed me, and I went on tour with them."
"Wow.. Clever.."
"Thank you. But anyways, this morning, I wasn't feeling well, and Michael told me he thought I was pregnant. I took a few tests, and they were all positive. I-"
"Wait- so you and Michael are pregnant together? How far along are you?"
"I'm five weeks"
"So, Michael. That was a moan I heard from your room that night.."
"Yeah," he answered, then whispered in my ear, "awkward..."
"Yeah.. Very awkward. Especially for Isabella since it was her.." She said, and my face turned red.
"But one thing.. Why didn't you guys use protection?" She asked us, and Michael told her, "I didn't have any more"
"You guys have used up a whole box of condoms!?"
"No, mum, that's not what I meant. I meant, I bought one, alone, at the local drugstore for one time, but didn't buy any more after that. We were in my bedroom and it just, happened.."
"Well... Okay.."
"Anyway, once I told my parents that I lied to them, that I was dating Michael, and that I was pregnant, the three things kept piling onto my punishment, and it got so bad that I was talking back to them, telling my mum that I wouldn't stop dating Michael, and they kicked me out.."
"Sweetie.... I'm so sorry"
"It's okay, Mrs. Clifford"
"No, Isabella, call me Karen. And you're going to stay here with us. I can't let you pregnant and alone with no job, no money, no food, and no house!!! And especially since you're dating Michael, and already pregnant, it's okay that you two will be sharing a room, right?"
"Yeah" I said, but Michael said, "nope.." under his breath.
"What was that, Michael?"
"I was kidding! I was kidding.."
"Good." She paused for a moment, "so are you guys nervous about the baby?"
"Yeah, and I mean, by the time I have the baby, I'll be 17," I started.
"And I'll be 18" Michael added, "but that's still pretty young"
"Yeah, and I never said I was happy at you two for this," she sighed, "but I'm going to support you with this. And help you get through it"
"Mum, I mean, we may need help like babysitting or something, but we won't need help buying things. I have enough money from the band" Michael told her.
"Okay."
We finished talking to her, then went up to Michael's room. Michael and I laid down next to each other in his bed. We cuddled and I realized that this was where I was going to be staying for the next while.
"Mikey.."
"Yeah babe?"
"I love you"
"I love you too" he pecked my lips before falling asleep.
