MNL-Chapter 28

Alex.....

Chapter 28

Silence still filled the room when those words were spoken. I couldn’t believe Michelle was pregnant. She is going to be more emotional than everyone. “Is Jonathon the father, Michelle?”

“Yes, he is.” Michelle said and looked down sadly. I knew she just needed a hug, but she didn’t have any friends now that Jonathon was gone. I actually felt bad for her…it’s not normal for me to feel bad. The father of her baby just passed away as well. He committed suicide, but I wonder how he did it.

Alex looked at Michelle shocked and then he looked at me. Michelle looked at me too. I guess they were wondering what Jonathon looked at me. Alex was looking at me with such intensity my eyes filled with tears. I knew I needed to tell them. I couldn’t even tell my parents Jonathon raped me. Now I have to tell my boyfriend and my ex-boyfriend’s girlfriend. “Honey, can you please tell me what happened between you and Jonathon to make him apologize to you?”

“H-He r-raped m-me…” I said shaking. Michelle only looked sadder. I knew it was my own fault for going into that alley way. I should have been smarter, but he would have cornered me any place. I just looked at the floor. I could feel Alex’s cold black eyes piercing at me. I couldn’t even look up at his face. I knew he was angry.

“I knew he was going too…he was so in love with you. It was so hard for him to lose you. He realized he loved you too late. It’s my fault you didn’t have Jonathon. You should be lucky that you have a good boyfriend.” Michelle said. She knew he was going to rape me and she didn’t stop him.

“You knew he was going too! Why did you stop him Michelle?! He was your boyfriend! I was happy with Alex now I barely want to look him in the face. I am so ashamed of myself. I feel like everything that has happened within these few short weeks have been my fault. I’m sorry; I will just disappear from your life.”

“I couldn’t stop him. He wanted you so bad. He was going to do anything to get you. I was going to do anything to get Alex. I don’t want Alex anymore. I want Jonathon more than anything. I love him more than my own life. Now I’m carrying a baby by him. I need you Aubrey. Please, be my friend. I know I have treated you so bad in the past. I want this to all be behind us. Please Aubrey…I’m so sorry…” She was crying harder. I was feeling bad for her still. I could still feel Alex’s piercing black eyes on me. I could feel the anger and tension in the room. I still wasn’t going to look up at him. Alex left the room. I went to follow him.

“I’ll be right back, Michelle. I will be your friend and I forgive you.” I said. I never thought I would forgive her for everything that has happened. I didn’t believe that I was going to be her friend. I ran after Alex. He was taller than me so I knew he wouldn’t be able to keep up with him. “Alex, please wait!”

“Why should I wait for you? Why didn’t you scream for help? I would have come save you! I couldn’t protect the only other person besides my mother from danger. How do you think I feel?” He said punching the wall. I never saw Alex react like this. It was scaring me, but I didn’t know how to answer his question.

“It’s my own fault for…” Alex shut me up when…he…I couldn’t believe he just did that...

“A-Aubrey…I-I’m sorry…” He said and ran away. I couldn’t believe he just slapped me. I fell to my knees. I was crying now…I knew I deserved that. I should have been smarter, but I just couldn’t scream. I didn’t know what to do in that situation. Jonathon was stronger and he kept his hand over my mouth. Or he was kissing me. I couldn’t do anything. I was powerless in the situation. I went into the bathroom and washed my face before I went to Michelle. Michelle was crying again. I just pulled her into my arms. I needed to hold her. I wanted to be there to comfort her.

Michelle just lost her boyfriend and I just lost someone I had once loved. I didn’t think things could get much worse. I knew I had to go to Jonathon’s funeral.

“Michelle, I will drive you home.” I said. I called my parents and told them I was taking Michelle home. They were shocked, but I didn’t tell them that Jonathon had died yet. I had driven her car to the hospital. I drove her car home and made sure she got in the house safely.

I walked home from her house. It started to rain again. The rain felt really nice on my skin. They were cool like the air, but I knew that I was going to get sick if I didn’t hurry home. I walked along slowly, but not because I wanted to get sick because I had so many thoughts in my head. When I did get home my parents bombarded me with questions.

“Why did you drive Michelle home? Why did she come here? Why did Michelle want you to go to the hospital with her?” My mother and father asked. My father didn’t really know what was going on because he had actually left the room while Michelle was over.

“Jonathon is dead!” I said and ran into my room. I didn’t want to see what my parent’s reactions were. I knew they were probably shocked. I was crying hysterically. Mason seemed shocked to see me crying. Mason’s eyes were already red from crying. I knew it was because I didn’t open up to him. He pulled me into a hug. I knew I was going to fall asleep in his arms. He wanted to return the favor by holding me. I fell asleep a couple of seconds after.
