I FELL INLOVE WITH
MICKEY MOUSE
75
"I was right?" She gasped
"What do you mean, I was right?" I yelled
"I was just fishing around to see if you really are seeing
this kid." Mom explained
Well, this worked out well...
"Mom, I'm not." I lied
"Oh shut it." She said
I kept still and stared at my mother, attempting to figure out
what she was thinking.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked
She calmed turned her head to face me.
"No." She answered
"I am a bit.....no scratch that, I am very shocked."
Mom revealed
I would ask her why. But, I knew. Ella Rosingburg would never
date a guy like Michael, she wouldn't even look at him.
"I just don't understand, you haven't seen your dad
in ten months. You saw him today, and you acted like you see him
everyday. You're not dressed the way you usually would.
You're not behaving the same way. Is he making you
change?" She asked with horror dripping down her face.
"He's not making me do anythig. But, I feel certain
things when I'm around him. For the past two weeks, I've
been saying and doing things that no one ever thought I
would." I replied
She took a deep breath.
"Like what Ella?"
"Well, I've been wearing makeup and dresses, I've
been going to parties, I am a lot more reckless." I
explained
"That's it?" She investigated
"Yes, after all, its only been two weeks." I lied
"Ella, I'm going to ask you a favor." Mom spoke as
she bit her lip.
This was a bad sign. If my mother bit her lips while saying
something it meant only one thing, you would not like what she
was about to say.
"Stay away from this kid." She pleaded
"Why?" I asked
She shook her head.
"Please Ella, I'm begging you."
"Mom, he's a good guy." I insisted
"He may be Ella, I'm not saying he's a bad kid. But,
he has no future and you know it." She argued
"You don't know that." I pressed
"Lets see, dropped out at 16, works as a bar tender, lives
in his parents house, and on top of that he has anger
issues."
My mother was very sarcastic. In fact, if they held classes on
how to be sarcastic, my mother would be the teacher.
"He had reasons, mom it isn't his fault that things
turned out the way they did." I yelled
My mother raised her eye brows and glared at me.
"Its only been two weeks, and this guy has changed you into
a different person Ella, I cannot even imagine what could happen
to you if you remain together."
I grinded my teeth and attempted to stay strong. Come on Ella,
think of something, anything.
Say something to her!
My brain was racing....but my mouth remained shut.
"I love him." I squealed
"But, does he love you?"
"He says he does."
"And that proves?"
"Nothing." I sobbed
