It's Me, Isn't it?

When I got up i didnt say one word to my parents, i told Riley i loved him then left. My eyes still felt a bit swollen from all the crying i did.

"Okay spit it out, what happened?" Wesley asked once I got buckled in.

"Michael came by last night and my mom flipped out told me michael is bad news and that I was forbidden to see him and then my dad got in on it. I told them I hated them started to pack a bag to leave then they were like 'let's talk about it' so i told them the only way I would stay if they let me see Michael." I said.

"Dang, I'm sorry Dre." He said. "Just when I finally find someone who makes me happy they try to ruin it. " i said getting upset.

"Dre don't get upset about again, its over. " He said sincerly.

"Yeah but you know they're not going to give him a fair chance, they're going to find anything to make me not see him. Its not fair." I said whipping a tear.

"Your not changing your mind on dating him are you? " he asked concerned.

"Hell no. I've already got myself to deep. I like him to much to let go. " I said.

-

I didn't even open my locker, i went straight to Michael and made him hold me. I buried my face into his chest.

"Whats wrong? " He asked.

"I had a rough night/morning." I said

"What happened?" He asked grabbing my face making me look at him.

I debated on telling him or not.

"Its me, isn't it?" He asked. Tears filled my eyes. "Its my parents. They're stupid." I croaked.

"Dre please don't cry." He said holding my face still.

"Im trying not to. But they're not fair." I said as a tear fell.

"Am i not allowed to see you?" He asked worried.

" they tried, they told me I couldn't see you anymore then i started to pack my bags to leave cause they make me miserable. Then i told them the only way I'd stay is if i could see you and they said okay." I confessed.

"I don't want to start problems with you and your parents Dre." He said with sadness. "No no no, Michael, your not. It's them anytime I like someone they ruin it for me. I want to be with you." I said.

He smiled, "Why are you smiling?" I asked.

"Girl, we might as well go a head and date if we're already going through this much trouble." He said serious.

I stared into his beautiful chocolate eyes. Should we?

Maybe he was right, who was i kidding? I'm in love with him. He was right.

"Okay." I said. He smiled, he leaned in and kissed me, he pulled away still smiling , " i knew you couldn't go long with out these kisses."

"Gosh you are cocky sometimes."I laughed.

He just smiled, " and their finally together!" Trey shouts. We just laughed.

"We need to get to class." I said letting go of him.

I was so happy for him to finally be mine and for me to finally be his. This is such a strange feeling though. I haven't dated anyone since freshmen year. We met last week and we're already dating? But I feel like I've known him for years. I feel like I can go to him about anything, i mean I've already cried in front of him! Twice!

3rd hour Wesley wouldn't leave us alone, he kept teasing us.

School ended i kissed Michael good bye. "Here." He smiled handing me a note.

"What does it say?" I asked.

"My number if you get the chance to, you should call me." He said sweetly.

"I'll try."I gave him one last kiss.

"Bye." We said.

Wesley was waiting in his car,

" can't believe Yall are official now." He smiled.

"Yep, but what about you and Ally?"

"I think imma ask her out this weekend. I like her a lot Dre." He smiled.

"I'm happy for you." I said genuinely happy for him.

I got home and I was still smiling, but once again as soon as i got home my mother was waiting at the door for me.

"Oh no, what now." I said rolling my eyes

"Me and your father talked earlier and we want your 'friend' Michael to come over for dinner so we can officially meet him." She said.

"No mom, cause your not going to give him a fair chance him away." I said.

"Audrey. We want to meet him, especially if your going to be spending a lot of time with him. " she said seriously.

"Fine...but you mess this up for me, I will be moving out." I told her.

"Oh and he's my boyfriend by the way." I said then going up to my room.

Crap how am I suppose to invite him over? I dont-

" here's your phone you can call or text him but I want it back." She said.

"Okay, thank you." I said.

I took out his number and called him.

MICHAEL'S POV ~ ~ ~

as soon as i got home I went to my room. I've been trying to slow down for Dre but I really need some right now. I keep telling my self I'm going to stop but I cant. I get so fucking stressed out and bipolar when I don't have it.

I went in my closet and did the usually. Injecting the drug in my right arm. I felt so good after I had it. My mind finally calmed down but then my phone started to ring it was some number I didn't know.

"Hello?" I asked

"Hello?" She replied. I smiled a bit but I s knew I couldn't talk long before this drug fucked with my brain.

"Dre?" I replied.

"Yeah its me. Um I need to ask you a favor?" She asked.

"What is it?" I asked confused.

"My mom wants you to come over for dinner." She asked. "Tonight."

"Dre I'm sorry but I can't. I-i..... my dad has company coming over for business and I promised my mom I'd help her."I said.

The line was quiet for a few seconds.

"Dre?"

"Sorry. Okay I understand. Tomorrow maybe? " she asked slightly disappointed.

"I'm sorry Dre, i want to, i really do." I said.

"It okay." She giggled a little.

"Well i have to go? I'll see you tomorrow goregous? " I said as i felt myself losing it.

"Bye.see yah tomorrow." She said softly then hanging up.

A minute later and i was gone. I love this feeling.

BACK TO DRE'S POV **** *

i hung up the phone, he was acting kind of weird.....

"Is he coming? " my mom asked.

"No, his dad has some business guys coming over for dinner and he promised to help his mom cook. Can he tomorrow? " I asked. She nodded then asked for my phone. I handed it to her.

I did my homework then my dad came up stairs. "Wesleys family is coming over for dinner. " He informed me.

"Okay. When is it going to be done?" I asked.

"In about a hour. Their on their way over." He said then going to the din to help Riley down stairs.

I put on something a little nicer than sweats and a tshirt then went down stairs.

"Wesley!" Riley said excited.

"Hey Ri. How you feeling today?" Wesley asked. " Good!" He smiled.

We all were sitting down at the table eating. Wesley kept throwing food in my hair!

"Hey you two.lets act mature." Wesleys mom said. We just giggled.

"So wesley, how's your senior year?" My mom asked.

"Good, fun. " He smiled.

"Any knew friends? " my mom said eyeing me, I knew she was going to ask about michael.

"Uhh yeah. One, but I'm sure we've already heard about Michael." He said then looking at me.

"So what's this Michael guy like?" My dad asked.

"Hes pretty cool. He's a freaking genius too. Kind of quiet unless he's talking about Dre. He never shuts up about her. " he laughed.

"Would you approve of him dating Audrey?" My mom asked.

"Definitely. If i didnt, they wouldn't be dating." He said. I smiled in my parents direction as they didn't get the answer they wanted.

-

"They really don't want you dating. " Wesley giggled.

"No, they want me to die alone." I replied.

"Hey are you going to Anna ' s Saturday? " he asked.

"I think so, unless my mom decides to make me grounded again. " I said rolling my eyes.

"Your really on the rocks with your parents aren't you? " he said worried.

"Yeah, ever since the accident I can't do anything! I can't go to the beach, i can't hang out with any unless your with me, I can't do a lot shit now. They've become so strict. " I replied.

"They'll lighten up. Just give them time. " he said.

"I hope so."

-

"I'm kind of nervous Dre. I know they don't like me. " Michael said as we're standing on my porch.

"Michael, youre going to be fine. Just be honest, but don't get an attitude if they do say anything out of line, okay? " I smiled. He smiled back kissing my cheek.

"So this must be michael. " my mother said with a fake smile. Michael shook her hand, "it's nice to meet you." He smiled.

"You too. Come in, " she said.

He & i walked in hand in hand. "Your guys house is amazingly beautiful." He said sincerly. My mom smiled, liking his genuine comment. "Thank you, i decorated it my self." She replied.

"My mom is still working on decorating our home. " He replied.

"What style is she doing?" My mom asked as we walked into the living room.

"Kind of a native style, warm colors, tribal patterns. She loves that stuff." He replied. They went on & on about decorations, i nearly fell asleep! Finally mom went and started dinner.

"So do you think she likes me? " He asked nervous biting his lip. " you complimented her home and kept a conversation going with her about styles & decorations. I think she wants to date you." I replied. He smile, reliefed. "Oh you have to meet my brother! You will love him. " I said tugging him to get up. We went upstairs to the din where Riley laid asleep.

"Ri, wake up....wakey wakey." I said shaking him a bit. "Dre... stop." He mumbled.

"There's someone I want you to meet. " I said.

He fluttered his open, yawning. "How are you feeling? Mom said she had to pick you up from school." I said helping him sit up.

"I don't feel good." He said.

"I'm sorry Ri. But I want you to meet Michael. He is my boyfriend." I smiled. Ri raised one eyebrow.

"Your dating her?" He asked Michael. Michael nodded.

"Girls have cooties! " he said. Michael and I started laughing.

" I do not." I defended my self as Michael still laughed.

"Yes you do. You told me all girls do!" He said.

"Well Michael likes my cooties." I said. But Michael was shaking his head no.

"You butthead!" I said shoving him. Riley laughed as we wrestled on the ground.

"What is going on up there?" My mother shouted.

"Audrey is being mean to Michael! " Riley shouted.

"Am not." I replied.

"Yeah she is!" Michael replied

"Come on guys! Let's grow up a bit." My mom said.

"Your on my list Ri." I said.

"Your on my list! You didn't watch cartoons with me!" He said pouting.

"Fine, I'll watch cartoons with you." I said sitting on the couch. Michael sat on the other side of me. Michael and I kept our distant is case my parents came up here.

-

It was dinner time and my dad was home. We all sat at the table, Riley insisted sitting next to michael so Michael sat in between Riley and i. Everything was quiet, " how old are you Michael?" My dad asked.

"18 sir." He replied.

" have you decided what college you want to go to?" He asked.

"Ive applied to a few but I want to go to LA film and art school. " He answered.

"Thats a nice college, expensive too." My dad replied.

"Yeah but hopefully I can get some scholarships. " Michael replied.

"You get good grades right?" My dad asked.

"Straight A's. " Michael said.

"Good. Maybe you can help Audrey get her grades up." He said.

"Michaels been helping me out a lot with my grades." I replied.

"Good." My dad replied smiling.

We all made small talk through out dinner. Everything went surprisingly well. I walked Michael out the door, to his car.

"Was it that bad?" I asked.

"No, actually went good. They seem cool. Just worried about their daughters future and who she's with." He said wrapping his arms around me.

"When do I get to meet your parents?" I asked. He looked like a deer caught in head lights.

"You haven't told them have you?" I asked.

He shook his head. "I'll tell my mom tonight i promise!" He said.

"Okay, you better." I smiled. " Well i better get going." He said.

"See you at school tomorrow." I smiled hugging him then kissing him. I loved kissing him the way his lips feel are unexplainable. "Bye goregous" he smiled then getting into his car.

MICHAEL'S POV ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I pulled up to my house, turning off my car. I entered my home to see my mother cleaning the kitchen.

"Michael where have you been sweetie?" She asked. "Hi mother. " I greeted kissing her cheek.

"& you're dressed so nicely? " she said confused.

"Uh mom. I need to tell you something. " i said.

"Please tell me you didn't get anyone pregnant cause I don't know if i can handle that again." She said.

My brother Jackie got his girlfriend pregnant when they were 17.

"No mom, but I have a girlfriend and I met her parents tonight. That's why I'm dressed so nicely. " I replied.

"Girlfriend? Michael when we're you going to tell me. " she smiled.

"Soon, things just have been crazy. " I said.

"When do I get to meet her? " my mom asked excited.

"Uh tomorrow or sometime this weekend."

My mom and I talked about Dre for a while. "Your falling in love with this girl already. Michael you've only known her for 2 weeks. "

"I know mom, but there's just something about her. "

"Thats what you said about Jaime." My mother said sternly.

"I'm being honest this time. I only said that about Jaime because you wouldn't even let me see her. I'm being serious now. Something just clicks between us." I said.

"I'm sure she's wonderful Michael. It's getting late. You need to get to bed." My mother said kissing my cheek.
