MIchelle looked at Neil as she wasn't all that happy with him.  He had been a big jerk to her ever since he dumped her.  She knew that he had a girlfriend now and she wasn't trying to get in the way of that.

Michelle: Please, Neil come on, I need that paper, our teacher is going to be back tomorrow.

She said as they had worked together on a project before he dumped her, but he was just grinning shaking his head.

Michelle: Fine.

She said giving up, she turned to leave as she figured she would just do what she could tonight...

Neil: Michelle.

She turned looking at him seeing him grinning with the paper as she turned going back, then frowning when he ripped it up.

Michelle: You're such a jerk, I can't believe I ever loved you.

She said as she just turned leaving as she couldn't believe how cruel he had gotten to her... Again, it felt just like high school all over again with him. 

She didn't say a word to him, she didn't bother, she knew that he had found someone else and didn't want her, she wasn't going to let him bring her down anymore than she already had.  She made the walk home as she just pulled her keys out letting herself in.  She closed the door as she couldn't stop the tears for a bit as she just curled up there on the floor sitting there thinking about how everything had gotten so messed up now.

She was shocked when she saw Pat there, as she dried her eyes shaking her head.  She stood up a bit looking at him wondering why he was in her home.

Michelle: No.

She shook her head as she was looking at him thinking about it. 

Michelle: No, not that I'm aware of, then again he dumped me a few weeks ago.  He had another girl he wanted more.

She sighed a bit as she was trying to not let it hurt her.

Michelle: I was trying to get my assignment from him that is due tomorrow, but he's having more fun tormenting me...

She said as she knew he really hated her now, she knew she couldn't handle it all over again, it took her too long to get over it the last time. 

She shrugged shaking her head a bit as she didn't think so, everything else was normal with him, he wasn't like he had been before , it was just how he was with her.

Michelle: I doubt it, he's fine with everything and everyone else just me.

She said simply as she walked away from the door.

Michelle: I'm leaving anyways, I can't deal with this all over again.

She said as she knew she couldn't mentally or emotionally handle it again.

She looked at him when he said that as she was thinking about it.

Michelle: Stay here.

She said as she was thinking about it, she owned the place, so it's not like she had to ask anyone.

Michelle: You should be safe here.

She shook her head as she was thinking about it.

Michelle: Doubt it, he can't even stand the site of me anymore.

She said honestly as he couldn't, she had all she could do to make it thru their shared classes with out him being bitter and nasty to her, so she didn't feel he would be around her place.

She shook her head as she was thinking about it, knowing he was happy with his new girl.

Michelle: He doesn't...

She said as she started to walk away.

Michelle: You can have the first room at the top of the stairs, I'm going to shower and head to bed.

She said sadly.

Michelle sat up in her room as she opened her books knowing that she had a lot of work to do tonight.  She had to get the assignment that Neil had ripped up on her done by morning so she had her books out and was just trying to focus on it.

She was shocked when she saw the email from him , as she wasn't sure she overly trusted him, thinking maybe he was up to something.  She did send a message back though.

Michelle: Thank you. Neil.

She said being polite going over it as she was still shocked not sure why he was being nice now.

She did a bit of work and saw the email as she checked it out, she still wasn't sure why he was being nice now, but she had her guard up.   She didn't say anything back right now as she was still hurt and conflicted as she just went back to working on her assignment, knowing she had a lot to do.

She read the email as she just rolled her eyes a bit, and refused to respond to it, she wasn't going to fight over it again, no need too, they were thru  now anyways, so it didn't matter.  She sighed turning off the computer as she got up and sat on her bed with a book.

To his surprise it was his brother pat who had opened the door as Michelle hadn't heard him at the door.

She heard the yelling as she opened the door walking out.  She saw Neil there as she was at the top of the stairs.

Michelle: What are you doing here?

She looked a bit shocked when he said that as she had no idea he was pretending to be dead, she hadn't been told that.  She looked at Pat waiting to see what he had to say about this.

She didn't really have no idea what was going on, but trusted Pat when he said he couldn't talk about it right now as she looked at Neil.

Michelle: Now what do  you want Neil?

She asked wondering why he decided to come over.

She knew she shouldn't but she sighed as she nodded as she looked at Pat as he went taking his leave so the two of them could talk as she stood there looking waiting to see what he had to say to her.

She looked at him when he said that as she stood there thinking about it.

Michelle: Okay.

She said as she wasn't willing to forgive him for all he had put her through, but she wasn't going to be angry at him about it.

She had no idea that he was even thought of dead, Neil had never said anything to her, she just figured he had went off with Nikita some place, it was very confusing to her at the moment.

Michelle: I'm sorry.

She looked at him as she was thinking about it, not sure really what to say, as she wasn't sure if it was smart to be friends with him, knowing how bad things seemed to get when she did try to be friends with him.

Michelle: I don't know, Neil.

She looked at him as she knew she could do that as she nodded her head thinking about it.

Michelle: Alright.

She looked at him when he said that as she was thinking about it.

Michelle: But you don't want the baby around.

She said putting her hand on her stomach thinking about it.

She looked at him thinking about it.

Michelle: It's a bit late to go back now.

She said as she had gotten pregnant from him back when he had been attacking her, before they tried dating.

Michelle looked at him as she was thinking about it.

Michelle: I'll love the baby no matters how it turns out.

She said honestly as she was ready to take it how ever it came.

She looked at him when he said it as she shook her head, she had pretty much made sure it was all taken care of, one of the reasons she stayed in her fathers home.

Michelle: No I have everything, thank you.

She nodded , she trusted Patrick and knew that if he needed to hide out here he had a good reason.

She nodded as she had just seen the doctor the other day for a check up and knew everything was going well with the baby.

Michelle: Yes the baby is doing good.  Healthy as of last check up.

She smiled a bit as she was thinking about it.

Michelle shook her head as she was thinking about it, knowing that it was too soon to know anything like that.

Michelle: No, not yet.

She shrugged a bit as she didn't know, but would know she would deal with it as it came by.

Michelle: I really should finish my school work.

She said as she knew she was struggling more to keep up, as she wore out quicker than she use too, and with her having to do her assignment pretty much all over again she had a lot to do.

Michelle: You have a goodnight, Neil.

She looked at him when he said that, not sure what to think, remembering what she had been told before.

Michelle: Oh.

She looked at him when he said that as she was thinking about it, as she shook her head a bit, refusing to let herself get set up for that all over again, she had given him more than enough chances, this time she knew she couldn't emotionally or physically handle it.

Michelle: I'm sorry, I can't help you.

She looked at him as she honestly had no idea where he could go for help anymore.

Michelle; Maybe you should talk with your brother and figure things out there and see what he has to say.

She said when she heard Pat come back down as she excused herself after a moment going to her room, feeling like she needed to set feeling worn out and stressed.
