What's With This Girl?, chapter 14
"How have you been Kira?" Dannie said.
"I've been good," I replied. "I see Billie and Mike are here."
"Yeah they're upstairs with Monty and Ricky. Come in."
I walked through the door, pass, Dannie, and sat on the couch.
"You look beautiful Kira," Dannie said while taking a seat next to me.
"Thank you Dannie," I said.
I couldn't think of anything to say. I have so much I want to tell him, but I can't say anything.
"Look Kira, I know we haven't talked in a while, and the last time we talked didn't really turn out so great, but...I'm just so happy you're here. I am so sorry I said all that shit about you. I don't really think you're a slut, and I know you didn't fuck Brian. I was being an asshole and I'm sorry. It's just that...what you did hurt me really bad Kira. I love you and I thought you loved me, and hearing from someone else that you fucked another guy, especially Tre, I just didn't know how to handle it. I don't know what else I can say for you to forgive me."
Dannie got off of the couch, but I took him by the hand and sat him back down next to me.
"Dannie, I'm sorry too. I love you and I never meant to hurt you the way I did. You have to understand that I was drunk, and my head was all screwed up. I was just raped and no one believed me. I needed someone and Tre was there. It didn't mean anything. It never felt right. Please believe me, I love you. And I've been faithful to you ever since that night I swear, I never slept with Tre again."
Dannie leaned over to me and gave me a kiss.
"Dammit, I've missed you so much," he says.
"I missed you too Dannie."
Dannie leaned over more and I was now lying on the couch. He started to kiss a certain spot on my neck, my "weak spot", and I started moaning.
"Dannie, you really shouldn't do that." I said laughing. "You're starting something you know you can't finish."
"Hey!" I heard Mike yell. "Dannie can I borrow your...Well, well, well...what do we have here. Dannie Who's this girl? I thought you said you were still in love with Kira. And Tre just called and said she was on her way here. I'm so telling her about this."
Dannie got off the couch, and I sat up.
"Hehe. Hey Mike," I said laughing.
"Holy Shit, Hey Kira!" Mike said.
Mike ran over to the couch and jumped on me.
"How've you been girl!"
"I've been alright, now get off of me asshole," I said. "where's Monty?"
"She's upstairs in her room," Mike said. "She doesn't feel so good. She has a stomach virus. She's been throwing up everything she ate."
"I should go up there and see how she's doing."
I kissed Dannie on the cheek and went upstairs to see Monty.
Now I know what all of you are thinking, "Kira Belle, you are an idiot. You know damn well sleeping with Tre meant something to you. How could you go back to Dannie?" You guys have to understand. I love Tre, I love him with all my heart, but I can't keep doing this. I have to face reality; Tre wants to stay with Claudia. He doesn't want to fuck up another relationship. I remember the night Tre told Mike how he felt about me. That night we were sleeping in bed together again.
"Tre?" I asked. "Are you awake?"
"Yeah. What's wrong Kira?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure," he said.
"Do you really love me?" I asked.
"Of course I do," Tre said. He sat up and leaned his back on the headboard. "You believe me don't you?"
"Yes I believe you," I sat up and move over next to Tre. "But... do you love me enough to..."
"Do I love you enough to what?" Tre asked.
"Do you love me enough to...be with me?"
"Do you mean, leave Claudia?"
"Well..." I said. "Yes, do you love me enough to leave Claudia and be with me?"
"Kira, can I be honest with you?" Tre said.
"Yeah," I said.
"I love you with all my heart. But I can't leave Claudia. She means too much to me. There was a time when I thought I could leave her for you. Honestly, a year ago, I was planning on leaving her and coming to Pennsylvania for you. But, I couldn't do it. I can't leave her. I still love her I'm...I'm sorry Kira."
I laid back down on the bed and turned my back to Tre.
"Kira," he said. He put his hand on my shoulder, but I brushed it off.
"Kira please, don't be like this, I'm sorry. I just wanted to be honest with you."
I turned over to Tre and looked up at him. The moonlight reflecting off of his blue eyes made them look more gorgeous. Sometimes I forget how amazingly good-looking Tre really is.
"I'm just happy you were honest with me Tre," I said. "It's ironic, I can't stand being lied to, but I do it all the time."
"Yeah you are a pretty good liar," Tre said laughing.
"I want to be with you Tre. But I want you to be happy."
Tre put his arms around me and laid his head on my shoulder.
"Did I ever tell you how much of a good friend you have been to me?" I said.
"Have I ever told you how amazing you are?" Tre said.
"Hehehe. That was so cheesy!" I said laughing.
"Shut up!" Tre said. "You're the fucking queen of cheesy."
"If I'm the queen, then you're Tutankhamen."
"Who's that?" Tre said.
"He was...never mind," I said.
I snap back to reality and walk into Monty's room.
"Monty?" I said.
"Kira?" she said weakly. "Is that you?"
"Yeah it's me," I said.
I walked over to the bed and sat next to Monty.
"Monty's what's wrong?"
"I got a bad fucking stomach virus, man," Monty said.
"Did you go to the hospital?"
"I can't go to the hospital, Kira."
"Why not?"
"I just can't."
"Monty there has to be a reason, so just tell me."
"I don't want the doctors to find out about something," Monty said.
"What are you talking about?"
"IT'S NOT JUST A STOMACH VIRUS OKAY!" Monty yelled.
"Then what is it? What's wrong Monty?"
"I'm pregnant," she said softly.
"Really?" I said. "Monty that's great! Ricky is going to be so happy!"
"No he won't," Monty said.
"Why not?"
"Because he might leave me," Monty said. "Because the baby might not be his."
"Well who else could it be?" I asked her.
She looked up at me. Her eyes were puffy from all the crying, and her face was pale from vomiting.
"Mike."
"You mean you...cheated on Rick with Mike?" I said.
"I don't know," she said.
"What do you mean you don't know? What happened?"
"I don't remember. I don't remember anything that happened that night. It was a couple of weeks ago, Mike, me, and Mike's friend Jason went out. We had a few too many and got hammered. I couldn't drive home so I stayed at Mike's. That's all I remember. Next thing I know I wake up, I'm completely naked in Mike's bed, my clothes are scattered all over the room, and I have a headache the size of Africa. What would you think if you woke up naked in someone else's bed?"
"Honestly? I would think I slept with them. But like you said, you don't really remember having sex with Mike," I said.
"Just because I don't remember, doesn't mean it didn't happen. I don't know what to do Kira. I want my baby to be okay, but I don't want anyone to know what happened."
"Everything's going to be fine, Monty. Your baby is going to be fine. We're going to get you to the hospital and no one will find out about what happened."
"I'm so happy you're here Kira," Monty said.
I gave Monty a hug and I pushed the hair from in front of her face to the side.
"Kira," Monty said, "I'm so sorry, about everything."
"Don't worry about that now. I want to get you to a hospital. I'm going to get Ricky and Dannie and we're getting you out of here."
"Thank you, Kira," Monty said.
"Don't mention it."
I ran back downstairs to the living room, and Billie, Mike, and Dannie were sitting on the couch.
"Kira!" Billie screamed.
He jumped over the couch and ran over to me.
"Hey! I didn't know you were here!" he said giving me a big hug.
"Jesus, why is everyone acting like they haven't seen me in years? It's only been like a couple of days," I said.
"Correction. It's been a week. And I'm always happy to see you," Billie said.
"And I'm always happy to see you Billie Joe."
"Awww! How cute! This is such a Kodak moment!" Mike said.
"Shut up Mike," I said. "Hey Mike come with me upstairs I got to talk to you for a minute."
"Yeah sure okay."
Me and Mike went upstairs into Dannie's room. I closed the door and locked it so no one could come in.
"So, what's up?" Mike said.
"I need to talk to you about something."
"Sure about what?" Mike said.
"About Monty," I said
"Yeah I'm worried about her too."
"It's not just that Mike, it's something else. What happened that night when you, Mike, and Jason went out?" I asked.
"Oh yeah that night... she's wilder than I thought she was," he said laughing.
"What do you mean by that?" I said in my worried voice.
"Well...promise not to tell?"
"Yes I promise."
"Okay so we all got hammered that night, and Monty got extremely shit faced. I wasn't going to le her drive home so I let her stay in my bed. I called Ricky and told him where she was, so he said he would come over and get her. So he's goes up to my room. He was up there for a pretty long time, so I went up there to see what happened. I walk into the room and I see Ricky and Monty banging in my bed. I...I couldn't believe what I saw."
Mike started laughing again. I couldn't help but start laughing with him.
"So...you didn't sleep with Monty that night?" I asked.
"What? No man. I love Monty. She's like a sister to me. But I'd never do that to Rick. He loves that girl way too much."
"That's kind of funny. Because um...Monty thought she slept with you."
Me and Mike started laughing again.
"Are you serious? So that's why she didn't want anyone to know she was pregnant."
"You knew she was pregnant?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'm the one who confronted her about it. She was vomiting like that before she ever got the virus," Mike said.
"Look I'm taking Monty to the hospital. Wanna come with us?"
"Yeah of course...oh wait I can't I promised Estelle I was going to take her to Disneyland with Ramona, Joey, and Jakob," Mike said.
"it's okay Mike you go have fun," I said.
"Okay, so can I leave or are you planning to keep me locked in here?"
"Oh, sorry Mike."
I moved out of the way and Mike left the room. I was left in the room to think about the shit that has been going on. I started playing with the music notes on the charm bracelet Tre gave me. I haven't taken it off since the day I got it. I couldn't stop thinking about Tre and Ramona, and how much fun I had with both of them. I felt bad just leaving the way I did, and not explaining anything to her. But most of all, I couldn't stop thinking about Tre, and how he's been there for me the whole time, and how quick I went back to Dannie. I feel like the more I try to do what's right I end up hurting someone, whether it's Tre, Dannie, or myself.
We finally convinced Monty to go to the hospital. Me, Dannie, Donnie, and Ricky were there for hours until the doctor finally let us go see Monty.
"How are you feeling Monty?" Donnie asked her.
"Like crap Donnie, how else do you think?" Monty said.
"Well it's good to know that being in the hospital hasn't slowed down your sarcasm," Donnie said.
"Oh bite me Donnie."
"I would but I don't want to catch the "mad bitch" disease," Donnie said.
"Oh Donnie, you're so full of yourself, you're just pissed because Billie won't even give you the time of day," Monty said.
"Screw you Monty."
"Oh, did I hit a weakness? You don't like me bringing up Billie's name, do you?"
"Okay you two that's enough," I said. "Damn you're irritable Monty."
"I'm sorry man, I don't know what's with me."
"Just calm down baby. You're going to be fine," Ricky said.
"Um... Ricky I have to talk to you about something," Monty said.
"Wait! Monty!" I yelled. I have to tell you something first, something really important."
"Okay. All the rest of you get out of here," Monty said.
After everyone left the room, I took a seat next to Monty.
"Monty," I said. "You might either hate me for what I did, or be incredibly grateful."
"Just tell me what it is," Monty said.
"I found out what happened that night. Between you and Mike."
"You mean you told him! Dammit Kira you told me you wouldn't tell anyone," Monty yelled.
"I know and I'm sorry, but I wanted to help you. Just let me finish saying what I have to say."
"Well since you haven't given me a reason to be grateful yet go ahead."
"You didn't sleep with Mike that night. Rick came over that night and you slept with him," I said.
"So, I didn't sleep with Mike? This is Rick's baby?"
"Unless they are some other incidents you haven't told me about," I said laughing.
"Oh god Kira, I don't know whether to slap you or kiss you!"
"I'll leave before you decide. I'll tell Rick he can come in now."
I was in the waiting room with Dannie and Donnie. Ricky came out of Monty's room and ran over to us.
"I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER!" he screamed in our faces.
"I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!" Ricky screamed while running down the hallway.
"Could someone please get him?" I said laughing.
"I'll do it," Donnie said, and started running down the hallway after Rick.
"Hey Kira?" Dannie said.
"Yes Dannie?"
"Is it okay if I give you this back?" Dannie took off a necklace around his neck and gave it to me. I noticed that it had my engagement ring on it.
"My engagement ring." I took it off the necklace and put it on my finger.
"It looks better on me anyway," I said laughing.
"I've been good," I replied. "I see Billie and Mike are here."
"Yeah they're upstairs with Monty and Ricky. Come in."
I walked through the door, pass, Dannie, and sat on the couch.
"You look beautiful Kira," Dannie said while taking a seat next to me.
