Senior Year, Biscuits & The Fuentes Family As Told By Nelissa Brown

I almost didn't want the door to open. No, I can't say that. Mike could never live off of bathroom supplies. Although I once met a family friend who said she would try. Mike keeps shouting, I suspect that Oli is actually dead. Mike has chopped him up into tiny pieces and stuffed him into tubs of bleach. I'll have to tell this story to my little cousin - Pippa, get her good and scared for when she starts high school next year.
But eventually they had to get out. Mike walked out glaring at us all. He looked between Vic and I, shook his head and pushed past us. He hurried out of school and I went to go after him. Jaime grabbed my arm and shook his head. "Give him a few minutes." Jaime said gently.
Oli went to walk away but Vic stopped him. Vic pushed him up against the wall and glared up at him. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Vic demanded.
"I'm telling him what everyone else is too scared too." Oli spat.
"By what? By wrecking his relationship? By taking my brother away?"
"Ever since he woke up you've all had him believing that his girlfriend was his stalker. You haven't told him." Oli snapped.
"And why?" Vic shook his head. "Because if he doesn't know he can't get blackmailed again."
"You can't lie and call it love."
"Not anymore." Vic sighed.
"I don't understand you anymore, Vic. You're not okay with me being with Nel but it's cool for your brother to have her? Does he even know how much you loved her?"
"He did know." Vic nodded.
"And now?"
"I'm not going to let you give me psych 101." Vic gritted his teeth and clawed at Oli's shoulders. Then he pushed away from him and ran down the corridor. I looked at Oli and he ran too.
I'll be honest. I have no idea what just happened. Oli has a point. Why is Vic okay with me being with Mike but not with Oli? I can't be on Oli's side though. B would never forgive me.
"Where's Mike gone?" I asked.
"Probably to go and hang himself." Jaime shrugged casually.
"Don't say that." Cassie sighed and hit his arm. It wasn't a real hit though. More like a youre-so-cute-and-funny-you-hang-up-no-you-hang-up hit. If B hits you you're likely to fall down.
"What should we do?" I bit my lip anxiously.
"I don't know about everyone else but I could eat a pizza right now." Jaime sighed.
"She was talking about Mike." Tony nudged him.
"Idiot." B grumbled.
"I'd leave him. He's pretty mad right now." Tony said.
"Who's he mad at though?" Cassie asked.
"Well Oli shouted it all out to him." Jaime said.
"Yeah, but Nel is the one who lied to him." Tony said and B glared at him.
"But it's Vic who loves Nel. Vic lied too. Vic didn't tell him about his self harm thing. Vic is the reason Mike was blackmailed in the first place," B explained. "So he's probably the angriest with Vic."
"Wait, didn't Vic go follow him?" I asked. I looked around at everyone and Cassie started nodding. Damn it. I turned and ran down the corridor. I grabbed my things on the way past and everyone else followed me.
Jaime started yelling - "Don't do it! It'll go on your criminal record!"
We came outside and I started running like a mad woman to the parking lot. We all came to a halt, skidding on the grass when we spotted them. Vic and Mike were both standing with Mike glaring at Vic and his hands balled up into fists. Then before I could even think Mike punched Vic square on the nose and Vic fell down. I gasped and looked around. Everyone was shocked too. They were all just standing and watching while Vic bled all over the grass. Mike was getting himself ready to punch Vic again while Vic held his nose. I think he's going to faint from blood loss or a brain tumour or something.
So I did something that I thought would catch everyone's attention. I ran over waving my arms like a headless chicken, shrieking like that time we fed B's parrot hayfever medicine. Then I screamed at the top of my lungs, "I'm pregnant!"
"What?" Mike looked up.
"Yeah, what?!" Vic demanded.
"I'm pregnant!" I yelled again.
"But . . . How?" Vic gasped.
"Do you want a diagram?!" I shot at him.
"I know how, I'm not stupid. But who's is it?" Vic said.
"Excuse me, I am not some hussy!" I huffed.
"I didn't mean that-"
"Is it mine?" Mike asked quietly. Oh no, I think I'm getting too deep into this now. There's no backing out either. If I say it isn't Mike's baby he'll think I've been cheating on him. If I say it is his baby I will one day have to explain why in nine months time I am not with child. I think I prefer the latter actually, it means I can keep Mike sweet for longer.
"It is!" I called. "I am with your child, Mike!"
"How- how long?" Mike asked.
"You should know dude! It your doo-dad!" Jaime exclaimed.
"No," Mike rolled his eyes. "I mean how far on are you? When did you find out?"
"Yeah Nel, when did you find out?" B widened her eyes at me. She knows I'm lying. She can tell.
"Just after the accident! I was just pregnant then."
"You know you are looking a little pregnant." Tony said.
"I am?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Can I touch your tummy?" Jaime asked excitedly.
"Not now Jaime." Cassie said gently.
"Can I touch your boobs?" B asked. We all turned to look at her. "That's what people do to pregnant people."
"You should definitely touch her boobs." Jaime nodded and Tony hit him. I think B is giving his combat lessons.
"Can we focus on Nel's unborn child!" Vic sighed angrily.
"Yeah! I can't believe it - I'm going to be a dad." Mike shook his head. Then he did something I would never have expected him to do. He started to cry. I gasped and looked at Vic.
"Do something!" I snapped.
"Come here, man." Vic said softly. He wrapped his arms around Mike and Mike turned to cry on his shoulder.
"I need to tell someone. What will Mama say?"
"She'll be okay. We just have to tell her right." Vic said gently.
I think I'm definitely in too deep.

Notes

Hey everyone! I had a lovely response from the post I made yesterday. But I you didn't tell me about my next contest! I've been doing some thinking and for my next contest there will be two categories - a humour one and a other one. I want the November contest to be so much bigger and better than my first one. So tell me - do you want free shipping and tiny prizes or a small fee with bigger, more personalised and exciting prizes? If you don't tell me I won't know. But anyway, what did you think? What will happen? Will Nel come clean? Will things blow up before graduation? Favourite line? Also I have something super exciting to announce about my sequel, but not until chapter 50! I hope you're all having a wonderful day, many kisses and remember just how much I love you! xo
