and back and forth. The orange and red leaves blew away as a gust of wind passed. I glanced over at Jesse. He was looking at me. I smiled. “Alright Caleb. Its getting late, we should head back home.” I told him. He jumped off the swing.
“I’m hungry.” He said.
“I have twenty five dollars left.” I said and looked around. I spotted The New York Pizzeria. “Do you want to get pizza?” I asked him. His face glowed as he shook his head vigorously up and down. His cheeks were rosy.
“Lets go.” I told him and started to walk towards the pizzeria that was across the street. “Hold my hand.” I told him as we crosses the street.
We got to the restaurant and waited in line to order. I looked up at the menu which was above the counter.
“What do you want?” I asked him.
“Um.” He said for a while. “I know! I want pizza with chicken wings on it!” He said.
“Okay.” I told him. We stepped up to the counter and the man took our order. “Can I get two pieces of chicken wing pizza?” I asked.
“Okay. Five minutes.” He said. Caleb and I sat down by a near by table. As soon as I saw the game room I knew I was in trouble.
“Can I play some games?” He asked me.
“Here.” I told him and handed him two dollars.
“What am I suppose to do with this?” He asked and pushed the money back at me. “I need those shiny silver things, that are about this big.” He said while making a circle with his fingers. I laughed at how smart he is.
“Put the money in the machine right there and it gives you those shiny silver things.” I told him.
“Okay.” He said and picked up the dollars. He walked over to the machine and put the money in and it gave him eight quarters. “Oh.” He said to himself. He walked to the game room. About five minutes later I heard him scream. I quickly jumped up and ran to the game room.
“Caleb!” I shouted when I opened the game room door. He was on the floor crying. I rushed over to him. He was grabbing his knee.
“He,” Caleb said and then paused to cry, “Kicked,” He paused again to cry, “Me.”
“Who kicked you?” I asked him. He pointed to a boy his same age playing a game. He had red hair and he was fat and short. “Where’s your money?”
“He took it.” He told me still sobbing. I walked over to the boy and took Caleb’s money away from him.
“Hey!” He screamed.
“Why did you kick him!” I demanded after putting the money back in my pocket.
“Because I ran out of quarters, now give them back!” He said. I turned around and went back to Caleb. I lifted his pant leg up to see the bruise that was forming.
“No.” he said while sobbing. I kissed his boo boo. Then his tears stopped.
“All better?” I asked him. He shook his head and I picked him up.
When we got back to the apartment Caleb was sleeping because I carried him the whole way. It was already dark.
“How was your day, Miley?” Chris asked me.
“Sh.” I told him while pointing to Caleb to let him know he was sleeping. “It was fine and yours?” I asked him in a whisper.
“Great.” He said and waved goodbye as I got on the elevator. I laid Caleb in his bed when I got home. I took his shoes off first. Then I took off his clothes and put on his camouflage pajama’s. I covered him up and gave him his teddy bear. I kissed him on his head and whispered in his ear,
“We will be okay.” I left his room and went to the living room. Michelle came through the front door. “How was your day?” I asked her as I picked up the news paper.
“It was okay. How was yours?” She asked me as she took off her jacket.
“It was good. Listen,” I said and stood up and walked her way. “I had to spend a hundred dollars today.” I told him and just stood silent.
“For?” She asked me.
“Caleb must have been watching TV or something but he found out about Skateboards and he wanted me to go and buy him one. Then we spent the day at the park. I met this guy named Jesse. He had a cute little girl.” I told her.
“Okay.” She said.
“Your not mad that I spent that money?” I asked her.
“Miley, its your money. Plus in a week and a half we will have some money coming in.” She said. We will get $630 when we get paid but we will have to put 300 of it away for rent next month.
“Okay.” I told her. I was going to head to the bathroom and take a shower but something was bugging me. “Do you ever wonder what would have happened if we stayed?” I asked her.
“Every moment of everyday.” She told me. “Do you?”
“I know my parents would have been livid if I told them and stayed but I miss them. I know i’m an adult know but Caleb is just a little boy. He needs a mother.” I told her.
“You have been more a mother to him than anyone else!” She said. “He loves you and don’t worry he will be able to see his mother and father after we get something situated. Maybe when he gets older.”
“Okay. Michelle?” I asked her.
“Yes.” She answered.
“Never mind.” I told her. I went to the bathroom to take a shower. When I got out I looked at the fogged up mirror. I wiped it with my hand. I saw a reflection. Not my reflection. A reflection of a girl who was hurt, betrayed, and regretting almost about everything. She was broken inside. I hated seeing that. I looked into her green eyes. I saw so much pain. I looked away before doing something stupid. I walked to my room and went to bed. I woke up and went to work. I didn’t look in any mirrors. I rang up person after person.
“Hello. How are you?” I asked with my head down ringing up the items. I asked this to all customers.
“Just fine. And yourself?” A voice replied. I knew that voice. It was deep and soothing. I looked up to find it to be Jesse.
“Jesse?” I asked.
“Good to see you, Miley.” He said with the most amazing smile. “So when do you get off?” He asked me.
“Seven.” I told him while ringing up his last item.
“I will pick you up at your apartment. I’m going to take you out to dinner.” He said.
“Thirty two fifty. And see you then.” I told him and he handed me the money and walked out. When my shift was over I drove home and got changed. Around seven thirty I heard a knock at the door.
“Hello?” I said and opened it. Jesse was standing there with a dozen roses.

 “These are for you. You look beautiful.” He said and handed me the roses. I put them in a vase in the kitchen.
“Thank you.” I said. Michelle was sitting on the couch looking at us.
“Uhm.” She grunted.
“Oh sorry. Jesse, this is Michelle.” I told him and pointed to her.
“Nice to meet you.” She said.
“Sister?” Jesse asked her.
“No. Best friend.” She said.
“Oh, you live together.” He stated.
“Yes. Well, better be going. See you later Michelle.” I told her and then left the room with Jesse. When we got down stairs Chris was at the door. He smiled when he saw me. Jesse put his arm around my waist. Chris’ smiled went to a glare at Jesse when he saw that.
“Nice to see you.” Chris said.
“You too. See you later.” I said and waved. Once we got into his car he turned on the GPS.
“Okay, since you probably don’t get a break I think we should act like we were in high school again.” I chucked. “So I decided to take you to a movie then watch a high school football game on top of a hill.”
“Okay. Lets go.” I told him. When we got to the movie theatre we got out of the car. We got to the counter.
“Can I get two tickets to Little Fockers.” Jesse said. First of all I can’t believe that I’m on a date with a twenty three year old and he is so cute and nice. The man handed him the tickets and we took our seats in the theatre. Halfway through the movie Jesse looked at me. I knew this was the part when we kissed. He leaned in and I leaned in and we kissed. It was like I was floating in air. I pulled away.
“Too much?” He asked me.
“No, no.” I told him. We watched the rest of the movie. When it was over he drove us to there high school football game. There was a spot away from the bleachers where no one was. He laid a blanket down and we sat on it. I laid back and looked at the clouds. He laid and watched them too. “I’m sorry if I went too fast.” He told me.
“Please. It was just a kiss.” I told him with a chuckle.
“So I didn’t make you uncomfortable?” He asked.
“No.” I told him.
“You sure?” He asked. I sat up and put one leg on one side of him and the other on the other side. I was sitting on him. I kissed him and then laid on top of him and kissed him. That was the second time I have had sex. I only thought of Jacob once. When we were done I slid on my pants and put my bra back on. I rolled over and cuddled with him.
“I have to go.” I told him and sighed.
“No.” He said and gave me a kiss.
“Yes. Its already eleven p.m.” I told him.
“I know you weren’t a virgin but how many times have you had sex?” He asked me. I didn’t want to answer but I did because I really liked Jesse.
“Only once before this.” I told him
“Really?” He asked and then looked at my stomach. “Sorry.”
“Its okay. I hope its a girl.” I told him. He smiled and kissed my forehead.
“Goodbye.” I told him and stood up. He stood up too.
“Don’t say goodbye.” He told me while grabbing my hands.
“Then what should I say?” I asked him.
“Say see you later.” He said.
“Fine. See you later.” I told him and then our hands slowly departed. The last touch, our finger tips, so warm. When our hands were not touching anymore I sighed and then ran off. I looked up at the moon. It was full and beautiful. I kept running. I got about a block away before I stopped. I leaned against a tall gloomy building. I took a deep breath in and then took out my cell phone. I only had one bar. I quickly called Michelle before I lost it.
“Pick me up.” I told her.
“Sh.” She told me. “Caleb’s sleeping. Where have you been! I’ve been worried sick!” She said with worry in her voice but managing to keep her voice down.
“I’m sorry.” I looked up at what road I was on. “Be here at the corner of David Street.” I told her.
“Okay.” She said then hung up. It was dark outside and
