That's Where You Take Me

Alex Varkatzas

Brian stood there staring at Median and she didn’t move. No one did. They said not a word and the silence suddenly shattered when music suddenly started playing. Everyone stopped then.

Look how pretty she is when she falls down
Now there’s no beauty in bleeding mascara
Lips are quivering like a withering rose
SHE’S BACK AGAIN
(Bleeding Mascara - Atreyu)


“Who the hells phone plays Atreyu?” Zack asked looking around.

“Not mine” Leana said and Lacey shrugged.

“It’s coming from over there…” Johnny said pointing towards Median and Michelle’s group of people.

“Michelles ass is ringing…”Rowan said.

“Shit…Alex…”

“Alex?” Everyone asked looking at Michelle with raised eyebrows.

“Who?” Brian asked.

“Oh is that your husbands name?” Median asked. Michelle cocked her eyebrow at the girl.

“Her what?” Rowan asked

“When the hell did that happen?” Leana asked

“Can I just answer this please?”

“Fine” Lean and Rowan said.

“But we want some answers dammit.” Lacey said.

“Uhm sure…” Michelle said shaking her head. They watched as she hit the button on her phone and several people moved towards her. She glared at them.

“Hey”

“Hey, where are you?”

“Uhm, Matt and Rowan were having a party…”

“I was just wondering, because I’m home…”

“You’re home?” There was a smile in her voice and the whole gang saw it. “You’re not supposed to be what happened? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, Brandon tore a ligament and we’re home for a few weeks because of it.”

“Oh so you’re okay then?”

“Yeah”

“Thank God”

“I love you Alex”

“I love you too baby.”

“So do you want me to come home?”

“No, stay have fun with you’re friends…”

“Invite him over…” Matt said. Michelle raised an eyebrow.

“Are you sure?” Michelle asked.

“Oh…we’re positive.” Rowan said nodding.

“It’s okay we don’t mind really.” Matt said. Michelle shrugged.

“They said to come on over.”

“Okay give me ten minutes to ditch the dirty clothes I have on and shower and I’ll be there.”

“Okay, see you in a few babe.” And Michelle hang up the phone. They were all looking at her weird.

“SPILL” Frankee said from Zack’s lap.

“Uhm…”

“So who’s Alex?” Rowan asked

“Uhm well”

“C’mon tell us… it’s not like we’re not about to find out.” Rowan said grinning.

“Damn Karma bit someone in the ass today.” Lacey said and Michelle glared at Lacey.

“She has a point”

“Hush Rowan, stop glaring at Lacey and give us the information we want…” Leana said.

“Are all women this relentless?”

“Wait until you get one pregnant.”

“Are you saying I’m pushy?” Rowan asked raising her eyebrow at Matt.

“No he said relentless…” Matt was interrupted by a heavy blasting of music from the front of the house. “…What the hell…?”

When I get high
I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's
A drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Always got the cops
Coming after me
Custom built bike doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
(Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart)


“Alex!” and Michelle took off around the house. Everyone got around the house in time to see Michelle be wrapped in the mans arms and receive a kiss from him. When the couple pulled apart there was a shine in Michelle’s eyes and Matt and the others got a look at the mans face.

“You have got to be kidding me…” Matt started

“No fucking way…” Jimmy said

“What the fuck…?” Was what came out of Brian’s mouth.

“That’s not who I think it is?” Zack said

“It definitely is…” Johnny stated

“Hey…I know him from somewhere.” Was Lacey’s two cents

“Yeah… he looks really familiar…” Frankee said tilting her head to the side.

“HOLY SHIT!!”

“What?” Leana asked.

“Michelle! When the fuck were you planning on telling us you and Mr. Varkatzas hooked up?”

“Eventually? And we didn’t just hook up Ro.”

“They’re married.” Median said.

“Speaking of, how in the hell did you know before me?”

“She told me?” Median asked

“But I’m her best…friend…” Rowan said.

“Uh oh…” Matt said watching her.

“What?” Zack asked as Rowan sniffed.

“Oh God…” Median muttered backing away like a few of the others had.

“Okay… not good…” Jimmy said as Rowan’s eyes began to water.

“MATT!” Lacey yelled

“I didn’t fucking do anything! Why are you yelling at me?”

“You got her pregnant!” Frankee said

“Rowan's never this emotional... what the fuck did you do?” Johnny said looking at Matt as Rowan started crying.

“Ro…” Michelle started.

“Huh?” She sniffed in response.”

“Sweetie… I was gonna tell you but she…” Michelle looked helplessly from Brian, to Median, to Alex and then back at Rowan.

“She what?”

“She thought I was with Brian.”

“Why would she think that?” She asked as she wiped away the tears looking confused.

“Because Michelle had to drag my ass here.” Brian muttered.

“Again why?”

“Cos he wasn’t gonna come.” Michelle said.

“And why weren’t you going to come?” Rowan asked frowning at Brian.

“Good question… you’re turn to answer some…” Lacey said from beside Johnny.

“Uhm… I’m not having this discussion.” Brian said.

“Oh yes you are…” Leana said.

“Don’t make me call your dad again Brian.” Michelle threatened from the safety of Alex’s arms. Where she seemed to be quiet content.

“What the hell is with calling my dad all of a sudden? I’m a grown ass man.”

“Because, aside from Rowan kicking your ass, it’s the only way to get you to do thing.” Zack said.

“That is so not true.”

“You didn’t want to be here either?” Median asked softly directing the question to Brian.

“You weren’t gonna show?” Brian asked
