I Know He Thinks He's Awesome

John: Ok I can explain

At this point we three stood there just staring at him. I mean the audacity! Not to sound sadistic but I knew almost all of John's secrets and I will use it if need be

John: Wait. Hold up hold up hold up

Who told you I was sick?

Mai: That's the first thing you have to "explain"?

Celine: Unbelievable

Claire: I did

John: You bitch you had no right....

Celine: Not another word from you John. I want you out of here...NOW

John: Hey baby wait let's not get carried away here.. hehe

Ok look all my stuffs outside...

Claire: What do you mean....

Celine: Outside?

Claire: Mom?

Celine: Well John you can take your stuffs and go

Claire: Unbelievable mom. Really? Really? You were gonna let him? Him come stay here?

Celine: Beau please not now

Claire: I said don't call me that and of course ... not now just means never doesn't it...mom

Mai: Ummm Claire I think something is wrong...ugggg

Before we could ask what was going on Mai was on the floor.

She'd fainted.

My mom wouldn't stop saying omg while I just rushed to get the phone and call for an ambulance.

The ambulance got there in no time and we went with Mai to the hospital.

John had split of course. Typical John. What an asshole.

My mom and I just sat at the hospital cafeteria holding hands and praying silently that everything was gonna be ok.

Seemed like an interesting time to talk.

Claire: what did you see in John Celine?

Celine: I don't know Claire. What did you see in him

Ouch

Claire: Well that's about it for a conversation

I'm gonna go call Mai's parents

Celine: I already called them. They should be on their way.

Claire: Good...thanks

Celine: sure.....

And you know it wouldn't kill you to call me mom you know!

Claire: Will you ever stop calling me Beau?

Celine: Never

Claire: Same here

Celine: I love you all the same baby

You're all I got

I want you to be happy

But I also want to be happy!

Can you understand that?

I felt bad for my mom.

For the first time in a while she'd actually said she loved me.

Some part of me just wanted love or knowing and being reminded that I wasn't a nothing. A loser.

I felt sad that I may have cause Mai to be in the hospital and now my mom might be sick too?

Sheesh Claire you've got a real flair for the dramatic.

I wanted to tell her I loved her too by the way but I couldn't bring myself to say the words.

Celine: Did you hear what I just said?

Claire: Yeah I heard

Celine: Don't you have anything to say to me?

Just as I was about to answer the doctors came in and same time Mai's parents came in

Mrs. Kendrick: Hey Claire, Celine

What happened?

Doctor: Are you the parents?

Mr. Kendrick: Yes we're all family. What is my daughter's status doc?

Doctor: I've got some sad news...

Ummm she lost the baby

Mrs. Kendrick: baby? What baby?

Mr. Kendrick: Doc think you're mistaken. Hehe. We're Mai-Anne's parents?

Doctor: Mai-Anne Kendrick? Am I correct?

Mrs Kendrick: Yes doctor. That is our daughter, and I'm pretty sure if my daughter were pregnant I'd know, right Dom?

Doctor: ok I see

Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick you're daughter was pregnant

Four months pregnant and she lost the baby due to stress and other factors that.....

Mrs. Kendrick: stop...please don't say that...my my my daughter isn't...wasn't pregnant

Mr. Kendrick: Doc is she ok?

Mrs. Kendrick: yes please Doc. Is she ok?

Doc: yes she is now and I'd say it was good that she didn't carry the baby to term. Your daughter has a condition that prevents her from carrying a child to full term.

And right now she's awake but I'd like to keep her under supervision for a day or two till I'm certain she can go home.

Please Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick I'd like a private word in my office if you would

Ashe turned away Mrs. Kendrick turned to me and started asking me if I knew anything about the pregnancy but her husband told her it wasn't the time for such and they should go meet doctor.

As they walked off I turned to my mom and said.

Claire: Celine? I think since we're here, you should get tested

Celine: I know....

My mom looked real sad

I felt bad all over again

I mean my best friend was ok now

But my mom though!

What was wrong with me?

I destroy everything I touch. I was a curse.

That's all I had to say to myself

I took my mom's hand into my own

She was shaking from the crying

Claire: mom look at me....

I will be here

For you

And I...I...love you ok

No matter what.

Celine: Thank you for than honey.. you don't know how much this makes me feel

She stood off

Ok I'm gonna call Don and Zoe and tell them what happened

As I turned to move towards the bathroom I saw him.

Walters

Fuckin Walters

And he was coming towards me

What do I do...what do I do...

I picked up a magazine near by and tried to cover my face but it was too late

Walters: Hey Claire.

We'll fuck me...
