So much has gone on. I would've logged more had I had a internet connect. But atleast I have one. With that being the case, let me go straight to what happened today.
Well, it started out hectic today. Michelle's parents had said a week ago that they wanted to come. So ok, we decided they could come, in the afternoon. So we started to clean our room and get ready. We get a phone call. IT's them, the car is broke down. So it seems like they not coming. Me and Michelle essentially kill just about the rest of the day. We walk to Post office, cook, eat oreo cake. Day seemed like it was going to end uneventful. I was wrong.
We had just got done watching "the beauty and the Beast" on the laptop *b-day gift from alex, what a friend, more on another entry* when I hear some Asian in my window. Michelle says Oh MY GOD! I'm like what is it. She says, "MY MOM IS HERE" I'm like what?! So we rapidly get ready. We're worried because Lorenzo has been waiting to see her parents to yell at them so they could take her back. So we run out. They're they are, her parents.
They size me up and i do the same. So this is them I'm thinking. They talk to my mom for a minute and then waltz right into the house, no invite or anything. They start to walk around and nose in on the rooms. i'm thinking, NO THEY"RE NOT. But yes they are. Michelle is getting ready.
We get outside and first thing they ask me is my age. They knew I was 21 but, they couldn't believe it, I actually look 13. Hey, if it was up to me, I would be, free pills and mri's for my freakin head. Anyways, we get in their van and thier are her sisters. They look similar to her, and its not just my belief that asians look similar either. *HEh* So off we go, to find them a motel.
I get them one that's pretty decent no more than 3 miles away from here. They wouldn't want to be around here. As they seen for themselves, its not as nice as they had thought. When I say I live in the ghetto, I mean it. What they expect. They ofcourse slightly criticized the area. We then go to eat.
We end up at this asian place. We get a table for 7 and the parents order. Very rude in my opinon. They don't ask my opinion as to what I'd like to eat. A cultural trend I guess I understand but don't much like. They ask some basic questions like my major and gpa. They then start to ask how much I make. Why I pay rent and other stuff. The mother then starts the big thing with, "I want my daughter to go back home" So in the politest way possible, I point out she is happy and is doing find in college. They start ching chowing all over and I don't know what they're saying but it's about me. I don't like that. Eventually, the brother translates some stuff. They think she'd be better off with them. I reminded them that she wasn't happy thier and her grades slipped when she was at UCR. It seemed like they didn't care what I said. They continued with thier argurment. It was me vs. them. I kept looking at Michelle for some backup but NO, none! So it's tense and I keep being forced to try thier food. I don't care for roasted donald duck, thank you very much. They then insist that she go with them to the motel w/o me. I insist on going. It's not quite over but dinner is over. I say I have to go to the bathroom. I have michelle come with me.
I ask her if she trusts them. She don't. She tells me that her dad has hit her before for lesser things. So I ask her if she wants me to go to the motel. She says yes. We go to the van
In the van, they start to drive toward my house. I tell them where the motel is but they dont care, they want me home. So we end up parked in front of my house. They say bye. I'm like, NO, I don't think so. Not without michelle. Or take me to the motel. You guys have 2 choices. So more ching chowing amongst themselves. After that, they start to yell at michelle. I tell them I'm not some evil poessive boyfriend they may think I am. I explain to them that I am doing this because Michelle wants me to. If she wanted me to go back home, I'd listen to her. So they try to insist I just go. After seeing that isn't going to work. Again with the ching chowing. It's annoying, what the hell they say to her. Eventually, she tells me to go inside the house. I look at her like "are you ok" She insists I go. *alot of insisting going on isn't there* So I slowly leave the van. I look at the van as it drives off with her.
I walk in the house to find my mom there. SHe notices Michelle isn't with me. She asks if they took her. I explain the situation. My mom tells me that she probaly was using me and if she comes back, then she really loves me. While I know she isn't using me, I know I had taken a risk by not going. They told me before I left the van that they'd pick me up tomorrow to go to San Fran with them. *why san fran?* Anyways, after arguing with my mom, she tells me to be strong. *real advice from her? today is haywire* I walk in my room. It's lonely without her. I talk to my lil bro and sis because I needed someone to talk to. After them, I go on my netzero and come online to chat to alex. He is in the chat window as I write. He's a great friend. MOre later
I miss Michelle. I wonder if they try to take her, then what? What if she wants to go? I doubt it but possible. Will they come in the morning to pick me up, or is that just a lie. I have a bad feeling. I hope I'm wrong. This isn't the end though. I don't go down w/o a fight. That is all for now.

Praying.
>^..^<
I'm sorry about what's been going on with Michelle & her parents. Her parents are behaving atrociously by making such reasonable demands of her.
I'll pray for the two of you Tinox & keep my fingers crossed as well that it'll all work out.
Meanwhile, trust in God & keep your chin up, ok?
*hugs*
