Wishing On Nothing Chapter 9 "Mack, we need to talk.� I heard Cassie say bringing me out of my slumber. �What? It�s only 12 in the morning. You know I like to sleep late.� I said. �I want to know what was up with you and Nick last night as in right now.� She said hastily. �Nothing was up with us at all. He wanted to know me and I couldn�t do that to him.� I said. �What? Mack, he is perfect for you! Why won�t you give any guy a chance. I swear you wouldn�t know anything if it slapped you in the face. How many times have I told you that all that matters is the future and the past is behind you?� She asked. �Cassie, I can�t just forget my past. It�s not that simple.� I said. �Mack, he would help you forget it and make you happy again the way you used to be.� She said. �No. Just please stop talking about it. It doesn�t make me want to change my mind any.� I said. �Fine but I invited all of them over today and I expect you to stay here.� She said. �What? Damnit, Cassie. Why are they coming over here?� I asked. �I asked them over for after lunch to watch some movies, try out our new game room, and for dinner. So deal with it.� She said and left the room. She always had to make everything complicated. �They will be here in an hour.� I heard Cassie yell from down the hall. �Cassie, remind me that I owe you.� I screamed. �Owe me what?� She asked. �Something very evil but I will figure that out later.� I yelled. I slowly got out of bed and headed for my closet. I grabbed some jeans and a green tank and undergarments. I decided I felt like being spontaneous so I grabbed my hair dye. It was a dark brown and I felt dark. I didn�t feel as bright of a blond as my hair usually is. I took a shower and was happy with my hair when I got out. As I got out and headed for my room I heard laughing. They must have just shown up because it was about an hour later or so. I really dread going down there. I went into the kitchen anticipating some swiss cake rolls my usual breakfast. �Hey Mackenzie!� I heard from behind me. It wasn�t a familiar voice so I turned around first. �Oh hi Brian.� I said with a small smile. �This is my girlfriend Marg.� He said pointing. She was really pretty. With a lot of freckles and green eyes. She had the exact same jaw line as Brian and it was awfully cute. �Hi Marg, nice to meet you.� I said. �Hi.� She said a little shyly. �Hey! Never thought you to be a brunette.� Came a too familiar voice from the right side of me. I turned to see Nick looking a little upset and uncomfortable. �Hi.� I said knowing the feeling he was having. �So sorry you are stuck with me today and all. I told the guys I shouldn�t come but they made me.� Nick said. �It�s ok. Just forget about it and have a good day.� I said. �Hey Mack! Why don�t you give the guys a royal tour while I run to the store!� Cassie yelled. �Alright but it�s not that royal.� I said leading them upstairs. �And to your right is my lovely room.� I pointed and they followed me in. �Who is this baby? She is precious.� Marg said looking at the picture I had of who used to be my baby. �Just a friends.� I said knowing Nick knew what I meant. �You like Orgy?� AJ asked me. �Oh yeah I love them!� I replied. Everyone laughed when they heard me say that but it didn�t make much sense. �Hey! Is that you and your boyfriend? You guys look really cute.� Howie said looking at the picture of Keith and I. �Yeah look closer.� I snapped. �Are those bruises all over you?� Brian asked. �Let�s just say life hasn't always treated me too great.� I said. I felt a hand slip into mine and it sent shivers through me. �Can we talk for a second?� Nick asked pulling me out of the room �What?� I asked. �Why are you doing this to yourself?� He asked. �Doing what?� I asked again. �This. � He said. �The only way I know how to live is with me on the downside.� I said. �Mack, I want to love you like Keith did but better but more.� Nick said as I sort of fell to the ground.Next: Chapter 10 |
