From Texas with love

Summer trouble

A few weeks after the bqq Lucas was waiting in the Prescott's kitchen for Massey while she was checking on some of the horses in the stables. Massey had left her phone on the counter and it had buzzed several times. When he heard yet another alert go off Lucas decided to check it, concerned that it could be Massey's father needing something. Whatever Lucas had been expecting, it sure wasn't the messages that had popped up.

'Lucas can do better than you.'

'Your nothing but trouble and a bully to Riley.'

'Go away, get lost you're not wanted.'

Lucas read the text and slowly set down the phone. Massey was being cyberbullied. His rage burned like a fire in the pit of his stomach. But Lucas knew he had to be rational about this. Massey wouldn't want him to hurt anyone. So Lucas started to think about who could be doing this. Maya was a distinct possibility, she had tried to bully Massey at school and as they didn't see her or Riley in the summer cyberbullying would be another way to hurt his girlfriend. Biting his lip. Lucas lifted the phone again and checked who was sending the messages. There were two conversations from SmileyRiley and Blondebad.

Lucas gritted his teeth, of course it was Riley and Maya. Glancing to make sure Massey wasn't on her way back yet he took photo with his phone of the messages and logged in to his own Facebook page, where he noticed the names again, trying to send him messages. Hesitantly, Lucas opened the message request.

'Hey hot stuff!'

'Omg! You're so handsome!'

Lucas rolled his eyes and checked his public message board.

'Check out his girlfriend page, she's so ugly! He's obviously just with her because he feels bad for her. She's never going to have anyone interested in her for real. It's all a lie.'

Lucas sucked in his breath and quickly navigated to Massey's Facebook page, praying that Riley and Maya weren't posting stuff on there too. But at the very top of the messages were a few comments from SmileyRiley and Blondebad.

'Hey ugly, you're not worthy of such a hunk!'

'How can you be dating him? He's way too hot for you.'

'You know he's not actually into you right?'

'Do yourself a favor and stop hanging out with him. He deserves so much better than you. You're just holding him back.'

He took photos of Massey's message board and clicked the profile of another mean commenter, noticing that the girl in the profile picture looked like Missy Bradford, one the school's mean girls, and wrote her username down.

The second girl who commented was harder to find because the photo used was fake. The username was KittyGlitter so Lucas wrote that down to do more searching and have as evidence.

Massey was in the stables, checking on the horses and panicking. She was trying not to show it but she was really upset and her hands shook as she thought about the messages she'd been getting. The messages had been getting worse all summer. Massey didn't know if she wanted to tell her Dad, he was already really busy, but Massey just couldn't think of what to do about it all.

"Hey, Massey, you here?" Ravi stepped inside the stable, he had been coming by more recently as he was going to be attending John Quincy Adams Middle School next year.

"Yeah, Ravi, I'm in here. I'm just checking on Star and her foal." Massey quickly swiped her tears from her cheeks.

Ravi however could see that her eyes were rimmed red and the telltale tear tracks were still visible "Are you okay? You look upset."

Massey hesitated before waving off his concern "It's okay, it's nothing. Are you excited to be coming to John Quincey Adams with Lucas and I? You're in Mr. Matthews class too, right?"

"Yes, I am!" Ravi brightened immediately "Jessie still thinks it's a bad idea, but Mrs. Mommy and Mr. Daddy are happy that I've got good friends there already."

"I'm glad." Massey smiled "What about your siblings?"

"They're happy too, well except for Emma. She could not care less, she's sulking because Lucas is taken." Ravi rolled his eyes.

Massey frowned wondering if Emma was a part of the mean messages. She had gotten some nasty ones from someone with the username KittyGlitter. But she quickly shoved that thought out of her head as Lucas came into the barn.

"Hey, sugar, you okay?" Lucas asked, concern lacing his features.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Lucas. Why do you ask?" Massey blinked nervously.

"I found some messages on my Facebook and yours. I took some screenshots and sent them to your Dad. What's going on hun?" Lucas looked at Massey carefully, like she was a glass figure seconds away from shattering.

Massey knew she was found out and took a deep, shuddering breath before she started to tell Lucas and Ravi everything.
