No Second Chances Book 1

Chapter 3 - I miss you

  I turned around and saw it was Tate, Brittney's best friend. His eyes scanned my body realizing I wasn't who he thought I was. It was quite a shock to him.

Am I that scary?

"Tate! It's Lacey" I told him since it was dark and hard to tell. His face looked as pale as a ghost.

"Oh shit. Lacey, i'm so sorry. I thought you were Brittney. I was gonna tell her how I felt about her tonight," His face turned to a really bright shade of pink. He looked embarrassed to tell me this. I looked around trying to think of a good explanation to tell him it was okay.

"It's okay. Go get her tiger!" I said trying to sound enthusiastic. He left the room, and as a turned around again I met another face. He had on a smirk, his dark brown hair was shining. He looked decent for his age. Not my type, but I was hoping Brittney's at least. It would be disappointing to be rejected. Especially by your best friend.

"And you are?" I asked trying to sound clueless. "I'm not Dr. Phil if you mistook him for me. I only help people with 'certain' problems. Goodbye" I left the room leaving Chance Klaus there jaw dropped. Yes, Chance Klaus. The famous singer who melts every girls heart. Not mine though! I figured out his tricks the moment he came. Of course he's good looking, but he can't fool me. He might got my younger sisters fooled. But it's my job to protect them, and eat all the ice cream in the world together. 

"Lacey right?" He asked right as I slammed the door in his face. I walked in the room right as Tate asked Britt. The pink on his face was still there but her expression was even better. She had on a huge smile like she couldn't believe it.

"Yes!" She replied giving his a big kiss on the lips. Oliver and Miranda had just finished singing.

"I'm so proud of you," Kristen told Brittney. I looked at Brittney with a look on my face telling her not to believe Kristen. Kristen is pretty and all, but you know not to fall for her lies. She was just trying to get back in our family that disowned her. If Kristen was still apart of her family, she would've been a model.She had our mothers looks, but our great grandfathers stories. I looked around at all the guests, no one was standing still. The main wall was going through pictures as if everyone was going through a photo album. I looked around once more to find the mysterious man, and his friend gone.

"Lay," Maddie said pulling on my arm. I was confused.

"Lay where?" I told her as I kneel down to a 4 year old Maddie.

"No silly!" She exclaimed." Lay as in a nickname!" It made more sense. Sometimes around kids you just lose your mind for a minute or two. They are just so adorable! Maddie's front teeth had fell out, so you just want to give her a big hug! That's how cute she is.

"Yes sweetie?" I asked, giving her my sweet voice.

"This nice guy said you looked really pretty!" 

I mumbled to myself for a little bit knowing it could be her imagination. I was wearing a turquoise dress with my blond hair curled.The dress made my dark blue eyes pop out. I put on a little make up. I didn't put on shoes since we were in a house, so I just wore stockings. I coujldn't see whats pretty about that.

"Or really now?" I said.

"Yep!" She mentioned while walking away. A couple hours later after meeting with record dealers I went up to my room to get undressed because the party was over and the kids were already in bed, so I didn't see why I had to stay up. I had a job in the morning anyway. I took off my butterfly necklace I had hidden. It was a symbol for love, and life.  My grandmother had given each child a necklace of a animal that had a meaning. The butterfly had been my favorite animal since.I put on my pajamas and said my prayers.

"I love and miss you grandma, please take care of grandpa and mom and dad, Sid, Britt, Ollie, Maddie, me, Kristen and her daughter, James, Tyler, Miranda, Ace, Jaden, Marilyn,Jordan, Matt, and Frankie and everyone else I have forgot. Amen" and with that I fell asleep.
