chris never thought he would fall for a fan. to be fair, he never thought he would fall for anyone, period. but seeing the way mackenzie lights up the room with her laugh, or making everyone else laugh with her jokes and sarcasm has made his feelings for the girl grow. 

she's got him upside down. 

every minute spent with her results in the lingering feeling of butterflies swarming his stomach and his heart aching, longing to actually be with her. for a while, chris denied his feelings. but now, seeing her look so much prettier than she already was in person, he finally admitted it to himself.

he was falling for mackenzie harper. he was in love with mackenzie harper. and he had to tell her before he leaves for boston in two days. the only problem? today is monday. mackenzie lives in her dorm mondays to thursdays and only lives at her house on weekends. the triplets leave on wednesday. chris thinks about and weighs his options.

1) send her flowers and a card with his confession

2) surprise her at school

3) text her. 

he could send her flowers, but the possibility of someone else taking them was high. he could surprise her at the school, but he wasn't sure if they would allow him on campus during school hours for anything other than a college visit. so, ultimately, chris decides on option three: texting her.

ALSO

if u didnt see my announcement, i'm grounded rn and i got my phone taken away so the only time i can write is when i'm in school or home alone with my laptop. because of this, updates might be less frequent but i'm trying to get as much done on the side as possible so even though i'm not updating, i'm definitely writing!
