Beached Secrets

Worst truck ever

I hop into the back seat of his truck as he closes the door. As he hops in the other side I say, "you did great today!! You only fell off twice!!!" He just gives me a smile and a grimace mixed into one cute face. We had just gotten back from our first training sessions do he did wayyyyyy better then I expected. We start driving down the road making small talk when suddenly the truck just stops in the middle of the street. Emmet starts cursing and pounding his fists on the steering wheel. He mutters something "this is a stupid good for nothing shit dump of a car." I could barley hear it though. He gets out of the car and opens the hood. Another string of swear word come out. I hop out and sneak up behind him tiptoeing and looking over his shoulder resting my chin on his shoulder. "What's wrong with the truck?" I ask. He replies with "the casket is blown and now I need to go in to the shop. Sorry about this, you can come with me if you want? A couple of my buddies work there so you could meet them." I nod my head and hop back in the open trunk. He climbs in to and pulls out his phone says a few sentences into it and then confirms "the truck will be here in ten minutes" he smiles at me and lays down with his face up, I follow suit. I tie up my shirt to my mid stomach because it's still wet and then I realize something, I'm still wearing his shirt, "do you want your shirt back? I mean I could always take it off and give it to you so u don't have to be
Shirtless." I say really quickly. He turns his head and says " it will be
Better for you if you have a shirt on in front of my friends, if you only have your bikini on...they'll go crazy." After that I swore I heard him Mumble "but who could blame them?"
"What was that emmet?"
"Nothing" he smile a mischievous grin and pulls me towards him and starts tickling me to death. I start laughing and squealing as he continues "EMMET AHHHH STOP TICKLING MEEEEEE" I gasp out between laughs.
"Wow, Emmet who's the hot chick?" I new voice says.
Emmet lets go of me and turns around and fist pumps the guy. " Mackenzie, this is my buddie mark. Mark meet Mackenzie, Mackenzie meet mark." He says with a bright smile. "Hi" I say shyly as I awkwardly get up and walk over to mark he gives me his hand and helps me down from the trunk, "hey" he says. My eyes connect with his. He has sandy blonde hair that's swept out of his face and he's got green eyes. As I get out of the truck he bows and says "I am mark, thou friends of thou idiot emmet." Emmet hops of the truck and slaps mark on the back of the head "your a fine one to be talking." Emmet retorts and then proceeds to stick his tongue out. Mark follows with that action.
"For two hot 18 year old boys you two are very mature." (Note the sarcasm) I say. I notice that I called them hot and immediately I wanted to take it back because once they processed that I had called them hot, emmet said to mark "I believe someone thinks we are hot." Then mark said "yes someone does, care to explain Mackenzie?" I started to stutter and then finally said "what? I didn't call you---okay maybe I did. Doesn't mean that I meant it." My cheeks start to get red and mark changes the subject by saying "well we better get going because tilly is gonna get mad if we're not there in 30 minutes so let's get going." We head over to the truck and we decide that me and emmet will sit in the back of the tow truck together (AN: I'm not sure if you can do that but what ever. I don't care I'm the writer and I'm magical.) mark and emmet get the truck hooked up and in 5 minutes were on the highway. Emmet and I are lying down looking at the clouds and he says "hey Mack!-" I sit bolt upright, and look at him. He must have sensed something was wrong because he said "hey Mackenzie you alright?! Are you sick!" I quickly and quietly reply "no I'm fine" as I wipe away my tear that had fallen from my eye. He takes my hands away from my face and holds them and says "hey Mackenzie something's not wright, and you need to tell me, can't you trust me!? Mackenzie if it's something that I did I need to know so I don't do it again." I stare at his soft blue/green eyes they have a look of sadness and concern. I have a urge to tell him and cry wile he holds me in his strong arms. All of a sudden he starts rambling on "Mackenzie just tell me! Please!!! I don't want to hurt you and I thought we were-" "it was my dad" I blurt out, when I said that his face instantly softened. "Go on" he says in a whisper. "I was 16 (AN: she's 17 now going on to 18 in a month.) and I was Surfing with my dad and I left him out in the ocean alone because he told me to so I rode in to the shore. At this point tears were streaming down my face. "Emmet, he died that day and it was all my fault, and the reason why I started to cry was he used to call me Mac, and nobody else calls me that." Emmet just looks at me with big sad eyes. Then he says "I'm so sorry Mackenzie, I didn't know. Mackenzie, it wasn't your fault. " I look down and let a tear fall down my face. He tilts my face up and says "hey look at me, I'm here for you." He wipes the tears away from my face. I carefully turn towards him for a hug and his arms are already open. I gladly let his strong warm arms embrace me and pull me closer to his body. He breaths on the top of my head and he strokes my hair saying "it's okay, you'll be okay." We sit like this until I stop crying, I look up at him and he looks down at me. We were so close together. " OKAY WERE HERE!!" He lets go of me and grabs my hand slowly as he asks "you ready to meet the gang?" I giggle a little and nod my head. As we park I. The lot emmet looks over at me And is about to say something, but I stop him and say "emmet I am fine, don't worry!" He rolls my eyes and I laugh. The truth is that normally I say I'm fine and its a lie but this time I was telling the truth. Emmet made me feel safe and protected. Like nothing could hurt me.
