Accidentally In Love

nine

I was cuddling with my teddy bear while watching 'The Office'. I suddenly herd a soft knock on the door, so I got out of the warm covers and dragged myself to the door. There stood every single member of magcon. "Happy early birthday!!" They cheered in sync. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that tomorrow is my birthday! I'll finally turn 17 which is like fricken goals to me.

"You guys remembered!" I said with happiness taking over me. "So, we have pairs of twos that will get to spend an hour of doing any activity they want with you!" Sam cheered; obviously excited of what she has planned with me. If you were wondering, my birthday is October 4, 1997. "Sweet! Now if you don't mind, I would like to get back to Netflix and cuddling with Ginger." I said referring to my Costco bear that is lying on my bed. They all said their 'sorry's, 'get back to what you were doing', and my favorite; 'who the hell is Ginger?'

I slightly opened my eyes and found myself lying on the floor. What the hell? I stood up and walked over to my closet to find something to wear. *outfit in the media box (#1)*. I left my hair naturally wavy and put a strand of hair pinned back. I walked over the the second bed that was next to me and started to jump on it. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!" I sang at the top of my lungs which earned Matthew and Shawn to fall off of the bed. "What the hell?" They said in sync. That's just like my reaction.

I hopped off the bed and walked over to the mini refrigerator that carried milk and water. I ate a bowl of Fruit Loops and walked out the room in search to find Sam's room. 3-21. I knocked on her door and was greeted by a blonde haired girl with bags under her eyes. "Happy birthday!" She lazily cheered. I could tell that she just woke up. "Thank you." I replied and bowed down, playfully.

I walked in her room and smelled an aroma of perfume. I hate this smell. Mahogany was already up and cheering, as for Jacob, he was fast asleep. "Wakie, wakie, jakie" I sang in his ears. "47 more minutes" he groaned while I giggled to myself. "But then you're going to miss the breakfast buffet."

"Holy crap!" He jolted

"Jacob, I'm just joking." I laughed

"You meanie." he stuck his tongue out at me and gave me the silent treatment

"Whatever." I mumbled and rolled my eyes.

"Where are we going first?" shouted with excitement. "Calm down gurl." Jacob replied with sassiness in his voice. "We can't tell you until we get there" Carter reminded me while still looking at the road. It's 3:00 and I'm so bored. So far, only 3 groups had time for me:
Taylor and Shawn: buy anything from the mall
Sam and Mahogany: got a manicure and watched a movie
Aaron, Jack, and Jack: paintball

So today has been boring instead of the paintballing. "Are we there yet?" I asked for the millionth time. "Yes, Maxie. We are here." Maxie is my nickname that they gave me the first time I met them. "LASERTAGGING!" They yelled which made me scream in surprise.

After the game, I won by 12 shots. "We just let you win." Carter protested. "Yah, that explains why you two kept tripping over blocks in attempt to shoot me." I argued while laughing. "Yes, that's exactly why." Jacob mocked.

It is 7:00 and I'm getting ready for the next present. Shawn and Taylor made me get an outfit for something planned tonight that I know nothing about. I placed on my final accessories and looked in the mirror. *outfit in the media box (#2)* I then lightly curled the ends of my long hair and was pleased by my appearance. You're finally 17, Mackenzie.

**flashback**

"Come on daddy!" I yelled as I attempted to drag my father to the large roller coaster that caught my eyes. "Hold on princess, let me just get a picture of you and Mickey Mouse!" He cheered while looking at the surprisingly short line to get a picture with the oversized mouse. I started to shake my head 'no' as fear was brought into my eyes. "What's wrong princess?" He asked in concern

"M-Mickey is too big to be a mouse"

"It's okay princess, SuperDad won't let anyone hurt you!"

"*giggles* okay daddy!"

I lifted up my arms for him to carry me, which he did. And ran across the small road of Disneyland with me giggling as I held onto his neck with my tiny arms.

**end of flashback**

A small tear slid down my cheek as I realized that I could never have memories with my father like I did when I was 6 anymore. It has been 9 years since my dad's death and in one more hour, it'll be exactly 10 years. Just like if it was on cue, Matthew walked into the room and saw me sitting on the floor with my head in my hands as small sobs came from my mouth. He didn't say a single word. Except, he picked me up and held me in his arms while whispering 'it's okay, I'm here'. Once I controlled myself, I looked up and saw him staring down at me. "Thanks Matt." I whispered and placed my head in the crook of his neck. "No problem princess."

princess.
