We get to the table I was sat at with haven before I spoke to chase I told him I'll meet him at his table I needed a moment away from all this meeting my brother thing its overwhelming to say the least I mean I started this week without even knowing I have a brother then I do some digging into my biological family and boom my mom tells me to stay away from my said brother later that day I'm sat talking to my brother who never knew I existed god why does my life have to be so chaotic,
"How did he take it?" Haven questions me as soon as I sit down I let out a deep breath i never knew I was holding before answering her "he never knew I existed but he believed me he was pissed at his mom.. our mom tho" i say "Atleast he believed you that's a good outcome" haven says as I sigh "he wants me to meet his friends as In now" I say trying to get all my thoughts in line before I go over there and quite possibly embarrass myself "can you come with me?" I ask her
"Sure" she responds getting up "Wait now?!" I practically screeched "better now then never" haven stated pulling me up from the chair I was sat on "just give me a minute to get my nerves in check" I told her "your nervous since when is Mackenzie stokes a nervous person" she asks me curiously "since I found out I have a brother and met said brother today who now wants me to meet his friends" I sigh she looks at me with a small smile as I feel a slight tap on my shoulder I take my head out of my hands
"You coming over if your to anxious you can meet them another time" chase shrugs Looking at haven who's standing up next to me confused "Chase this is haven my best friend, haven this is my brother Chase , I'll be over in a minute" I tell him he nods and walks back to the group of people I take a deep breath before standing up when haven asks me "you ready?" I answer her "as ready as I'll ever be" I don't know these people hell I hardly even know my brother so this is making me anxious which is something that never usually happens , I'm not usually the type of girl to be nervous in any situation I'm usually the most confident but not today obviously, I walk to the table Chase is sat at with his friends that I'm yet to meet he must see me walking towards him because he looks at me and motions for me to sit down on one of the two empty chairs next to him i sit down next to him as haven sits in the other spare chair
"this is my sister Mackenzie who i've only just met today" chase tells the unknown group of people which i look around the table who all looked shocked although only one certain person catches my attention he's the blonde guy from when i came to speak to chase earlier he's captivating those bright blue eyes captivating my every thought in that moment its like the world stopped when he started staring at me he smirks as i'm looking very out of place in this moment
the group of people greet me and introduce themselves exept the blonde boy who's still staring at me until he finally speaks up "how do you even know that she's really your sister she could just be lying" he tells chase looking towards him as i feel myself get upset which never usually happens "because i believe her she's showed me messages between her and my mom why wouldn't i believe her Rudy" chase says "i'm just sayin man she's probably like one of those girls who have the perfect life and she's using you" he shurgs when i speak up for the first time since i joined them "my life was never perfect it was far from it" i say as a blond girl who introduced herself as Madelyn chase's girlfriend speaks up "i believe her" a chorus of me too go a round the table from everyone except one person , it's a relief knowing that that someone believes me , I feel like a little weight has been lifted off my shoulders knowing that my brother believes me and some of his friends
It's quite at the table until I speak up "I'm just gonna run to the counter quickly" I say which makes everyone except Rudy look at me confused all the while Rudy looks relieved "thank god goodbye" he says a I look shocked but quickly recover from my shocked state as the others are telling him not to be mean I say "don't miss me to much I'll be back soon blondie" I say smirking as I walk away I hear Chase laugh and the two girls say "I like her" as haven replies laughing "yeah that's the real Mackenzie" I quickly ask if they're hiring which they are he says he can interview me next week which I agree before I walk back to the table I hear a guy who was introduced to me as jd say who says as im about to sit down "who knew a trip to chases home town would lead to a big revelation"
As soon as he said that I knew that Chase doesn't live in Maryland anymore I felt a pang of sadness and disappointment in my chest I don't let it show to haven , Chase or his friends I feel eyes on me so I look up and see Rudy staring at me with a smirk I I feel haven whisper in my ear "why are you so quiet your not acting like yourself Kenz" she asks quietly so no one would hear her I just shrug and whisper back to her "I'm okay haves I promise it's just a lot going on right now" she nods not believing me she knows me to well
"So Mackenzie where do you live?" A girl who I've learned is Maddison asks curiously "I um live down the street in an apartment with haven" I say with a small smile "Really?" Chase asks making me nod "What do you do for a living Mackenzie" a guy who i was introduced to as Drew asks me "well I'm currently unemployed because my last job couldn't afford to keep paying me and the other employees so I've just applied for a job here" I say waving my hand around the room just as I said that I hear a chuckle from across the table "is something funny blondie" just the fact that you expect me to believe your related to Chase as of today.. when you don't even have a job which's gives you more of a motive to use him" he shrugs "excuse me but your life may have been great from the day you were born but guess what some of us wasn't that lucky and if you knew me you would know that I don't use people if anything people use me" I snap pushing my chair back I walk over to the bathroom I walk in there and take a deep breath
how dare he think he could just get away with saying that especially when he doesn't even know anything of what I went through no one knows sure haven knows a little but not to the extent of what happened , it was things I never would have imagined until the days it happened..I've never told anyone even haven what happened in my darkest years of my life it's also something that I wouldn't like to tell anyone until I'm ready to do so because I know once I do nothing will ever go back to normal, the way it hurts so bad will always be in my mind the pain will forever remain in my scattered thoughts
