Chapter 26: What You Mean To Me

Chapter 26:

Tuesday morning I got another text message. I had been getting them like crazy after Mason left.

I wasn't going to text him back though, he lied to me and I honestly didn't even feel like seeing his face.

Why would he do that to me? He was 22 years old? Why did he lie to me? Was it like my father said, he just thought he could lie to me because I was younger?

The sound of a text message came again on my phone.

I groaned and looked at it.

"For you." It said.

I was confused but then I clicked it.

It was a video of Mason playing guitar.

I was going to turn off my phone and put it away when I saw him stroke his guitar strings and start to hypnotize me, like he did the first time I heard him play guitar.

Was it weird that one minute I was mad, and then I was sad, I didn't miss him and then I did, I wasn't crazy about him and then I was?

"Can't blame you, for thinking, that you never really knew me at all." He sang looking like he was going to cry.

"I tried to deny you, but nothing ever made me feel so wrong. I thought I was protecting you from everything that I go through but I know that we got lost along the way.... Here I am with all my heart I hope you understand, I know I let you down but I'm never gonna make that mistake again, you brought me closer to who I really am come take my hand, I want the world to see what you mean to me, what you mean to me."

"Just know that I'm sorry
I never wanted to make you feel so small
Our story is just beginning
But let the truth break down these walls (oh yeah yeah)

And every time I think of you
I think of how you pushed me through
And show me how much better I could be"

"Here I am with all my heart
I hope you understand
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make
That mistake again
You brought me closer
To who I really am
Come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me (yeah)

You make me feel like I'm myself
Instead of being someone else
I wanna live that every day
You say what no one else will say
You know exactly how to get to me
You know it's what I need
It's what I need yeah

Here I am with all my heart
I hope you understand (I hope you understand)
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make that mistake again (that
mistake again)
You brought me closer
To who I really am
So come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me
What you mean to me"

I went away from the video after that and called Mason's number with teary eyes.

"Hello?" He answered right away.

"Mason, I want to ask you something." I said tearing up even more.

"Nadine? Is that you? Sure anything what is it?" He asked quickly, as if he thought I was going to hang up if he didn't answer right away.

"Why did you do it?" I asked sniffling.

He sighed heavily.

"Nadine, it's complicated." He said.

"Fine!" I said angrily about to hang up the phone.

"Fine, fine, I'll tell you."

"When we met in the doctors' office and I saw you I thought since you asked what grade I was in I figured you thought I was a teenager and you were one too so I lied." He admitted.

"How could you Mason!?!" I said angrily.

"I.."

He started but I interrupted him.

"What about the car HUH, and breaking into that girls' house when her parents weren't home?"

"I stole the car because someone was trying to kill me... He had a gun, and I didn't bring my car with me...It had broken down and I asked the guy if he could help me fix it and he said "give me all yo money!" So I ran and he chased me, firing at my feet the whole time."

"What about the girls' house?" I asked angrily.

He sighed heavily. "She was my ex-girlfriend, I met her at a bar and we dated for a couple of weeks, and one time after a ton of drinks at the bar, I think she drove me to my house or something like that and stole a lot of my stuff."

"My laptop, a few pairs of my underwear." He said sounding weirded out.

"Your underwear?" I asked sounding disgusted. "Why your underwear?" I added.

"I have no idea, I never slept with her, It was to make her ex-boyfriend jealous I think, my IPod. I just wanted it back, that's all." He said.

"So was she a teenager too?" I asked crossing my arms.

"No, she just didn't live very well off; she still lived with her parents." He said sighing.

"Yeah, and that's really what happened?" I asked scoffing.

"Yeah, I SWARE I'M NOT LYING THIS TIME, PLEASE YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I'M SORRY I LIED I JUST, I...."

"Bye Mason." I said hanging up.

Was he really sorry?
