MACKENZIE'S POV
Standing there beside Daniel, I found myself locked in his gaze. His eyes, deep and unreadable, seemed to pull me in, and for a moment , everything around us blurred. The music, the laughter, the party-it all faded into the background. All I could hear was the not so steady thrum of my own heartbeat and the weight of the moment hanging between us. I didn't know what to say, didn't know how to process the sudden shift in the air.
But before I could figure it out , the trance was broken by a loud , excited voice."MC!" Crystal's voice pierced through the stillness, her footsteps quick as she rushed over. She wrapped her arms around me in a tight, enthusiastic hug."Oh my God, you did it ! You finally got rid of that weasel brained asshole. I'm telling you I was one sentence away from kicking his ass myself ."
I blinked , the weight of what had happened starting to sink in . Chen was gone. It was over . I saved my friendship and prevented a future heartbreak. And while part of me felt relieved , another part still felt shaken by the confrontation. But it was finally over , step one done and all I could do is laugh in celebration.
Daniel who was still standing there took a step back , clearing his throat . "I'll leave you two to celebrate," he said, his voice calm and controlled. He gave me one last unreadable look before turning and disappearing into the crowd, leaving me standing there with Crystal. Who was practically bouncing with excitement ready to destroy Chen by posting the incident on the blog.
Crystal then grinned at me."I can't believe that just happened! And Daniel? Daniel of all people? What was that? I didn't know he could be a knight in shinning amor!"
I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding."Yeah, neither did I," I muttered , still trying to make sense out of everything. I shook my head, deciding to let it go for now . "Let's dance, okay?" And so we did. The rest of the night passed in a blur of music, laughter and freedom. For the first time in ages, I felt light , unburdened and I let myself get lost in the moment with my best friend by my side.
Can't wait for what the future holds, I'll change it all, tomorrow is a new day , a new me.
