Diversity - Up Close And Personal Book 1

New Beginnings

McKenzie P.O.V
"How come it took you so long ?"

"Because Perri I'm scared. Growing up my parents got a divorce , Sierra and Warren we were all there for that one.

And half of my aunt's and uncle's broke up.

All of their relationships ended because of heartbreak.

And with the Sophie and Justin drama I don't know if I can take it all in.

I'm scared to love Perri" I admit.

As I tell him I feel weights being lifted off my shoulders.

It does feel good to tell someone how I feel.

I haven't been in many relationships just because I've always been screwed over in the ones that I've been in.

I want to be happy I want to love again but my emotions just won't let me just from all the heartbreak its been through.

"McKenzie but I can teach you how to love again.

But I can't get through you if you keep putting up this wall of denial and negativity" he tells me.

I feel a warm tear roll down my cheek.

It's just humiliating I mean , love is one of my biggest insecurities just because everyone I have ever loved had been taken away from me.

And I don't want to lose Perri I really don't.

"Perri I want to be with you I really do. But if I love you I'll lose you and I can't risk that I just can't" I cry.

It's just hard for me to love just because Diversity is the only thing I've ever loved that hasn't been taken away from me.

I just can't risk it I can't.

"Listen to me. I can help you love again. Please just give me a chance.

I told from the beginning that I would fight for you. This is me fighting for you McKenzie. Please just put down the wall and let me in" he begs.

All I've wanted to do was to be with him.

Is it worth it ?
Will he screw me over ?
Will I lose him ?

"Ok I'll let you do it. I'll be with you"

Perri smashes his lips onto mine.

I guess this the start of a new beginning.

Warren P.O.V
I'm so nervous.
How will they react ? I just hope they're supportive like they always are.

Sierra and I walk into the studio to find the guys stretching for rehearsal.

When they see us the all stop and stare.

Did I mention we were holding hands ?

"Ok what have you guys been up to ?"Jordan asks playfully.

"Well we actually have some news" I say.

They all looked at us.

"Well Sierra is pregnant and I'm gonna take the place of the father"

They all gasp.

"That's a lie" Ike says.

"Yeah what if this is one of her tricks. You seen how she tricked you last time" Terry says.

"Yeah but she's changed"

"That's what they all say" I hear Sam.

"Sierra a word outside" McKenzie says.

Sierra looks at me I give her a nod and they walk outside.

McKenzie P.O.V
I'm not surprised. I know what she's playing at. She's my sister and I know her from the inside and out.

We walk outside to the front of the studio when I speak up.

"What are you playing at ?" I ask

"You don't believe me ?"

"Sierra your my sister. And you've lied about a baby before so tell the truth"

"I am I really am look at the test"

She hand me the stick and it says positive.

"Ok but I'm watching you. And if you dare to hurt Warren again you'll be sorry" I warn her as I walk inside.

You see Sierra is a bit mental in different ways which is why I have to keep a certain eye on her.

I guess I'm not the only one off to a new beginning.

McKenzie and Perri are together.
Do you ship it.

Well Sierra is pregnant.
Or is she.
