This Can't Be// Shawn Mendes

Macky

*Luke's POV*

It's fall break and I met Macky about three months ago. I was leaving band practice with Ashton and Calum, we needed another person for Guitar and that could sing. Ashton dropped us off at our homes and I went straight to the living room, my phone was ringing and it was Cameron. "Hello?"

"Aye, wanna hang out? We're going to Macky's house to make plans for this break, we'll pick you up" Cameron said offering.

I thought about it "Sure."

"Good 'cause we're outside already" he said laughing. I walked to the door and they were at the curb waiting. I shook my head laughing and walked over.

I walked with Matt and he was giving me weird looks already "Uhm, ya?" They all turned around and smiled at me "What?"

"You and Macky?" Carter smirked and moved his eyebrows up and down. I was quiet and couldn't help, but a little bit. "I knew!" I laughed at him and we continued to walk.

We walked for a good ten minutes and we ended up in a nice fancy neighborhood similar to Taylor's, but a bit bigger. "She lives over here?" Matt nodded and I looked around "This is amazing...." We walked up to a house and it was huge. "That's her house?"

Matt nodded "Ya, so don't say anything about it. Don't mention anything about the house, she hates it." We walked up few stairs and through the gate, Matt knocked on the door "Don't ask so many questions."

A little boy opened the door and immediately hugged Matt and the other guys. Cameron picked him up and they went straight to the kitchen, all made themselves comfy. I could hear a piano being played, once in a while stopping and playing again. Then there was singing afterwards "Who plays piano?" Whoever it is needs to be in my band.

Everyone stopped and another girl came down the stairs and looked at me "Mackenzie! Your animals are here! Macky!" she screamed. She called me an animal.

"She's not really a fan of us sometimes" Nash said. The girl stuck her tounge out and Nash did the same chasing her around. Who are these kids?

The piano kept going and the singing "...Now the past
Can come alive
And give it meaning
And a reason
To give all I can
To believe once again

If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadows
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me

Maybe you were just afraid
Knowing you were miles away
From the place where you needed to be
And that's right here with..." The music stopped.

"Macky, stop playing your friends are here" someone else said with a British accent. Macky could play piano and sing. Macky came down the stairs with two other elders with her as she helped them down slowly. "Now, who are you son?" I pointed at myself and he nodded.

I hesitate to answer and Macky smiled "I'm Luke, Luke Hemmings."

He shook my hand and looked at me then Macky "This is the boy you were telling me about, Mackenzie? You guys are dating?" Everyone started laughing. This is so awkward. Wait she talks about me.

"Granddad! No, you do this all the time. Why do you think every guy that comes here, I'm dating him?" Macky said, I started to notice her accent. It was really mixed together, British and Aussie. Her grandfather laughed and hugged her sides way. "This is my granddad and grandmother, everyone calls them that. That's Dylan and Brooklyn my younger siblings" we walked over to the kitchen and sat at the island.

Now everything makes sense. She uses lots of British slang and words that people don't use.

I sat next to Macky and she looked cute today, glasses, ponytail, a grey hoodie, booty shorts, and grey low top Converse. I watched her while she filled out a music sheet with notes. "Hey, so what are we going to do for break?" Nash said.

"Camping? The weather is good and it's hot out" Cameron suggested. Fun.

"Amusement park? Bonfire? Party?" Carter said.

Macky sighed and the front door opened. We looked over and Shawn walked in "Sorry, I'm late. I was helping my sister with hockey, so-" It got really tense and we made eye contact.

"So? Uhm..."

Taylor groaned "I'm just gonna say it, Shawn stop being a damn baby about Luke, at least he's making an effort to talk to Macky. You could barely talk to her since you screwed her over at the party. You either stop with your bitch fit over Luke and come or you don't." Everyone was quiet and looking at the two, Macky was looking down.

Matt clapped his hands "Well now that Taylor got that out of the way, so what do we have plan?"

"Si può fare questo [Italian: Can you make this]?" Dylan said. He held up Top Roman giving it to Macky "Si prega, im fame [Italian: Please, I'm hungry]." Macky got up and started to make some.

"Anch'io [Italian: Me too]?" Brooklyn said from the couch.

Macky groaned "Get me un po ' più alto romana dalla dispensa [Italian: Get me some more top Roman from the pantry]" Dylan did whatever Macky said. What the hell? It's weird to hear her speak a different language with her accent.

"She speaks like five languages. There's a lot you don't know about her, but that's a different story though, let's do camping" Nash said. I nodded and I was so amazed by Macky.

Macky set up the table with bowls for everyone "Come mangiare ora [Italian: Come eat]. Let's eat" the kids ran over and sat in a chair and ate the noodles. "I'm in, camping sounds fun. The weather is well, might as well. Wanna come Luke?"

I smiled at her "Ya, I'll talk to my mum about it." Matt patted my back along with Taylor.

"I'm in."

"Me too."

"Alright."

"Okay. I'll talk to Janessa about it" Taylor choked on his noodles and looked at Shawn so did Macky. They both looked shock. "What happened?"

"I'll go."

"Aye, could I bring my girlfriend?" Carter asked and Nash nodded.

"So since everyone is in, when should we go?" Matt said changing the topic. "Hello?"

I sighed and everything got awkward "Let's do this, we leave this afternoon and come back in a couple days." Matt nodded so did everyone else, but Shawn, Taylor, Macky, and Cameron.

"Okay, let's get packing now and met back here at 5:30" Nash said as he pulled Shawn out first. Then Taylor and Cameron walked out after them, I followed and hugged Macky.

She hugged me "Convince your mum to let you go. I'm gonna be lonely." I nodded and pulled away. Woah, my stomach.

"Then you better tell what I don't know, like how you play instruments, sing, all those languages, and your accent" she laughed and hugged me again. I couldn't help but smile and hug her tighter.
