Invisible

Chapter 17

Mackenzie's POV

I don't know what came over me, for some reason I just started to cry. I was angry at my mother, but sad for some reason. I don't know I guess is just hormones right, ugh. I am sitting on Brandon's bed bawling my eyes out. He probably thinks I'm a loser, and he is probably going to kick me out of his house for being so dramatic.

But the weird part was, he doesn't. He pulls me into a hug, and tells me it's going to be okay. I like the feeling of being in his arms. There's something comforting, and soothing about his touch that sends goosebumps over my skin.

I've never had this feeling before, with any guy that I have ever met. Yeah of course I had boyfriends in the past that I thought I was in love with. But they ended up breaking my heart, and going out with slutty girls with short skirts.

Like Hope for example. She never cared about who she was dating, all she cared about was being popular. But when I'm with Brandon, he makes me happy and feel safe. He lets me be me, and doesn't care how screwed up my life is.

"In sorry." I said into his shoulder.

"Why are you sorry?" He asked, pulling away from me so he could see my face.

"I'm sorry that you have to see me like this, and I'm sorry that I'm so screwed up that you feel like you need to take care of me all the time." I said hiccuping because I'm crying so much.

"Don't be sorry, it's not your fault. You're just in a tuff situation right now. Trust me you are not screwed up, you're just a little broken and you need to be fixed." He said, looking me in the eyes.

It takes me a second to see his face because my tears are making my vision blurry. But in that moment I realized that maybe it isn't my fault all the time. Maybe I just need a little push, like when you're riding a bike, you just need a little push and then you will do it on your own.

"Thank you Brandon, you're right it just took me forever to figure that out." I said, as he wiped away some tears that escaped.

It was silent for a while, but it didn't bother me. I looked at the clock on Brandon's bedside table and it said 10:15. I can't believe it's been that long since everything happened. It seems like it was just a second ago that my dad was telling me that he was living right down the street from us.

Brandon laid down, and motioned for me to lay down with him. I laid down, and he put his arm around my waist. "Hey Brandon?" I asked tiredly.

"Yeah." He said with his eyes closed.

"What's going to happen tomorrow?" It seemed like a simple question, but for me it wasn't that simple. I wanted to know the truth because I was scared.

"I don't know. But don't worry about it, I will be with you okay?"

"Okay." I said turning around to face the wall. But something told me that it wasn't. That it would be a disaster, and I don't know if I could handle that.

How do you know if it's going to be okay? People say that it's going to be okay all the time. But does that really happen? Yeah probably only in movies, and fairy tales. How can I make it a reality? How can I make this all go away? Well I can't, but can I make it better?

"Stop thinking so much. You're going to be just fine." He said, making me turn around and face him again.

"How did you know I was thinking?" I asked confused. I didn't understand how he knew that.

"I could tell because you tense up when your thinking." He said, I knew that he was right I just didn't want to say it.

"Oh." Was all I said, I didn't know what to say.

I laid my head on his chest, and listened to the calm beat of his heart. I could feel him tracing shapes over my exposed skin on my stomach. It soothed me in a way to know that someone cared for me.

Once my eyes started to close, and get heavy I felt him kiss the top of my head.

"Good night." He whispered in my ear softly. I shivered as his breath tickled my neck.

For the first time in a long time, I finally feel at home. It makes me sad sometimes when I think about how my family was before. But right now I don't even care because I feel safe and comfortable right where I am now.
