A Little More Than Just Friends

Chapter 6: you home wrecker!

Chapter 6: you home wrecker!

I woke up almost screaming.

"Delilah. Dee-Dee it's ok. I'm here" Mackenzie said instantly bringing my breathing down. He draped his arm over my stomach. It actually kinda hurt.

"What happened?" he asked me again. I still hadn't even hinted what had happened. But I guess he knew from the blood nose and busted lip that I'd been bashed. But when it comes to who did it. He would blame JESUS. Before he blamed Melissa. And I wouldn't blame him. If I finally got the guy of my dreams I bet Mackenzie wouldn't tell me if mr. right had tried to kill him. So. Lie time

"I got cocky with this guy from the contest and it turns out. He has a girlfriend who didn't like the 'tone' I used" I tried to make it sound convincing. He seemed to believe it though

"Just one more question" he asked me, I tried to turn on my side. Bad move. I turned the other way and threw up. Thank fully. With much skill. It all landed in the bucket. He rubbed my back like the last 2 times. After he'd given me a water bottle and I spat it out into the bucket, he put his arm back over my stomach

"The question?" I croaked

"Why did you get Jason first?" he asked me. I didn't know wether he was upset or jealous. I could hardly see his face in the darkness.

"I... I don't know" I replied. It was true. Jason was the first thing that came into my mind. I don know why and I don't want to know why. But it wasn't Mackenzie. And I know what that mat be doing to him

"Do you... like... him?" Mackenzie stuttered. I thought about it

"Not like that" I said after thinking hard about it. He sighed in relief "the one I like is..." I stopped myself. Are you an idiot Dee-Dee?! you came that close to blurting it out?

"Cake" I spat out with out thinking. But I think i covered it up nicely.

"Get some sleep weirdo" Mackenzie laughed. Easy for him to say. The words to wake me up by avichii .didn't sound like a printer having a melt down gone wrong. He didn't have the worst pain in his side. And my fat arm wasn't crushing his digestive system.

Ok that was a bit mean.

"Dee-dee?" he asked, checking if I was still awake

"Yeah" I responded. I sounded like I'd been running a million year marathon

"I'm so. Sorry. I wasn't there to stop it" he said painfully. His voice was like acid. Burnt deep. He didn't know that his girlfriend. The girl he'd idolised for all these years. Was the cause of this. The pain that I'd felt. The reason I've always felt insecure about myself. The reason I'd never told him that I've loved him since forever. That blonde bitch.

"It's not your fault. I'm just stupid and weak" I told him "it wouldn't have happened if I didn't think I was better than that guy" I was sticking with the skater's girl story.

"You are better than him. You won. Remember?" Mackenzie laughed. I laughed but it wasn't real. It was one of them awkward laughs. I yawned suddenly feeling tired

"Now sleep" he ordered me and I had no problem with that. He kissed me on the cheek then buried his face in my neck. A nice end to the worst day in history.

The next day, I found myself wanting to throw a brick at myself just to get rid of the pain. What ever do you mean Dee-dee? I hear you ask. Well. Now that you've asked, I didn't want Mackenzie to know how much it actually hurt, he must already think the worst of me. I didn't want him to think I was a sook too. so I had agreed to go to the skatepark with him and show off my new found trick. The decade flip he called it. I laughed at him when he told me. So I'm riding down the street. Trying to suppress the feeling of being stabbed by the spikiest blade imaginable. But that wasn't what hurt the most.
