A Little More Than Just Friends

Chapter 14: whipped so much you can think for yourself

Chapter 14: whipped so much you can't even think for your self

In the first few weeks that Mackenzie and Jason were discharged from hospital were the hardest weeks I'd had in a while. Lauren made daily check ups to my house as we had decided to keep Mackenzie with me and Jason. She had work and didn't want to leave Mackenzie on his own. She would drop groceries off and help me cook dinner. After about three weeks Jason was moving around more. but I couldn't say the same for Mackenzie

He pretty much kicked me out of my own room. He kept blaming himself. He wouldn't eat breakfast or lunch. Even when we gave him dinner he would hardly eat anything off it. He never talked to any one. He woke up crying and screaming. I would hush him and per him trying to give him comfort but it wouldn't work. He would just roll into a ball and pull the covers over himself. It started to scare me. He'd been like this longer than he should have been. A doctor and therapist made a house call. They gave him the all clear but even they thought it wasn't normal. Every day Jason would go in and try to snap his brother out of it. But day after day he would come out more and more defeated.

I could hear Mackenzie's soft snoring so I was ready for sleep... until he turned around and looked at me directly. He hasn't looked at any one.

"Mackenzie" I said quietly. I was so happy. But he just looked at me blankly.

"Please" I cried "talk to me" he opened his mouth. Then closed it and looked away. I felt my heart sink

"I-I can't believe what I d-did" he whispered. His voice sounded raspy from not talking for so long. Tears streamed down his face.

"Hey hey" I tried to sooth him "it wasn't your fault. That guy came from no where" he moved closer and put our foreheads together. I smiled weakly but he didn't stop. His face inched closer and closer.

"M-Mackenzie!" I cried but it was too late. As soon as our lips touched though, I knew it was meaning less. There was no emotion behind it. It was almost like he was trying to feel something again.

But hey.

I would take 1000 fake kisses from him if it meant he would feel better. And at least it was with me and not some prostitute.

But the next morning. He was gone. Me and Jason both freaked out trying to find him. When Monday came, Jason told me to go to school. I'd already missed way too much. I did as he said. And I was more or less surprised when I saw Mackenzie there

Ok I take that back. I was surprised. I was so surprised that I slapped him.

"Where the hell have you been?!" I screamed. He looked at me

"What?" I said suddenly self conscious.

"Your annoying me" he said blankly.

"I'm what!?" I yelled again

"Your. Annoying. Me" he said again "get out of my way" I moved and he walked straight up to. Yep you guessed it. Melissa. Who took his lips much too eagerly. I felt like running to Ryan and screaming with him. Then I realised. I can't

"What's your damage" Melissa asked rudely

"Nothing" I said quietly as I walked away. I heard Melissa laughing at me

"She looks like an emo whale" she told every one. You know what. If this is what it takes to make him see that she's an evil cow then fine. He'll learn the hard way. All through school I endured Melissa's new rein of terror. It's like when she has Mackenzie she's a million times worse than she normally was. It never used to be so bad though. I used to have Ryan. But now even Ryan was gone. After school I went to visit Ryan
