The Styles Triplets

Chapter 16

McKenna's POV:
I laid in bed thinking about what happened last night. I was going to lose my virginity to Edward, someone who was so special to me. I was so caught up in the moment that I had begun blowing off my friends to spend time with Edward. The world was just me and Edward, but now I'm just waking up to a harsh reality.

Edward was a coward. He didn't even try to call me. I knew that if I wanted to be with him I would have to call him. I knew last night he put all his defenses back up because of what happened with Monica. But if he wasn't even going to try I wasn't either.

I pulled out my phone and texted CeCe. 

To CeCe:
I'm so sorry for everything. I think Edward and I broke up last night. Do you want to go out tonight? I've missed you.

From CeCe:
I'm so sorry Mac. Yes for sure! I've missed you too. Pick you up at 7.

I finally pulled myself out of bed and walked over to my closet. As I was picking out a dress for today I heard something hit my window. I walked out of my closet and opened my curtains. I couldn't believe it. Harry.

I quickly shut my window. I wanted nothing to do with any of the styles brother, except maybe Marcel.

Authors note: Just to move time along, winter break has happened. And everyone is headed back to start the new year.

McKenna's POV:
Winter break was probably the best time I had this last year. CeCe and I caught up on some much needed girl time. I finally stopped constantly thinking about Edward and how badly things ended. By now he was probably back with Ash. I guess we'll see today. I had heard through the grapevine that the Styles had gone to their dads over break. But I didn't care. I was finally able to move on. To have fun at parties with no regrets.

I walked downstairs and greeted Melody.

"Hi Mac!" Melody cheered.

I sat down and poured myself a bowl of cereal. I watched as Mark walked down the stairs. His hair looked particularly messy this morning. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. Just don't want to go back to school"

"Are you hung over?" I asked. He definitely looked like. Over winter break Mark had gone to a party almost every single night. I only knew because I heard him come home in the middle of the night, sometimes with random girls.

"Maybe just a little. Chill out. It's the first day back" Mark said.

When I got to school I hoped that I didn't have to see them. And by them I meant Harry and Edward. I walked into calculus and sat down in my seat. Things with Marcel still were a little rocky and I didn't know what to expect. I looked up from my seat to see Marcel. The old Marcel. The one who was my friend. The one who wore a sweater vest and suspenders. The one who was perfect just the way he was. I smiled at him not expecting anything in return. But, to my surprise Marcel came and sat down next to me.

"Hi Marcel!"

"Hey McKenna" he said. It sounded like his voice got even deeper than the last time I talked to him. "How have you been?"

"I've been hanging in there. How about your self? I'm surprised you're talking to me again."

"Yeah, well I decided new year, new me. I just want to put the past in the past, if that's okay with you."

"Of course! I've missed you so much!"

Marcel's POV:

Even though I told McKenna I wanted to forget everything that happened, a part of me didn't want to. A part of me still cared deeply for her and wanted to be with her every second of the day. I had heard from my brothers what had happened just before break started and I was sort of disappointed in them. But, lucky for me, that meant McKenna was now single. I knew that things would never go back to how they were the first weeks of school but, a boy could only hope. I really did miss McKenna and from the looks of it she missed me too.

My thoughts lingered on McKenna as class started. All throughout class I had a hard time focusing on the teacher. Whenever possible I snuck a quick peek at her. She was more radiant than ever. She looked good. It looked like she had gotten over the whole thing with my brothers. And maybe that meant she would be willing to hang out with me.

However, I had to tell McKenna something, even though I so desperately did not want to. I had to tell her to know for sure that she was over Edward. After class was the only time to do it before she found out for herself.

After class ended, I noticed McKenna lingering longer than usual. Was she waiting for me?

"Ready Marcel?" She asked.

"For what?"

"To walk me to class silly. We have a lot to catch up on" she said smiling- oh that beautiful smile.

"Wait. I have to tell you something. I know I don't know the whole story with Edward and Harry but-"

"Please don't say there names. As far as I'm concerned there is only one styles brother that I want to talk to."

I wanted to blush at her comment but that didn't change the fact that I had to tell her. "Mac. Edward wanted me to tell you this. He's not coming back to school. He's staying at our dad's for the rest of the year."

She paused in her steps. I couldn't tell what she was thinking. "Ummm, well that's lovely for him. He can just be a coward and not come and face me. I don't want to seem him ever again anyways."

I was not really expecting that comment from her.
