Mackenzie went home that night after Luke gave her the ultimatum and went straight to her room. She closed the door and locked herself in. She told herself she wasn't going to come out until she could give Luke an answer. It had now been a week and she still didn't have an answer. "Mackenzie, I have some food for you." Michael sighed from the other side of the door. Mackenzie unlocked the door and let Michael in. "It's been a week, Kenzie."
"I know, but I can't leave until I have an answer for Luke." She sat on her bed and looked at Michael.
"Just be with him. This is killing you. You know you can't live without him." Michael sat with her and set her plate on the bed. "He misses you so much, he won't talk to any of us."
"Really?" She asked, looking up at him.
"He says he can't talk to us until he knows what you want. He thinks you don't want him anymore and if you don't go tell him, then he is going to make the decision for you. Kenz, it's hurting everyone. What do you want?" Michael asked, lying down beside her.
"He's all I want, Michael." Mackenzie sighed. "I didn't even think about dating anyone else after he left me. I couldn't do it."
"You know, Luke didn't have sex with anyone after you." Michael looked at her. "He still felt that he was yours, so he never hooked up with anyone."
"You can't be serious." Mackenzie's jaw dropped. "He really waited for me to come back? I mean I didn't hook up with anyone since.. but he actually waited for me?" She asked, tears starting to form in her eyes as she finally understood him. He truly did love her.
"We tried to set him up with girls, but he always said 'she's not my Mackenzie.' So, he never even went out with anyone." Michael rubbed her back. "Look, I know you'll make the right choice." He stood up and started walking out of the room. She took a deep breath, she had her decision.
"Wait." Mackenzie called. Michael turned around to face her. "Do you know where I can find Luke now?"
"He's in his room." Michael smiled a little and walked out. Mackenzie got up and put on a pair of sweatpants over her spandex and walked out of her room. She walked down the hall to Luke's room and peeked in. He was laying on his bed with his earbuds in. She could faintly hear his music playing. This was it.
