Mackenzie fell asleep in Luke's arms that night, for the first time in a long time. She felt safe, which wasn't common with the threat of Romeo always looming over her head. She slept through the night with no nightmares or bad dreams for the next week after they were officially back together. Only dreams of the future. She dreamt of moving away with Luke, starting a new life. She dreamt of starting a family with him and moving away from New York. Everything was perfect. Her dream was ruined when she awoke to the chime of her phone. She carefully leaned over the side of Luke's bed and pulled her sweatpants over to her. She pulled out her phone and looked at the text message she had just received. Her heart sank.
Look I know you probably don't want to talk to me, if it was me I wouldn't either but I'd really like to explain things. please Kenz, please can you just hear me out -S
Mackenzie sighed, reading the message again. Was Sarah really interested in making things right? Or was this a part of Romeo's plan? If she was part of his plan though would he have really knocked her out with gas at the club? She must be genuine about it She sighed and typed out a reply. She looked at the time on her phone, it was 3 o'clock.
Meet me at club @ 5 and we'll talk. -M
Mackenzie wasn't sure if she was making the right decision. What if it was another trap? Should she tell Luke where she's going? "Baby, what are you doing?" Luke asked sleepily, looking at her body hanging off the bed.
"Sarah texted me. She wants to 'explain' things." Mackenzie sighed, bringing her body back up into the bed. "I told her to meet me at the club."
"I'm coming with you." Luke looked at her. "I'm not letting you see her without me there to protect you. "Not after what she did to you."
"No, Luke. You don't have to come with me, I'll go alone, okay. I don't know why she did it but I know that she would never hurt me on purpose." She reasoned, kissing his cheek. "She was my best friend," she said as she crawled out of bed, walking over to the shower connected to Luke's room.
"Mackenzie, this could be a trap. There's no way in hell I'm letting you go by yourself." Luke got up and pulled on a clean pair of boxers and a t-shirt.
"Luke, we've been back together for a week now and everyday since then you've had me training with you, besides I won't leave the club and I'll call you after we've talked." Mackenzie looked at him from her spot by the door. "I can handle this. And, besides, Feldy and Mitchy are at the club already right?. I'll call them over if I need them. I don't know how Sarah got involved with this but I was her best friend. I deserve to at least know why she did this."
"Promise me you'll call them?" Luke said sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I promise, Luke." She kissed his forehead. "You'll be the first to know if something goes wrong." She said looking him in the eyes. He nodded and laid back down on the bed.
"You know you're going to be the death of me," he said, staring at her body which was only covered by his tanktop, as she walked into the shower. She smirked and threw her head over her shoulder and winked at him. He chuckled once more as she disappeared into the washroom, only to pop her head back out the doorway, holding out his shirt for him to see.
"You know," she smirked, "you could join me. I get a little lonely by myself," she winked.
"I'd be honoured, baby girl," Luke smirked back, stripping out of his clothing as he made his way to the bathroom. "Let's get you cleaned up, you dirty girl." He winked as he reached her, smacking her butt quickly.

"Take a gun with you." Luke said, as he walked into the bathroom where Mackenzie was just fixing her hair.
