Im Only Human

Chances

Mac's POV

"Will you please just give me a chance?" he says. "Give us a chance."

I honestly don't know what to say. I barely know him. I can't say yes if I barely know him. You barely knew Jackson. My subconscious reminds me.

It does have a point.

"Did you ever think that maybe someone new is what you need? Maybe once you date someone else that actually cares about you and that's someone you can trust, you will see that not everyone will hurt you." He runs his hands through his hair. "I will not hurt you."

"Yes."

He gives me a confused look. "What?"

"Yes. I'm willing to give us a chance."

His face lights up with the biggest smile ever. He picks me up into his arms and swings me in a circle. Then he kisses me on the forehead. He looks so happy.

"Just as friends. I barely know you and I don't want to rush into anything."

He nods and I'm in his arms again. I smile and hug him back. He laughs.

I look up at him. "What?"

"We're missing school. It's Monday."

"Fuck." I look at the time. 11:35 am. I shrug my shoulders,"Oh well."

He laughs again. "What do you want to do?"

"I don't know. We could hang out here if you want. Beth's at work." I lay down on the bed.

He raises an eyebrow. "Oh is she now?"

He jumps onto the bed and smirks at me. Before I can stop him he's on me. He holding my wrists above my head and he's looking down at me. "What am I going do with you?" he says with a smile.

"You could get off me." I say. He starts tickling me. I giggle a little.

"You're not ticklish?"

"Not there." He looks at me. "I won't tell you unless you let me go."

Reluctantly, he gets off me and sits beside me.

"My knees."

"Your knees?"

I nod. "I'm ticklish in my knees. I don't really why I-"

He grabs them both and squeezes. I squeal and start laughing.

"Stop!" I scream. I hit him with a pillow and run off the bed to the corner of my room.

"So we're gonna move from tickle fights to pillow fights?"

I nod. "Bring it."

He grabs the other pillow on the bed. He walks over to me slowly. I start to run over back to the bed but on my way there he tackles me to the ground. I hit him twice before he takes the pillow from my hand.

"No fair! You cheated!" I pout.

"I didn't cheat." he said with a small laugh. "I was just smarter than you. It was too easy."

I stick my tongue out at him and slap him on the arm. "This is the second time you've been on top of me. What's up with that?"

He smirks at me. "I just can't resist you." He kisses me on the nose. I giggle.

"I don't know. You're pretty irresistible yourself."

He raises an eyebrow. "Oh really?"

I nod. I'm flirting and I know it. It can't hurt. I mean I like him and maybe I could possibly learn to love again. I trust him and he deserves a chance.

He kisses my forehead. Then my lips. It feels just like it did in my dream. The sensation overwhelms me and I find myself getting lost in the feeling of his lips against mine.

Then I wake up.

I sit up in bed and look around. Niall lies next to me. I was dreaming the entire time. None of it was real.

I lay back down wishing it was.
