Only One I Want

Chapter One

"Stop fussing. I have to buckle you up, Mom said." I told my little brother, Conner.

Conner kept crying for our mom. I took a deep sigh, finally buckling him safe. I gave him his favorite stuff tiger and his green blanket. My mom was rushing out the front door, with her hands full. I rushed over to help her, taking bags from her hands. I opened the the back seat door and put the bags by Conner's feet.

I climbed in the front seat by mom.

"Daddy." Conner said.

Mom took a deep sigh. I could see the pain in her eyes. She misses him, so do I. She tightly gripped the steering wheel.

"Daddy isn't here, baby." My mom told him looking at him through the front mirror.

Our dad passed away a year after Conner was born. He is now three. Mom and Dad were truly in love, especially my mom. Dad made her feel special like no one else did. She loved him with all her heart, and so did dad. A year earlier, before his death, we found out he had a bad case of heart cancer. There was no way he was going to get better from it, it was to late.

I put my hand on my mom's leg reassuring her it was alright and that we both miss him. Mom has been very strong after his death. She did cry a lot, but stopped and understand that how many times she would pray for him to come back, he won't.

Mom pulled into my school's drop off. After she leaves me at school she is taking Conner to daycare, since no one is able to stay with him at home, and we don't have any money for a babysitter so this is all we can do.

"Have a good day at school, Molly Moo." She smiled at me.

I laughed at my nickname.

"Thanks."

I grabbed my bag and got out of the car.

Addie, my best friend, greeted me by the entrance.

"Hey." I said.

She wore the same hair style like always. Her curly, Brown hair in a ponytail.

I opened my locker to grabbed everything I needed for first period, with Addie talking to me about something about something stupid her ex-boyfriend, Thomas.

"Wow he is such a jerk." Addie finished.

I nodded and replied, even though I didn't hear anything.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to come to a Magcon meet and greet with me." Addie asked, her green eyes shining from he light.

Magcon? Oh crap. I remember hearing about them from Addie talking about them, but I have no clue about them.

"Um Magcon?"

"Oh my Gosh, Molly! How many times do I have to explain what Magcon is to you? Magcon is where 9 amazing cute boys go on tours and just do stupid things, but they are funny and you can talk to them afterwards. It's amazing, and they are doing a meet and greet here in Chicago! Can't you believe it?" Addie practically screamed.

"Yeah, I will go." I told her.

She hugged me tightly, thanking me. Even if I don't like them I will still go to make Addie happy. The first bell rang,meaning we only have five minutes until class starts. Addie and I went our separate ways, waving goodbye.

I sat down at the table I usually sit at, by my two other friends, Rachel and Claire. Rachel and Claire aren't as close as Addie and I, but still I love these two, to death. I saw Claire glancing at Josh. The boy who she has liked since 7th grade. We all are seniors. Josh and Claire have gone to every dance together, but Claire just nervous that their relationship will end at the end of the school year, once they go off to college.

Josh is one of the best baseball players on our team, and could get any girl he wants, but he hasn't had a girlfriend since two years ago.

Claire doesn't her relationship to end like Addie and Thomas. Addie found out by some girls at school that Thomas was sleeping with other girls, while dating Addie.

I ate peanut butter and crackers for lunch. I'm not hungry.

"Hey girls!" Addie said, joining our table. "Sorry it took me so long. They ran out of potatoes, so we all had to wait. What did I miss?"

"Only that Claire is making a big puddle of slobber over Mr. Loverboy." Rachel laughed.

We all laughed at Claire. Claire's face started getting red.

"You guy's are being to loud, he will hear you." She said.

"Like he doesn't know already."

Clarie just started eating her hamburger, ignoring that we are right. Josh starrted walking over by our table. Clarie quickly wipped her hands and faced with a napkin. Josh smiled at her, her eyes sparkled at him. Josh walked past us the the garbage cans by the table near us.

"He smells good." Clarie states.

We all laughed at her. She says the most stupidest things when she is dazed by him.

I would like to be crazy in love like Claire,but I'm to scared to get my heart broken by some jerk.

Love is a powerful thing. It can make you the happiest person in the world, but then others not.

"Molls, I'll pick you up at 1 Saturday for Magcon." Addie told me picking up her tray and leaving.

I got looks from Rachel and Claire.

"Magcon? I thought you didn't like them." Rachel asked.

Claire was with her in agreement.

"I just wanted to make her happy." I said leaving.
