My Destiny

Breakups & Makeups

Lela avoided me the next day. Whenever we ran into each other, she would run away. But finally, in mid-afternoon, I cornered her.

"Lela!" I greeted happily, grabbing hold of her arm before she ran away, "Hey, I need to talk to you about something."

"Oh, you've decided to break up with me here?" She said.

"Yea- wait, what?" I took a step back, "Who told you I was gonna break up with you?"

"Nobody. I saw you and Brady on the beach, talking about me." She stepped closer to me, "I thought you said you would never break up with me?"

"I-I don't want to, believe me. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." I admitted, "It's just that there are better people out there for you. Y'know, how about that guy, Tanner?" I suggested, "He deserves you more than I do."

"Mack, what are you saying?" Tears came to her eyes, "You think you aren't good enough for me?"

I ducked my head and nodded, "Which is why we have to break up. I'm sorry, Lae."

"You said you loved me." Lela stated, "When I saw you talking to Brady. You said you were in love with me."

My face turned scarlet red, and I said nothing.

"You can be so confusing sometimes." She said, then marched off along the beach.

"Lae!" I shouted, tears already dripping down my face. Both angry and sad at the same time, I ran to find Brady.

"So, did you do it?" He asked eagerly.

I slapped him across the face, "I didn't have to. Because she overheard us earlier and walked out on me!" I growled at him, "This is all your fault, you big, dumb idiot!"

"But now things can be back on track, right? We'll set up Lela and Tanner, then be able to go home!"

"I thought you wanted to stay here forever. Why do you suddenly sound excited to leave?"

"Well, I miss my family. And this place is seriously boring."

I crossed my arms, "Oh, please. Every time there is a musical number you jump right in! This is your favorite movie. And you know how I know that? Because that's all you talk about. Seriously, when we first met? You invited me to watch Wet Side Story on your tablet." I pointed out, "You make references to the movie every second of every day, so don't go telling me that you think this movie is boring. I don't care what you do next, but I'm going to go make it up to Lela. Even if we do have to leave this stupid movie."

"You're being stupid, Mack."

"No, you're being stupid. I hurt her feelings, and now I need to go back and fix things." And with that, I marched around the beach until I finally found her. Sitting alone and crying, at the spot where we had our first beach walk. I sat down next to her, "Hey."

"Um-" Lela wiped a tear from her eye, "Hi."

"Look, I'm sorry. I really do...y'know." I blushed, as I still didn't have the courage to say I love you to her face.

But the biker girl seemed to understand and leaned her head on my shoulder. I had succeeded in getting her back. But inside, I was worried. I loved Lela, true. But what would happen to me if I stayed here? Would I morph into the movie even more, or just disappear forever?

"So, you forgive me?" I asked quietly.

She answered with a simple peck on the cheek, and I knew I was forgiven.

Lela walked me down the beach and to her favorite hangout, where Brady had conveniently walked in front of.

My beautiful girlfriend frowned as she saw the flurry of emotions on my face.

"Mack, it's alright..." She stroked my arm, as trying to calm me from yelling at Brady. I took a deep breath and shoved by him, entering Big Momma's.

We stayed in silence for a while. I rested my head on the table, fresh, hot tears dripping down my face and onto the table.

Lela soft touched my shoulder, but I didn't look up at her. I sniffled (for like, the third time), "W-Why do you l-like me?"

"What do you mean?"

"I I-I-I'm so b-boring, what could you p-possibly see in me?" I hiccupped, still refusing to look up.

I heard her sigh, "Well, for one thing you are extremely courageous. You did save my life, after all."

"No, I didn't. The most you could've done was hit your head or break a nail."

"You're loyal, kind, and perfect."

"I'm not perfect, I'm not even close."

"You are perfect. I love you, Mackenzie. And I know you love me too, even if your not brave enough to say it."

I chuckled, "I thought you said I was courageous?"

"Well, you are. But there are things you aren't brave enough to do, which isn't all that awful."

The two went silent.

"Why do you like me?"

"Well, to start off with, you are absolutely gorgeous. Head to toe. You are super nice, and much smarter than you give yourself credit for."

"Not as smart as you."

"That's not tru-"

"Hey there, people's! Lela, you's want's to go with us for a ride?" Butchy asked, making both of us jump.

Lela shook her head, "I-I'm kind of with Mack right now..."

"No, Lela, please. Have fun with your friends, I-I'll take to you later today, alright?"

She seemed hesitant but nodded. The biker girl kissed me on the cheek before stealing Butchy's helmet and walking out the door. Butchy looked down at me, "Don't you's go thinkin' that this is gonna work." He growled, "She's my little sis. I get to decide what's right's and what's wrong's."

"No. Lela gets to decide what she wants to do in life. You may be her older brother, but she is in charge of her own life."

I shoved past him, claiming it as an accident. Brady cornered me, god, seriously? I had totally forgotten he was out here.

"How's it goin' for ya, Mack?"

"Shut up, ya idiot. What are you doing here?"

"Well, I wanted to update you on the whole storm thing. It is happening tonight, and Tanner and Lela still haven't found out about Les Camonbere's Diabolical Weather Machine!"

"Okay, okay. So, since the whole Tanner and Lela this isn't ever going to happen-"

"What?"

"-We should figure out a separate way to do this. Hey, what if me and Lela discovered the stupid machine of stupidness?"

A/U: Hey, sorry that this chapter is so short. I honestly wasn't really feeling it, but I hope you still enjoy it. Thanks for reading!
