The Styles Triplets

Chapter 24

Marcel's POV:

"Can we take a break from studying?" Margie asked putting down her pencil. I could tell she was exhausted. We had been studying for four hours, and yet it seemed like we had a million more things to cover.

I sat back snuggling into the couch and wrapped my arm around Margie. I could feel her moving around and then she looked up at me. "What?" I asked curious about what was on her mind.

"I was just thinking about how we..." she paused. "Well I don't know how to put this..."

"Put what?" I asked worried she might break up with me.

"This might sound lame, but we've been dating for a while now, and all we've done is kiss" Margie explained.

Few that was a close one. I really did like Margie but a part of me was waiting to go all the way with someone I loved. Maybe I did love Margie, but I wasn't ready yet.

"Marcel, I-"

She was cut off by the doorbell ringing rapidly. I got up and ran to the door and opened it to see McKenna, red eyes and tears streaming down her face. She ran into my arms and I could feel every bone in my body grow weak. I had never felt this way when Margie hugged me. Every part of me just wanted to comfort her and never let her go. I wanted to tell her everyone else was all wrong for her, and I was right. Wait what am I saying? I have a beautiful girlfriend who understands me and understands the constant harassment I go through daily. Though McKenna did get the football team off my back, that didn't stop others from their snide remarks.

"Marcel who is it?" Margie asked. McKenna was still wrapped in my arms and I quickly let go to see Margie sitting on the couch staring. I hope she wasn't looking to whole time.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know Margie was here. I shouldn't have come" McKenna said backing out the doorway.

"Wait" I grabbed her wrist. I wanted to pull her back to me but instead I just invited her inside.

McKenna walked in and sat down in the chair next to the couch. Immediately Margie started to comfort her, which was strange because Margie always felt threatened by McKenna.

A few hours later Margie had to leave and I was left alone with McKenna.
