Within The Lights. (Series)

Chapter 11 - Back To December.

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, wishing i'd relized what I had when you were mine. And I go back to December all the time...

"He has a girlfriend, Macy!"

"He likes you!"

"But he has a girlfriend!"

"He told me he likes you! He's liked you since I've known him, Megan. Believe me."

"But-"

"No buts! He told me not to tell you, but you're only here for three more days and i want to actually do something together without you two trying to punch each other in the face!"

"We don't... I can't go down there." Megan shook her head violently.

"You're going to have to sometime. You haven't been downstairs in two days."

"You've been bringing me food. And... I sneak down during the night."

"You do what?"

"I get hungry." She shrugged.

"Oh my god..." I sighed, running a hand through my hair.

"What?"

"You're staying up late just so you can avoid him?" I asked.

"Yeah..." She admitted.

"Go to bed, Megan." I laughed, leaving the room.

"Macy?" She called after me.

"What?"

"If i promise to make things better with him... Can you make things better with Cody, Taylor and Greyson?"

"What do they have anything to do with this?" I crossed my arms.

"I can read you like a book, Macy. I know you hate not talking to them. Because I feel the same. If i make things right, will you?"

I sighed. "You'll talk to him?" The idea of talking to Cody again out of all three of them was on the bottom of the list of things i would enjoy doing, but if it meant Megan and Michael wouldn't hate each other anymore, what harm could it do?

"I'll talk to him." She nodded.

"Then i will, too."

"You want to hang out with Cody?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I thought you hated him."

"Who said that?"

"You did. Multiple times. To his face."

"Okay, i-"

"You wrote I hate you on his arm in permanant marker."

"Yeah, but-"

"Why do you suddenly want to recconect with him?"

"Jordan! I deleted his number, just text him and ask, please?"

He sighed. "Fine. I'll call you back."

"Thanks! Oh, and don't tell him I'm coming. He'll say no for sure."

"Alright, Macy."

"Thanks, Jordan!"

"No problem."

I hung up, then sat on my bed, feeling oddly pleased with myself. As I waited for Jordan to call me back, i started looking through my pictures. I came across one that made me smile, and no matter how hard i tried, i couldnt force it away.
