Chapter 8

Mack's P.O.V.

I have been living with Zaine's family for about 6 and a half months. Its been awesome. Family never really meant anything to me unless I was at Zaine's house or Kyle and Kasy's house which was a lot because I was not staying in my personal hell when I didn't have to.

Today is Zaine's fifteenth birthday and my fourteenth. Kyle said him and Kasy are taking me somewhere special to celebrate. Kyle picked me up on Thursday because they're leaving Friday morning. I'm still slightly mad at Kyle but I'm glad I still get to see him because he's my last link to Alex except for Anna but I only see her once every month.

Saturday is here. I'm fourteen. Thirteen years without Alex. I cry a little at the thought. I go to the kitchen to see Kyle cooking my favourite. Pancakes. Yum. I go give him a hug and he gives me kiss on top of my head. I give Kasy a side-hug because she's five months pregnant and HUGE!

After an amazing breakfast and lunch cooked by Kyle I get blindfolded and put in the car. I keep asking them where we're going until they put Luke Bryan on and I shut up instantly. The car stops after and I'm un-blindfolded to see that we're at Madison Square Garden. I turn and look at both of them. "This is where Luke Bryan is playing tonight," I say slowly, excitement in my voice. "Yes," Kasy responds just as slowly. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY," Kyle shouts. "No way. This is the best bithday EVER," "Well you deserve it hun," "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU," I scream. We head in and start walking to our seats which are like so far away but I don't care when some guy, who I recognize as QED, hands us Pit Passes. "We had extra's and we didn't want them to go to waste. Take 'em. Best seats in the house," he says before giving them to us and walking away. It was awesome and Luke pointed at me and sang to me. He also pulled me up on stage when he was singing "Someone Else Calling You Baby." He gave me his E3 hat as a birthday present. "How did you know?" I ask kinda yelling in his year. He points to Kyle who's holding a sign with an arrow pointing to me that says "Birthday Girl"

After a great birthday I go back to Zaine's on Sunday. I swear I retold them every single detail of the concert down to the colour of the socks I was wearing. Then Zaine told me about his weekend. We both had equally awesome weekends and birthdays.

Later, when me and Zaine are chilling on the couch he tells me he heard me singing the other day. He then proceeds to say that our music teacher, Mr.Yerks, is willing to help us get better so we can go on the Voice. "I know you're good at singing AND you can play guitar but I can't sing plus I'll never make it as a singer 'cuz I suck." "You're only saying that because David drilled it into your head saying it was racket but ask anyone who's been lucky enough to hear you, you're awesome, so what do you say?" "I say..."
