Macaría puts her book away and gets a text from callie, they've been friends since seventh grade. callie, alix, and macaría have all been best friends since then. they've always been there for each other. Alix and Callie are even moving in with Macaría.

Callie< Hey choncha

Macaría> Hey puta

Callie< What time should i meet you over there ?

Macaría< well im putting my dresser and nightstand in the bed of the truck and my clothes in the back so I wanna say in like an hour, and have your shit ready. I don't want to be driving to and from town

Callie< alright emo see you then

Macaría< later skank:p

after macaría puts her phone down she packs up the last of her stuff in her suit cases and boxes and carries them to the truck.

she goes in the house and her little sister runs to her leg

mac: hey cricket

Carrie: bababa

mac: can you say "mac"

Carrie: nac

mac: haha close enough little girl. you hungry ?

Carrie: YA

Mac: okay then crazy, let's get you some food

Macaría makes cereal for her sister and herself. when Carrie is done eating, Mac tells her sister to go get dressed so she can take her to her ami's house for the day. while Carrie is getting ready Macaría starts loading the rest of her stuff in the bed of her truck and her clothes in the back.

when Carrie comes waddling outside dressed and has her shoes on Mac notices that her shoes are on the wrong foot.

Mac: Cricket come, let me fix your shoes

Carrie: AH
(that's how she says okay)

with Carries shoes fixed they are off to Carries grandma's house for the day. Mac drops her off and hits the road too her soon to be new and improved home.

while listening to The one that got away she gets a call from Adem

Adem: hello my world

Mac: hello my moon and stars

adem: are you on your way to the house

mac: yeah are you gonna come and help us ?

adem: of course, i'll be there soon

mac: okay, i'll see you then !

she hangs up the phone and starts listening to "all the small things" from blink-182.

when she pulls into the long road up to her new home she can see her best friends bringing in their stuff to the house, her step dad working on the rain carrier, and her mom bringing in grocery bags. she hears a honk behind her and it's adem already there.

when she hops out of the car she greets everyone with a hug and her boyfriend with a small kiss.

lacee: did you give Alba Carrie's bag ?

Mac: yes

Macaría kisses her moms big pregnant belly and pokes her baby brother

lacee: he's probably telling you to stop

mac: haha yeah probably i know cricket hated it

mac walks into her new house and takes all the plastic covers off the furniture and plugs in air purifiers in every room so that they don't all get allergies from all the crap floating around in the house.

they take out all the old run down furniture and replace it with new furniture. they got rid of the old moldy dishes and replaced them with polished replicas.

lacee: well well, everything looks amazing

macaría looks at her heaving, very pregnant mom

mac: sit down mom i'll get you some water

lacee: okay *pant* thank you *pant*

* 3 hours later*

macaría's parents and friends have left the cottage and now it's just adem and macaría, alone, again. as she is washing dishes he comes behind her and wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her neck very lightly

~it feels like we've been married for years, like this is just a normal thing we do at this point~

when she is done washing the dishes she turns around and flicks water in his face. he starts laughing and tries to throw water at her but she manages to duck as he throws the water. he chases her  around the house a bit. she leads him into her room and he catches her and throws her over his shoulder.

she softly hits his shoulder and kicks her legs in the air laughing telling him to put her down. he does as she says but instead of gently standing her up on the floor he plops her onto the bed and she starts to catch her breath

mac: so not cool

adem: so definitely cool
