Fly Away To Chicago (Completed)

Chapter Twenty Five- Explosions

I don't know how to deal with all this.

First it's all good and I'm eating with Mason's family then bam! All the Bennett drama, Tyler's problems, Christmas arrangements, & just being so utterly happy with Mason.

How can one person stand this? It's insane.

He drives me crazy, in a good way. He's just so passionate and caring and... loving?

No that's not right. It's only been a few weeks. He doesn't love me. He just likes me a lot.

Oh god I hope someone says something because honestly it's been a week since the whole crappy Saturday that followed into Sunday.

There were a select few great, amazing parts with Mason, but most of it was shitty.

He hasn't spoken a word to Bennett & it's horrible.

Carter talks to me in science, updates me on Bennett and things, but that's it. Lyle and Patrick sided with Mason so Bennett is alone when Carter isn't there.

I feel terrible. I came between him and his friends when I tried so hard not to be that girl again.

To top it all off Nick, Darin, and the girls are coming out here in two days. It's just a total shit storm.

I fucking hate it. I just want to be happy with Mason without all this extra crap. He's all I want and need. Just give me a break for once.

"Come on! We are gonna be late!" Mason calls and he drags me to algebra.

I pout and try to stand in the same spot. I shake my head. "No. I hate math!" I shout and I attempt to run away. He grabs me and throws me over his shoulder.

I giggle and try to get him to let me down, but he doesn't.

Oh he's so stubborn.

We get to class and he carries me in until Ms. Baxter starts shouting at him saying he'll drop me and I'll break my neck.

I love her. She's so over the top & dramatic.

"Sorry Ms. B." I apologize and I rush to my seat.

Sadly the rest of the class is already here and even though it's the last day of school Ms. Baxter is treating it like any other day.

Mason sits beside me even though it isn't his seat & Ms. B scowls, but doesn't say anything. She knows he wouldn't move anyway. He sits beside me everyday, no matter what class.

Suddenly he's at my ear. "You don't know how happy I am that I get to go to your place after school. I love hanging out with you. Everyone at my house is all insanely hyper. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but it's getting intense. So did I tell you?" He asks.

I shake my head and he sighs.

"Erin got her freaking period and Oliver freaked out. Doesn't want to share a room with her anymore. Says anything that can bled for seven days and not die can't be trusted. So Lane is bunking with me and Oliver is in his room. It's ridiculous. I have no privacy and my only escape is when I'm with you." He says and he kisses my cheek.

Oh Mason. You're so spontaneous I love that about you.

I blush and look to see that no one saw. They didn't thankfully.

Then he starts kissing me again, but this time it's on the lips and I don't realize I'm kissing him back until I hear a high-pitched screech.

"You get away from her right now Mr. Bradley! Get out! Get out of my class room, both of you! That is unacceptable! This is a place of learning! Save that for your own time, not mine!" She shouts & Mason grabs my hand, grinning.
