Mac stood infront of me , her hands knitted together as her eyes went from my face to the floor. " When did it happen ?" I asked.

She took a deep breath , as if doing that was a way to go back in time , to relive the moment. " I hated how she was treating you guys. I hated her mean girl personality. She broken up yours & Rebecca's friendship. She'd tried to ruin all of you & for what ? I wanted to know. Possibly I was her next target."

" She'd open the door , her hair was mess , her eyes puffy , I could tell she'd been crying , she asked " what do you want" trying to get venom out in her words , but she just broke & I held her. She told me she loved me. She wanted me. But I chose you."

" The truth is I chose you. As my bestfriend. But that's because I chose her as something else. Not just a friend. I explained that."

" I looked in at the broken vase & flowers inside her house - the whole place was a mess. I made sure she was fine - she's gotten a cut. But I fixed it. Her mom's been doing drugs since her dad left - the law firm is going under a big lawsuit , perhaps for a negligence. I know you can't easily forgive her , but her life's a mess. She's not a mean girl , she is to some extent. But she's not the worst." she rambled more & I pulled her into a hug.

" You have my blessing Mac. I love you."

Thanksgiving was in a few & we decided to go the grocery. Since our family would be mixed this year. So we had to get twice the grocery.
Natalie came along , my heart softened when I saw the bandage around her hand & the slight bruises on her neck.

I realized how Mac did her nails. Two short & the rest stiletto shaped. I see you bitch. Get it.

Zach I asked me with cheese I wanted , bringing me out of my trance.

" Mozzarella & cheddar." I pointed to the sauce on the top shelf. " & that." he nodded , grabbing it.

Our day was lovely. Joshua took Becca to meet her dad - the three of the were going to a dinner. She was real happy. We hardly saw her around. After putting the lasagna in the oven. I set the timer & went into the living room - to chill with Nat , Mac & Zachy. I told Mac to watch the oven , as we headed upstairs , to take a nap or whatever. I jumped on his back & carried me upstairs.

" Can you stay over tonight ?" he asked , playing with my fingers , that were much smaller than his.

" Is that what you want ?"

" Yeah , please." I nodded.

Getting up to pack a small bag. His brother was having a sleepover at his friends. Meaning his mom was the only one home. I enjoyed his brother's, Zane's presence. He was a beautiful soul & his & his brother's relationship was pure.

~*~

I opened the door. The sight in front of me had me shook , my bags fell to the ground. I looked around to see Zach His jaw clenched , the eyes darkened. Pain , betrayal & sadness evident. I was frozen in place - I wanted to hold him. He squeezed my hand , that was entwined in his. It hurt - I said nothing. He stormed , taking the first swing at the man who was screwing his mother. Then we left.
Her trying to find the right words to apologize to her son. Explain everything. She couldn't. He didn't wait on her to.
