Chapter 1
'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.'
March 14th, 2010 (Past)
"Oh my god, out of all the girls he could get, he chose her?" I heard one girl snarled harshly, pointing and staring our way, eyeing Macy's outfit.
"She's like, basically a GUY. She doesn't even care how she looks and she's always sweaty from all those sports she plays. No boobs at all." Another whispered loudly back, flipping her long blonde hair, and O smirked as I saw her roots.
"I wonder what he sees in her, like. Look at those shoes, it's like she got them from Payless or somewhere real cheap." I wondered why these girls had such huge egos. Reminds me of Joes.
We walked together hand in hand together down the streets of LA, and I brushed off the coarse and ignorant comments about me and Macy being together. We've been official for two months now, and Macy astill earned many insults and hate mails from fans. Macy couldn't help but to feel a little self-conscious and enraged about some of the comments the girls said. She looked down at her black high-top Converse shoes; and yes.. they were from Payless. She looked down at her chest, it wasn't flat, but it wasn't big either. She bowed her head down, and a blush crept up her face in embarrassment.
When I thought that Macy wasn't paying attention, I glared at the two girls who were talking behind Macy's back. They barely knew her, and for a fact, she looked beautiful. Back at school, a lot of the guys admired her from behind.
She had beautiful sun-kissed skin from the LA heat, and her hazelnut eyes always sparkled in the sun. That was my most favourite part about Macy. Her eyes are always filled with joy.
I noticed the disheartened expression on her face, and squeezed her hand reassuringly. I abruptly stopped walking, with her hand still intertwined with mine in the middle of the sidewalk and gazed longingly into her eyes, showing her with my eyes to ignore them and that she was beautiful.
"Macy, Nick! There you two are," Stella exclaimed in a relief, running towards me and Macy, interrupting the intense gaze we had on each other, "I have been looking everywhere for you guys, the ice cream shop, the beach, the - " she continued to ramble on.
"We just got here Stells, what's the big emergency?" Macy replied, looking worried for her best friend.
I also was interested in what Stella had to say, since Stella practically ran towards us in those killer red high heels. Women.
"Well, uh.. I designed these awesome new outfits for the boys.. and I didn't know Joe's –" Stella stuttered, finding an excuse, and fiddling with her designer Prada bag. She paid an extra $1000 to the shop to get it one week early before everybody else. I didn't get why she didn't just wait; again, women. I'll never understand them.
I wanted to continue on my date with Macy, and immediately told her where Joe was. Summer was coming to an end, and I wanted to spend as much time with Macy.
"Last time I saw him, he was kissing Vanessa Page and then he ran off with her to go on a date during the photo shoot with Mona earlier today." I said, rushing absently, my mind in the strange world of women. I was never really interested about his brother's love life. I always thought that Joe was into Stella, but I guess that changed. I didn't really care anyway. Joe was quite a player and 'has an ego the size of Montana' quote Stella.
Macy acknowledged Stella's pained look and jabbed me in the gut with her elbow, with a little too much force. I rubbed my stomach, where a bruise is probably going to start to form and I looked at her in ridiculously. I had no idea what I did wrong but Stella's eyes began to water and her lower lip began to tremble. Probably PMS.
"Ouch!" I shouted as Macy's elbow made contact with my stomach, but only to earn a glare from Macy. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. "I mean, uh, Joe.. he's.." I scratched the back of my head, tugging on my curls trying to think of the right words to say.
"No, no. I understand.." Stella told us unconvincingly, her voice trembling, "I have to go." She turned around and paced quickly to the path back home, the quite annoying clack clack noise of her high heels eventually fading away.
"Nick, look what you did!" Macy said firmly, scolding him for what he has done. She paced back and forth quickly, probably thinking of a plan to make Stella feel better.
"Im sorry Mace, I didn't know it would hurt Stells feelings. You know I would never do it on purpose." I defended, my lips pressed in a thin line. I really do care about Stella, I've known her my whole life and Macy should have known that I didn't mean to.
She didn't reply and just tugged me along towards the beach to the spot where I wiped out on the surfboard which seemed so long ago. Macy was kicking the sand childishly as she led us to our spot. I assumed she was upset with me for what I said earlier to Stella. We sat down and watched the sun slowly go down in silence. The sky was covered in hues of purple, blue, yellow and orange.
I never used to notice the things around me, I was usually busy with writing songs, or thinking of 'the next big thing', but ever since Macy, I noticed the small beautiful things around me.
My jealousy towards Stone Stevens had led me into doing that reckless stunt of mine to impress Macy. I remembered that, that was the day when Macy and I had our first real fight. It was also the day where I saw the real Macy. Not the crazy, super number one fan, but the outgoing, funny and bubbly Macy.
I remembered my blood pulsing when I put my hand over hers that day after we had gotten ice cream.
"Nick! Nick, look! Isn't it beautiful?" She held up the shell that she cupped in her hands, examining the smooth surface. She was so child-like, her eyes always sparkling with joy, even in the saddest of moments.
I nodded mutely, and placed I hand over hers, pretending to be fascinated in the shell Macy had found. Instead I was looking at our hands, and thought about the warmth that went through me the moment we touched. Our eyes looked from above the shell and met each other eyes. Neither of us said a word, and she pulled her hands away slowly, laughing awkwardly.
I felt my lips curved into a smile, something that I only did around Macy. Joe was the funny one, Kevin was the random one and I was always named the unemotional, serious one. It wasn't only Macy who changed; I changed too. I began to smile much more, and join in on the conversations all because of her. I was afraid that she was going to get bored of me, because of my silent personality.
I always fell too hard and too fast, once I saw the girl I thought was perfect for me it was 'love at first sight'; and in a couple of days, the whole house would be filled with sheet music about this girl I barely knew, like Penny. She had been everything I thought I had wanted.
With Macy, I never expected to fall for her; I thought she was crazy and was just another fan. I didn't fall for her the moment I saw her walk through the halls, and I didn't have pictures of her covered on his locker. She was different, and I didn't want her any other way.
Macy on the other hand, looked like she was still annoyed, by the way she crossed her arms and how her eyes were tightly shut. Sometimes I wish I knew what she was thinking, so I could set things right with her.
She turned her head towards me and saw me staring at her intently. She closed the distance between them and leaned her forehead against mine, her sweet scent engulfing me. It seemed that she thought things through, and was no longer angry with me.
My hands snaked across her waist to support her back and she tangled her hands into my soft, curly locks. I chuckled and she raised her eyebrow at me, questionably but I remained silent. Then she pulled my head closer to hers and placed her soft lips on mine.
I tasted a hint of vanilla and chocolate from the ice cream we had earlier to day, and when we parted for a breath, she whispered my name softly then connected our lips again. My hand brushed against hers and the light, carefree feeling in the air quickly spiralled into immediate intensity.
I could feel the warmth spreading from my lips all through my body, from the crown of my head to the soles of feet, and instead of satisfying me, this kiss did the exact opposite. It only made me want more leaving me craving more of her kiss and I never wanted it to end.
We broke apart gently and I saw her eyes dancing. Her hair was slightly tangled, her lips swollen but had a smile plastered to it, showing off her perfectly straight white teeth. She laid her head against my chest and listened to my heartbeat. She got herself off me and sat quietly beside me on the sandy beach, watching the sunset together as I sang softly the first song I had written for her, the only other sound was the waves crashing towards the shore.
"Cause I never even noticed, took a while for me to see, playing back the moments, and I'm starting to believe. To be, to show, know every word, but its you who makes me sing. And I know where we are, I know who I am. Baby I'm your biggest fan, oh baby I'm your biggest fan."
I ended quietly. My gaze fell to a slightly snoring Macy. I chuckled, she looked adorable when she slept. Her arms and legs were curled up against her body, and her hair was a tangled mess. I picked her body up slowly, and carried her to the nearest intersection where I told Kevin to pick us up at.
I tapped my foot impatiently against the concrete, and looked at my watch. 9:45 PM. Kevin was 30 minutes late, what was taking him so long? And as if on cue, Kevin pulled up his red convertible in front of me.
"What took you so long? You're late. I was looking around for you for the longest time with a sleeping girl in my arms, making it seem like I'm kidnapping her or something." I asked him slightly harshly, while I placed Macy in the back seat. He didn't answer, and looked nervous so I just shrugged it off and jumped in the front seat.
"Quack!" A sudden burst of sound made me jump in my seat. I was going crazy. I was probably just tired from today and my head was just imagining things.
"Quack!" There it was again, and I panicked. I looked around and saw nothing there, it couldn't be Macy; she was sleeping softly in the back.
"What the hell? Kevin what is that?" I exclaimed, taking shallow breaths. I am not going crazy. I am NOT going crazy. "QQUUUUAAAACCCCKKKK!" I let out a scream. A girl scream. How embarrassing. I looked at Macy immediately to see if she was awoken by my girlish scream. Surprisingly, she was still sleeping. Huh, must be a deep sleeper.
"Kevin," I shook his shoulders quickly, "What. Is. That?"
"I.. Uh.. On my way here, I saw that the store was selling toy ducks that quack every minute.. So I stopped by and got one?" His voice got higher on every word of that sentence. He covered his face, afraid I was going to hit him.
"What? Where is it?" I looked all around me, I didn't see any ducks around. IT WAS AN INVISIBLE DUCK! Wow, nice thought Nick. That was stupid.
"Check behind your seat." Kevin said quietly as I gave him a concerned look. "I didn't want you to take Jwoww!" Innocent face. I threw it at him anyway.
I carried Macy towards the house, and placed her gently onto her soft bed. I stroked her hair, and pushed the strands that covered her face behind her ear and turned to go back the main house. I then felt a hand, gripping onto my wrists tightly and I saw Macy smiling softly at me.
"Stay with me, please." Macy requested, her eyes on the floor, blushing at what she just asked me. I didn't reply to her question, but instead motioned for her to scoot over for me.
I placed the covers over the both of us, and wrapped my arms protectively over her as she laid her head on the crook of my neck.
"I love you."
What we didn't know is that it was the last time we were going to say those three words to each other.
