Just a simple Card Game
You're sitting in the living room you haven't set a foot in for ages, with your eyes set on the chair that you always considered your own, you remember how he wrote a little MC on the inside and you pray that it's still there —the letters used to shine so bright—but you're not sure; after all, you haven't been here since last christmas and she had taken over what was supposed to be your place.
So for the first time in all the years you have known his family, his house, you look lost. As you see her smirk in your direction you force a smile, because youwouldn't start a fight, not when it was the thing she wanted you to do, instead you turn around and sit down next to his brother. Right now you feel closer to his big brother after all and as your eyes drift around the room you noticed that the warm welcoming feeling of home was gone. You blink, you never expected to ever feel out of place in the house you used to love so much but as soon as your eyes fall upon the wall, you feel tears filling up your eyes. The old goofy Family pictures that always made you laugh where gone instead there were new pictures of Guys you almost didn't recognize.
They smile up at you but you never feel any happinies instead you frown. Everything changes eventually, you remind yourself and turn back to the table where you find all eyes on you. You stuff your hands in your pockets as you look around nervously and once again force a smile which you never had to do in the company of the his Family before. But they believe you, they always do or at least they never say they don't.
For the first time since you arrived you actually look in the faces of the people around you – of course there where Mason, Marc and his perents but as you turn to your left you also stare in the face of a girl you know as Marcs Girlfriend. You see her eyes sparkle and she seems to be excited to finally meet you. This Girl is nice, you think and you give her a big smile the first one this night but as soon as you look across from you your smile fades away.
You remember why you were so down just a few minutes ago. She was there sitting in your chair laughing with your best friend and you suddenly want to leave but you know you wouldn't be able to handle their dissapointed expressions. They were so happy you came after all this time so how could you leave? She's this pretty little brunette thing and you think she is not good enough for him—but you have to pretend to like her for him. In fact, he thinks you guys are good friends and that the reason why you never came over after he got together with her is because you are so busy. That isn't true-of course- you are a Superstar and you have a busy sheudle but you always had time for him.
You didn't notice that you were no longer facing anyone but instead you stare at your hands that start to feel uncomftable in your pocket. You must have sat there for a long time because the moment you look back up you see the Cards, drinks and the food already set up. A hand touches your shoulder placing a bag of M&M's next to you and you grin. It's not possible to love M&M's as much as his family does and they treat the candy like a trophy that it's quite Oscar-worthy, you always thought. Than again you remember him telling you they all have MM Initials because everyone of his family loves M&M's and you have to hold back a laugh at that memory but his mom seems to sence your sudden mode change and she flashes you a smile so big that you have to remind yourself that you are not in Hollywood right now.
You slowly pick up the cards that someone had layed on the table for you and glance down at them. This was your game, Mau Mau had always been your game. You grin as you see what cards you got : 7 (would result in the next player having to draw two cards, 8 (lets the player take another turn), 9 (which reverses the direction of game play), King of hearts (nothing happens) and a Jeck ( needed for Mau Mau other wise it's just Mau and you can wish what color you want to be played).
Soon you hear the laugh you dislike so much because you know he was the one who made her laugh You're tired of her and him but you couldn't run away from reality or close your eyes falling into a dream you actually don't want to wake up from because as you see him kiss her you know nothing could be a bigger nightmare. You smik as you see the disgusted face of Mason and you lean your head on his shoulder...you know that he understands you because you had accididently let it slip that you were madly in Love with his brother while being on tour with him and your own brother.
You start to look back on your life and get the message that maybe the cards in her hands were almost like the once you had in real life. There was Nick -of course-your first love and probably your most famous you thought he was perfect and in your eyes he still is because you had a great time with him but he let you free and gave you the chance to give love another try, almost like an 8 in this game, because you have the power to play another one after.
There was Justin – good looking and a great guy but it wasn't anything special. If you had to compare him to one of your cards it would be the king of heart. In any other game this would be the second best card you could get, but in Mau Mau it doesn't really have a special meaning. Then there was the Nine which puts the game in another directon and this card in your life was for sure her the Girl your Best friend is so in love with. She made your perfect life Hell, it turned from happy to missarable but you couldn't really blame her for seeing how perfect he is before you did.
This was all your fault. Then there was Liam, he was great but most of all did he make him angry and you loved that. He didn't want you to get another Boyfriend but you did it anyway just so he can see how hurt you are.
The seven in this game was just that- would you like to draw two extra cards when you have to play all your cards out to win?
Of course there was the Jeck, the best card in the game. You need this card for Mau Mau and you could decide which color the next person had to play. It's just like make a wish and win. So You have known the Jeck in your life since you turned 12 and you know for a fact that without him all the other people in your life wouldn't really matter. Sure they would excist but they would never have the same effect. Jeck is a stupid name, you always tought.
Mitchel sounded way better to you. You snap out of it, your head still on Masons shoulder and you noticed that your eyes were closed and Mason smiles at you. The minute you sit back up on your chair you think you noticed how his head turned away quickly and just maybe he was actually watching you. It was your turn to play a card and you know this is your game, with this cards you could only win. It's just sad that in real life you already lost your Jeck. Playing your last Card you scream "Mau Mau" and you see him smile at you for the first time this night and you find yourself smiling back but when you see him turn to her again you frown. Your hands reach out for the M & M pack, and you realize how bitter-sweet they taste. You turn the package around and read the expiration date:
9th June 2009.
