I didn't like the old version of this, but that darn plot bunny kept nagging me, so I'm gonna try it again.
Reviews?
DISCLAIMER: Dear Santa, for Christmas this year, I would love to own the Clique.
When your world falls down around you...
Massie runs out of a burning barn, coughing and covered in blood. Screaming. Hurting. Panicking. Accusing glares, nasty rumors. The truth hidden under the ash and debris of the building. Nowhere to turn but back to New York, bringing nothing but memories.
What else can you do but run home?
"Massie?"
"Mom?"
"I haven't seen you in over a year... where have you been?"
You can try to turn your life around.
"How about we hit the NYC club scene tonight? The cocktails are to die for," Alicia suggested, a gleam in her eyes.
"No thanks, I don't drink or party. Not anymore, anyway," Massie answered, trying to block out the stampede of mental images that stormed at her.
You can try to start over.
"I'm Massie."
"Derrick."
"Oh, you're the Harrington boy then?" Massie asked rhetorically, taking in a quick once-over of his blonde curls, mischievous brown eyes, and confident attitude.
"So you've heard of me?" He grinned, flicking a stray curl out of his eyes. Those reckless, scheming brown eyes.
But what if your past won't let you move on?
"You really think I'd just let you move on?" Dylan asked sweetly, venom laced through her voice. "Not a chance, bitch. Not after everything that happened. You can try to cover it up and start over, but I'm not about to let that happen."
And it will do anything to take you down.
"Omigod. Massie? Massie, can you hear me? No, this isn't happening. Massie, I love you! Stay with me!"
You realize who's got your back.
"You brought us together, Mass. We're not going to let you fall apart."
Who will catch you when you fall,
"It's ok. I'm here, Mass. I won't let anything hurt you."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
And who will knock you down.
"How could you?"
Starring Massie Block;
"Why won't she let me move on? That's all in the past, I just want to let go and be myself."
Derrick Harrington,
"Give me one good reason I should let you in my house," Massie snapped.
"...I'm Derrick Harrington."
Alicia Rivera,
"Get lost. In Antarctica. With the polar bears!"
Chris Plovert,
"Mass, you gotta believe me. I would never do that to you. I... I love you."
And Dylan Marvil.
"Miss me?"
Sometimes, you have to shut your eyes and pray that everything will end up ok in the end.
"She's alive. Barely, but she's hanging on."
And finally, finally, you will leave everything behind you.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Massie."
"Forever?"
"Forever and ever."
Coming soon to screens near you.
Well? Opinions please? Pairings aren't fully decided yet, but I have some ideas...
Anywho. Review! Now. You know you want to... (:
