Massie

Seventeen-year-old Massie Block slipped on her white cardigan and headed out of her bedroom. She was off to her boyfriend's house for the rest of the evening because her mother was having a shopping trip with her friends again.

She didn't like being alone and with her mom's extra work hours and shopping sprees with her friends it seemed like she was always alone. So instead of waiting for her mom to come home for dinner she just always went to Derricks. His family welcomed her with open arms. It felt like a second home there.

"Massie, I'm heading out now." She heard her mom say from the front door. She thought she had left already.

Massie walked down the steps to the front door. "I'm just going to Derrick's again."

"Have fun," Her mom opened the door with a smile. "We will have some mother-daughter bonding time this week. We need some time to catch up."

"Okay, mom." Massie said, but she knew her mom was lying. Her mother has promised that they would spend some time together for the last ten years. It has never happened. There is always a work meeting or a shopping spree that comes up.

Massie hopped in the front seat of her and blasted the radio. She didn't like thinking about the little time she spends with her mother. There wasn't anything she could do if her mother wanted a little alone time.

When she stopped at a red light, she looked over at an empty parking lot. There was a young teenage daughter and her father learning how to drive. The father was panicking and the daughter looked like she wanted to drive faster than ten miles an hour.

Massie remembered when Derrick and his dad took her driving for the first time. Derrick's dad said that girls were either really good at driving or really bad and Massie just happened to be really bad. Derrick said that there was no way she was ever going to drive and that she was a lost cause, but his dad never gave up on her. Eight months later, she was driving like a pro and laughing in Derrick's face.

Honk!

The impatient car behind her honked his horn. The light was green and Massie waited a few more seconds to move just to make the man even more upset. It must have worked because he flipped up his middle finger when he passed her.

Massie turned down Derrick's street and into the driveway. Taking her keys out of the ignition, she saw Sammy, Derrick's younger sister, sitting on the porch. She was wearing a blue sundress and her golden blonde hair was waved. She must have her big date with Harris Fisher today.

"Who's the lucky boy?" Massie said as she walked up to the porch.

"Harris Fisher." Sammy smiled.

"I'm impressed."

"I know, we've been texting all week and know were going out to dinner." Sammy couldn't contain the excitement in her voice. She has had a crush on Harris for the longest time.

"Have fun and be careful." Massie opened the front door. "Don't get yourself pregnant."

"I'll try." Sammy joked.

As soon as Massie walked inside, she smelled the sweet smell of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven. Daniel Harrington was sitting on the couch watching TV while Stacey Harrington cooked dinner in the kitchen. They were your perfect, average, household.

"Derrick's soccer practice is running late today." Daniel said when Massie walked in the living room.

"Isn't it always." Massie playfully rolled her eyes and kept walking into the kitchen. Stacey was preparing a salad for dinner.

"I told Derrick that you were coming not to be late." Stacey shook her head. "When will he listen?"

"Probably never," Massie joked. Stacey laughed and checked the oven to make sure the chicken wasn't burning.

"Was Sammy still waiting outside?" Stacey asked.

"Yeah," Massie began chopping up carrots for the salad. "She seemed really excited."

"Daniel isn't too happy about her going out with a boy with such a reputation." Stacey referred to Harris's heartbreak reputation. He breaks every girl's heart, but they all still love him.

"He does have quite a reputation." Massie agreed.

"What's for dinner?" Derrick walked into the kitchen. He smelled like outdoors and sweat.

"Nothing for anyone who is late for the third time this week." Stacey smiled at her son.

"Sorry mom," Derrick laughed.

"Hey babe." Derrick leaned into to kiss Massie hello but she pushed him away.

"You need a shower." Massie smiled. "You smell like outside."

"I smell like a day's worth of hard work." Derrick wrapped his sweaty arm around Massie's shoulders.

"Gross." Massie flung a chopped carrot at Derrick's face.

"Derrick go shower up for dinner." Stacey laughed at the young couple.

"Alright, I'm going." Derrick said grabbing his gym bag and heading out of the kitchen.

XoXoX

After dinner, Massie and Derrick cuddled on the living room couch. Stomachs full and hands intertwined. Everything was perfect.

"Are you excited for your birthday?" Massie asked.

Derrick's eighteenth birthday was tomorrow and his parents were going away the weekend so he was having a huge party. The whole senior class was invited, including some of the younger boys on the soccer team. Although Derrick's parents thought, he was only having a small gathering. They should know him better.

"Yes, it's going to be the perfect way to end the summer and start our senior year." Derrick kissed the top of Massie's head.

"I can't believe we are already seniors." Massie smiled. "So, how long have we been dating?"

"Three years today." Derrick proudly smiled.

"Correct." Massie clapped.

The date of their anniversary didn't mean anything to them. They didn't celebrate with a fancy dinner, shares presents, or yell if Derrick forgot the day. They celebrated it with a normal day.

It seemed strange to celebrate a day that two people got together if they were not even married yet. An anniversary is for married couples that are celebrating the day that they started their lives together. It was never meant for a couple of high school teenagers that still live with their parents.

"I love you." Derrick kissed her lips.

"I love you too."

They started kissing on the couch but pulled away when they heard the front door slam. Sammy ran upstairs without a word but you could hear sniffles and tears. Derrick and Massie both looked at each other and Stacey walked in the living room.

"What happened?" Derrick finally asked. He had no idea Sammy had a date with Harris today. Sammy always made sure Derrick had no idea what went on in her dating life.

"I tried to warn her about this." Stacey sighed.

"Warn her about what?" Derrick was losing his temper.

He was very protective of his younger sister and never wanted her to date anyone. If he found out it was because of Harris Fisher then he would have been already in his car on his way to go give Harris a visit.

On Sammy's first date with Landon Crane, Derrick was a mess. He warned Landon at school that Sammy was his sister and if anything happened to her then he would pay. When Landon picked her up, Derrick was waiting on the porch and when he dropped her off, Derrick was still waiting on the porch. Sammy didn't get her goodnight kiss and started yelling at Derrick. They started fighting and Sammy ended up crying in her room. Massie went upstairs to talk to her and she said that the date was no fun because Landon was a nervous wreck the entire time. Ever since that date, all the boys were always nervous about asking out Sammy. Nobody ever wanted to piss off Derrick Harrington.

"I will go talk to her." Massie volunteered. Stacey nodded at her but Derrick wouldn't let go of her hand.

"What's going on?" He demanded to know.

Massie shook her head. "It's a girl problem."

Derrick let go of her hand as soon as she said that. He didn't like to know anything about girls and their problems. Periods, cramps, and everything grossed him out. Massie knew if she said "girl problem", then Derrick would back off.

"Just go." He ran his fingers through his hair. His face was red like he was embarrassed. Massie tried not to laugh at him.

Massie ran up the stairs into Sammy's bedroom. She found Sammy lying in her bed with her face in her pillow. She could still hear the muffled sobs in the pillow. Massie knew that this was a Harris Fisher heartbreak cry. She has heard it before from her best friend, Alicia Rivera.

"Are you okay?" Massie whispered.

Sammy looked up with mascara tracks stained on her cheeks and red eyes. "No."

"What happened on the date?" Massie sat down next to her on the bed.

Sammy tried to calm herself down with slow breaths. It sounded like she had been crying for a while. Had she cried while she was in the car with Harris?

"I'm so stupid." More tears poured over Sammy's blood shot eyes. "He didn't even show up."

Massie wrapped her arms around Sammy while she cried. Massie knew how excited she was for this date. She had called Massie right when Harris first texted her and called her again when Harris asked her out a couple days later. She has had a crush for a whole year while he dated Massie's best friend, Alicia Rivera.

Massie didn't understand why Alicia and Sammy both liked him because he always cheated on Alicia. He would lie, cheat, yell at Alicia but she loved him with all her heart. Massie told Sammy about what he was doing to Alicia but Sammy still loved him. It was one of situations that she would never understand.

"I waited outside for over three hours." Sammy laid her head on Massie's shoulder and tried to stop crying. "He didn't even call or anything."

"It's okay." Massie tried to comfort her.

"I got ditched." Sammy wiped her eyes.

"You got ditched by a total jackass." Massie said and Sammy laughed because Massie never cursed. "It's his loss as far as I see."

"Your right." Sammy smiled. "What was a crying over?"

Massie laughed and hugged Sammy. She was glad that Sammy wasn't as dramatic as Alicia. Sammy got over things much quicker than Alicia did.

It has been three months since Alicia's break-up with Harris and sometimes during their sleepovers, Alicia cries about Harris. Of course, they did date for eight whole months. She was Harris's longest girlfriend. It was an on and off relationship because of all of his cheating but eight months was the total.

Derrick knocked on the door and cleared his throat. He looked uncomfortable standing at the doorway with his hands in his pockets. His eyes were fixed on Sammy's fluffy, pink carpet.

"I just wanted to make sure that everything is okay." Derrick mumbled.

Sammy scrunched her eyebrows and looked at Massie with confusion. Massie pointed over towards the box of Tampons on her dresser. Sammy covered her mouth so she didn't laugh. She knew about Derrick's phobia and would always tease him.

"Everything is fine, Derrick." Sammy smiled. "Thanks for everything Massie."

"Don't mention it." Massie said getting up from the bed. She grabbed Derrick's hand as she walked out of the room.

Derrick sat down on the steps and motioned for Massie to join him. Massie sat down on the brown, carpeted step next to him. They sat in silence. All you could hear was the quiet singing of Taylor Swift from Sammy's room and Derrick's parents talking about the weather this weekend for their vacation.

Massie sat their thinking about what had happened to Sammy. She couldn't help but think that Harris didn't show up because he was afraid of Derrick. Many people were afraid but she couldn't picture Harris being afraid. He was an entire year older than Derrick and Harris considered himself to be a tough guy.

"You know, Derrick." Massie started but wasn't sure if she should continue. He looked over at her with his puppy dog brown eyes and waited for her to continue. "Sammy is in eleventh grade now and were seniors so I think it's time that you back off a little."

"What do you mean?" Derrick said a little harshly.

"Guys are a little intimated by you and it makes them not want to be around Sammy. There all afraid that you will kill them." Massie explained.

"I will kill them." Derrick answered.

"Well, Derrick she just wants to be a teenager and go out on dates. If you don't let her date around now then when you're gone she is going to crazy with all of the boys."

Derrick didn't say anything. He must be realizing that she was right and trying to come up with something.

He sighed, obviously coming up with nothing. "You have a point."

"Yeah I know." Massie nudged his shoulder. "But you're a great big brother."

Massie kissed Derrick's pouting lips and smiled. She knew that one of the things Derrick hated most was being wrong. Massie loved the moments when Derrick would admit that he is wrong about something. They didn't come around very often.

"Mass," Derrick laughed softly.

"What?"

"If we ever get married and have a daughter." Derrick smiled. "She is never, ever dating!"

"Only if we approve of him first." Massie giggled.

Derrick wrapped his arm around Massie's shoulders and Massie rested her head on his shoulder. There was no doubt in Massie's mind that she wasn't completely and totally in love with this guy.

"Derrick?"

"Yeah?"

"If we ever did have a daughter, what would you want to name her?" Massie asked. She always liked talking about the future with Derrick.

"Mildred." Derrick joked.

"I'm serious." Massie laughed. "I think Juliette would be pretty."

"No that's too shake sphere." Derrick shook his head in disgust. He had almost failed English last year. "I think…Julia would be perfect."

"That sounds perfect." Massie said. She began daydreaming of Derrick and her with a family. It was something she dreamed about a lot. They would have the perfect life and everything would go perfectly right.
