Disclaimer: Naww it's not mine sadly...
So this is how the story goes, this is how the song plays out, this is how these piece of crap words form together to make up my sad, pathetic life story. Aha, emo much? Well you could say her life wasn't always crap, there was this luminous time in her life, a short period mind you, when she was sublimely happy. When those amber eyes danced around, when the wondrous hair swung in the wind, when her over grown side bangs would sweep in front of her eyes and she could care less to move them out of her eyes. That was a time when Massie Block had a mom, a real mom, not some vegetable who was slowly deterioating in the local hospital, not someone who's minutes on this earth were being counted as it was. Oh yeah, those were the days, the good old days, they were better than good, there wasn't a word that could even describe them.
But theres no time to sit and whine, to lament over the past. Things were different and thats how it was going to be, going to stay. "MASSIE!" Madeline had cried, her dads, well they insisted they were just "friends" but Massie wasn't an idiot she knew, her dads girlfriend. How was that even okay? Her mom was still alive, maybe it didn't seem like it, but she was. How could he? "Yes Madeline" Massie's voice was strained.
"Oh dear could you get the door my nails are still wet." Madeline's voice was sugary sweet, but not that sugary splenda based sweetness, but a bitter one a venom filled one that if sipped could kill.
"Yeah, sure, whatever." Massie replied in a monotonous voice. Ha! As if, did Madeline really expect Massie to listen to her? If so that poor girl was more clueless than she thought. Massie just lay there listening to Taking Back Sunday blaring though her headphones replaying all the happy times she had in her miserable 14 year old life. Left there to be content, wallowing in self pity not something she enjoyed to be much she actually hated people who did that. But her wallowing was rudely disrupted by oh none other than daddy, splendid. Massie paused her iPod, oh she wanted to hear this.
"Hey kiddo, mind you and me have a chat?" William asked, as if no was an option.
"No, I dont think so, yes its a no we may not." Massie replied.
"Well to bad, were going to talk." hey it was a worth a shot, no?
"Ugh fine William, whatever would you want to talk about?" oh that was easy: Madeline.
"Well sport, Madeline." Oh no really you don't say!?
"Oh her." Massie's voice was lined with supreme bitterness.
"Massie I dont appreciate you talking about her in that tone, she's a good friend."
"Oh it seems that you and her are keen to be more than just friends."
"Now what do you mean by that Massie" What did she mean? Oh he knew exactly what she meant.
"What do I mean, what do I mean!? She spends more time here than I do, shes a complete mooch. Does she even go home? She practically lives here! Stays in the guest room? Stays in the guest my ass! I hear her sneak into your room at like midnight I'm not a complete idiot William! The way the both of you look at each other, have you forgotten about mom or what is she to you know nothing William?"
"Massie. That. is. Just. Ridiculous. Why would you stay things like that I love your mother. There is nothing going on between me and Madeline, I think your imagination has gone a little to far this time."
"My imagination? My imagination? Its not just me, everyone can see it, and I know what your going to ask no I am not goiing to be any nicer to her shes your "friend" William not mine."
"Disregarding what everyone else thinks the fact is that me and Madeline know that there is nothing going on between the both of us. And why hun shes a great person" Oh bullshit, he was so full of shit.
"And how exactly is she a great person William?"
"Well first off she a great cook, shes hysterical, shes sweet, and shes extraordinary," Ha and she was supposed to believe there was nothing going on between them? All those words were Massie's downright verification. Plus they were all lies, blasphemous lies.
"Really everything shes ever cooked made me wanna puke, shes never made me laugh, as sweet as hmm tar? Yeah as sweet as tar. William why can't you just accept that I dont like her, me and Madeline dont mesh, even she accepts it why won't you?"
"There's really no convincing you now is there Miss Massie?"
"None at all. We've talked about this countless times William I thought you would've gotten the point by know."
"I know, I know, I was just hoping your opinion on her would've changed seeing as you've had more time to be around her gotten to know her a little better."
"Honestly William the more I've gotten to know her, the more I resent her. And why do you want my acceptance so much a repeat she is your friend."
"Yes , but how would you feel if I didn't accept Josh, your best friend."
"To be frank William I don't think I would care maybe Josh would."
"There's really nothing I can say to change your ever stubborn mind, just let her open around you, you intimidate her you know. I know you'll love her."
"I really doubt it William."
"Fine then I guess I'll leave you alone."
"Alright bye William."
"And would it kill you to call me dad, I swear I haven't heard you call me that since you were a tot."
"Not now William."
"Fine if thats the way it is Massie."
Did he really expect to get anything more from her than he had before? It was the nearly impossible to change Massie's mind of all people. It wasn't a task, burden was more the word for it. Why couldn't she live the fairytale life all her peers at Octavian High seemed to have? Everything they did seemed so effortless but then again not many of them even thought for themselves it was kind of pathetic. But she had no fairy godmother. She had no price charming. She had no story worthy of a fairytale. If she could only have one of those three she would be more than content, if she had at the least a prince charming...
Wheeee chapter one! Reviews would be nice, any voice your opinion peoples XD
