This story is the aftermath of The Teen Beach Movie. Pairings are: Mack/Tanner and Lela/Brady 3
Its already been one summer since Brady and I came back from Wet Side Story Movie and until now i still couldn't believe that all of that ever happened. Sometimes i feel like it wasn't real like it was just a crazy dream that I had.
"An awesome dream." I mentally added.
But of course all of it was real and I have Brady to prove it since well he was with me when it all happened. That experience led me to fight for what i love and what i wanted to do. To do things my way and My choice. It was hard at first but eventually I finally accepted that my mom and I are two different people, i just couldn't live out her dream when Ive got different dreams and goals for my own. I know i will make her proud of me one day just not the way that everyone expects me to. I was grateful that Aunt Antoinette understood and had let me stay. She's like a second mom to me.. Only scarier and well.. Not really mother like. but she looks out for me and i couldn't ask for more.
After that incident, Brady and I eventually got back together and we couldn't have been happier. Or so we thought.
We were together again for only a month when we decided to just end things cuz well.. Things were just different...
It was already a week when school had started and Brady and I still managed to catch some waves with our surfboards after school. After surfing, we changed into our dry clothes and decided to head out to the beach for a walk.
We were just walking alongside of the beach for already 10 minutes when I noticed Brady was way quiet which was odd because he's never quiet. He's only quiet when he's either sleeping or extremely hungry yet he cant still manage to talk with his mouth full which i always tell him to never do but does he listen to me? NOOOOOOO. Anyways back to the real issue, Brady was just never quiet. I took a glance at him, and saw that he was just looking at the sunset. he's gaze seem so far away. Like he was in deep thought. I grabbed his hand and stopped walking which caused him to stop walking too and gave me a confused look.
"Is everything okay?" I asked him worriedly. He tore his gaze away from me and just looked at his feet buried in sand,
"Yeah. Why do you ask that?" He answered, with his gaze still on his feet. One thing you should know about Brady, he is a terrible liar. Ive known him long enough to know if hes lying or not. He wouldnt look at a person's eye when hes hiding something or lying.
Scoffing at his obvious lie, I made him face me and I lifted his chin so he would look at me. Soon enough, we were looking eye to eye. I looked into his dark brown eyes that i fell inlove with. Expecting to feel that spark that i get whenever i looked into them but i felt... Nothing.
"You're lying." I bluntly said. He removed my hand from his chin and just looked away from me. I just stared at him as he looked into the sun set. Something was wrong with Brady, i can just feel it.
"Whats wrong Brady?" I saw him look at me with a look of regret which made me worried and confused as ever,
He stepped towards me, and grabbed both of my hands tightly, i can nearly feel my hands getting numb but i didnt care. He lifted bith of my hands and gave it a kiss.
He looked at me with sad eyes, " i'm so sorry Mack."
Okay confused seem to be an understatement of the year. "What? What for?" I took one of hands from his grasp and placed it on his right cheek. i saw him closed his eyes and leaned his face against my cheek.
He took my hand and held both of my hands again and looked into my eyes "This isn't working out any longer."
I felt my heart sank really slowly as I slowly breathe in his words. Was he... Breaking up with me?
I took my hands away from his grasp and stepped away from him. With tears forming in my eyes, i saw him with a pained expression.
"Are you..." I gulped."... Breaking up with me?"
"Let me explain." He stepped towards me but I took a step back. i saw him cringe.
"Mack, the times when we were together was great and amazing." He said with a sad smile.
"I was so sure that you're the only girl for me and that i wouldnt like anyone else because you and i were meant to be." He slowly took my hands and this time i didnt push him away. i just felt too weak to do that.
"But Ever since that last summer we had, with your auntie telling you to go away to a private school" he swallowed. " and that time we had in Wet side story."
I mentally shivered. Wet side story. Until now it seem so surreal. Since we got back, we vowed to never talk about it again until now.
"...everything starts to change. " his eyes already forming tears.
"What do you mean?" I managed to ask without crying.
" Even i don't know. When we got back, I started to feel so confused. My feelings for you started..change."
I can feel my heart slowly starting to break as he said those words. If he hadn't been holding my hand, i wouldve broke down and cry on the spot.
But my silence urged him to go on, "When we got back together, i was so happy at first but not as happy as i thought i would be. We were just not.. The same anymore.."
"I know you felt it too Mack." He said and i was slightly taken back with what he said.
"Don't deny it Mack. You think I don't notice the way you kiss me is not as passionate as before and that you always used to linger on my lips before pulling away? You think i don't notice how we would fall into an awkward silence and just not talk anymore on the phone like we used to?"
It was like my very deep thoughts were spoken by Brady himself. the truth is, i noticed the change between us. Before i would always linger on lips before pulling away but now it just felt like a hobby and a duty as a girlfriend. We would always have so many things to talk about but now it just felt so dull. I couldnt even belive that id rather sleep than to talk to him late nights on the phone just like before. I was indenial at first cuz i thought that we were just facing some rough edges on our relationship but now Brady has mentioned it. It does felt like it was over.
However the pain didn't subside because the truth is i have loved Brady but i jst wasn't Inlove with him anymore. And the idea of losing him was unbearable. suddenly, i felt so alone.
" i love you Mackenzie." I almost forgot that Brady was still there.
He stepped towards me and placed my hand on his heart , " and I know in my heart that I will always love you and that you'll always have a special place there." Oddly enough, i believe him but i know its only the sisterly love that he felt for me
He gave me a sad smile, "We were so comfortable with each other and that it has always been us that we just lost the spark in a relationship and that we entered-"
"The comfort zone." I finished for him. He slowly nodded his eyes starts to tear up
"Im so sorry Mack...but this has to be done. I don't want to end up hurting each other at the end. " his cheeks already flooding with tears.
With that, i felt a tear run on my cheek. i raised my hand to wipe away his tears.
"T-thank you..." I can hear my voice crack. "for being honest with me."
He looked at me and I continued, "I will always love you too Brady. "
With that, i ran back towards the surf house, leaving Brady behind. Once i reached my bedroom, i locked up myself in my room and just cried myself to sleep hoping the pain would go away.
I remembered avoiding Brady for weeks in school and whenever he would come around and visit me in the surf house, i would always make sure that i would be "sleeping" or "sick". He seemed to understand what i was doing and he would stop trying to talk to me. However, i remembered saying a few words to him one day and then bam! We were suddenly best friends again, like nothing ever happened. Some exes end up never being friends but its different for Brady and I.
We were not going to let a failed relationship to ruin the genuine friendship we have. Fact is, we even went out with some people and we were both okay with it however it didnt work out for both of us since the people we were seeing are pretty jealous with the relationship with Brady and I. Some girls that Brady dated asked him to stop seeing me, and same goes for those guys who i dated asked me to stay away from Brady. However, Brady and I weren't going to have it. If you were going to have a relationship with me, than you have to accept that Brady is a big part of my life and same as Brady.
So it has been a year since that incident and my friendship with Brady was stronger than ever. And now its already summer again and we're bored as ever. Sure, we went surfing and hung out alot but that was just it. Don't get me wrong, i love surfing with Brady but then we get tired too you know.
I sighed, got up from my bed and headed over at my wall and got my blue guitar. Ever since, our short vacation to the Wet Side story, i have been learning how to play guitar. I guess all that music and singing got to me. And a certain brown haired boy.
I shook that thought away and sat on my bed and started to strumming the guitar. I closed my eyes and started to strum a certain tune that i have been playing for awhile. As i started strumming the guitar, it was like my fingers had a mind of its own and started to play a tune that I made by heart. I swear I could just lock myself in my room and just play the guitar the whole day.
"You know you've got to put lyrics on that right?"Brady's voice suddenly startled me. I looked up to see that leaning on my bedroom door frame with a smug look on his face. I gave him a small smile.
I snorted and shook my head, " You do know i tried to put lyrics in this but nothing seem to inspire me." I continued as he sat beside me, "And besides i think this piece suits as an instrumental. Don't you think so?"
He gave me a disbelief look, " What I think is that you should put lyrics on such a beautiful piece. Such thing like shouldn't be kept just an instrumental."
I know he's right, believe me i tried to put lyrics but i just couldn't find the right words to put it to be an actual song. Little did they know, I cant even put words into rhymes. I'm just really illiterate. I remembered rhyming Mack with Smack which was beyond horrific. So to avoid making it into a horrible song, i decided not to put words into the music.
I sighed defeatedly , "I'll see if I can make up something."
He gave me a pat on a shoulder and smiled widely, " Ata girl!"
I rolled my eyes and he chuckled, " Now drop the guitar and lets surf!"
So we did.
Chapter 2 will up be up soon! :)
