Chapter 1: Kicking and Screaming

Macy claims she's over Nick but is she? And what happened to the Rock star anyway?

Nick/Macy


/Passing Cars. Fast paced Crowds/

Everything seemed to merge into one. I rubbed my eyes hoping that the sleep would have been wiped away. I fought the urge to rest my head on the steering wheel. One minute won't hurt…I snapped my head up and focused on the road. This new job Stella had signed me up for started at 5 am. Meaning I had to wake up at 3 am to got ready and buy my new boss a coffee after about I dunno…26 minutes sleep! I spotted Stella waving frantically, how could she be so preppy in the morning? I thought that was my trait. I parked and let her walk to me. I slipped out of the car and looked down at Stella. Who would have known I'd end up taller than her?

"You're the new assistant," She beamed and dragged me into the stylish building. I groaned.

"Why am I up so early?" I whined and handed her the hot beverage.

"Well, the boss doesn't get here until about 8 or 9 am but we have to tidy his office and make sure everything is in order?" I stared at her in disbelief.

"You've got to be kidding me…."

"I've got a feeling you'll like the boss," Stella smirked at me.

I stood still and cocked my head to the side and raised an eye brow hoping that she'll explain what she meant. I tapped my foot impatiently waiting.

"Well, who would you love to be your boss if you worked in a record company?" Stella asked. STILL not answering me.

"Uh, Michael Jackson?"

"No."

"Ooooh oohh! I know that British dude Simon know, the one on American Idol!"

She gave me a blank face. I'm guessing that's a no.

Stella hit my arm,"No, Nick Lucas. I thought you'd know who owned J RECORDS. "

I skipped a heart beat. Nick. Nick Lucas. Ha. The bastard can rot in hell. I screwed my face up and folded my arms.

"Oh, Mace. You told him…When? Why didn't you tell me?" Stella hugged me and stroked my hair then kissed my head. I wanted to push her off me and tell her I was over it but I don't think I am. I hadn't thought of him in ages. I tried to wipe him out of my memory. I haven't seen him in what 3 or 4 years.

"Last day of High school…I told him everything. Spilled my heart out. He didn't even flinch but laughed and said 'Get real Misa. We're adults not children any more' Do you think I'd really want to tell you!"

Stella shook her head and mumbled, " What Nick? I thought he liked you…He wouldn't do that…Would he?"

We dropped the subject after that. I felt like k i c k i n g and s c r e a m i n g but held my self together and remained calm. What a wonderful beginning to my day. Ha! I passed his office and saw two figures inside. I switched on the light to see who it was. I guess curiosity got the best of me.

"F*ck off!" Nick snapped while rubbing his eyes. He was shirtless. I didn't need an explanation to tell me what had happened here. Those abs… Those curls…I felt dizzy for a second and held on to the door. His curls were short (Like in Burning Up ), he had slight stubble and in general his feature were much more mature. He didn't look like the guy I knew. Nick got up and started to walk up to me. I backed away.

"Hey! Did you find it?" Stella called while running up to me she was out of breath. She could have twisted an ankle with those 5 inch heels! "Oh, you've met? Nick? Are you-"

"Stella! Who is this?" He pointed at me like I wasn't there and then checked me out. I felt violated by his wandering eyes. But most of all I felt hurt. He didn't remember me...

"Macy,"

"Sounds familiar."

Ha. It does? Maybe because we were almost best friends for 4 years. Oh yeah, that means nothing to you does it Lucas?

A blond, probably a model, got up clutching a quilt to her bare body. "Come back Nick."

"I'll be there in a minute beautiful,"Nick said. He had never said beautiful to me.

"Pure 'till marriage." I scoffed and dashed out. I couldn't believe how someone you could know so well could turn out to be such a … I don't have the word right now! But he's turned into something bad! I knew he was too perfect. He just had to slip up sometime.

"Mace!" I heard Stella shout. I could tell she was getting closer.

I didn't know where I was and soon drew to a halt only now feeling the wetness on my cheeks. This was pathetic. Macy Misa does NOT cry for guys. Well not anymore. I don't know what he possessed that made him have such control over me. I hated him for that. No despised him for it.


/The clock struck nine and the building was bustling/

"Macy!" I heard a male voice shout.

"He's calling you. You're lucky. He's never called me. His people normally do it." A girl walking past me hissed. I shuffled to his office. He lifted his hand as to say come closer. I sat on the sofa. Nick was now fully dressed in some expensive suit and had about a whole bottle of after shave poured on him. I fiddled with the end of my hair.

"Mina right?" Wrong. I let him continue "I um vaguely remember you. Like how you play with your hair when your nervous, eat bubble gum ice cream when your happy and chew your nails to pass time. But who the heck are you? Why to I know these things!" Nick screamed at me and run his fingers through his hair furious.

I didn't look at him," I'll tell you that when you tell me when you became an ass hole "

"Don't speak to me like that! Who do you think you are? I'm Nick Lucas your boss and a billionaire." Oh wow! I hadn't realized that until now...Woah.

"You forgot washed up pop star." I shot. My eyes now narrowed. I never did figure out why he had stop music but right now I didn't give a damn. I headed for the door suddenly feeling hot. Something had caught hold of my arm.

"You remind me of someone. She always told me how it was. Never did sugar coat things." He breathed into my ear and chuckled. A shiver went down my spine. I tried to figure out what he meant: You remind me of someone. She always told me how it is. Never did sugar coat things.

"I wish she could see you now," I shook out of his grip."And how far you've fallen."

It hurt him. I could see it in his eyes. Those chocolate one I adored for years. They began to water. He scream through his teeth. "Get Out! Now!"


/I haven't spoken to him since/

I looked up to see Stella grinning at me. What did she do this time...? Did she break my blackberry again? I swear that girl is going to kill me one day.

"What?"

"I'm glad we're friends." That was random. She rambled on about all the good times we've had and how I've helped her through so many things. I did not realize how much of an impact I had on Stella. Sure, I was her best friend but she was always strong headed and got what she want. I didn't that I would be much use to reminisced and to my surprise I found my self laughing. Stella's face hardened. I was suddenly worried. She pointed behind me. It was Nick.

"Can I speak to her for a moment?" He pointed at me for the second time today. I mouthed 'No' to Stella. But she ignored me and left.

"Yeah give me the 'Best Friends forever' speech and leave me when I need you!" I muttered angrily.

The people around me were now started leaving.

"Come on guys! Don't you want something to gossip about? Stay and listen!" Like Stella they ignored me.

It was now me and him, him and me, alone in the room. I checked the exits. How fast could I get there? 5 seconds? My breaths were heavy and my body shaking. I should be stronger than this. His lips turned into a smirk.

"Now…"


DUN DUN DUN....CLIFF HANGER! Muhahahahahahahaha! (Evil laugh)
