This was mini-story concept created for the Iron Chef: Lawndale Confessional on PPMB
The basic premise was video confessionals for the kids to get things off their chest in private. The theme of this would be Mack in a booth looking at the camera and "thinking" out loud.
Mack
The real reason I can't stand it when Kevin calls me "Mack Daddy" has nothing to do with Kevin at all. It's probably just something he heard or saw that managed to get lodged in what passes for his brain next to the spot his mind uses to reference me. It has everything to do with Summer before our sophomore year. Kevin's folks decided to spend the entire season at his grandmother's beach house in Florida, and Jodie was doing a Summer student internship in DC with some senator.
We were both lonely and there. Things kind of just happened. And then they happened again, and again and again. Two and a half months, of mind-blowing, wall cracking, bed breaking sex. To this day, I have absolutely no clue why the hell Kevin cheats on that woman. And I do mean woman. I refuse to call anyone built like that, with that much skill at pleasing a man, "girl".
But, it wasn't just the sex. After, we'd talk. It was kinda scary when I realized how much alike she and I are. Our situations that is. Turns out, she cheats on Kevin because he cheats on her. She tries to make him jealous so he'll pay more attention to her. She actually does care about him, in her own special way, but she made it clear she doesn't think she's really in love with him. Kind of the way I care about Jodie I guess. I guess we handle our romantic neglect in different ways.
Anyway, right before school started back up, we found out that there was a bit of a... situation. Yeah, that kind of situation. I know we made the right decision. I don't doubt that. Anyway, we don't talk about it, and no one else knows. We both try to avoid each other these days. It's just too awkward. But I will probably always wonder, "What if..." You know?
