laurenroxbrough- Thank you for reviewing on my story. As the story develops I plan to become more in depth with the relationship not only Mackenzie but Erik as well share with Klaus and why things are so strained.

bookfreak345- Thank you for your constant reviewing. Here is your update! :)

brebre 1 D- Yes as the story adapts I really do plan to have Mackenzie spending more time with her siblings. Probably around Chapter 9 there should be some Mackenzie/Amelia time! Eventually Caroline and Mackenzie will come to some sort of resolution. Thank you so much for reviewing!

KleoCullen- Thank you for your constant reviewing I really do appreciate it. Eventually she and Caroline will come to a resolution where they will get along. She doesn't want them to hate their father she doesn't want her issues with Klaus/Caroline to effect their relationship with him. Yes in chapter nine, what I am currently writing I am going to try and get some Mackenzie/Amelia time in their especially. Her other siblings will be added as well though if I can get to it! Thank you again for reviewing! :)

Chelseab95- Thank you so much for reviewing! I already have homecoming written which is going to be chapter 7 :) but I can say that your idea of having Caroline help plan gave me an idea. Since Mackenzie and Erik are going to eventually turn sixteen in the story your idea made me think that Caroline should plan their party because she really is good with planning and organizing! :) Thank you so much for your review.

THANK YOU ALL FOR REVIEWING! ^.^

Mackenzie Michaelson

Chapter 5 ~ Listening

I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DAIRES!

In my Freshman year of High School I had Geometry then that class was followed by A.P. World History. That's where I had really gotten close to Aj considering we had those two classes together. Over those two courses we had gotten to know one another, well we had learned more than each others names and I fell for him.

On May 3rd a couple of weeks before regions and finals he had built up the courage to ask me out. Of course I said yes. I would be a fool not too.

Aj was amazing. He was tall and the amazingly hot. He had mocha colored skin and sharp brown eyes. I could stare into his eyes all day. Aj had amazing muscles. You could literally always see them popping out of his shirt. At times when I noticed girls staring I would get annoyed. Last time I checked he was my boyfriend and I was not sharing him.

AT ALL.

The good thing was I knew I could trust Aj. Not only could I trust him I was able to give him my heart and he had done nothing but take care of it so far.

"All right," the sharp voice of Mr. Leon took charge. He was our class adviser. "Now it is time for us to start with out homecoming floats. What do we have?"

He was standing in front of everyone so I got up from the seat I was sitting in and stood next to him. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" I made sure that there was excitement in my voice causing Aj to roll his eyes at me. I just stuck out my tongue in return.

"How do you know?"

"I am class President," I spoke before giving him a look that spoke 'nuh duh'.

"Oh yeah I forgot." I rolled my eyes. Of course he did. "So we need to start making the float as soon as possible. We build it same place as last year I have already checked for the clear. Oh yeah and I want to win again."

I rolled my eyes but stood standing. Of course he wanted to win. Like we didn't already know that.

"Alright. So what were we thinking of doing for the float."

"Christmas themed."

"Sit down Michaelson."

I stood tall when Mr. Leon said that and grinned. "Why? I am just as important as you. I am president."

That shut him up. Kylie spoke up, "Someone should dress as the Grinch for the parade and stuff. Oh Mackenzie can go as Molly Sue."

"Cindy Lou stupid." I corrected her. We had been having this argument forever. She really needed to watch the movie.

"Whatever."

"How am I supposed to go as Cindy Lou? First off have you seen my hair," I grabbed a lock in my hands. "In the movie hers is all up and stuff." I wasn't exactly sure how to explain it but I was sure that Kylie was getting my drift. "I don't know how to make my hair look like that."

"I'll do it."

I laughed aloud and she glared at me. I got tired of standing so I sat back down. Besides I would be standing after this because I was going right to Field Hockey practice when this meeting was up.

Speaking of Field Hockey...

"Can we hurry up this is cutting into my Field Hockey time." I commented causing Mr. Leon to glare and Kylie to laugh at his glare.

"You should see her during Basketball season. You will be lucky if she even shows up to meetings at all."

"Shut up Kylie you play basketball too."

"Yeah but you go crazy over the sport. I on the other hand know to contain myself."

I sat back in my chair and didn't comment. "You can all go to practice or whatever you have to do but I want to meet again this Friday so we can have some things straightened out so watch the movie again and read the books. I want to win again. Your dismissed."

"Sir yes sir." Mr. Leon gave me a look and I just gave him a big grin before clasping my hand with Aj and leaving.

"You still coming to my house after practice?"

I nodded. "Of course."

I told Uncle Elijah that I was going to be hanging out with Kylie's which was partly true. I was going over to Aj's house right after practice and then later his mom was going to drop us off at the grill. We were going to be with Kylie, my brother and Grace. Aunt Bonnie was driving me home afterwords so it wasn't that big of a deal.

"Alright. I will meet you by the locker room door in the back." Aj had walked me to the field where I could see my team already practicing. I gave him a quick kiss before he departed going off towards the cross country team.

"Get the love depressed smile off you will see him later and have literally all day to spend with him." Kylie spoke as we started our laps. I could really just throw something at her sometimes.

I felt safe being in Aj's arms. The way he could made me feel was so unexplainable. I loved him so much.

I was laying in his arms finishing up some of the last of my homework while he was finishing up a short story we had read in English since he had been away. As soon as I finished I set my notebook down dropping it on the floor. We were laying on his bed having an amazing moment and I didn't want to ruin it but I really wanted to talk to him.

Aj was a good listener and I could always tell him about my family issues. I kept the supernatural part out but for the most part I told him everything.

"What's on your mind?" I looked up and Aj's eyes bore into mines. "Don't even bother lying because I have been looking at you for five minutes and you have been deep in thought."

I sat up a bit and he leaned back into the pillows that were still on his bed. "You know how last weekend I was at my fathers house?" He nodded so I continued. "Well it was awkward as hell for starters but just a few minutes before I ended up leaving Caroline asked me why I hated her."

"Did you respond?"

I shook my head. "No. Erik came in and told me that Uncle Elijah was there so I booked. I have been thinking about it a lot and it doesn't help that she is now the varsity cheer assistant coach because I see her more than I want to."

"Tell her the truth."

"What that I hate her because my dad chose her over my brother and I."

"If you don't want to tell her then you don't have to."

"I felt bad though, when she asked. She looked helpless like a child that lost their mother in the store and can't find her anywhere. I mean I wasn't going to change my opinion and pretend to like her but I still feel bad."

"Mackenzie when you think about it we only have two years left until we are graduating." I gave him a look. "My point is life it short. So if you want nothing do with your step mom and your father then that's fine. I just want you to think about everything. I don't want you to regret things when you are older."

I gave Aj a small smile. "Has anyone ever told you how amazing you are?"

"You can tell me." I grinned and leaned in giving him a gentle kiss on the lips.

"You are amazing and I love you so much."

"I love you too." It wasn't long before we were making out on his bed. His arms wrapped around my waist and my arms around his neck holding him too me. Even though our kiss was passionate it was also gentle and sweet. Damn, I loved him so much.

In this story I don't really want it to be just about Mackenzie's relationship with Klaus I want this to be about Mackenzie life in general and her viewpoints and opinions on things and how she feels.

I really do want to give thanks to everyone who has been so kind to support this story. It truly does mean a lot to me.

Also I know some people were also wondering about Haley. I do plan on having her come in but not yet. I am trying to get the bond between Klaus/Mackenzie/Erik fixed before I really worry about her. And I was just wondering what people thought about Elijah and Katherine? I personally like them as a couple but I always like to hear, well read what others think.

I know some of you wanted more Jason, Mason & Amelia and I am currently writing it for chapter 9 and they will also feature in chapter 10 which is going to be a thanksgiving chapter. Thanks for reading everyone! :)

I got five amazing reviews from the previous chapter wondering if I can get anymore than that?! You are all amazing! :)
