The day had dragged on for the 14 year old, it was so boring for her to just follow around the older blonde. She sat there and just watched filming and dance routines. It was getting old really fast, she was instructed to sit in a chair and don't move. She really didn't want to make Heather angry at her so she did her best not to move. Although, Heather did say she had to stay in the chair, she said nothing about scooting the chair over to Lea and Dianna. So that's exactly what Mackenzie did, she moved the chair over to them.

"Mackenzie, what are you doing over here? Aren't you supposed to be where Heather left you?" Dianna asked the girl.

"She said that I couldn't leave the seat, and I haven't." Mackenzie explained. "I got bored anyway, so I thought I'd come converse with you."

"Well, why don't we talk about how you got yourself into this position." Lea prompted.

"Well, I may have or may not have given some disrespect to an adult in my life and used some words that shouldn't be in my vocabulary in this said conversation." The small girl casually explained.

"Mackenzie!" Di exclaimed, "What did you say?"

"I rather not get into that conversation."

"It couldn't have been that bad," Lea continued, "I mean come on your 14 what could this conversation have been about."

"I said I don't want to talk about it." Mackenzie said again, keeping herself calm.

"You can trust us honey, you can tell us. Whatever you say, stays here we wont go running to Heather and tell her everything. Unless its something that could cause harm to yourself." Lea said softly to the girl in front of her.

"I really appreciate that ladies, I do. It's just really something I don't like talking about." Mackenzie said to the girls in front of her.

Before they could continue the conversation a certain blonde marched her way over to the group. She didn't look to pleased at the moment which meant Mackenzie was probably in a lot of trouble. "Mackenzie, would you like to explain to me why you aren't where I left you?" she said crossing her arms over her chest, staring down at the girl.

"You said I couldn't leave the chair and I didn't. So I don't really see the problem."

Heather just pointed in the direction that the girl had originally was sitting. It was clear to say that she wanted her to move back there. Listening to her guardian she moved back over to where she was supposed to be sitting. Heather followed her over there and put her hands on either side of the chair and leaned closely to the young girl.

"Mackenzie, it is in your best interest to stay where I ask you too. You've gotten away with a lot of stuff lately and you're grounded. If you keep acting the way you're acting today then I can promise you a very sore bottom by the time we get home. Is that what you want?" Heather said, just loud enough for the girl in front of her to hear.

"You wouldn't do that, you only did that once. I'm way to old for that stupid stuff." The 14 year old argued back.

"Don't test me Mackenzie because I'm not bluffing. You're not to old for it, I'm doing what's best for you. We're leaving in 2 hours, so please just try to behave."

Heather's POV

After shooting the last couple of scenes we were able to go home. Mackenzie was waiting for me back in my trailer collecting her stuff. I was walking there to go get her, when Naya came up to me.

"Hey NayNay, what's up?"

"I don't mean to get into your and Mackenzie's personal life but what's going on?" she asked, trying not to seem like she was intruding.

I sighed, "It's complicated to explain, I don't know how to tell you without getting to into it." I said, trying to think of a way to explain it to my best friend.

"Is she okay at least?"

I smiled at how concerned she was for a girl she just met a couple weeks ago. "She's okay for now Naya. I can't tell you much but I will tell you this. Mackenzie has a very hard, complicated past. She wont admit it but she has some things she needs to still get through. You being here for her is all she needs right now. When she trusts you enough, she'll open up to you."

"Can't you just tell me?" Naya asked, I could tell she was really looking for some answers.

"It's not my story to tell Naya, you just have to be patient.

"Okay, I'll try." She gave me a smile and then asked, "Are you okay? You seem stressed."

"I'm fine, it just gets hard sometimes. She leans on me for so much it just gets to much sometimes."

"Hey," she said softly, wrapping me up in a hug, "If it gets to much then you can lean on me, I'm your best friend. You don't need to tell me everything, but I'm still going to be here for you."

"Thank you Naya." I whisper, "I have to go get that goon home now, I'll talk to you later okay?"

"Okay. I love you Heather." Naya said sincerely

"I love you too."

Mackenzie's POV

I watched them from Heather's trailer and when I saw her coming up the stairs I quickly sat on the couch acting like I didn't see anything. When she came into the trailer she looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Its not polite to watch people threw a window you know."

"What were you talking about?" I asked standing up when she reached her hand out telling me to take it. I did and we walked out of her trailer and to her car.

"You." She said simply.

"What about me? What did you say?"

"She was just asking about why we've been acting so weird. She worries about you, you know." Heather said looking down at me.

I looked at my shoes and said, "How can she worry about me when she just met me. That doesn't make sense."

"You know Z, there are some people out there who actually care about people without having any other motives except being there friend."

I didn't answer her and continued to stare down at my shoes. A part of me believed her that Naya was just trying to be my friend but another part of me was telling me not to trust her. I just can't process the thought of someone actually caring about you even though they just met you. She had to have other motives. It only made sense.

"You didn't tell her what happened, did you?" I asked her softly after a couple moments of silence.

We got to Heather's car and she opened the back door for me to climb in. It's still lame that she makes me ride in the back. She got in and started to pull out of the parking lot. "You know I wouldn't tell her something like that. That's something for you to tell her when you become comfortable with her."

When we got back home I saw my dad's car in the drive way and Heather gave me a knowing look silently telling me that I was going to apologize to him as soon as we got settled in. I waited for her and grabbed her hand as we made her way in the home. I saw dad in the kitchen cooking dinner. It was the first time since we moved in that he was home to cook dinner.

"Dad?" I called out, still holding onto Heather's hand.

"Yes kenzie?" he said coming out from the kitchen looking at me.

I handed him the note that I wrote earlier in the day and said, "I'm sorry for the way I acted yesterday, it was disrespectful and rude of me to lash out on you like that. I'm sorry." I said softly, but loud enough for him to hear.

"Apology accepted." He said before moving back to the kitchen, "What I said last night was also wrong. I'm sorry for acting like a bad father."

"it's okay dad." I mumble.

"I'm proud of you for apologizing first." Heather whispered down to me, kissing the top of my head.

"There's someone I'd like you to meet." My dad said, I hadn't even realized there was someone else in the house. He came back out from the kitchen with a girl. "Mackenzie, Heather, this is Linda Blake, the lady I had lunch with the other day."

My heart dropped, he really had to bring her over right after we had a fight about her last night. We didn't even have time to talk about it yet and her brought her over to the house. I gripped Heather's hand harder and looked up to her for help. She just smiled down at me sympathetically with sad eyes.
