(A/N I know you guys, I suck big time! But, right now (and it is 12:10 AM thank you!) I am going to write, like, four chapters, so all I need to do is log on, add the chapter to the story, and go on about my day. I know you guys are going to hate me, but I am leaving for six weeks at the end of this one, but I will be back, and I will update, I swear! But I'm going to try to get like, three or four update up before I leave, so, please don't hate me/my story! Any ways, here's the story. Enjoy!)
The Block Estate
Massie's Bedroom, The iPad
Saturday, May 10th, 2008
11:26 AM
Massie was sitting in her bed, reading a magazine calmly, and sipping Chai Tea. Bean was sitting beside her, and her friends were all sound asleep on her floor. They hadn't been able to fall asleep until 6:00 that morning; they had been talking about the current situation they were in. Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen thought that they needed to talk to the police, while Claire and Massie thought it would be best to wait. All in all, it was a pretty hectic night.
Massie finished her tea, and clinked down her teacup. She knew that going out alone was probably the worst thing for her, but in the past couple years, when she got really stressed, she would take Bean, and go for a walk in the nearby park. So, she put on a tracksuit, left her sleeping friends a note, grabbed Bean, and ran downstairs and out the door.
The walk was quiet. No one seemed to be out, except for one car full of frat guys, who honked and wolf whistled at her. Massie had walked all through the park, and was just about to turn home when some one called her name. "Massie?"
She turned around. "Eh ma gawd! Brinna?!" Massie reached out her arms for a hug, and quickly hugged the tall and skinny, very pretty blonde girl standing in front of her. Brinna was about 20, and had been Massie's babysitter a few years back. Her parents were friends with Massie's parents, and they didn't have a lot of money (although Brinna was still into designer, was hip, and was Massie's 3rd grade role model) so Massie's parents gave her a job for them.
20 minutes later, Brinna was filled in with all the details of Massie's life. Including the stalker part. "Wow, sounds like you've done a lot of growing up since I last saw you. How old were you? Like, twelve?" Brinna asked.
Massie smiled. "Yea, well, you know, every one has to grow up some time."
Brinna smiled, but then said, "You know, I think you should tell some one about this run in with, what was his name, Cam?"
Massie nodded and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"And I don't know how you're so calm about all of this!" Brinna sighed, and Massie shrugged. "I guess…I guess I'm just glad I know who it was."
"Well, I think you should at least tell your boyfriend." Brinna said, and stood up. (She and Massie had been sitting on the grass, their designer heels sitting beside them, watching Bean roll around in front of them.) "Well, I should probably go. I have a go see at three, and I still need to fish through my portfolio and pluck out the pictures I can't stand."
"Go see?" Massie stood up too. "You mean you're a model?"
"Aspiring, yea. That's why I came back; I have a meeting with the manager of Westchester mall." Brinna smiled at her. "Well, first step, Westchester, next step, Victoria's Secret, right?"
Massie nodded, and couldn't help but think how, well, awesome Brinna was.
"But you have my number, so if you need any thing, just call, or text, ok? I'm in town for a few weeks." Brinna waved, and fished a Blackberry out of her messenger bag.
Massie smiled to herself, even though Brinna's parents didn't have a lot of money, she didn't let that keep her down. She then reached inside the pocket of her Juicy sweats and fished out her Sidekick. She didn't have any texts; she figured her friends must be sleeping. So, she whistled Bean over, put her leash back on, and started to walk home.
And then, she decided that she might as well take Brinna's advice (she looked up to her in Grade Three, she might as well look up to her now.) and called Derrington.
"Hey, Derrick?" She said calmly into the phone when he answered. "I need to talk to you. Can we meet?"
30 minutes later she was outside the Harrington house, sitting on the grass, telling her boyfriend the whole story of every thing that had gone on in the past few weeks. His first response was, "Why didn't you tell me?" But that changed quickly into anger. "I'm going to kick Fisher's ass!" He said angrily, standing up.
"NO!" Massie shouted, and stood up too.
"Look Massie, I know he's your friend, I mean, he's mine too, but, we need to get him help!" Derrington spat angrily.
Massie wiped her cheek in disgust and looked her boyfriend straight in the eye. "Look, I know you're mad, believe me, I am too. But telling on him isn't going to help any thing, ok! Plus, think of what it'll do to Claire!"
Derrington clenched his fist, then unclenched it. He took a deep breath, and then let it out. "Ok, I won't say any thing. But if he visit's you again, promise you'll tell me?"
"I can take care of myself." Massie sniffed.
"Promise?" Derrington put both hands on Massie's shoulders and started into her eyes. Massie felt like he was peering inside her soul, and it made her weak at the knees. "I promise." She mumbled.
Derrington smiled and let go. "Cool. Well, I have to go, my mom's going to blow a gasket if I don't go in there and help her with the organizing. I'll call you." Then he planted a kiss firm on her lips, and walked back inside his house.
Massie smiled to herself, and turned on her heel and walked Bean home. When she got inside, Claire was waiting for her in the foyer. "Massie!" Claire shouted at her, which was unlike her. "Why weren't you answering your phone?"
"Chill out Claire!" Massie snapped at her. "For your information I was with Derrington."
Claire softened. "Oh…did you…tell him? About Cam?"
Massie nodded. "Well, see I ran into my old babysitter, and we talked about it, and she said to tell him, so I did. But he promised he wouldn't tell any one. So it's all good!"
Claire sighed. "I still don't believe…I mean…"
Alicia, Kristen, and Dylan suddenly appeared, and joined the conversation. "He did freak out and throw Dylan to the floor." Kristen pointed out, and Alicia stuck up her pointer finger. "Point."
"Look", Massie said, massaging her temples. "I have so much homework and shit. Don't you guys?" With out looking up or waiting for an answer, she said, "I plan to spend my whole weekend catching up. You guys in?"
"Done." Alicia said first.
"Done" Kristen smiled.
"Done", Dylan burped.
"And done!" Claire slapped Alicia a high five.
"Let's do it!" They all laughed together.
(A/N Oh, the drama's just beginning! I'll post the next chapter up really soon, I swear guys! I hope you liked it though, the next one will have tons of action, I swear! Please review! Thanks guys, for all your support, I really apprieciate it, even though I suck at updating!)
