OK, so yes, this is a week and a half late - SORRY! I forgot I was going on holiday, so as soon as I got home I finished it off and here it is! I have a chest infection or laryngitis or something similar, so if I'm off work, expect the next (possibly last chapter) soon!
Also, the song Macy sings is Can't Be tamed by Miley Cyrus - I have had it on repeat all day, it's addictive, but slightly annoying! ENJOY!
Macy stumbled back a few steps, looking anywhere but at Van Dyke, finally, she stopped on a corner and looked up at him, "Sorry, I was completely zoned out then, didn't realise what was going on," The excuse seemed to flow out of her lips easily and if he hadn't known about Nick he would have believed every word she was saying.
The onlookers who had no idea what was happening had all frozen in confusion, hoping for some juicy gossip or an explanation.
Macy suddenly grinned at Van Dyke, who was still working over what he had just figured out. She grabbed his hand, making sure to keep her head up and not look down the corridor the love of her life had just vanished down, and walked out of the school.

As soon as she was on her own, she rested her forehead against the nearest still object and sighed.
She still couldn't work out what Van Dyke was up to, or why Stella had given her such a task, or why Nick was so angry at her – Well, she thought, she knew it was because he liked her, possibly even loved her, but she couldn't work out why he couldn't just tell her!
If Nick had just told her how he felt as soon as he knew, she wouldn't be with Van Dyke, she wouldn't be unhappy and she wouldn't want to beat up her best friend.
Sighing again, she carried on with her walk home – Eventually everything would be sorted.

Things seemed to get worse over the next few days – People who read her website were starting to leave angry comments and quite a few people were unsubscribing, all due to hearing about her argument with Nick. It was all going downhill. Not only was in the JONAS fans that were making it bad – Her fish had died, her dad had left town again after another argument with her mum and Van Dyke was being way too clingy. It was almost as if he expected her to vanish at any second – And to be perfectly honest, she had been thinking about it!

"'Baby, by now you should know, I can't be tamed... I can't be blamed... I'm not a mistake, I'm not a fake, it's set in my DN-'"
"Stop singing that," Macy's head shot up to look at Nick, who had just interrupted her singing under her breath, the song had been stuck in her head all day.
"Since when have you been allowed to tell me what to do?" She looked around, "Especially in a public park!" She stood up from the bench.
"I just meant that I don't like the song!" Nick muttered, "I didn't even realise you could sing, I thought you were terrible,"
"Well, whatever, I've gotta go anyway, keep the bench," Macy turned to leave, not sure how to tell him that she'd been taking singing lessons.
She was about to walk away when a hand grabbed her wrist. Macy looked up at him, her eyes questioning him.
"Please don't leave, I'm sorry, I just... Well I... I'm not very good at non-lyrical speeches, so, I'm just going to stick to sorry." He looked away from her, using his other hand to scratch the back of his head.
"You didn't really do anything, it's my fault, I'm sorry," Macy mumbled, she saw Nick's head shoot back up to look at her, glancing up, she could see the confusion written on his face, "Well, none of this would have started if I hadn't gone through your stuff!"
"But I wouldn't have been angry if you'd explained why to me, and also if I hadn't been jealou- Uh, if I hadn't, well, yea, we've both done stupid things." There seemed to be a hint of a bright smile on Macy's face, "Can we go back to being friends?" Macy's smile seemed to brighten, before she realised what he said and it dimmed.
"Friends? Uh, sure," Macy looked away, trying to keep the tears from flooding out of her eyes and down her face.
"What?" Nick tried to pull her around to look at him, "Am I not good enough to be your friend anymore? Now that you've got Van Dyke, you don't need me anymore?" Macy tried to speak and stop him,
"What? No! Of course not!"
He seemed to ignore her, "Fine, if that's the way you want it, goodbye Macy." Before she could even gather up the strength to stop him, he had disappeared from view.
There wasn't even a chance for her to stop the waterfall now.
Neither of the two had noticed the small crowd gathered behind the trees, four of them – The matchmakers, two others – Paparazzi, neither noticed the other.

Nick somehow managed to stumble home in one piece, even with bleary eyes and tears running down his face. It was a miracle no one noticed him – he wasn't exactly taking much care about where he was walking or his disguise. All he could feel was his heart breaking and sad lyrics building in his head.
As soon as he stepped in the house, his mother appeared, "Nick? What's wrong? You don't cry, something's definitely wrong! Tell me, honey!"
He looked up at her, and fell into her open arms, "She doesn't care," Those were the only words that escaped his mouth, but she didn't need to know anything else.
"Macy, wow, she must be some girl, you don't get like this over anything." After a while, with no response, she asked, "What did she do? Tell you she doesn't like you?" He shook his head, "So you didn't tell her you loved her?" As soon as he shook his head again, she looked at him carefully, "maybe you should,"
"No, she doesn't care! She doesn't want to be my friend anymore!" He wiped the tears away angrily, "I can't believe I'm like this over a girl!"
"You're in love, honey, everyone gets like this, even your father." She sighed an stroked his hair.
"OK, I think I do love her, but she doesn't even want to my friend! I can barely cope watching her with Van Dyke, how can I live without her as a friend!"
"Are you sure she didn't mean she wanted you as more than a friend?" Nick's head shot off his mothers shoulder, starting to think back to his conversation with Macy in the park.
The arms around him moved away and she watched her son carefully, his face brightened and she could've sworn a flicker of a smile almost crossed it.
Hopefully there wasn't too many mistakes and stuff in there! I randomly ran off to watch Doctor Who, so even after reading it through three times, there's probably still mistakes because Matt Smith has this way of making my head spin!
Remember - Five reviews I will update! Also, please let me know if you want after the kiss, because otherwise next chapter will be the last one!
THANKS! :D
