This is the chapter everyone was waiting for. Lol, well not exactly.
I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck. ~Emma Goldman
"Happy Birthday!" people cheered as Massie made her grand entrance. She walked down the staircase in a lovely white Prada dress. Two sparkling clips pinned back her curls. She felt like an angel with the way her dress glistened under the light. Everyone clasped as she finally reached the bottom. Elegant was the perfect description of the night. Black and white suits were the attire for the men. The ladies were all wore dressed of designer names. Silver balloons floated up to the ceiling. Purple streamers laced through the room. Technicolor confetti danced in the air. Something about the room said, 'hey something amazing is about to happen.
"You look amazing!" Kendra Block was the first to greet her at the bottom of the staircase.
"Thanks mom," Massie smiled.
"You better go greet your guests," William told her, already a martini glass was in his hand.
"Sure dad," Massie nodded and made a round around the foyer. By the door, stood a table piled with presents of all sizes.
"Massie," a voice said behind her. Massie turned to see Cam Fisher.
"Cam!" Massie smiled and hugged him.
The CFMB bracelet was dangling off her small wrist.
"You look amazing," Cam commented.
"Thank you, Cam." Massie blushed.
"Massie, can we speak privately?" Cam asked her. Massie nodded and followed Cam to the glass sliding door by the Block's living room. They needed to squeeze through the crowds but managed to make it in one piece.
"So, what's up?" Massie asked once they were outside.
"Massie, I just have to say this," Cam said. Massie waited as Cam cleared his throat.
"I think you're incredible," Cam told her, "and I've been in love with you since the ninth grade."
Massie gulped.
"And I you're in love with him. You always have been," Cam continued. "I thought if I could just give you the time, you'd grow out of it. But you haven't and I feel like I wait forever, I'll miss my chance."
Cam's eyes were wet, his voice was cracking, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.
"You're the most amazing person in the world," Cam said, "and I love you."
Massie stood there, paralyzed. She could feel her palms growing sweaty and her mouth turning dry.
"Cam, I--," Massie began but Cam cut her off. "You don't need to say anything."
Massie had nothing to say back. Here was Cam confessing his love to her. Here was Cam saying all the things Massie already knew.
"I'm sorry," was all Massie could say.
"I know you are," Cam said back, "I know that you'll probably never love me the way you love him.
But, Massie listen, I'm so tired of watching you get hurt." Cam said.
Massie shook her head; tears were already in her amber eyes.
"It's hard watching you love him, but it's harder watching your heart break because of him." Cam was saying, "I will never hurt you, Massie."
"You're hurting me right now," Massie whispered and walked towards the glass door. Inside everyone was laughing and having a good time. Massie slid the door open and left Cam outside, he whispered to himself, "I will always love you Massie Block.
Love is like a puzzle. When you're in love, all the pieces fit but when your heart gets broken, it takes a while to get everything back together. ~Author Unknown

Cam was right. He was right about everything. Massie would always love Derrick with all her heart and in the end; all he would do was break it. The worst part was Derrick would never know he was doing it. She's loved Derrick Harrington for more than half her life. But he never had a clue. He's been breaking Massie's heart more than anyone ever could.
Was the circle ever going to end?
Then there was Cam, who has been nothing but sweet. Cam who has been mending Massie's broken heart, till she got better. Then there was Massie, who was breaking Cam's heart and her own because of her love for Derrick. It was endless circle, where they already forgot where the start was and they were nowhere near the end. All they ever did was go round and round with no intention on stopping.
"You alright?" a voice asked behind her. Massie wiped her eyes then turned to see Dylan, her hand tightly in Josh's.
"Yeah," Massie nodded and looked down at her heels, "I'm alright."

"Skye as much as I like you," Derrick was saying to her, "I just don't think I want to be in a relationship."
"Why?" she asked. The two were in Derrick's BMW, right outside Massie's house.
"I just… can't." Derrick said to her.
Skye was now near in tears. "I don't understand."
"I don't want to hurt you," Derrick said.
"Then why are you?" Skye sniffled.
Derrick Harrington was not fond of breaking girls' hearts. But he always ended up doing so. He was cursed when it came to relationships. Girls broke his hearts and he broke girls' hearts.
"I'm sorry," Derrick said softly.
"Just take me home," Skye said to him.
Derrick sighed then drove down the Block's driveway. She was upset. Tears were streaming down her face. She was destroyed.
"I'm sorry," Derrick said once they were parked in front of Skye's home. He didn't know what to say except "sorry."
Skye was a great person, but Derrick was sure she wouldn't die because he wasn't looking for a relationship. Derrick had his heart broken a thousand times. He got over it and so will she.
"How could you even be with me?" Skye's voice was hoarse. "When you love her…"
Derrick turned to her, "what?"
"Massie," Skye said and got out of Derrick's car. She slammed the door and raced down her driveway.
Derrick watched her in shock.
The flame of love is now just a cold loneliness. ~Uniek Swain

The party still continued at the Block's mansion. Everyone was too busy having a good time, to notice the birthday girl sitting all by herself in the dark corner. No one seemed to notice the way her tears fell onto her dress. No one seemed to notice she was dying of a broken heart. No one seemed to notice or no one seemed to care.
"Wipe your tears," a voice said to her. Massie looked up from her knees and saw Derrick Harrington. Massie stared up in wonder. She hasn't seen him since they went sky diving earlier that day.
"You alright?" Derrick asked and extended his hand out to her. She grabbed it with no response.
Suddenly, "Go" by Boys Like Girls was blasting through the room. Massie smiled for the first time all night, life was so cliché sometimes.
As if Derrick read her mind, he laughed too, "Dance with me?"
Massie nodded and followed him to the dance floor. People made way and stood back to watch.
Derrick spun Massie in a circle, her sparkling dress twirling along with her. Massie and Derrick moved to the rhythm perfectly. His arms around her waist and her arms around his neck, she's never felt more secure. Everyone stopped and stared. They moved smoothly under the spotlight. Everyone continued to watch in awe. That was love.
