Massie looked at her reflection in the mirror with disgust.
"This is gad's punishment to me," she told herself. "I've actually run away from the trouble and pain I've caused. Is this really so me that's I'd pull a Gossip Girl: Serena van der Woodsen move and run?"
She went back to sleep, seriously in no emotional condition to live today, or the next day.

"What do you mean she's gone?" Derrick shouted at Alicia over the phone.
"It means she's gone Derrick," she replied icily. "And you have no one to blame but yourself. So don't pull any of this crap. It's your fault that Massie left, your fault that she almost got killed, and it's your fault we're all so screwed up right now.
I mean have you seen Cam today, or any of the other Pretty Committee members? They're torn up about this just as much as I am, but it's your fault."
"Look Alicia!" he said. "I know I screwed up but-"
"But nothing," Alicia practically snarled. "When Mass is home, when she forgives you for everything, and when everything is back to normal again? Then we'll talk about your screw ups."
She hung up abruptly and turned to the PC.
"He won't be calling for a while, I'm sure," she said.
Kristen was serious.
"He can't know Massie's only an hour away. The last thing she wants is for him to come and beg again. She needs to heal and we're going to help her through," she said.
Dylan was solemn.
"Hopefully we can bring her back before the showcase. That record deal means so much to all of us, and I don't want it if I can't share it with the girl who brought us all together for it."
"Yes, but how? I think it's clear that Massie's trust and respect is something near impossible to earn. Even more so to earn back," Claire contradicted.
"I don't know," said Alicia. "But we've got to. We owe it to Mass and ourselves."
She took a deep breath and continued quickly.
"Besides, I miss her."
"That is true. So what are we going to do Leesh?" Dylan asked.
"Anything and everything. We'll start by getting her home."
Kristen nodded and whipped out her X1 (A/N: Remember?). She quickly dialed Massie's number and put it on speaker.
"Hey," said a very weak, or rather heartbroken voice.
"We're coming up to get you tomorrow. Your parents are worried sick!" Alicia scolded her alpha.
Massie sighed, "I promised I'd be home tomorrow."
"But you still need to call," Claire insisted.
Massie groaned.
"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow, now let me hide some more," she mumbled.
"Bye Mass. Luhv ya," the Pretty Committee said in unison.

"Cam? You okay man?" Josh asked his friend.
Cam was miserable.
"I just lost my little sister because a friend of mine was an ass. How do you think I am Josh?" he snapped. "Sorry."
"I know," he said. "But it's gonna be fine. The girls are going to convince her to come home and D will make up with her. It's gonna be okay. Massie deserves that."
Josh sounded more concerned with convincing himself, rather than Cam.
"Well, she's visiting tomorrow. Mrs. Block is making her come home and visit every weekend," Josh said, attempting to up the gloomy mood in his home.
"Yeah, on the bright side," Cam mumbled.
And I'll never give myself to another
The way I gave it to you
Don't even recognize
The ways you hurt me
Do you?
It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back
And you're the one to blame
And now I feel like, oh
You're the reason
Why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on
These cigarettes no more
I guess that's what I get
For wishful thinking
I should've never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
Cause now I'm using like I bleed
It's like I checked into rehab and
Baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked into rehab and
Baby, you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
"Rehab" by Rihanna…I chose this song because it fits this chapter if you read between the lines…
Anyway, I think I'm on a roll with this series, but it will be ending soon. Don't worry though. After "Can It Ever Be?" I'm going to finish "Forever" and write a few oneshots. Then I may or may not write a horror/drama. I am also considering a sequel to "Can It Ever Be?" but most likely not.
See, the only way I can bring myself to write a good sequel is to give this one a sad ending and I just don't have the heart to do that to Derrington and Massie.
Anyways, you can see I have a lot planned but for now? It's a Sunday night and I cannot be wiped out tomorrow. I have school and it's the third quarter. I have to make up for my B in history…
But then again, it is only eight…so I'm going to write up a new chapter on "Forever."
See you when my fingers have stopped lightly skimming the keyboard.
