Chapter 3
Macy opened her eyes feeling very weak and in pain. 'Why am I in a hospital?" she thought looking at the wires and beds around her. She answered her own question as memories of that night flooded back in her head. If it weren't for JONAS Randolph would've killed her.
She looked down and smiled seeing Joe snoozing in a chair. 'But where are the others?' she asked herself. Surely even Stella would've been thought to be here. She took another look at Joe and leaned in closer.
"Open your eyes" she whispered then leaned back
He stirred and opened his eyes a crack. They immediately widened when he saw his smiling friend.
"Macy!" he cried happily
She giggled and was trapped in a bone-crushing hug by her friend feeling a love she's never experienced before.
He pulled away and looked in her eyes. "You're alright"
She smiled again and nodded. "Yeah"
He smiled and got up. "Be right back"
She watched him walk out and was confused until five minutes later when her other friends marched in.
"Macy!" exclaimed Kevin and Stella happily going over to her
Nick smiled and followed them.
The brunette managed a weak smile as her friends tightly hugged her.
"How bad was I?" she asked when they withdrew themselves from her
Her friends looked at each other warily.
"You fainted right after Joe practically beat the hell out of Randolph," explained Nick "You were pretty beaten up and bruised badly, but you're healing well"
Macy smiled sadly "Yeah"
They must've seen her stressfulness and wouldn't blame her. She was healing better physically then she was mentally and emotionally.
Stella sat on her bed and wrapped her arms around her friend. "I'm sorry Macy"
"Me too" Kevin, Nick and Joe repeated apologetically
She shook her head stubborn to not let any more tears out. "No, I'm sorry" she declared then turned to the boys with unshed tears and sighed, "I haven't been completely honest with you guys"
Stella knew what her friend was about to do and encouragingly and reassuringly held her hand while the boys looked curious and anxious.
"Well…" and then Macy began explaining the real reason between her and Randolph's break up. Throughout the story the boys' facial expressions moved from curious, confused, surprised, sad and angry
When she was done she immediately knew what the boys' were thinking when she looked at them. "Please guys, it's not your fault. He's just… an idiot."
The boys looked slightly unconvinced, but when they saw their friend's pleading face they let it slide.
"Macy!" a female voice cried
Before Macy could react her parents engulfed her in a hug.
"We were worried sick about you," said her mom
Her dad turned to the boys looking grateful. "Thank you boys so much"
"Anytime" said Nick
"No problem" said Joe
Macy smiled relieved. Finally she was about to live her life the way she should. Loving parents, perfect friends and no controlling, abusive boyfriend.
'Those days are gone' she thought
"Hey, Joe can I ask you something?' asked Macy
Her parents left talking with the doctors so that left her, Joe, Stella, Kevin and Nick in the white hospital room socializing until the hurt brunette asked that question.
Kevin, Nick and Stella smiled broadly knowing what was gonna happen and Joe looked clueless. "Sure"
Within a second the other brothers and friend went out of the door still taking a peek without being seen.
"What's up?" he asked taking a seat in the chair
"Why were you beating the hell out of Randolph?" Macy asked curiously
"I-" Joe started nervously then swallowed hard and continued "I care about you, differently than the others. When you first told me you and Randolph were going out I went livid. Sure, I was protective like my brothers, but I wanted to protect you because I didn't want you to get hurt" he paused then swallowed again "And because… I love you."
Macy was taken aback. Then when Joe thought he messed everything up she let out a smile. "I love you too."
His nervousness faded away in a millisecond and he grinned brightly. "Really?"
She nodded giggling at his enthusiasm and kissed him softly on the lips. He kissed her back adding more passion and felt her place her arms around his neck.
"Bang!" the newly formed couple broke apart to find Stella, Nick and Kevin smiling triumphantly
"Finally!" declared Kevin
"You two have perfect chemistry," remarked Stella enthusiastically
Joe and Macy looked awkward. "Thanks…."
"What's going on here?" asked a voice
Everyone gulped and turned to the door finding Macy's mom and dad looking confused.
"H-hi dad" said Macy nervously
"What happened?" asked her mom
"Well, uh…" Macy started then looked at her friends nervously
"Everything's fine" Nick stepped in
The others nodded smiling innocently.
Her dad was still suspicious. "Really?"
Macy sighed and ignored her friends' confused stares. "Mom, dad, Joe and I are together."
Silence, then… a happy and excited squeal
"I'm so happy for you!" gushed Mrs. Misa
Stella and Macy laughed happy and relieved joining the middle aged woman in a hug. Nick and Kevin smiled happily and her dad shook Joe's nervous hand.
"You're a good kid," he declared smiling
"Thanks" Joe said nervously
The girls were occupied talking and laughing with Elena and Felix struck up a conversation with the boys happily. The five friends as they talked looked at each other with smiles knowing and thinking one thing.
Friends forever, standing together strong and proud no matter what they come across in life.
