Massie was sitting in her room..she had been sitting in her room for the last 2 days, but it wasnt because she was broken.
She was sorta over it. Well not over it, but she wasnt crying..she just for one second didnt want her every move analysed by BOCD girl, by the public. She had dumped Cam.
She looked at his Facebook profile..she couldnt help it..she hated the fact that the "in a relationship" status had gone. She hated the fact that he had "liked" Claires status the other day.
She hated the fact that they had acted like everything was normal, and she had put herself under house arrest.
It was pathetic, she had searched BOCD girl, they had both been out shopping, clubbing..not together, thank god.
She hated the fact she was sitting here like a stalker pretending she wasnt stuck..she needed to do something..now.
The blast had been sent out as planned
So followers, it seems MB is making the most of her new status and throwing a night of paradise..thats right, shes taken all her inner circle on a limo ride into one of the most exclusive clubs in the city, and 2 Cs are missing from the list...xoxo.
Claire walked around school. Her mum had told her not to leave. Her brother told her she was a selfish idiot. Her dad gave her the most disapproving look ever, but she wasnt loosing this battle.
She hated walking around, everyone looking at her, pointing at her, reading off their phones, some even sad enough to take pictures so BOCD girl could start sending them out, adding different captions, trying to explain her mood but failing, they didnt know how she felt. She also knew that she needed to talk to Massie before it was too late.
She walked into the art room..it was lunchtime, everyone was probably round seeing if there was going to be a showdown of some sort between Cam and Derrick
"Oh, someone else is hanging here..nice" said the voice of a boy..he was painting on a easel,
"Needed to escape" mused Claire, sitting on a stool
"Your name?" he guy asked
"Dont you already know?" Claire laughed, cynically
"I do, but thought I might aswell be kind" said with guy, with a kind smile
"Claire Lyons, you?" she said, sarcastically
"Dune Baxter, sweet to meet" he said, and Claire laughed
"you here every lunch?" she asked
"always" he replied
"but why" she asked, swinging her legs around to face him
"I like painting..plus I also dont possess the a-list social life of you" he retorted
"what about c-list" she giggled
"not even z-list..so whys the art room become your lunch time club?" Dune asked
"well..lets think..no friends, the guy I like is out of bounds, and ive got BOCD girl after my every move..its safer to be out of sight" she said, thinking for a second
"Stop thinking..women think too much" Dune said, setting up a paper on a easel
"ive heard you paint..so listen to the music, and paint" Dune said to Claire, handing her a brush
"who told you I paint?" she asked, taking the brush, interested
"mrs ritz, she was a bit gutted when you left, one of her biggest potential builders! what do you paint?"
"I like landscapes" Claire replied, wistfully
"and whys that?" Dune asked
"I like looking into something that seems right..that seems normal..something so far away from this world" Claire said, as if she was in a dream
"thats deep..who knew you would be deep" Dune said
"everybody judges me on what they think they know" Claire moaned
"well to be fair you've got quite the story" Dune pointed out
"True, but why do people act like they know me?" asked Claire, who was now painting
"Your like the reason BOCD girl still runs..do you think they care about Massies perfect life..no they care about the rebel Claire; thats you!" Dune said, with a sound of fake excitement at the end
"What makes me think you dont approve of the life I lead painter-boy?" Claire asked, looking over to him for a second
"Because its all fabricated..all this popularity stuff..your the same as everyone else..you've demonstrated that" Dune replied
The bell rang
She looked into his brown eyes "see you this time tomorrow?" she asked
"im always here Claire; drop by whenever you like" he said, with a smile
"Massie, ive explained in a message and i'll explain now, I cant come!" Josh said, knowing that being tailed by Massie only meant one thing; some sort of argument
"Why?" She asked..Josh was a important link..she had lined him up as her next suitor..ok Leesh liked him but she was too into getting under the sheets with , so it doesnt matter.
"Ive got family round" Josh said, defensively
"you always have family round, ditch them you have a life!" Massie ranted
"Mass, face it you just want me there so you can try and make me your new Cam, the answers no, and my family are very important to me" Josh said, and turned on his heel
"Thats all very well Josh but where are you going now?" Massie asked, trying to act like the burning sensation of rejection wasnt hurting her
"Home Massie" Josh said, harshly
"We arent allowed home in our free periods" Massie said, cold as ice
"did this stop you when you tried to have sex with Cam?" Josh asked
"Josh whats got into you lately, your meant to be the nice one" Massie asked, shocked
"Well maybe im sick of being everyones cute little doormat" Josh snapped
Massie watched him go..but she didn't have time to think about Josh..Kemp or Chris? She didn't appreciate either but she needed a guy..she had spent all her life being defined by Cam, she couldnt be alone.
"Oh Massie, shopping for male lovers are we? You couldnt get any more predictable if you tried" said a voice..Massie didnt need to turn around to see the owner
"Derrick, why dont you go use some more of daddys money and go buy a girlfriend" Massie snarled
"Oh what a low blow, im on the verge of crying" Derrick laughed
"Well go take that ugly prospect somewhere else please" Massie replied
"Oh sorry I forgot this corridor belonged to you" snapped Derrick
"Do I need to get a restraining order to get your disgusting form removed from my presence?" Massie asked
"Now Massie, thats a bit dramatic. Then you are known for being overly dramatic" retorted Derrick
"Im not dramatic" Massie replied
"And I just saw a group of pigs flying over there" scoffed Derrick
"Beat it Harrington" Massie said, fiercely
"Give it up Massie..your weak" Derrick said, with a laugh, and started to move away
Josh shut the door of his flat quietly
"Josh?" someone shouted, he crossed the small hallway and went into the kitchen, and switched the light on
"Dad your meant to be in bed!" Josh exclaimed, with a worried expression
"I was waiting for you to get home" Joshes dad said simply
"Dad, I put you to bed, how did you even get back in the chair?" Josh questioned him
"Josh, you left it next to the bed like the doctor does incase I need the toliet..I could be out the house" his dad said
"Sorry for being late" Josh said, looking glum
"Dont be sorry, you need some time off...I get it...you've had weeks off school caring for me, you need a couple of hours, trust me Josh I get it"
"But Im being selfish dad"
"I was thinking kiddo, maybe some extra help would be good around here" Josh's dad said, with a smile
"I wont hear of it, im your son, im looking after you"
"Your destroying your life..and what about that nice girl, Alicia..the one you keep talking about?"
"Its not about me its you..I can meet other girls but Dad you've got a condition, I need to help you"
"Josh"
"Dad, Im gonna get you into bed now, and bring you a cup of your favourite tea, with some medication, ok?" Josh asked
"Son...I don't need the tea" Josh's dad said
"Yes you do dad, stop thinking of me" Josh said
"Josh, we need some extra help around here...I had a meeting with the doctor"
"And?" Josh asked quickly, taking a seat and staring into his fathers weary eyes
"Josh, its getting worse..my multiple sclerosis is getting worse, Im going to be ill, im going to deteriate Josh..they said im gonna not be able to transport myself anywhere in a couple of months..you arent ready for that type of are and I do not expect you to be for one minute" his father said, looking teary eyed
"Dad, you've given me this life, Mums not around but you always have been..I owe you this..and even if it gets worse, I'll step it up..promise me, no extra help" Josh replied, leaning forwards and putting a hand on his fathers.
His dad gripped his hand
"Fine son, but say the word when it gets tough, and i'll call"
"Im not watching you be carted off to the hospital because they think they can care for you better then me..I know you dad, I know what makes you feel better, I have a chart of all your medication times..nobodys gonna mess that up..we have a rountine" Josh said, frustrated
"Josh you need to focus on school, girls, like a normal teenage lad"
"I don't care about girls, and im keeping up with school, Derricks emailing me everything I miss" Josh insisted
"You havent told Derrick have you?" was the reply..it was worried
"Of course not.. he just thinks I love days off and staying in on the new Call Of Duty game..its fitting" Josh stated..and took his dads wheelchair and started pushing him towards his room..this was his life..this was his secret..and he was intending on keeping it as long as he could, because this was his flesh and blood, and Josh owed his father his life.
"so word on the street is that has a huge secret, female C has a new confidant, and Ms trying to move on with her life..something makes me wonder about the prospect of M and D..such a underrated couple..everybody thinks they loathe eachother..personally I just think its sexual tension..and wheres male C lurking..rumour has it hes gone to London for a modelling job that his father set him up on to keep him out the city for a while..the Fishers insist they aren't running away but modelling? since when has Cam even paid attention to magazines..sounds like a get out plan to us..or maybe D has something to do with it, because its not like he's done his "friend" many favours lately, apart from being a active pest to his ex, who seems to be trying to change her relationship status.
Will Cs new friend "DUNE" ever make it on the chart..not at the moment because we already have a male D, so we'll go for "lonely-art-boy"...hes bound to end up in some sort of trouble with female C..everything she touches is some sort of trouble!
Ciao followers, until next time XOXO BOCD GIRL
