You're back for chapter five. Wonderful. This chapter will be in Paul's point of view. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCS (Mackenzie and Amelia) and my ideas...no matter how much I wish I had Justin Gabriel.
PS: I'll be calling Kelly and Tiffany by their real names, Barbie and Taryn.

Love Sick

"Mackenzie, are you sure your sister doesn't mind me staying with you guys?"

"If she did, she would have said something."

"We just met, though. You're awfully trusting." Mackenzie glanced over at me while she was stopped at a red light.

"Paul, you've given me no reason not to trust you." I couldn't say anything because she was right. She had offered for me to go home with her last night, I hadn't forced her. I stayed because I thought that there was something worth staying for; I didn't leave just because I wanted to get some tail. Mackenzie just smiled and continued driving once the light turned green. We made our way towards the hotel and while Mackenzie parked, I headed inside to grab my stuff from my room. Surprisingly, Matt wasn't in the room but I just shrugged it off and gathered all of my things into my bag. I double checked to see if I had everything and headed back to the lobby, where I saw Mackenzie waiting for while texting on her phone. I couldn't keep the smile off my face but it disappeared when Matt appeared in front of me.

"What the hell, Paul? I thought we had a workout session today. Now I see you're ditching me for some chick?" Mackenzie popped her head up at the commotion and I honestly didn't want to make a scene in front of her.

"We have some time before NXT, Matt. Relax, we can do it next time." I went to walk to Mackenzie but Matt grabbed my arm.

"You ditch me again and there won't be a next time." I yanked my arm out of his grip and walked towards Mackenzie, motioning her to follow me and she did. She led me to her car that was idling outside and we headed back to her house once we both got in.

"Is everything okay, Paul?"

"Matt seems to be mad at me for 'ditching' our workout session."

"I didn't mean-"

"We didn't have a workout session today. He would've been hammered from last night; he's just looking for a reason to get under my skin." I took a deep breath and turned my attention to the quickly passing landscape. "I don't get why he's changed so much since I first met him."

"People tend to sneak that on you. I've been through it enough times so I would know."

"They shouldn't have to if they are your friends." Mackenzie just shrugged as she pulled into her driveway. She put the car in park, shut it off and we both headed inside. Barbie was no longer sitting at the counter but I could hear the water running so I knew she was still in the house.

"There is a room down the hall on the right you can use."

"I was hoping I could stay in your room with you." I heard something hit the floor so I looked up to see Mackenzie peering around the wall with a shocked look on her face. "That would be, if it was alright with you. If not, I'll take the room down the hall."

"I don't mind it. I just wasn't expecting you to say that."

"Bad experience?" Mackenzie nodded. "I've been through a few of those myself. Don't worry, I won't do anything without your permission." I saw Mackenzie smile and it made me smile.

"Just stick your stuff in my room, then." I nodded and took off down the hallway with my bag in tow. As I was setting up my bag along the far wall, I took in my surroundings of Mackenzie's room. Her name was all over the room and one wall had a huge mirror on it that was covered in pictures of her and her friends.

"That's about five years of pictures right there." I turned around quickly and saw Barbie standing in the doorway with a smile on her face. "Mackenzie is definitely one of the friendliest girls you will ever meet, Paul. Not only that, she will take your picture any opportunity she gets so I suggest preparing yourself." I just smiled and nodded. "Although, not a lot of men seem to get on this wall. If you get up here, consider yourself both lucky and special."

"I'll remember that."

-FIN-

That's it for this chapter. Sorry about the wait and the length. Hope you enjoyed it.
