Chapter 6

When I woke up, I realized that it was morning and I had slept at the Jonas household. Joe and I were still in the same position that we had fallen asleep in yesterday. I looked at the clock; it was 9:00 a.m. I then realized that the last time I had talked to Chris was yesterday when we got back from the hospital. I lightly kissed Joe on the lips to wake him up and he stirred, then opened his eyes.

"Morning boyfriend." I said, happy that Joe and I were finally together.

"Good morning girlfriend." He replied.

"I should really call Chris. He is probably worried about me since I haven't spoke to him since yesterday afternoon."

"Yeah that's a good idea. I'm gonna go talk to my mom real quick." We both got up and out of bed. Joe left the room and I went to brush my teeth and call Chris. He was probably at work since he isn't allowed to take any more days off than he already has so I called him on his work phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Chris, its me, Mackenzie." I said.

"Hey, where were you all night? I was worried, I had no idea where you were." Chris said.

"I'm sorry I worried you. I stayed at Joe's." He was quiet on the other end so I spoke again,

"Don't worry, nothing happened. Joe isn't that kind of guy. Plus he is my best friend. He was just comforting me."

"Okay, I just want you to be safe. What are you doing today.? Because I'm trying to set up some plans for the funeral and stuff."

"Alright, I'll probably just stay with Joe."

"Okay. I have to go. Talk to you later. Bye."

"Bye." I hung up the phone and went into the bathroom to recover my stitches. It wasn't that easy to put the medication on myself so when Joe came back up, I asked him to help. He put the medication that the doctor gave me on the stitches and wrapped the gauze around me. I then took my pill and we went downstairs to have breakfast. As soon as I got downstairs I saw Denise in the kitchen and she immediately came over to me and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry, hunny!"

"Thanks." I said.

"If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask. I'm here for you 24/7." She said.

"Thanks, I really appreciate it." Joe and I sat down at the kitchen table and ate some chocolate chip pancakes.

"These are really good. Thanks for making us breakfast, Denise!" I said.

"Oh thank you! And no problem. Any time." She replied.

After we finished breakfast, we sat down to watch some TV but decided not to when my sister's death was all over the news. Because I was the Jonas Brothers best friend, the paparazzi knew everything and anything about me also. We went back upstairs and I figured I should go home for a little since Chris probably saw what was going on on TV.

"Joe, I think I'm gonna go home and shower and stuff and make sure Chris is okay. I'll be back later."

"Yeah, I think that's good idea. You smell." He said waving his hand in front of his nose.

"Do I really?" I asked, smelling my shirt.

"No, I was kidding!" He replied, laughing.

"Oh okay, good." I grabbed my keys from his dresser and he walked me downstairs and outside to my car.

"Alright, I guess I'll see you later." He said, and kissed me. It lingered for a couple seconds. And then I pulled away.

"Yupp." I kissed him one last time and then got in my car and left.
