Disclaimed!

Massie laid out on a chair as she basked in the sunlight. She found lying outside her pool and tanning to be a great way to relax. As she did this she heard a figure approaching, but she was too relaxed to open her eyes. It was probably only just Aiden or something. She ignored it as she heard whoever it is get closer until they blocked her sunlight. Massie rolled her eyes from underneath her sunglasses and looked out from underneath them to see a smiling Derrick. Massie immediately got up from her seat and smiled. "Derrick! What are you doing here?"

Derrick sat on the seat next to her and shrugged, "I don't know, I had a good time last night, and I kind of wanted to see ya."

Massie's smile grew bigger," I had a good time too. Want to tan with me?"

"Not really." Derrick laughed,

"Please?" Massie pleaded, "I just have my back left?"

Derrick rolled his eyes playfully, "Fine."

Massie handed him the bottle of her sun tan lotion. Derrick looked back at her confused.

"What do you want me to do with this?" Derrick asked.

Massie laughed, "I can't get my entire back, help?" She asked as she flipped over onto her back giggling.

Derrick laughed too, "Yeah, I'll help." He squeezed the lotion onto her back and rubbed, his smile disappeared when he noticed the scar again. He touched it lightly with a finger and he could feel Massie's entire body shiver. "What happened?" he asked.

After a long pause Massie finally said, "It was a dumb thing when I was younger and I had to get stitches. I don't know." She said trailing off.

Derrick continued rubbing, "What's the dumb thing?"

"I don't really want to talk about it…" Massie trailed off.

"Oh." Derrick said sounding a bit disappointed; he decided to just drop the subject. "Alright then, am I doing a good job?"

Massie's mood immediately changed as she let out a giggle, "You're doing great."

Derrick smiled as he rubbed Massie's back, "This is turning into a massage."

Massie let out a long sigh, "I don't mind."

Derrick chuckled, "Maybe you can give me one next?"

"We'll see." Massie said closing her eyes.

Derrick continued to massage Massie's back as she laid there breathing gently. He would occasionally rub towards her scar on the middle of her back and when he did Massie would stiffen slightly.

Derrick traced it with his finger wondering what it could've been; whatever it was probably wasn't that bad, right? Derrick ignored the goose bumps forming from Derrick touching her scar and asked, "Did an animal scratch you?"

Massie blinked bewildered at his sudden question, "No…"she trailed off.

"Did you fall out of a tree?"

Massie sat up straight facing Derrick, but not looking him in the eyes. She was starting to feel really self conscious as Derrick's questions didn't cease. "No."

"Did someone like stab you or something?" Derrick asked again.

Massie froze as she slowly looked Derrick in the eyes to see his playful expression. She didn't find this funny. It wasn't funny at all. "I-I can't…" Massie said trailing off softly before running towards her house.

Derrick stopped confused and ran after her, "Mass, wait up!"

Adam and Spencer were sitting in the kitchen when they heard the back door slam and saw Massie sprinting towards the stairs with tears rolling down her face.

"Massie?" Adam asked yelling as she ran. "Mass, what happened?"

Massie didn't stop running until she reached her room and slammed it. Adam and Spencer just looked at each other when Derrick walked in looking confused.

Spencer stared at him accusingly, "What did you do to her?" He shouted.

"I-I don't know man, I was just asking her stuff and she ran away." He trailed off.

"What were you asking her?" Adam asked.

"About her scar." Derrick said quietly.

"Fuck." Spencer said as he began to think of what to say.

Adam tried to remain calm as his face drained of color, "Wh-what did she say?"

"She wouldn't tell me. What's going on guys?" Derrick asked confused.

Adam started to get up and sighed, "I'll go talk to her."

Spencer put a hand on him to stop him, "I'll talk to her, and you talk to Derrick."

"You want me to tell him?" Adam asked as dread spread over his face.

Spencer shrugged, "Yeah I mean, it's Derrick, he's not going to tell anyone. Besides, he was probably going to find out sooner or later."

Spencer and Adam stared at each other for a while after that like they were saying things without even speaking. Adam sighed, "Fine."

Spencer jogged up to Massie's room and slowed his jogged as he approached her door. He knocked gently on the door and said, "Mass, it's me, Spence. Can I come in?"

Spencer heard Massie let out a sniffle and croak out, "Yeah."

He walked into her room and immediately walked over to her bed where she laid curled up in a ball, tears streaming down her face. He sat down next to her and wiped the tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Mass, why are you crying?"

"I-I'm scared." She said sniffling.

Spencer lay down next to her so he could see her face, "What do you have to be scared of?"

Massie was quiet for a couple of seconds before saying, "What if he doesn't like me anymore?"

"Then he's an idiot." Spencer said as if it was obvious.

Massie finally looked him in the eyes to see if that was his serious answer. Spencer felt terrible as he looked back into her red puffy eyes. "I'm sure that's not going to happen, he's crazy about you." Spencer said reassuringly.

Massie sighed, "Do you think he'd tell anyone?"

Spencer shook his head, "Nah, he doesn't seem like the type and if he does I'll beat the shit out of him."

Massie looked at a brother and blinked a few times getting mental images in her mind. Spencer thought she was going to burst into another round of tears when she let out a small giggle.

"Promise?" She said in a small voice.

"Promise." Spencer smiled at her and held up his pinky.

Massie let out another giggle and took it.

Adam paced back and forth through the kitchen as Derrick sat on a stool confused, "Dude, what's going on?"

Adam stopped, looked at him, and then continued pacing. "It's all my fault."

"What is?" Derrick asked wanting to go find Massie, he felt terrible about making her cry.

Derrick was thinking about how bad he felt he hardly heard Adam say, "She was raped."

Derrick looked up abruptly. "What?"

Adam sighed, "I was 11, and she was 6. It was right when our mom had finally let us go to the park without her." Adam said taking slow breaths. "Me, Aiden, and Spencer wanted to see how high we could get on the swings and I hardly noticed Massie say she was going on the slide."

Adam gulped. "Half an hour. It took me half of a fucking hour to notice Massie wasn't there. We looked all over the fucking place, but she wasn't there we asked everyone if they seen her and no one did. I had to go home and tell my own mom that I had lost my only sister." Adam's voice was getting shaky and he started to cry. "I thought she was going to kill me right then and there, but she just cried and screamed and I didn't know what to do. Our dad called the cops, and they hadn't seen anything."

Adam took a shaky breath, "Three days later the damned bastard who grabbed her from the park, took her away in his car, and fucking beat and raped my sister, dropped her off at the park like it was nothing. Massie must've been so confused." He shook his head. "She asked a lady to help her, and the cops came and picked her up and brought her to us."

Adam looked at Derrick, "I didn't even recognize her when I saw her. She was scraped and bruised. She wasn't smiling and that's when I knew something terrible had happened. She wouldn't talk to anyone. She would just cry or stare off into space. It was fucking hell. A few days later she finally started talking, but it didn't go away. Every night of that night she would wake up screaming and crying about how no one saved her from the bad man. I felt like shit." Adam said sounding deflated.

"If I had just paid attention to her none of this would've happened. I put Massie through fucking torture and she doesn't even hate me." Adam said trailing off and then looking at Derrick. "So, that's what that fucking scar is, a constant reminder of what I did to her." Adam shook his head slowly looking out the window.

Derrick just sat there. What he just heard shocked him. He couldn't picture anyone wanting to hurt Massie and you wouldn't even be able to tell that behind her bubbly exterior was a terrible story that probably didn't just scar her outside, but her inside too. Derrick finally said something, "I hope that bastards rotting in hell."

Adam smirked, "He's in the county prison for 15 more years. If I ever get the pleasure to meet this son of a bitch he's getting the crap beat out of him."

Derrick shook his head still startled by all of this, "I should go talk to her."

Adam just nodded as he wandered off into the living room trying to stop thinking about the thing that made him feel most guilty.

Spencer was just getting out of Massie's room as Derrick reached the top of the stairs. "Is she okay?" Derrick asked.

Spencer grinned and nodded, "Yeah, she's fine. Just go talk to her." He said before disappearing downstairs.

Derrick knocked twice on Massie's door and opened it, "Can I come in?" He looked at Massie as she lay underneath her sheets on her bed, she looked so small, but so pretty.

Massie giggled at Derrick's nervous look on his face, "I guess so." She said sitting up on her bed.

Derrick chuckled, "You guess so?" He asked as he got into her bed.

Massie tried to nonchalantly scoot closer to him as she nodded her head.

Derrick wrapped an arm around her, "I'm sorry."

Massie looked at him confused, "For what?"

"I shouldn't have pressured you with all of those questions." Derrick said tucking loose strands of hair behind her ear.

Massie sighed, "I should've just told you about it anyways."

Derrick shook his head, "Nah, I get why you didn't. It's not something you just tell someone."

Massie nodded, "Can we stop talking about this?"

Derrick smiled at her, "Yes." He said before kissing the top of her forehead which made her giggle. He continued kissing her along her jaw line before reaching her lips. They kissed when Massie pulled back suddenly.

"Hey Derrick?" She asked

"Yeah?"

"I like you." Massie said looking at her lap.

Derrick smiled lifted her chin and kissed her, "I like you too."

Massie smiled and leaned in to kiss him again. They started out slowly, but Massie climbed onto Derrick's lap as they made out. Massie smiled during their kisses, but pulled away as she heard someone open her door.

Derrick kissed Massie's side of her mouth when she noticed she stopped. They both turned towards the door to see Spencer standing awkwardly in the door way.

"Uh, mom called, she wants to go to dinner tonight. Derrick can come too." Spencer said as he fidgeted with his fingers not wanting to look at either one of them.

Massie giggled softly, "Kay!"

Spencer turned around quickly and couldn't close the door faster. Massie looked at Derrick who was looking at her and they both burst out into laughter. All of the tension and awkwardness of before had disappeared just like that.
