gaaaah, you guys make me laugh out loud. my horrible updating is horrible, isn't? well, this one is six days from the past post, so that's good. right? well, of course it is. well, anyways, on with the story.

My head slammed furiously into my soft pillow.

A loud screech muffled through my room, obviously, from me.

Everything just felt out of place. I was doing everything wrong.

Why didn't I just tell him I wanted to be there? I mean, for crying out loud. He found me out on his roof, and I didn't say anything about it. Instead, I acted like I was just wandering around the park, what a dork.

I felt so damned embarrassed right now. I shook my head and closed my eyes as tight as I could.

My rambling thoughts came to a halt when my phone sang a tune; signaling someone calling. Without lifting my head up, I searched my side table for my phone. Eventually, I found it.

With an irritated, annoyed, but slightly polite tone, I answered. "Yes?"

"Maycee?" The voice on the other line sounded a bit taken a back from my tone.

"Hm." I mumbled into the receiver.

The voice stalled, "Um, hey. It's Sasha."

"Oh!" My voice was more warming now, since I knew who was on the other line. Really, I didn't feel like talking. But, maybe talking would help shut up the voice in my head that kept reminding me of how much I must of embarrassed myself in front of Dougie.

"So .. You alright?" Her voice was still a little questionably.

I nodded to myself. "Yeah, great. What's up?"

"Some of us are going to a movie, would ya like to come?"

A smile sprouted itself on my face. "Yeah, sure!" I said enthusiastically.

"Great!" The warmness in her voice was now noticeable. "The movie is in about an hour, so I'll pick you up in 20 minutes?"

"Awesome, alright."

"Okay, see you then."

I said a quick good-bye and then hung up. For a bit, I just sat on my bed all curled up. So, maybe everything wasn't so down hill. I'm going to go out tonight and have a good time, movies always get you out of your head, right?

When Sasha picked me up I was dressed in a light denim mini-skirt, a black spaghetti strap tank top and some slip on Vans. I tried to dress up a tad, but stay casual.

"Well don't you look hot." Sasha mused as I climbed into her slick, black car. I blushed and looked at her with a smile.

"Likewise." I countered.

She smiled proudly, "Thanks."

After she pulled out into traffic I started to ask her questions about what was all happening tonight; what movie we were watching, who was going, and if we we're doing anything afterwards.

We we're watching a new horror movie, joy. The group was made up of mostly the lunch company with a few other people, and there was a small party that we'd be going to at some rich guy's house. The night sounded busy, which was exactly what I was hoping for.

Zach, Kane, Reyna, Josh and Jennifer were already waiting when we arrived to the theater. They were other people, but I didn't recognize any of them.

"Maycee." Zach said in a monotone when we reached to them.

I nodded back, "Zach."

Sasha laughed. "Alright then, are we going to just sit around here or go watch the movie?"

Reyna, the blonde, just snapped her phone shut before she answered, "We still have to wait for a few minutes, Kristen and Dougie are coming."

That one name made me freeze and cause my mouth to drop a few centimeters. "Huh?" I choked out.

No one really noticed me except for Sasha and Zach.

Sasha looked at me sympathetically and Zach narrowed his eyes. Sasha grabbed my elbow and pulled me off to the side.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." She whispered.

Zach came over and butted his way into our conversation. "What? Jealous Maycee?" He pondered mockingly.

I put on the best straight face as I could and shook my head. "No, I just .." I stuttered, "Didn't know, that's all."

Sasha continued to stare at me, "We could leave." She offered.

"No, no." I shook my head, "That's alright. Let's just have a fun time, alright?" She nodded at me, confused and I walked with her back to the group.

Ha, so much for trying to get the one problem out of my head. Tonight should be filled with more idiocy and humiliating moments, fantastic.

A few, throbbing, mintutes later Kristen arrived with the problem himself.

Well, actually, he wasn't the problem. Well, he kind of was to me. But, I'm the problem really. But, he's part of the problem, so I guess he can still be called the problem; half of it, at least. Oh … whatever.

The fakest happy smile made it's way on my lips. I acted like I didn't care, and stood as if I was bored.

"Hey guys!" Kristen squealed.

Uh, I hated her already. She was some bleach blonde. Her voice irritated me, it was incredibly high pitched.

Does anyone have duck tape and a bat, please?

"'Sup?" Dougie said lazily and calmly.

I tried to make my eyes look at anything but him. But there was that split second where I looked at him and he stared right back, I hated those.

Everyone started to make their way up to the ticket counter.

At this moment, I felt a little out of place.

Kane and Jennifer were paired together.

Sasha was with some guy that I didn't recognize, but he was attractive.

Kristen was with Dougie.

And that just left some other couples and then Zach and me, joy.

I stood in the back of the line with my hands curled around me.

Whistling sounded from behind me. Curiously, I turned my head over my shoulder and saw that the musician was Zach.

"What, couldn't get a date?" I said amusingly.

His whistling stopped abruptly and he glared at me. "I don't see your date." He stated with humor.

"Who needs dates? They just hold you down." I turned my head forward again.

Since we were standing outside, I began to shiver.

I was trying to make heat by rubbing my arms with my palms. It made my arms warm, but the rest of me was still freezing my ass off.

Footsteps came beside me. "Cold?" Zach said mockingly. Nothing that ever came out of his mouth was nor smart or serious.

"No." The sarcasm was bold in my tone. "I'm just groping myself for no apparent reason."

He chuckled half-heartedly. "Funny."

My vision was cut when a coat was thrown on top of my head. I ripped the piece of clothing off the op of my head and glared at Zach. "What's your problem?" An irritated growl escaped my lips.

He shrugged easily, "You said you were cold."

I looked at the jacket confusingly and then gave him the same look. "Did you put itching powder in it or something?"

"Just wear the damn thing." His voice sounded aggravated.

"Nah." I mused, and then threw it back to him. "I'll just freeze."

I looked at him with a smirk and he glared. "You're the one with the problem."

"No problem here." I crossed my arms against my chest. "You're a douche to me constantly. So I think you're the one with the problem."

"I just offered you a jacket. How is that being a douche?" He pressed.

I rolled my eyes, "I don't know, but I still feel offended."

My body continued to shake from the temperature. When is this freaking line going to move?

"Look," Zach interrupted my little tamper in my head, "I know I'm a douche to you but, it's just my natural ways." I looked at him while he shrugged his shoulders. "Inside, I know you're dying from jealousy." My eye brows cocked at that one.

"What are you talki-" I started to retort until he interrupted me.

He held up his jacket. "Save yourself from freezing."

I shot glances between Zach and his warming jacket. This felt too weird, but I just said, "What the hell?" and took the jacket.

"Thanks." It took a lot to say that to him. When I did he just nodded and smiled satisfied.

Currently, blood was splashing from a headless body. Zombies, you gotta love 'em.

A death scream came from the girl that just witnessed her boyfriend be beheaded. The zombie looked up at the girl and smiled freakishly.

Like an idiot, she just stood there and continued to scream.

Oh my god. I thought.

"This is pathetic." I chuckled out quietly.

"That's a horror movie for you." Zach whispered, answering my assessment.

Right after he did two people sitting in front of us turned around and told us to shut up.

I felt a little offended, so I made a face at them when they turned forward.

Zach laughed from my immature act.

When my eyes stared back at the screen the girl started to speak dramatically of just sacrificing herself to the zombies since her 'one and only true love' was ripped apart.

"For the love of god!" I shouted, aggravated. The same two people turned their heads but I caught them before they could speak. "Whatever, yeah, I'll shut up. You can turn back around." They glared before turning slowly back around.

Instead of watching the idiot sacrifice herself, I scanned my eyes around the room.

One couple was fully groping each other with their lips. I made a disgusted face at their inappropriate PDA. A little girl had her hands covering her eyes, poor kid. Everyone else was just watching the movie idly.

My eyes froze at the sight of Kristen and Dougie.

She had her head leaning on his shoulder, and he had this arm draped around her shoulder.

I felt my stomach drop, and everything kind of just disappeared from around me. The slight feeling of hurt and jealously shot threw out my body. My skin turned cold and my face fell.

At this point, I knew I had feelings for Dougie. No matter how much I didn't want to. I wanted him, I wanted to be in Kristen's position, and I wanted to eat Kristen's face off.

But, despite my sudden realization, I couldn't have Dougie no matter what.

He obviously already moved on, he was with Kristen now.

She likes him, and I'm guessing he liked her. That's what happens when two people know their feelings towards each other, they get together. He was done with me, and I guess I was just … done.

Slowly, I crept down further into my seat. Tears began to wall up in my eyes. So I furiously wiped them away. I closed my eyes tight; trying to prevent any intense waterfalls that I felt coming. It kind of worked.

On the side, I saw Zach look down at me. But I just ignored him completely. I ignored everything, because nothing mattered.

xxxxxxx

Right when the credits began scrolling onto the screen I rushed out of the theater before everyone. I scurried into the bathroom and wiped my face with a paper towel then fixed my makeup. No attention was needed towards my previous waterworks.

When I came out the whole group was huddled together, chatting about the movie. I moved up besides Sasha and she smiled at my presence.

"Did you like the movie?"

I made a face, "Not really. It was really pathetic."

Zach laughed, "She complained about it during the movie and the people in front of us about took off her head for making a sound."

"Really?" Sasha asked amusingly.

"Yeah," I shrugged. "But it wasn't my fault that it was absolute crap."

"I thought that one part with Suzie and Gaven was really romantic. The way he saved her life, and then she gave hers because he died." This comment came from Kristen, and after she said it she snuggled onto Dougie's arm.

I grunted and people looked at me. "Usually when someone gives their life to save your life you don't go and kill yourself. It kinda takes away the whole point of their self-sacrifice."

She glared at me. "She did it because she couldn't live life without him."

"Or maybe she did it because she refused to." I crossed my arms, "There are always two lids for one jar."

Her confused expression told me that she didn't know what I meant. I shook my head and answered her expression, "It means that there is always two people made for one. You could always go for the first one, but there always is that second one. She could've moved on, it's possible."

"Well, her heart was for him." Dougie argued. I looked at him and he stared back. "Not like you'd know anything about that. You don't have feelings, or a heart for that matter."

Ouch, his hit was below the belt. I narrowed my eyes at him and he just stared back.

"Right," I started sarcastically, with my arms crossed, "You'd know that because you have me all figured out. You know absolutely everything about me."

He shrugged, "I know enough." No emotion showed on his face, and that made me even angrier.

I laughed, "The hell you do."

Before anything else could be said Zach pushed me back. "Just chill Maycee." He said calmly.

Instead of saying anything I just stood where he placed me. Everyone started to talk again, and some gave me a glance. Dougie stared at me once or twice and then went back to groping Kristen. I felt my face go red and I began stalking away.

A warm hand grasped my wrist and pulled me around. Surprisingly, it was Zach.

"Can you just let me go, please?" I said as nicely as I could, while the water works where beginning.

He sighed, "Just stay, alright?"

I choked out a laugh, "Why? No one cares if I leave."

"Dougie does."

My eyes rolled. "Yeah, cause it sure seems like it." I mused sarcastically. I tried to tear away from his grip but he just squeezed tighter. "Ow!"

Zach stared at me, "Just stay."

"Why?" I urged, irritably.

His eyes searched my face and then he did something very unexpectedly, he kissed me.

I was more shocked then anything, so at first; I just stood there while his lips caressed mine. When he felt that I wasn't giving anything back he grabbed my face between his hands and kissed me harder. My natural instinct would to pull away and slap the crap out of him. But, I don't listen to any instinct. If I did, I probably wouldn't find myself in the crap that I'm in right now. So, I started to kiss him back. I ran my fingers through his silky black hair and pulled him closer to me. His hands moved down behind my waist and caressed me closer.

All my anger, all my hurt, all my emotions were pouring into this kiss. I didn't care about anything, I didn't care about who saw, I didn't care that nothing of this made sense, I just didn't care. His lips were hard and warm against mine, and his body held me together. This felt, comforting. It was like my therapy session, a very intimate therapy session. And I loved it.

Chills ran up my spine as his fingers trailed along my back. My arms wrapped around his neck and he pulled me tighter.

His tongue ran over my bottom lip and I shivered.

"Maycee!" I heard Sasha scream in amusement. At that second we both pulled away and I turned to look at Sasha. Her eyes, as well as everyone else's, were on us. Their faces puzzled.

I quickly unlatched myself from Zach and stepped away from him. When he turned around to face our crowd he ran his hand up from the back of his head.

Sasha scurried up to me and grinned sheepishly. "What was that?" She whispered.

My head shook confusingly, "I have absolutely no idea." That was the sure truth.

What I just discovered was that I made out with a stranger, almost. I haven't known Zach that long, and it wasn't like we were 'buddies.' But, he was hot, so who cares? I sure didn't, and that was all that matters.

The only opinion I cared about was, unquestionably, Dougie's. When I looked at him he stared back at me. His eyes were unreadable, and he just stood tight with his arms tight against his sides and his hands in his pockets.

To ease the tension I decided to say something, "Hey, what about that party?" I shouted, with a pleasant smile on my face.

What an interesting party it would be.
