Hello! please R&R! Enjoy!

"Edward, He is just melodramatic like you were. Remember that girl, what was her name, Jessica? Yea that's it! You were so in love with her and you drove us all crazy."

My mother was overstating it all a bit. When Jessica Broke up with me I was very upset that is true but I wasn't as bad as my son has become.

"Ma, I think you are the one being dramatic here." I laughed. She just shook her head.

"No, I am not! You came home for almost a month and had to beg your professors not to fail you. Carlisle?" She yelled for my dad, I guess to corroborate her story. My loving wife and sister- in-laws laughed at me.

Sunday brunch (lunch; depending on what time we all showed up) never stopped, it is just that now I have to force the kids to come. Damn driver's licenses and free will!

Rose and Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Janice (Guess who came up with that name), and Jasper Jr. All come over as well. It makes my mother so happy and my father happy to see her happy.

Janice was 10 years old and Jasper Jr. was 8, they are both splitting images of their father and Aunt Rose. Janice's hair was almost to her butt but she refuses to get it cut. She is going to a be a hand full. Jasper Jr. has been nicknamed JJ because not only did he look like his dad, he acted like him as well, quite wisdom. It drove the other kids crazy.

Emmett, Jasper, Masen, JJ and Anthony were out back throwing around a football. Carlie, Janice and Renee were walking around the edge of the property line picking wild flowers.

I was happy to see Masen being active. He'd been basically comatose since the shit hit the fan a couple months ago. But like the father before him, he'll bounce back.

Earlier this week he'd been suspended for a couple days because of a fight between himself, MaKenna and Zafrina. We didn't "punish" him per-say because I could see it in my son's eyes that he was teetering on the edge of sanity. Also, He didn't really lose any privileges at school just a couple at days at home. He has always been a good kid and hasn't gotten into any trouble since he started high school. The Principal knew he was just having a hard go right now.

I was openly appreciative that he was going to let him walk for graduation. The students knew that if they gotten into any trouble this close to graduation they weren't going to be able to walk. He would've gotten shit if he couldn't. You do not take that moment from your parents.

I think something happened to him on that day that was a breaking point for him. He has shown glimpses of his former self! I am hoping it sticks.

"Yes, Dear." I rolled my eyes at my Dad as he walked into the kitchen.

"Remember when that girl broke up with Edward? He was a mess."

"Yes, Dear, he was." He was such a fucker! I shook my head and laughed to myself. He would tell her whatever she wanted to hear.

"See, I told you." She said looking at Bella who was still chuckling.

"No, You'll just tell her whatever she wants to hear, like a puppet."

"No, he wouldn't! Would you Carlise?" She laughed mocking me.

"Never Dear!" He laughed at me as well. Then as he walked by me back out to the yard he muttered "Happy wife happy life."

I shook my head at his hopelessness.

"So when would you say he was back to normal?" She asked looking out of the patio door at the boys. I knew what she was asking, when was I back to being 100 percent, so she could know when to expect Masen to be back to 100 percent him.

"Umm" she thought out loud to herself "Maybe about 13 years ago…" she stated as she looked Bella in the eyes. Well that sucks, I guess.

The day of the fight was chaos, my head was everywhere.

Imagine my surprise to see MaKenna pinning Zafrina against the lockers outside the cafeteria.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Mr. Thompson and I ran to break up the melee. It was wild to say the least. I think we made it worse while pulling them apart, in the struggle MaKenna got ahold of Zafrina's shirt and almost ripped it off her body.

"Stay off my fucking floor or I will fuck you up bitch! Everytime I see you near our floor I will fuck you up!" The words were so strange coming from MaKenna.

She had a point though, why was Zafrina on the senior floor? I knew her whole schedule because I avoided her like the plaque.

"AHH! Let me go! Let me fucking go! Get the fuck off of me!" Zafrina struggled in Mr. Thompson's arms. I was unsure where she was trying to go but it wasn't toward McKenna. I think she was trying to get away.

Zafrina's right breast was almost completely exposed and once Mr. Thompson noticed, he immediately let her go. When he did, she went after MaKenna both fist flying.

I stepped in front of MaKenna to block her from the punches. Being the catalyst of this whole ordeal, Zafrina, went off on me.

"I fucking hate you! Bitch, you're a coward! Don't hide now!" She screamed between punches and slaps. I protected my face with my arms as she hit me. The resource officer came and pulled her away, unafraid of her exposure.

He carried her down the hall and into the counselor's office. Mr. Thompson made me and MaKenna go to the principal's office.

Mrs. Cope was sitting at her desk when we walked in. She directed us to the closest seats to the principal's office.

We were sitting on the benches like bad little kids. Every so often, she would scowl at the ground. I was preoccupied by the throbbing on my forearms, being that Zafrina hit harder then she should for a small teenage girl.

I was rubbing my arms when my courage let me speak. "I am so sorry that you've went through all this. I don't know why she was up here, especially during our lunch period. I will find out and make sure she stays away from you." I whispered to keep Mrs. Cope at bay.

"I started it." She said quietly my head popped up in surprise. "I saw her walking by and I was so mad at it all I just punched her in the face. I was so in love with you and she fucking ruined my life. I still don't understand why, like, why did she choose you? Of all the needy boys at this school! Why choose mine?"

"I am so sorry. I wish I could go back in time and change all the shitty things I have done. I wish I would've been honest from the start, I wish I was stronger then and now." I was trying to talk so that my brain didn't think about her words "I was so in love with you…"

Was.

Past tense.

She didn't love me anymore.

I sucked in deep breaths through my nose and out my mouth, over and over until I had my emotions under control.

"Masen? Are you alright?"

Shit, now she was asking how I was, me, the one who hurt her. I couldn't deal. I dropped my head between my knees and continued to breath deep.

"No, I'm not, But it's fine. I think she was power tripping. Once she had me in her trap I was just that, trapped. She knew I would do anything to keep you from getting hurt by what had happened. She is smarter then she looks."

"Hmp, Fuck her!"

"Ha, yup." It was quite for a few before Principal Green came in and made us go into his office, me first.

"Mr. Cullen, I am very surprised to see you in here for fighting. What happen?"

I sighed." Where do you want me to start? Just with today or before?"

"Give me the whole story, but the cliff notes version"

So I told him everything, excluding unnecessary details. "So when we were coming out of Mr. Thompson's classroom they were already fighting. Mr. Thompson and I tried break it up. She, Zafrina, tuned it on me. She went ape while I trying to protect MaKenna. It was a mess."

"Well, Mr. Cullen I will speak with MaKenna and let you know what is going to happen next. Go sit back outside."

I went back outside slumped in my seat, just thinking about how shitty everything is.

We were only two and half months out from graduation. Prom is in a month and a half, Lacrosse Nationals, Finals then graduation it was all going by so fast and I was missing it.

I made some very bad decisions! Very bad! And I was sorry for those that I hurt but I have to buck up! I have to… I have to. I've been letting my team and family down in the wake of Makenna's indecision.

Makenna was in with the Principal for a long time.

It should've made me nervous, but I just didn't care anymore. If she doesn't love me anymore then I just have to move on. There will be no more us and even though that thought was very hurtful, I would be ok.

Makenna came out and sat in the chair closest to me, not the seat she was in before she went in. I peeked over to find her red faced and sniffling. I didn't say anything but I just put my arm around her and pulled her into me. She put her head on my shoulder and we just sat there for a minute.

"It will be ok." She said with a nod and sat up. I didn't let go of her though… I guess I never will completely.

"Makenna, Can I ask you something?" I asked as a rubbed her shoulder. She nodded but didn't turn to look at me." Earlier, when pete was touching you… why'd you let him do that? I mean, I know it's all out of my hands but why lead me on? If I didn't have a chance, why string me along and let that fucktard Peter get his ass whipped in the process."

She sighed heavily "I just, I don't know what I am doing Mase. You were my everything and I just don't know what I am doing. Like, I want to forgive you but I know that I am not really ready. I feel really bad for leading you and pete on but I want attention too. I miss you fawning over me. You really did spoil me." She finished with a smirk.

And I did.

I love her so much and I made sure she knew it every time I could.

"Do you… Ahh, Kenna, do you still love me?"
