A/n: this story has been officially disclaimed. Sorry for the wait I was on vacation the past week and didn't have time to update and now I have drama to deal with so it might be awhile until the next update but I'll try to update sooner.
Love,
Haloxoxo.
"What do you think has gotten into Alicia?" Claire asked Massie as Massie tore through her closet looking for something to wear for her date with Derrick tonight.
"I don't really know" Massie said as she threw a Vera Wang dress on the ground, "I mean Kristen is a bitch don't get me wrong but I feel bad for her because Josh is a d-bag".
Claire picked up the short black Vera Wang dress from the ground and placed it on the bed with the other ten dresses Massie threw on the floor. "Josh is the least of Kristen's problems" Claire accidentally said out loud.
This caught Massie's attention; she turned around to look at Claire. "What do you mean by Josh is the least of Kristen's problems?" Massie asked.
Claire looked down at the carpet. "It's nothing" Claire said.
Massie stepped out of her closet and walked over to Claire. "Obviously it is something if you can't tell me about it" Massie said as she stared at Claire waiting for an answer.
Claire looked up at her new friend with an I-really-can't-tell-you look. "I promised Kristen I would never tell anyone about it".
Massie's face softened it is clear to her that Claire is a loyal friend even if Claire isn't your friend anymore she'll stay loyal to you. "Oh okay" Massie said.
"Really that's it?" Claire asked baffled that Massie doesn't want to know more or try to get anything out of her.
"Yes, really I mean it's cool that your still loyal to Kristen even though you're not her friend anymore" Massie said honestly.
"If I was really loyal to Kristen than I would have stood up for her when Alicia was being mean to her" Claire said thinking about the look of hurt on Kristen's face earlier today.
"Claire, don't beat yourself up about that because you were just scared about losing me as a friend" Massie said knowing very well that Claire doesn't need or want to lose another friend.
"It's not just that" Claire said; she sat down on Massie's bed. She needs to tell Massie the truth about Kristen so then Massie can understand what Claire is dealing with.
Massie sat down on her bed next to Claire. "Then what is it about?" Massie asked trying to understand but she can't so Claire needs to tell her.
"You know how Kristen said in her speech that her parents are rarely around?" Claire asked and Massie nodded her head, yes. "Well it's gotten much worse. You can't tell anyone this but Kristen's parents have abandoned her for good and they're never coming back to get her".
Massie is speechless she never thought anyone's parents especially Kristen's would ever leave their kid behind and never come back for them. "So she's living in her mansion all by herself?" Massie asked.
"Yes and I really need to help her but she'll never forgive me" Claire said, "She needs someone to save her".
Massie knows very well she is an expert on saving people because she saved Dylan countless of times and she also saved Alicia from being something she's not and Massie also saved Claire from losing everything.
Ding! The doorbell rang and Massie knows who is on the other side of the door but she doesn't know if she can go through with this date. "That's Derrick. I need to go but I'll do the best I can to help you, Claire" Massie said then she ran down stairs.
She opened the door and Derrick is standing with a bouquet of red roses and he is wearing Diesel jeans and a Ralph Lauren dress shirt, he looks adorable.
"You um look good" Derrick said checking Massie out. Massie on the other hand is wearing True Religions dark wash skinny jeans, a purple Ella Moss tank and Pumas and her hair is curled with a bow head band pulling the look together. It's the outfit she wore to school except she switched her Jimmy Choos for Pumas.
"I know that I don't look super cute but I just kind of ran out of time" Massie said honestly as she took the roses from Derrick and placed them on the table next to her.
"No, you're perfect" Derrick said sincere. "Shall we?" he asked holding his hand out for Massie to take.
"We shall" Massie said as she took his hand and the shut the door with her other hand. "So where are we going?" Massie asked as she climbed into Derrick's black Escalade.
"We're going to this cute infamous bistro" Derrick said as he shifted the car in reverse and started to drive off to their destination.
"So may I ask why you changed your mind and asked me out?" Massie asked curious because she doesn't feel like she has done anything overly nice to make Derrick want to take her out on a date.
Derrick cleared his throat then he said, "I changed my mind when you stood up for Kristen and let her sit with you even though you didn't have to. It was a very nice thing to do".
Massie smiled to herself; she turned and looked out her window and she sees a mansion emerging from the distance. "Can we make a quick stop before we go to the bistro?" Massie asked suddenly; something is coming over her and telling her to be the nice girl she is meant to be.
"Um sure, I guess so where are we stopping?" Derrick asked surprised by Massie's question. 'Did I say something wrong?' Derrick thought to himself.
"Kristen's house, I need to talk to her really quick" Massie said. Derrick just nodded and when they approached Kristen's house he pulled into her driveway. "Stay here, I'll be right back" Massie said then she hopped out of the car and walked to the door.
Instead of knocking or ringing the doorbell like a normal person would do Massie just budged her way into Kristen's house.
Massie walked around the mansion until she saw Kristen on her hands and knees scrubbing the bathroom floor. 'Claire is right she obviously needs saving if she is cleaning her own house now' Massie thought to herself.
Kristen turned around and saw Massie Block staring at her. 'This is so humiliating' Kristen thought to herself. "Massie what are you doing here?" Kristen asked.
"The real question is not why I'm here but why on Earth are you cleaning when you have a maid to do the job for you" Massie said hoping to catch Kristen and not have to go through telling Kristen that Claire is so worried about her.
"She's sick and my parents are having company over so I need to make the place spotless before they arrive" Kristen lied; why should she tell Massie the real reason why? Massie hates her and would never care about her life.
"You're lying because your parents left you and don't try to deny it because Claire told me" Massie said and then she did something she hardly ever does she sat down next to Kristen on the floor.
"You can't trust that girl with anything" Kristen said flatly.
"Claire is just worried about you. That's why she told me" Massie said defending Claire.
"And what are you going to do? Laugh at me? You hate me" Kristen said seriously.
"I know that I've done some mean things to you but if I would have known what you were going through I would have never done anything to hurt you" Massie told Kristen the truth because everything Massie did to Kristen isn't as bad as what Kristen's parents had done to her, leave.
"I don't want people to pity me. That is why I never told anyone but Claire what I was going through" Kristen said.
"You didn't want to show any weakness. No alpha ever wants to but sometimes telling someone what is going on isn't being weak it's being strong because it's weaker to lie than it is to tell the truth" Massie said.
"Do you want to know why I hate you so much?" Kristen asked and Massie nodded her head yes. "My parents would always go to gymnastics meets and they loved one gymnast in particular, you. I hate you because you could get my parents attention but no matter what I did my parents never seemed to care about me the same way they cared about you."
"Kristen, I'm so sorry I didn't know" Massie said if she knew then she would have told Kristen's parents to pay attention to Kristen not her.
"No, I'm sorry because I never gave you a fair chance" Kristen said honestly; she should have given Massie the time of day then she would have known that Massie is actually a really sweet girl.
"Kristen, you can't live here. I have a guest house and you are welcome to stay there. My parents will be fine with you living with us, I'm sure of it" Massie said as she stood up and held a hand out for Kristen to take.
"Thank you so much, Massie" Kristen said as she took Massie hand and stood up from the floor. "You're a very nice girl, Massie. Everyone who doesn't know you and thinks you're heartless they're wrong" Kristen said.
"Thank you, Kristen. I have to get back to my date but I'll stop over tomorrow to help you move all your stuff" Massie said then she walked towards the door.
"Have fun and okay I'll start packing" Kristen said as she headed up to her room to pack.
Massie smiled and walked back out to Derrick's car. Massie has just saved one more person and she can't be anymore happier with herself.
"So what was that all about?" Derrick asked as Massie buckled herself in.
"Oh it was nothing I was just helping her with a difficult situation that's all" Massie said.
"Oh lifesaver, huh?" Derrick asked and Massie just nodded her head. "I like" Derrick said then he drove off to the bistro.
Sometimes we are blinded by the little clues that are pointing to something that is wrong because we're too busy with our own lives to take the time to investigate and because we don't we miss our chance to save someone.
