WinchesterAngel3389 & CenaCandiceFan4Life - Thank you for the reviews :)
Dave POV
The next day we all hung around the house. I wasn't really talkative, because I didn't really know how I felt around Merci. I wanted to be with her, but she liked John. I wanted to change it, but I didn't know how; I didn't know if Kelly would help me on this one. I was sitting beside the pool when Jeff walked up; he sat beside me.
"What's wrong?" I asked him and he just looked at me.
"Ahh… it must have something to do with Merci." He said and I looked at him.
"What?" I asked him.
"Your problem must be with Merci? Does she not like you?" he asked me and I sighed.
"How the hell do you know some of this?" I asked him.
"Dave, I know that you liked her even when I dated her. You know, not all of us are blind." He said and I nodded.
"Fine, yes, she likes John." I said and he nodded.
I sat there and talked to him for a little longer, before we all went inside. Merci and Kelly were watching TV, since Shannon had to go home. Jeff left a little later and Merci went with him.
I was watching TV and Kelly sat down beside me.
"What put you in such a pissy mood?" she asked me and I just looked at her.
"I don't want to talk about it." I said and she just looked at me.
"Tell me." She said and I sighed.
"I just don't get how Merci can like John over me." I said and she looked shocked that I knew that.
"How did you find out?" she asked me and I sighed.
"I listened through your door last night." I said and she slapped me.
"What? You asked!" I said and she sighed.
"Why does it matter?" she asked me and I looked at her.
"Oh, you really really like her." She said and I nodded.
"Sorry, Dave; I don't know why she likes John better. I guess because maybe she feels safe with him. She does have bad luck with guys." Kelly said and I sighed.
"I know; I guess that I will just have to wait and see what happens." I said and Kelly nodded.
"How are things with you and Shannon?" I asked her and she smiled; she was happy.
"Great." She said and I smiled at her.
"Mom and Dad are coming back tomorrow." I said and she nodded.
We got used to our parents being gone for long periods of time; we didn't care anymore. We just expected nice gifts when they got back. I fell asleep later that night; I still couldn't figure out why she liked him over me.
Merci POV
I got home that night and hung out with Jeff and Shannon; Matt was out with Gail. I did miss being Jeff's girlfriend, because I felt so close to him. I felt like he understood me; I liked that feeling. I didn't have that connection with a lot of people.
"I'm going home." I told them and they hugged me.
"I will walk you home." Jeff said and I just laughed, but didn't argue. He didn't want me getting lost going 10 feet.
"You want a ride tomorrow?" I asked him and he shook his head no.
"No, I am going out with Mickie tomorrow night." He said and that caught me off guard.
"Really?" I asked him and he nodded.
"She called me earlier and asked me to meet her at the diner." He said and I nodded. I didn't like Mickie and Jeff together; Jeffy was mine.
"Well, have fun. I have to work anyways." I said and he smiled at me. He hugged me and I walked inside. I didn't like the fact that Mickie was moving in on Jeff. I showered and looked at my text. I had some from Kelly, Phil, John, and Mickie. Mickie was telling me about tomorrow night with Jeff; she apparently really liked him. I knew it was probably like she really liked Phil, John, or Evan.
I showered and still hadn't talked to Dave all day; I hoped that he wasn't mad at me. I texted him before falling asleep; I usually opened my window, but I just didn't feel like it tonight.
I got up the next morning and drove to school. Jeff, Matt, Shannon, Phil, Kelly, Mickie, and Gail were all waiting for me.
"You ok?" Phil asked me and I nodded.
"I just didn't want to get up." I said; I lied. I didn't want to be here today. I didn't want to hear about how much fun Mickie was going to have with Jeff; or how happy Kelly was with Shannon.
"I don't believe you." Phil whispered to me and I smiled.
"I wouldn't believe me either." I said and he was laughing at me.
We walked inside and the day went like normal. I heard about about how happy Kelly was, how happy Matt was, and how nervous Mickie was about tonight. Jeff didn't say anything about any of it and Phil was trying to keep me happy.
I got out of school and went to the dojo. Phil and John were both there tonight, so I was glad that I wasn't alone. I still hadn't talked to Dave and I didn't know what his problem was; I just didn't like that he wasn't talking to me for no reason.
I texted him and asked him what I did; I didn't expect a response, but I was at least going to ask. I was watching Phil teach someone and John was on the phone about something; I was not having a good day. I had a phone call from my mom and everything got worse.
John POV
I could tell that Merci wasn't having a good day; she just didn't seem happy. I asked Phil about and he didn't know why either. I walked up to the desk and she looked stressed out. I pulled her into a hug and she just brushed me off.
"What's wrong, doll?" I asked her.
"I am just having a shit day." She said and I was surprised to hear her cuss.
"You want to grab dinner?" I aksed her and she shook her head no.
"How about I pick it up and bring it back?" I asked her and she shook her head no.
"What's the problem?" I asked her and she sighed.
"I don't want to talk about it right now." She said and I rubbed her back for a second.
"Alright, but talk to one of us." I said and she nodded.
I walked over to Phil once he was done and I sat down.
"What's with Merci?" I asked him and he shrugged.
"She has been that way since this morning." He said and I nodded.
I was talking with him when Dave and Paul walked in; Dave didn't even look at Merci and I was shocked. I knew that it might be part of it.
"Just tell her to go home." I told Phil and he nodded.
I watched as he walked up there and told her. She didn't argue or say much; she just grabbed her stuff and walked out. Phil walked back over and sighed.
"I don't know what pissed her off, but I feel bad for whoever gets in her way." He said and I cracked a smile. I had a feeling that Dave knew something was going on.
Merci POV
I got home and walked inside. I had talked to my mother while I was at work. She told me that we had to have a serious discussion. I walked in and sat down; I knew that something was definitely wrong.
"Merci, I got a call from your grandma; she needs to us to move back." She said and I didn't know how I felt about it.
"What? Now?" I asked her.
"She found out that she has cancer and we would be far away from your father." She said and I knew that that would be an advantage. I knew that if we moved I would have lived in TN, Hawaii, and now Arizona. I didn't mind Arizona; I was born there and lived there when I was little.
"When did you tell her you would decide?" I asked mom.
"Within a week; I know it's a lot to ask of you to move when the year is almost over." She said and I knew that she was right, but I had no real reason to stay here. I wasn't about to stay for the drama.
"Why does my opinion matter?" I asked her.
"Because, you are a senior here; We can wait until after you graduate." She said and I nodded.
"Let me think." I said and she nodded.
