Chapter 7:

4 new texts from Landon Crane.

Landon: how was the dinner?

Landon: u should be back by now…

Landon: is this about our fight? If it is, im sorry.

Landon: r u alright?

"LBR," Massie whispered, almost smiling to herself at the term LBR. She hadn't called anyone an LBR in what seemed like years. She had woken up to her phone vibrating in her pocket-with several texts from Landon. She had no idea what to say. She couldn't just admit that she had seen Derrick, stayed with him overnight, or on top of that…tell him that she was now engaged to someone else, who she really loved. She didn't have a clue what he'd say to that either. Would he be angry? Or sad? Did he really love her? Massie doubted it-she saw the way he looked longingly at our girls when they were walking hand in hand together. "Morning Block," Derrick yawned, unwrapping his arms from her, stretching and yawning.

"I'm so sorry. Did I wake you up?" Massie asked, turning around to look at him. "Nah, its fine." He rubbed his eyes, and then looked at her properly. "You look pretty, even in the morning," he chuckled. Massie self consciously smoothed out her hair, and he grabbed her hand. "You look pretty. You always do though," he added. "Sure," she sighed, wondering how she really looked. "You look kind of scared though. You alright?" She sighed again, and then rested her head on his broad shoulder. "I'm scared to tell Landon," she admitted, looking up at him. "It's fine, don't worry about it," he repeated. "I always worry," she pointed out. "Don't worry," Derrick mumbled, almost rolling his eyes. Girls were always worrying.

"Where are we going?" Massie asked, as they both got in the taxi. "Landon," he replied simply. Her eyes widened, and she looked at him worriedly. "Are you sure this is the right time?" "We can't run away from our problems Block. We have to face them," he replied confidently, taking her hand.

"Mass!" Landon's relieved voice said. It was all just an act. "And…Derrick?" he asked in confusion. "Welcome to our home." He put an arm around Massie, holding her close. "We have some news," Derrick stated firmly. Landon raised his eyebrows. Massie coughed loudly, and Landon looked from her to Derrick. "You're pregnant, aren't you? And Derrick's the dad," Landon burst out. "Um, excuse me?" Massie asked, almost wanting to laugh. "Of course nawt." "Then what is it?" he asked. Derrick took Massie's left hand, almost playing with the ring on her fourth finger. Landon's eyes focused on the new ring. "No," he said slowly, shaking his head. "You're breaking off an engagement? With me?" Massie nodded slowly, desperately wanting to look at Derrick, but instead she continued staring at the ground. "With him? He called you immature, and then went out with your best friend." "Stop it, Landon," she mumbled. It was bizarre how guys could make Massie act so…un-alpha. "You don't love me," she said quietly. "Derrick does." Massie could almost feeling him gloating-that was so Derrick, in a totally ah-dorable way. "And he's sorry for what he did to me," she added. "I love him." "But I was the ninth grader who helped you realize what you really wanted," Landon protested. "No. It was showing me that I missed Derrick." Derrick gently squeezed her hand, trying to reassure her.

"I'm sorry, Landon," she said, finally looking up from the ground. Her amber eyes met his blue ones. "I knew this was going to happen," Landon said quietly. "Go," he said simply, shaking his head. "I need time to think." "I'm really sorry man. But I love her," Derrick finally said. He held Massie close by the waist, sending butterflies soaring in her stomach. She'd done it. She wasn't with Landon anymore.

Derrick sat back in his seat, and looked over at Massie, who was fast asleep, her head on his shoulder. It was 2 am and they were flying over the Atlantic-but Derrick wasn't tired. Massie had finally done it. Broken it off with Landon…engaged to Derrick. He softly played with her hair-he loved the feeling of her soft hair through his fingers. "What are you doing?" Massie mumbled, half asleep. "Go back to sleep," he whispered, fixing the blanket around her. "I love you," he added quietly.

"Massie!" Alicia squealed, and then ran over to the tired looking alpha. Derrick and Massie had just arrived through Gate 5, and the rest of the 'Pretty Committee Alicia grabbed her by the shoulders, and gave her a huge hug. "Hey Leesh." Kristen and Dylan were close behind, and they both engulfed Massie in a hug. "How's…Landon?" Kristen asked awkwardly. "He'll be alright," Massie smiled faintly. He'd actually been somewhat nice about it-but he was coping in his own way. Massie glanced over at Derrick, who was busy chuckling with Kemp, Plovert and Josh. "I've missed you guys," Massie suddenly said, pulling them all into a group hug. The rest of the girls looked at each other in confusion-it was unusual for Massie to express her feelings-maybe Derrick had changed her in a way.

"We were so worried when we got that invitation," Kendra said, hugging Massie tightly. "Don't worry. I called it off," Massie reassured her. "I just can't believe you didn't tell us. Don't do that ever again," William added, putting his arm around the both of them. "I won't," she promised. "As a matter of fact…I'm getting married to Derrick," she smiled-a real genuine smile, looking back at Derrick. She held out her ring for her parents to admire. "I mean I would've asked you two for permission first, but…" he trailed off, when he saw their two smiles. "We always knew that you two would get married, we never approved of Landon really…" Kendra smiled.

"It feels so good to be back," Massie sighed happily, and sank lower in the water. TPC were at the Block's spa. "So, Mass…what do you want your wedding to be like?" Alicia asked curiously. "Oh, oh, maybe a beach wedding. That'd be so romantic," Dylan said. "Ah-greed. Or maybe…a fairy tale wedding," Kristen added. "I'd like a Taylor Swift wedding," Massie suddenly said, her cheeks turning a slight pink. "Taylor Swift?" Alicia giggled. "No, nawt like Taylor Swift themed. Ah-bviously nawt, Leesh," Massie giggled. "I meant like super romantic." "Well, we all want that of course," Kristen nodded. "We'll have to see," Massie decided. For now, she just wanted to be in the moment with her friends-she hadn't felt this good in a long time.

"We can have anything theme you want," Jasmine, the wedding planner that Kendra and Susan Harrington (A/N: Don't think it mentions Derrick's parents in the original books…so we'll have to go with Susan) had recommended. "We don't have to make it big if you don't want, Block," Derrick offered. Massie giggled shyly. "But I want it to be big," she insisted. "That's Massie Block for you," he said to the wedding planner. "Like I said before, we can have any theme you want-a butterfly theme, with butterfly invitations, butterfly lights, chairs…" Massie and Derrick both made a face at the same time.

"Too sweet." "Too girly." "Derrick, it has to be girly and romantic for sure," Massie teased. "Halloween themed?" the wedding planner suggested. "Do I look like-" Derrick interrupted her-he knew that a comeback was going to come out of her mouth. "What she's trying to say is…isn't Halloween a little too much?" "Not at all. In fact, sometimes, they're quite brilliant," Jasmine nodded. "I don't think my parents would approve," Massie said finally, looking through the pictures. "Same," Derrick echoed, looking at the decorations. "Beach themed?" Jasmine sighed, flipping through her book, and showed them the pictures. "There's quite a nice beach in California, then there's a really nice, 5-star hotel just 10 minutes away, that's used for all of the famous weddings." Massie nodded slowly, and then looked over at Derrick.

"I actually really like that," she said, slowly smiling. "And it's famous too," Derrick added, grinning at Massie. "I don't mind…as long as we get married." "But nawt with that awful Halloween theme," Massie whispered in his ear, and they both started laughing.

"You're so tanned!" Massie exclaimed, almost jealously, as she looked Claire up and down. Claire looked down carelessly. "Forget about me, you're getting married!" she squealed, her locks of sun bleached hair bouncing up and down. "Yeah, that's right, just forget about me, I'll just stay standing here in the background," Cam teased. Massie laughed. "Sorry Cam. Welcome back. Glad you two had a nice honeymoon. Derrick's with the other guys in the living room." "Thanks, Massie," he grinned, and then went downstairs. "I can't believe it," Massie suddenly said. She lied down on her bed, hiding her face in the pillow, breathing in the sweet lavender scent of her bed. "Just a few months ago, we were in this room, and I was ready to leave for Paris." "And you came back, engaged to Landon!" Claire accused. Massie laughed softly. "That's all behind me now."
