Chapter 19: Goodbye Mack
Here's the next chapter! I have been planning this chapter for a while now so I hope you like it.
Update, I just got my braces off today and I am obsessed with smiling now!
Here's the next chapter enjoy!
While Brady was gone, everyone headed down to the beach.
Mack, CheeChee, and Struts were tanning while everyone else was either playing in the sand or in the water.
Butchy, Olivia, and Lugnut were building sandcastles and SeaCat, Rascal, Kiki, and Giggles were all throwing a Frisbee back and forth.
While Lela and Tanner were doing their annual surfing lesson.
Kiki threw the Frisbee which made it crash into Butchy's sandcastle. Butchy's attitude was slowly coming back because he got mad about that little thing.
"You little…" Butchy was interrupted by Olivia mid-sentence.
"Butchy."
Butchy simmered back down and decided to work on another castle.
Lugnut grabbed the disk and handed it back to Kiki. He smirked at her which caused her to blush before running back to her group.
Lela was doing a lot better. She tackled her first wave without wiping out. Of course it was just a little wave, she was nowhere near the skill level of Tanner or Mack. But hey at least she could say she could surf.
Mack had tried to get CheeChee and Struts to at least touch the ocean but no use. They wouldn't budge.
Mack couldn't help but wonder how difficult it will be to get them to go into the ocean in order for them to go home, but maybe they will want to then because they will be going home.
At about 5 everyone headed back to the house.
Kiki, Tanner, Giggles, SeaCat, and Rascal all sat down at the dining room table to try and figure who did the terrible thing to Kiki.
"Do you think it was…" Kiki began
"No it couldn't be…." Giggles continued.
"But what if it was.." Kiki added.
"It wasn't we got rid of them…" Giggles argued
"Or did we…" Kiki questioned. Giggles gasped.
"It couldn't be possible.." Giggles argued again.
"Yes it could! We don't know where they went after that day." Kiki argued back.
Now Tanner, SeaCat, and Rascal were all confused, so they just got up and let the girls be.
They headed downstairs to the basement where the bikers, Olivia, and Mack were.
Mack's week was going by a lot better since her talk with Brady.
"Where are the girls?" Mack asked noticing their absence.
"Upstairs chatting." Rascal answered sitting down next to Struts and Lugnut.
Mack nodded and sat down on the edge of the "stage" they had built for Lela to sing on.
Music was playing and people were dancing, having the time of their lives.
Mack went upstairs to fetch the girls and make some dinner.
She came down 15 minutes later with Giggles and Kiki following her, helping her hold everything.
They set everything down on the counter and everyone grabbed plates and dived in.
There were sandwiches, chips, fruit, and soda or pops as some of them put it.
Everyone sat down in a circle on the floor and listened to some music.
Once everyone was done they stacked their plates on top of each other's and found a spot on the dance floor, while Lela sang Falling For Ya.
Tanner danced with Mack, Giggles with SeaCat, Rascal with Struts, Kiki with Lugnut, and Butchy with Olivia, while CheeChee was on stage with Lela.
Lela: The day started ordinary
Boys walking by
People started doing the exact moves they do in the movie. Which didn't surprise anyone at all. They all just hoped that Lela wouldn't fall because nobody will be there to really catch her.
It was the same old story
Too fresh or too shy
Mack felt incredibly weird dancing this dance without Brady. But if she had to dance with someone else, at least it was Tanner.
I'm not the kind to fall for a guy
Who flashes a smile
CheeChee: It goes on for miles
Lela: Don't usually swoon but I'm over the moon
CheeChee: Cause he was just too cool for school
Lela: And now I'm falling for ya
Falling for ya
Can't hold on any longer
And now I'm falling for ya
Feels like you tumbled from another world
Into your arms
I'm so secure
Maybe I'll stumble but I know for sure
Head over heels I'm gonna be your girl
Everyone watched Lela carefully as the music played, praying silently that she wouldn't fall. Luckily she caught herself before and everyone continued dancing,
And now I'm falling for ya
Falling for ya
I know I shouldn't but I
I just can't stop myself from falling for ya
Falling for ya
Can't hold on any longer
And now I'm falling for you
The song ended and everyone cheered.
Mack scooped up the dirty dishes and headed upstairs. When Brady walked in.
"Hey you missed dinner and a show." Mack giggled but Brady's expression didn't change.
"Hey what's wrong? Are you okay?" Mack asked concerned
"What nothing I'm fine." Brady answered but Mack didn't believe him.
"No you're not. What's wrong?" Mack asked again.
"Nothing I just have a headache. I'll be fine." Brady answered.
"What happened?"
"Bryan."
"Bryan did this to you?" Mack screeched. Bryan was Brady's mother's new boyfriend.
"Well not exactly, I tripped on one of his boxes considering he's moving in."
"That's great news Brady!"
"No it isn't. ok just cause Bryan can come into our family doesn't mean I have to be happy about it."
"You're, you're ridiculous." Mack joked. Brady stood up and was about to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Mack called following him.
"Going to check when the next storm will be. We need to send them home soon."
"Brady this isn't about the gang this is about you not appreciating what you have!" Mack screamed. Everyone downstairs slowly crept their way up the stairs.
"You have a family! Your mom, your siblings, Bryan! I don't even remember my mom, I haven't spoken to my dad ever and you have the nerve to feel sorry about yourself?" Brady just stared at the floor before speaking.
"It's not my fault." Brady muttered.
"What?" Mack was still mad at him and him speaking quiet doesn't exactly help his situation he's in with her.
"I said it's not my fault that you haven't contacted your dad yet alone gone to visit your own mother's grave." Brady argued. Mack was choking back tears.
"And you think I wanted that! I don't even know where my mom's buried my aunt never told me! And if my dad didn't want anything to do with me then why would he now?"
"But still now your kids won't even have a grandfather or grandmother on your side and it's all your fault!"
Mack felt a tear roll down her cheek.
"So you're saying it's my fault that my mom died and my dad left us! And since when are they my kids? Huh? What happened to our future?"
"Yeah it is your fault if you weren't so stubborn maybe your mom would still be here and you wouldn't be alone and act like this!"
"If my mom was still here we would have never met! Is that what you want?"
Mack hoped for a different answer than she was expecting.
"Maybe is it what I want!" Brady yelled. Mack had tears streaming down her cheeks.
Mack couldn't believe what she was hearing. She wasn't going to let the 11 people she usually doesn't cry in front of see her cry. She stormed out the door and onto the beach leaving a heartbroken Brady at the door watching her leave.
I hope you liked this chapter! I did! I had fun writing this! The song I used was Falling For Ya from Teen Beach Movie! I used the argument from Lemonade Mouth for Mack and Brady's argument but changed it up a little bit! I hope you liked it! I thought it fit well! Thank you to my reviewers and readers! Next update on Tuesday!
