Song is Before The Storm by Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. I don't care if you don't like them (not a big fan of Miley either. I don't hate her, I don't like her). I love the song so much. Listen to it. Sorry if I got the lyrics wrong. I'm just listening to it, then pause, type, play, listen…yeah, you get the picture. I don't own it.

.:As The Thunder Starts To Crash:.

"Trying to keep the light from going out, and the clouds are ripping out my broken heart, we always say, a heart is not whole, without the one who gets you through the storm…standing out in the rain, knowing that it's really over, please don't leave me alone…flooded with all this pain, knowing that I'll never hold you, like I did before the stor—," Massie Block(Harrington) sang.

"Gosh, stop singing." Derrick Harrington cut in.

"That was a good part!" Massie complained.

"I'm trying to watch soccer!"

"What is it with you boys and watching sports on TV?"

"We're awesome."

Massie rolled her eyes and finger-tapped her iPhone to repeat the song. "I know this isn't what I wanted, I never thought it'd come this far, was thinking back to where we started, and how we lost all that we are…we were young and times were easy, but I could see it's not the same. Standing here but you don't see me, I'd give it all for that to change…"

"I'm trying to watch TV!"

"And I don't want to lose her, no, I let her go…standing out in the rain, need to know if it's over, cause I will leave you alone, I'm flooded with all this pain, knowing that I'll never hold her, like I did before the storm…"

"Shush!"

"With every strike of lightning, comes a memory that lasts, not a word is left unspoken, as the thunder starts to crash…maybe I should give up…"

"Yeah, you should."

"Standing out in the rain, need to know if it's over, cause I will leave you alone, I'm flooded with all this pain, knowing that I'll never hold her, like I did before the storm…"

"Shut up!"

"Make me!"

"Keep, the lights from going out, and the clouds are ripping out my broken heart—"

But Massie was cut off by Derrick's warm lips on hers. He pulled away and Massie stared at him.

"Well, that stopped your horrible singing," he said and Massie was instantly overcome by annoyance. If there was one thing she was sure of, it's that she could sing!

"Horrible singing? God, Derrick, you steal my first kiss and you insult me. What kind of a guy are you?"

"Are you kidding me? You're sixteen years old and that was your first kiss? That wasn't even a kiss! That was just something to shut you up!" he laughed.

"You really are an ass, you know that?" Massie said before standing up and heading to her room. She slammed the door hard behind her and sat on her bed. She looked around her room, taking in deep yoga breaths as she tried to calm down. She spotted a picture of her sitting down on the cafeteria table. She was surrounded by her friends and him. She grabbed the picture and scissors and cut him out. She then proceeded to puncture his 'perfect' face with her red pen.

"Block?" he asked from the other side of the door, using that nickname he used for her. She didn't say anything, but she put tape on top of the ruined picture and opened the door. He gave a small smile when he saw her head, but the smile disappeared when her arm came out and stuck the picture on his hair that was over his forehead. He took the picture and his eyes grew wide when he saw it. Massie gave a small smirk as she saw his expression but she quickly shut the door in his face.

"Well, that didn't go well," she heard him say. Of course it won't go well. What he did would get him at least a week of the cold shoulder and he'll have to wait a few years to be forgiven. That was my first kiss! How dare he do that?! Stealing my first kiss just to stop my 'horrible singing' then laughing at my face! Ugh. He is so annoying.

After her little head rant, she decided to just go to bed to let her anger pass.

~*~*~*~

The sound of the hard rain splattering down on the roof woke Massie up. She got up off the bed and made her way into the kitchen, where she was surprised to see Derrick eating. Well, she was surprised that he was awake, but she wasn't surprised that he was eating. How the hell does eat so much and still maintain a fit and muscled body?

"What are you doing up?" he asked.

"The rain. Rain wakes me up. I don't know why, but every time it rains, I always wake up," she shrugged, opening the fridge to get water.

"That's weird."

She was about to respond when she remembered that she wasn't talking to him, so she kept quiet.

"Cold shoulder, eh? Fine," he said and put a spoonful of Lucky Charms in his mouth. Massie kept quiet, drinking her water, not even looking at him. She slammed her glass hard on the kitchen island and opened the cupboard to get the box of Lucky Charms. The box was empty. He ate all the Lucky Charms. She glared at him while chewed, a smug smile on his face.

"I hate you."

"I thought you weren't talking to me."

She continued to glare at him, but all the annoyance that was directed at Derrick was pushed out of her mind when the thunder clapped. She jumped and let out a small whimper. Derrick tilted his head to the side and looked at her curiously.

"Are you scared of thunder?" he asked.

Massie kept quiet.

"You are, aren't you?"

She didn't say anything.

"Whoa. Massie Block, sixteen years old, got her first kiss stolen this evening, is afraid of thunder."

"I am not! I am not afraid of thu—,"but she was cut off by the thunder and her heart skipped a beat.

"Yes you are!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

The thunder crashed again and she jumped a little.

"You're afraid of thunder! Admit it, you are! You're afraid of thunder!" he laughed. "Massie Block is afraid of thunder! Massie Block is afraid of thunder! You're afraid of thunder!"

He laughed even more but he stopped abruptly when he saw her amber eyes. It was full of fear.

"You're really scared, aren't you?

She gave a small nod as the thunder clapped again.

"How long have you been scared?"

"Since I was a little girl," she whispered.

"Well, do you need anything?"

She shook her head. "Not really. I just need to let it pass."

He walked around the kitchen island to where Massie was standing and wrapped his arms around her.

"Whenever I get scared, my mom hugs me," he explained.

"Thanks," she murmured.

They stayed like that for a good five minutes until the storm subsided a little.

"About what happened earlier…" he started.

"Can we forget it ever happened?" Massie said.

"Yeah. And I'm sorry I did that."

"If you never did this, I would have never forgiven you."

"Can we keep this quiet too? If word gets out that I did this, the boys will tease me my whole life."

"Yeah… I'll never hear the end of it when I tell the girls about his too."

"Now, I want to finish my Lucky Charms," he said before walking back to his original position.

"I'm going back to hating you again."

"Why? After I did something I would never do, you hate me again?!"

"Yes. You got all the Lucky Charms."

"Well, sucks for you."

"But I'm hungry!"

"Cook something!"

"I don't know how to cook!"

"What?"

"I said, I don't know how to cook."

"Why? You're a girl."

"Not all girls know how to cook."

"Well then, how are you going to feed yourself?"

"Cook for me."

"I don't know how."

"I know you know how. You told us last year. Cook for me, please."

"And why should I do that?"

"Please? I'm starving."

"No."

"Please, please, please? I'm begging you."

He closed his eyes and sighed. "Fine."

"Thank you!" she beamed and he got to work.
