Chapter 2: The arrival

She calls her mom as she sits and her mom says she can't wait to see her again.

"Only been a couple days mom" she says with a laugh.

"That just shows how much I love you kiddo" her mom answers.

She proves that by giving Macy a bear hug when they meet at baggage claim.

"I missed you too mom so dad busy again?" she asked and Mary nodded.

"He said he'll try and be home tonight but you know doctors their is nothing much he can do" she said.

"And Molly slept over her friends house and so I'll pick her up later" she added. Macy nodded and told her all about the interview.

"So in a couple days I'll know if I'm in" she ended and Mary grinned.

"Well you seem to get into everything you set your mind too so we should start planning now" she said and Macy chuckled.

"I don't think it works like that" she said and Mary shrugged.

"It could, come on lets get home and get some lunch before you disappear on me again" she offered.

When they got home her father and sister jumped up and yelled surprise.

"Hey my little college kid" Macy's dad said hugging her proud.

"Aw thanks for the shock but I don't know if I got in yet have to wait for confirmation letter" Macy said and her dad chuckled.

"So we had your party early, not like we don't know our child can't do everything she wants to" he said.

Macy smiled at both her parents enthusiasm. "Yeah, I think I'll go put my stuff upstairs before I eat" she said and they both nodded.

When she got to her room she called Stella. "Hey, you back home already?" the stylist asked and Macy nodded.

"Yep, I had fun" she said. "That's good, is your aunt okay?" she asked and Macy frowned but then remembered her lie.

"Yeah, she's fine" Macy said. "Good...so you think you can over soon? The guys and I can't decide what to do and I'm really outnumbered" she said.

Macy laughed. "I just got home so give me an hour" she said and Stella said okay.

After lunch Macy walked over but skimped on the details of her little trip.

When she had to use the bathroom the brothers and Stella had a fast meeting.

"She's lied didn't she? Macy wasn't with her aunt" Stella asked and Nick nodded. "I believe so but then the question is why did she lie and where was she?" he asked.

"Who knows but she is our friend and we should let her tell us when she is ready" Joe offered.

"Fine I just hope she isn't in trouble" Stella said.

When Macy came out the four decided to put on a movie and after the movie Macy went home again.

For the next two days she acted strange as she fought with wanting to come clean to her friends. The boys and Stella were worried.

So when the letter finally came Macy tore it open as quick as she could.

"Mom! it's here!" she yelled.

Mary Misa walked out of the kitchen at the excited voice of her daughter. "So? Did you get into the school you wanted?" she asked as Macy read her letter.

Macy looked up and smiled. "It's Florida State and they want me for gymnastics scholarship" she said and Mary swept her daughter up in a big hug.

Macy returned it enthusiastically but then frowned. "Oh no...I can't go" she murmured.

Mary pulled away and lifted her daughter's chin. "Why not darling? If it's about money don't worry, your father and I can pay" she said and Macy shook her head.

"No...it's Stella and the Lucas brothers...I been friends with them so long now I can't bare to leave" she said and wiped her eyes as tears began to fall.

Mary hugged her child tight. "Oh baby girl I know it'll be hard but I think this school will be good for you, your friends will understand" she said.

"I hope so mom because I am also falling for Nick and I don't know if i should tell him especially with me leaving" she said.

"Tell him kiddo,if he like you,he will support you for following your dream and if he not well then it's a good thing that you will be away from him" Mary answered.

"Is it really that simple? I mean what if he doesn't like me like that in return or if he does what if all this does is hurt us both?" she asked.

"Only one way to find stuff out is to ask my darling" Mary answered.

Macy sighed. "Okay, I guess they all should know the truth, I mean they probably know I wasn't with my aunt that weekend" she said and Mary raised a brow.

Macy told her the story and she smiled. "Well now i guess you should fix it now that you know" she said. Macy nodded glad she didn't scold her for lying.

"Okay, I just hope nothing changes between the four of us, I hate to lose them" she said.

"If they are good friends they won't" Mary said and Macy hurried off to get ready. She texted Stella and Stella said it was fine to meet at the firehouse after calling the boys.
