McKenzie replayed the conversation she had with her best friend over and over in her head. Would she do what Jake did if it was the other way around? Yeah, she would. McKenzie needed Zach but wanted Jake. She liked and cared for Zach, but she loved and wanted to be with Jake.

She got a text on her phone and it was from her brother.

"Matt wants us to come over to his house." She told Amber. "He's having a get together."

"Well let's go."

She texted her brother back to tell him they were on their way.

They got into Amber's car and headed over to her brother's house. When they got their she seen Josh's G35. They went inside and was bombarded by her brother.

"Hey!" He said giving them a hug.

He was obviously a little drunk.

"Hey to you too." McKenzie giggled.

"Here." He said handing them two cups. "It's my secret recipe."

The girls took a sip of the drink and both made faces.

"Jesus, what's in this Mark?" Amber asked.

"Oh I don't know…rum, tequila, and vodka." He said with a goofy grin. "To name a few."

"No wonder you drunk." McKenzie said.

McKenzie seen a lot of old friends that she hasn't seen in a couple of years. She mingled for a while until Josh came up throwing his arm around her shoulder.

"Hey, gorgeous."

"Hi, Josh." She smiled. "How long have you been here?"

"A couple of hours." He said taking a gulp of his Coors Light.

"Is Jake here?"

"Yeah, he's around here somewhere. You didn't see his car?" Josh said scanning the room. "Mom took Aubree for the night. Jake hasn't left the house much in a week."

Mac nodded.

She talked with Josh for a minute until a group of his buddies came up. She went into the kitchen to make another drink where she seen Whitney saying something in Jake's ear and he laughed. McKenzie remembered Whitney Reynolds from highschool. Mac didn't like the girl then, and damn sure didn't like her now.

There were several people in the kitchen so neither Whitney nor Jake seen her. She made a rum and coke and watched as Whitney put her hands on Jake's chest and desperately flirted with him.

"You know I've always had a thing for you, Jake." Whitney told him.

"Is that right?" He asked with a coy smile.

He was a little buzzed.

"Yeah." She said battering her eyes. "How about later we get out of here and maybe go back to your place?"

McKenzie wanted to throw up.

Jake didn't say anything and finally seen McKenzie. Whitney followed his focus.

"Oh hi, McKenzie." Whitney said turning her attention to McKenzie.

"Whitney."

"I didn't realize you were back in town." Whitney said with a smug smile on her face. "Jake didn't mention it."

McKenzie wanted to wipe that smug look off the girl's face.

"Oh, he didn't, did he?" She asked looking at Jake.

He cleared his throat.

"Well he's all yours, Whit." McKenzie said shrugging. "Been there, done that."

She didn't want it to look like it bothered her.

"Apparently not good enough."

"Uh, excuse me?" McKenzie asked putting her drink on the counter.

"Mac." Jake said putting his hands up.

"Shut up." She told him and then looked back at Whitney. "What did you say?"

"I said that you weren't apparently doing your job, because if you were he wouldn't be looking for better."

"You know what?" She said beginning to walk over to them. "I've had enough of your mouth."

"Woooaaahhh!" Jake said grabbing McKenzie before she could reach Whitney.

"Let me go!"

"Stop it!" Jake said shrugging to hold onto McKenzie. "Calm the fuck down!"

Jake fought getting McKenzie out of the kitchen and outside.

"Mac, stop it." Jake said finally letting her go once they were outside. "That wasn't what it looked like in there."

He was wearing a grey and white plaid quarter length shirt, dark blue jeans, and a black hat cocked on top of his head. She thought to herself that he looked really good tonight.

"What did it look like?" She asked calming down a little. "Jake, I don't care what you do. We're not together so you do whatever you want to. She just kept running that mouth and I was going to shut it for her."

There were a few onlookers looking out at them.

"You can go home with whoever you want to." She told him. "You do your thing and I will do mine."

"Fine." Jake said frustrated.

He walked back inside and she did the same a few minutes later. Everyone at the party kept McKenzie and Whitney away from each other. McKenzie kept pouring back the drinks. The more she drank, the more pissed off she got about Whitney flirting with Jake.

"Hi, McKenzie." Evan Miller smiled coming up to her. "You're as beautiful as ever."

"Aw, thanks Evan." She smiled.

A few minutes later, everyone started to leave. She saw Jake telling everyone bye and he walked out the front door with Whitney. That was it McKenzie has had enough. She pushed past people and headed out the door.

Amber, Chelsea, Josh, Evan and Matt followed them out.

Jake was fixing to unlock his car and was fixing to get in when McKenzie ran up and pushed him up against his car, causing him to drop his keys.

"You crazy bitch." Whitney said from the passenger side.

"Oh, I'm a crazy bitch?" McKenzie said walking around to the other side of the car. "I'll show you a crazy…"

She grabbed a handful of Whitney's fake bleach blonde extensions and started hitting her. McKenzie got picked up quickly by someone but she managed to get a few good hits in and a few strands of Whitney's extensions in the process.

"Mac!" Josh yelled with his arms wrapped around her tightly.

"You're insane!" Whitney yelled to her and tried to hit McKenzie while Josh held up.

Evan and Matt stopped Whitney.

"Yeah but I bet I'll whoop your ass." McKenzie said trying to get out of Josh's grip.

"You need to leave." Matt told Whitney. "With whoever brought you."

Whitney huffed.

"Come on, Whitney…I'll take you home." Evan offered.

Chelsea and Amber was watching the scene by the front porch.

"You were actually going to go home with her?" McKenzie yelled at Jake.

Josh put McKenzie back on her feet and let her go. He still didn't get too far, incase her and Jake started going at it.

"I was giving the girl a ride home, since she didn't drive here."

"You're such a damn liar!"

"Why in the hell do you fucking care?" He yelled at McKenzie.

"I don't you sorry son of a bitch!"

"Could've fooled me." He yelled. "I'm not playing fucking games with you anymore, Mac. You either want me or you don't! I'm tired of trying to win you back!"

The guys joined Amber and Chelsea by the front porch, watching their friends finally blow up at each other.

"Good, give up!" She yelled back. "That's what you do best, Jacob!"

"You're un-fucking-believable." He said snatching his hat off his head and throwing it in his car. "I mean one minute you hate me, the next minute we're sleeping together and then you hate me again. I don't fucking get it, and frankly you're giving me whip-lash!"

Their friends mouths flew open. No one other than Amber knew they had slept together.

"Well welcome to my world, Jacob Harris!" She said crossing her arms. "I was like that the whole time we were together."

"How long do you think they'll scream and argue with each other?" Josh asked.

"I'll give it another 10 minutes." Matt, now sobered up said looking at his watch.

"Why does this feel like déjà vu?" Chelsea asked.

"Because we've seen this before." Amber spoke up. "June 2008 at Ryn's party when they argued about some guy flirting with Mac."

Everyone nodded their heads remembering. Jake and McKenzie loved each other and hardly ever fought before the situation got ugly in 2009-10. When they did fight on occasion, it was mostly out of jealously.

Jake didn't say anything else, he got into his car slamming the door. He started the car and was backing up and Mac kicked his tire.

"You're such an asshole!"

McKenzie woke up the next morning with a major hangover. She stumbled into the kitchen smelling coffee. She ended a big cup of coffee and a few aspirin for her headache. She seen her dad up under the kitchen sink.

"What the hell are you doing?" She asked pouring a cup of coffee and getting some aspirin out of the cabinet.

"Fixing the water leak, what does it look like?" He asked. "Will you hand me that wrench?"

"Dad, you know you're not supposed to be doing that." She sighed handing him the wrench.

"Says who?" He asked. "McKenzie, I had a minor stroke…I'm not dead."

She rolled her eyes. Nothing was going to keep Mark Morris down.

"Did you have fun with Amber?" He asked changing the subject.

"Besides the hangover and fight with Jake…yeah." She told her dad. "We went over to Matt's."

"You and Jake fought?"

"Yep, why do you sound so surprised?" She asked taking the aspirin and a sip of coffee.

He just chuckled.
