Broken Macaroni

Chapter 34

                                                                 Macy's POV

  As I felt the tight grip of the arms release me, I jerked forward out arms length. Seconds later I heard a thump as if someone had hit the ground. In complete relief that I was free, I turned not seeing anyone on the ground but seeing Tucker a few steps from me. Of course, it was Tucker who had made the jerk let me go. No one else would even care enough about me to even notice what had been happen.

 I smiled looking at him, not able to stop smiling even when I tried which was only for a second. I looked down at my outfit remembering how short the skirt was, I pulled it down alittle hoping that Tucker liked my outfit. I didn't know why I had let Kelsey talk me out of my first outfit. My outfit now was more like the one Kelly would wear, and I definately wasn't Kelly nor did I ever want to be.

"Macy, you look amazing" I heard Tucker say, each word getting louder as he got closer.

"Really?" I asked looking up at him, not really sure about the outfit still.

"yes really Macy" he said with a small laugh. "Of course I still think you look amazing in the vans and jeans" he said smiling.

I wrapped my arms around him "Im glad because you will see that Macy more than this one" I said jokingly still looking up at him.

"Thats alright with me, as long as its you" he said leaning down and kissing me.

Holding onto's Tuckers warm muscular arm I tried to forget everything that had happened. I listened to the storys that other players were telling, letting out a few fake giggles to make them think I cared about what they did at summer football camp. It was part of the new group I had been accepted into when I started to date tucker officially. Thinking about everything that was going on at home, My dad, My brother and even with school, I was glad to be away from it all if even for an hour. Glancing up at Tucker I couldnt help but think it was weird we were together but sooo glad that we were. He was my knight in shining armor...and always would be I hope.

Tucker almost always knew when I was thinking about him cause each time I did it seemed like I would get a text or he would glance at me with his perfect smile, the freckles across his nose and cheeks making a smile themselves. His arm pulling from my grip and wrapping around my shoulder making me feel even safer. As I looked up at him I caught what sounded like someone telling me that they loved me, but Tucker's mouth didnt even move.

Glancing around quickly after hearing I saw nothing bout a sea of people, the same people who had been there minutes before maybe even hours before I had even went over to this part of the house. "Whos?" I thought not even noticing the group around me conversation slowing down. I scanned the room seeing a guy in a leather jacket but he was to far from me for it to be him, anyways it wouldnt be like I knew him since I knew basically no one at the party.

"mace, you okay?" I heard tucker say the group silent now but the sounds from the party still filling the house with noise and music.

"uh, um" Pausing for a second thinking what to tell him "uhhmm yeah, its just alot of noise in here" I said shrugging looking back at him. I couldnt really tell him that I thought I heard someone tell me that they loved me.

"alright babe, You can go up to my room if it gets to be too much for you down here" he said trying to help, giving me a look that hinted he wished he could just hide too. 

Taking his invitation to go hide in his room, I waved bye to the others giving a small smile "I'll see you guys later"

Pushing past the crowd just ready to be alone, not have to worry about what people are saying and what would happen to me next if I stayed. I paused half way up the stairs only to see a girl next to Tucker her phone out and his, "really?" I thought shaking my head. After I leave her is trading numbers with another girl, "ughh" I mumbled finishing walking up the stairs pausing at the top feeling my phone.

"Finally she texts me" I thought thinking it was Kelsey who had told me she would come but was a no show so far. Opening it not even reading the number, "I'll be there soon too" Well she had said it so she better keep her word. Pushing it in my pocket still abit annoyed about the girl down with Tucker but not worried enough to go back to the busy party with all the loud obnoxious kids my age.

Opening the door I found Ace asleep on Tuckers bed, "lazy dog" I said walking in locking the door behind me knowing Tucker had a key and would be able to get in. Not even bothering to push Ace off the bed I laid next to him pulling the covers up and over myself trying to forget what had happened and the fact that my best friend was still a no show. Some stranger telling me he loved me but not even knowing the guy, my outfit not being something I would have ever picked and a headache from all the played out music.

I turned the tv on flipping to a channel that Ace seemed to like and that would drown out the sound of the party and the yelling from some random guy that was running down the hall.

"that good ace?" I asked not even believing myself that I was talking to a dog.

He scooted closer laying his head on the side of my hip. I liked him even though I myself wouldn't be able to handle a dog his size or a dog that was as needy as him. I laid there listening to a mix of ace's breathing and some cooking show that he was watching. I looked at my phone looking through pictures, most were of me and Tucker or me and Kelsey except one. I laid looking at this photo knowing I hadn't taken it but knowing Kelsey probably did, It was a picture of me and Derek. Sure he annoyed me and he was always teasing me but for a split second I got the same feeling I get when I look at Tucker.

Shaking the thought from my head knowing it was lack of sleep causing this feeling, I went to delete the picture. Just as I touched the screen, Ace snuggled up to me moving my hand from delete to send.

"Great Ace" I said looking at my phone not even sure who I had sent the picture to. I rolled over putting my phone down on the side table and laid looking out the window watching as cars and people still walked towards the house, It was going to be a long time before Tucker came up. I laid there falling asleep, Ace laying against me and still wondering who had said they loved me.
