Chapter 25: Happy Halloween

*1 month later.
McKenna POV

"Hey McKenna, are you and Jj going to the Halloween party tonight?" Kiara asks as all of us are sitting together in the library during study hall.

"Yes, even though I don't want to go." I mumble, shaking my head.

"Why don't you wanna go?"

"Because I just don't, alright Kie? Why the hell do you have to press every single little thing?" I snap, standing up right as the bell rings.

I storm out of the library, practically sprinting out to my car in the parking lot.

The reason why I don't wanna go to the Halloween party later is because Halloween is my dad and I's all time favorite holiday, and he's only missed two of them my entire life.

I wait impatiently with my car running the entire time I wait on Jj to get in the passenger's seat.

"Why'd you snap at Kie?" Jj asks as we're on the way home.

"Fuck!" I thump the steering wheel, shaking my head. "I didn't mean to, it's just Halloween was my dad and I's favorite holiday to celebrate together..."

"And this year he can't celebrate with you." Jj says, and I nod.

As I'm talking with Jj, Kie, and Pope, my favorite song comes on. So naturally I start dancing and singing along.

Cross my heart and hope to die, burn my lungs and curse my eyes. I've lost control and I don't want it back. I'm going numb, I've been hijacked. It's a fucking drag.

I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you. So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do.

Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine. Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine.

It's better to burn than to fade away, it's better to leave than to be replaced. I'm losing to you, baby, I'm no match. I'm going numb, I've been hijacked. It's a fucking drag.

I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you. So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do.

Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine. Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine.

Just one more hit and then we're through, 'cause you could never love me back. Cut every tie I have to you, 'cause your love's a fucking drag, but I need it so bad. Your love's a fucking drag, but I need it so bad.

Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine. Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine.
