"Adriel, I've been wanting to talk to you about something," Mason mumbled after he walked over to Adriel's seat. "What is it?" She inquired. "It's about the way things are between you and Stacey.""Yeah me too. I don't like the way things are between you both."Mason let out a sigh," I don't as well but she started the whole thing.""Stacey is just upset because she thinks you hid the fact that Scarlett is your girlfriend from her.""What?" Mason mumbled his eyes crinkling in confusion. "Adriel, Scarlett isn't my girlfriend. It was just a misunderstanding. I tried all I could to explain that to her, but she never cared to listen to me."..............."How did it go Finn?" Adriel inquired the moment she got to where Finn was. They had both planned to speak to Mason and Stacey separately. Finn spoke to Stacey about sorting out her differences with Mason while Adriel spoke to Mason. "Stacey is saying it's Mason's fault, and I can't blame her, not after hearing what the problem is.
"Mason your Dad will be coming here next week." Mason's Mom informed him. Mason's face turned sour the moment he heard those words, he dropped his spoon on his plate and lifted his eyes to gaze at his mother. "Mom, and you didn't tell me; you just decided to invite him over?" "I thought we've talked about this, Mason. Please try to forgive your Dad. He's still your father no matter what." She mumbled. "Mom, I'm not upset because of what he did to me but what he did to you. Yet you are still worried about him." "Darling, to err is human, and to forgive is Divine, and I think your Dad has realized his mistakes, and he is ready to change." She told him.Mason huffed shaking his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe his Mom was falling for his Dad's lies once again. "Mom, he has started to deceive you again; remember the last time you thought he was a changed person, but it was disastrous for you, not this time, Mom." Mason objected. "Mason, please do this for my sake; he will make
"You are alive Stacey?" Her Mom managed to mutter. Stacey stared at her mom and sister with a puzzled look, surprised by the shocked expressions on their faces. What kind of a question was that she thought to herself?"Mom, you sent me to go get Pizza and milkshakes, not die," Stacey chuckled, but they still had the same look on their faces, as if they had just seen a ghost. "She is a ghost," Chelsey mumbled, walking to me; she stretched her hand towards Stacey and closed her eyes before touching her while Stacey looked on confused."Mom, here is what you sent me to buy," Stacey told her keeping the pizza and milkshakes on the table."I don't need it just take it out of my sight." Her Mom yelled. Stacey sighed in frustration, all she went through just to get the pizza and milkshake was in vain. But she was glad that everything was back to normal between her and Mason now. ......"Hi Mom," Mason smiled after walking into the living room. His Mom was seated on the couch. "Mason, are
Stacey took in the guy's features as he walked towards them; his charisma gave bad boy vibes. His dark brows were actually graceful, and he had beautiful black hair; on his right ear was a silver earring. The female students began to mutter amongst themselves," he's so handsome, he is hot, he has always been," others added. "Yeah, he is but a bad boy."Stacey was stunned when he walked up to her. "Hey, cutie," He mumbled, smiling. She batted her lashes continuously, wondering if he was actually speaking to her; she noticed the students staring at her like she had committed a crime.She returned the smile and stared at him trying to recall where she had seen him from. "You don't recognize me, do you? Well, we met in the grocery store some days back, and before I could ask your name, you ran off." He smiled. "It's amazing that we are meeting again." He added. "Oh, sorry about that day," Stacey chuckled nervously, feeling embarrassed. After Adriel was done using the restroom, she
"Dad, what do you plan on doing?" Stacey asked."I'm sorry, Stacey, but I can't tell you; when they get back, you will find out." Her Dad told her."Dad, are you upset with me?" Stacey asked.Her Dad smiled, "Of course not, princess, I'm not. It's not your fault that you have a good heart, some people are just so cruel, they take advantage of kind-hearted people." He mumbled."Stacey," Mrs Luna yelled after she stepped into the living room with Chelsey from her supermarket. "Who's shouting?" Mr McGrath asked as he came downstairs. Chelsey and her Mom were shocked to their bones since they had already planned to make Stacey's life a living hell, but he didn't let us know that he would be back today. Moreover, he travelled yesterday. "Honey, when did you come back?" Mrs Luna asked hugging him."You're surprised, right? Is it because your plans won't work anymore?" He asked. "Honey, what do you mean by that?" She asked putting a smile on her face. "Dad, welcome back," Chelsey mumb
"Yes, it's me, Luna; why are you surprised? Riley is here to stay." The lady in front of her smiled. "Huh, but you didn't inform me that you would come," Mrs Luna mumbled. "Do I have to? Or do you want me to....." Riley threatened. "No, please don't. You are welcome." Mrs Luna smiled. "Luna, move away," Riley chuckled, pushing Mrs Luna aside and walking into the living room. "Why do you look so worried? Are you okay?" Riley asked. "McGrath wants to file for a divorce." Mrs Luna muttered.Riley chuckled," Seems like nemesis is gonna catch up with you sooner than I expected." She uttered. "Are you going to mock me, Riley, or help me out?" Mrs Luna asked getting frustrated. "What should I do about i,t, Luna? You know when McGrath's mind is already made up, it's impossible to change it." Riley shrugged. "Please,e Rile,y you can at least plead with him not to divorce me; I will change if that is what he wants. I'll try not to do the wrong things anymore." Mrs Luna pleaded. "Luna
The next day at school "Mr Owens, please don't call me again; I've told you I'm not ready for your lies. You've done and said enough." Mason said into the phone. "Please, son, I'll be coming over next week; I've missed you and your Mom so much." Mr Owens said. " I don't wanna speak with you." "Maso, I'm ready to make amends." "Don't ever call me again," Mason yelled and then hung up. He was boiling with so much rage that he threw his phone and plopped on the floor, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Mason," Stacey called running in. She walked to the place where the phone was, she picked it up, and it was broken. She walked to him, wrapping her arms around him as she patted his back; all she wanted to do at that moment was comfort him. She was so saddened seeing him that way, that wasn't the Mason she knew. "I'm sorry," he muttered when he pulled away from the hug. "Why are you apologising Mason? Are you okay?" Stacey asked as she wiped the tears on his face with her palm.
Years later STACEY"Welcome sweeties, how was school?" I asked hugging the kids. "School was great except that Brendon bugged me all day," Glyndon whined."It's the other way round, she's the mischievous one." Brendon chuckled. "See mom, why does he have to be so annoying?" Glyndon complained. "I don't see Ryan anywhere," I mumbled my eyes looking around. "Oh, his teacher said that his grandma picked him up already," Brendon told me. "Hey, honey." Mason kissed my cheeks. "Welcome, Brendon said mom picked Ryan up from school," I muttered. "Yeah, that was what the teacher told me when I went to pick him up but I'm surprised Mom didn't inform any of us." He mumbled confusedly. "Is it my mom or your Mom?" I asked worriedly. "I'll give your Mom a call you call my Mom ok," Mason mumbled. "What did my mom say?" I asked Mason after I was done talking to his mom. "She said she didn't pick him up," Mason said. "What did my Mom say?" He asked."She said the same thing, oh my goodness
Sleepover."Everyone is here, I wonder what's taking Blake, Scarlett and Chelsey so long, he said he was on his way," Violet muttered pacing around the room."Are you worried about them or Blake?" Adriel teased"Adriel!" I called glaring at her."I was just saying." She mumbled smiling."You should stay calm, he would be here with Chelsey and Scarlett anytime soon." I smiled walking to her"Yes, you are being a baby now, you spoke to him a few minutes ago." Rylee chuckled making Violet roll her eyes at her."I don't blame her, she's in love so I understand," Camilla mumbled a blush formed on her cheeks"Speaking of love, you understand how is that? You are in love as well?" Adriel asked staring at her.Camilla didn't get a chance to answer because the doorbell rang."It might be Blake, I'll go have a look." Violet grinned running to the door.We walked behind her. When she opened the door, it was indeed Bla
Days later... Stacey"Stacey, I have a suggestion." A gigantic grin spread across Adriel's face, and her eyes lit up...I hope she isn't planning any mischief. "What suggestion?" I asked staring at her.."Since we'll be the only ones at home this weekend, why don't we have a sleepover, like a girls night. We can invite our close friends to come over." She mumbled holding my hand."That's a good idea but we need to take permission and inform Mason, Jayden and Finn about it." I smiled..."We have to invite Cheyenne, there might be a chance of her and Jayden becoming friends, what do you say?"." I agree with you, it will be great but Jayden wouldn't let us invite her." My smile faded into a frown."Don't get worried over little things." Adriel smirked, "Do we ever ask his permission? Even if we do we never take no for an answer.""Well, that's true." I chortled."We have to begin with the preparations once we
Party time.Turns out Blake is the guy Violet has been talking about."You two know each other?" Jayden and Chelsey asked surprised."Yes, we met at a coffee shop Weeks ago," Violet told us."Blake you mean she's the girl you've always been talking about," Scarlett asked."This is good, finally we won't be bugged about this cute guy she met at a coffee shop that she can't stop talking about." Jayden teased.Violet head was bent, her cheeks turned red, can't believe violet can be this shy."This is amazing, you finally found her. We knew her along but we had no idea she was the one you've been looking for." Chelsey sighed."We should go check on other things," I said to the others."But everything is set." They countered."Let's give them time to talk," I whispered.They nodded in agreement, we walked away leaving Blake and Violet behind."Why did you have to make us leave?" Adriel whined.
StaceyToday is Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary. Almost everything has been put in place, ready for the dinner party the decorators did a beautiful job, just a few more things to do. Mom and Dad are so excited about today, everyone is in a good mood. Aunt Jane and Riley came here right after the church service."Stace, we haven't even had time to talk." Mason stopped me when I was about to go into the kitchen."Mason we've been talking ever since, we can talk later, I have to help out in the kitchen.""I can help you out so you can finish early and then we have enough time to spend together," Mason suggested."I would have agreed but you know, you and Jayden have been banned from coming into that kitchen till we are done doing what we have to." I smiled."I know but isn't that unfair of Aunt Riley, we apologized but still got kicked out.""I warned you two when you were being mischievous but you guys never listened, you'll just have t
We arrived at the McGrath's, the residence was beautifully decorated, there was still about forty minutes before the party starts. Mrs Liv and Mr MrGrath looked so elegant. Mrs Liv was clad in a black and silver mermaid gown and silver heels. Mr MrGrath also had a black and silver tuxedo on and black shoes. We said our pleasantries, handed our presents to Mr & Mrs McGrath, soon mom, Dad, Finn's and Mason's sat down having a discussion, they seemed so engrossed and happy about all they were saying."Aunt Jane is there anything we can help you out with?" I and Adriel asked."Not really, even if there is I'm not letting you girls ruin your beautiful dresses, I'll be upstairs, call me if you need anything." Aunt Jane muttered before walking away.The guests were yet to arrive, the tables were set and the whole place lit up beautifully. The decoration was glamorous as well."Aren't you going to see Mason?" Adriel asked."Aunt Jane said he's getting
While they were eating, Mason's parents walked in, they had huge smiles on their faces when they saw them."Wow, it's so delightful seeing you all here." Mr and Mrs McGrath smiled"Welcome." They all said."Thank you and how are you all? Your parents?" Mr and Mrs McGrath asked."We all are fine our parents as well." They responded."You should join us." Aunt Riley said."Thanks but that won't be necessary, we had something to eat while we were out." Mr McGrath uttered."Luke, I'm glad to see you having lunch with everyone but I'm sad it's without us, you would always decline when I asked you to join us." Mrs McGrath smiled."I'm sorry." Uncle Luke muttered."Don't be, seeing you here is wonderful. Whoever was able to convince you deserves an award." Mrs McGrath said."Yeah, Aunt Riley really does. I was surprised she was able to convince uncle, Luke." Stacey said."Riley did?" Mrs McGrath asked surprised.
School had just closed, I, Mason, Finn and Adriel were all waiting for Scarlett and Chelsey at the parking lot."Where are Scarlett and Chelsey?" Mason asked."They'll be here soon, how do you think we all should go?" I asked"Why won't they just take a cab to the house? Do they have to come with us?" Mason asked frowning."Come on Mason, be nice, there is enough space in the car for them to come along or if you feel uncomfortable you can drive with Finn in his car, then I, Chelsey, Adriel and Scarlett will go in your car?"Mason chuckled"Who would be driving the car? Definitely not you right?""Don't worry about that, I'll drive." Adriel said smiling."I'm relieved now." Mason sighed."Are you sure Adriel should drive?" Finn asked."Don't worry Finn, I'll be fine, I'm not a kid," Adriel said glancing at me."Fine, please drive carefully," Finn said holding Adriel's hand."I will,
Chelsey had it in mind to visit Carter's residence after school but she needed to inform her parents before doing so, they had just finished having breakfast and Chelsey decided to ask for her mom's permission, her dad had left for the office already."Mom, I would love to visit Mason's house after school, it's been a while since I've gone there." She mumbled."You can go, send our regards to the McGrath's, but how do you plan to get there?" Her mom asked."I was thinking of going there with Stacey," Chelsey replied."That will be fine." Mom smiled."So it means, I'll be stuck with Blake in this house after school." Scarlett sighed."You can come along if you want." Chelsey offered."I'll be happy to do so, thank you." Scarlett smiled."We'll be on our way now, bye mom." Chelsey and Scarlett hugged their mom before going out.They met Blake standing beside the car, he smiled on seeing them."Finally you girls
