Chapter Thirty-nine
Mac’s pov
I was baffled by Elena’s sudden outburst; I didn’t quite know what had happened but I felt there was only one person who could have made her that way.
When I arrived at Tisha’s house, her parents weren’t home so I burst through the door and went up the stairs.
I had been to Tisha’s house before and the only reason why I even followed her that day was because I was sex starved and no lady was coming forth.
“What the fuck!!!!?” Tisha reacted as I burst into her room.
“What did you tell Elena?” I asked trying to control my rage
“What wouldn’t I tell her? The poor girl is obviously in love with you and so I needed to save her from the heartbreak that would happen to her if she fell in love with you” The fact that Tisha replied with a rather obvious tone irked me.
“You stupid bitch!! What did you tell her” I could see the fear in her eyes as I took a menacing step over to her.
“Well, I showed her the clip of where you and Noah had made a bet about sleeping with her” I stared at her in disbelief. I didn’t know that she would have captured that moment.
“You are unbelievable!” I commented
“Do you want to hurt that girl’s feelings? Come on now Mac it’s not fair, I was only trying to do her a favor” She said with the Innocent face she always put on while being the manipulative bitch she was coming to the surface.
“Stop the whole crap game, Tisha!! It is obvious that you did this for yourself”
“Myself? I mean I thought I told you I have a boyfriend in college and definitely I like him a lot” I approached her and noticed how uncomfortable she was at the closeness.
“You are just a pathetic liar Tisha. You were just jealous and you know it. The truth is, even though you have a college boyfriend, you can’t still resist my charms and cannot watch another lady come and have me” I said with a smirk on.
“Now listen and listen real quick Tisha. If I ever see you close by a foot to Elena again, I would gladly take your dead body to your boyfriend” She pushed me aside and went to gather some of her clothes on the floor.
“The warning stands and that’s final” I threatened before heading out of her house. Once I was out of the house, I thought of having to go over to Elena’s house as she wouldn’t pick up my call.
I turned on the ignition of my bike and sped off to her house. I wasn’t the type to apologize to girls but Elena was no ordinary girl, she was different from the girls in the school that I had marked off my register.
I could not deny that I had feelings for her, it was the major reason I needed to see; to make amends and explain things to her. Elena was like my addiction, I could not do anything without her.
Elena P. O. V
Time passed but I wasn’t concerned, I felt empty inside and it hurt to know that I was back to the state Dylan put me through before I met Mac. Thinking of it, I could see the similarities between the two; they were both manipulative.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
I heard sounds coming out of my window and I knew he was there. Part of me wanted to see him in my room but the logical part knew that I would break down again, seeing the face of the guy that toiled with my feelings.
“Elena!!” I heard Mac call my name. I wasn’t going to open the window to let him in, Mac was very good at manipulation and he could take his skill to another level in the name of apologizing to me.
“Elena please let’s talk this through” He was causing a nuisance in the neighbourhood and it got me irritated.
I heaved a sigh before getting off my bed to open up the window. Mac was looking hot as ever in those shorts.
“Elena, please let me in,” I heard him say.
“And why would I?”
“Listen, Elena, I need you to understand that whatever Tisha had told you is all a misconception” I knew these were going to be his words. Does he think I would fall for his sweet talks this time? Not a chance in hell.
“Misconception? A misconception that you made a bet with your friend? I bet you were smiling the last time you were here that I had fallen for your tricks” I could see the pain in his eyes but I figured out it might be acting too.
“When were you ever real to me? I thought you would change after that ……..” I paused a bit, I couldn’t tell him I was catching feelings, he would use them to his advantage.
“I know I messed up, that’s why I am here. Let me in” He pleaded once more
“Just go Mac!!! Leave!!!!!” I shouted and closed the window.
He fooled me once, he won’t fool me again. I laid back on the bed and scrolled through my song playlists for Billie Elish songs. It was days like this when I appreciated her songs because they spoke words to me.
Four weeks later
It had been four weeks since my encounter with Mac and to say I had moved on was an understatement, I made sure I had nothing to do with him. Every time he tried to approach me in school, I avoided him at all costs.
When I told Vee about the entire situation, she felt remorseful for me. I regret not listening to Vee when I had the opportunity to.
The final of the competition was tomorrow and apparently, my school had made it to the final to square off against the Liam school. The final had been the major topic for discussion and I was glad about it.
When the rumor of Mac and I not being together reached the ears of every student in the school, most girls were happy about it.
Tisha had taken her time to make sure to give out a fabricated story about how Mac and I stopped talking and she made it look like I was the gold digger.
Although I wasn’t surprised about Tisha’s lies, I was surprised that no one had paid close attention to Mac who was the real manipulator.
“Hey,” I was startled once again by a familiar voice. It seemed for the past few days, Mac had been stalking me; he was everywhere I went.
“I know you detest my presence right now, but I need you to grant me one favour” I looked at him to see the plea in his eyes.
“Tomorrow is the finals and I wish above everything that you come” He dropped a ticket on the table before leaving.
I sat there, staring at the ticket. There was no way I would go to the finals, I was already recuperating and if I do take his offer, it would be an avenue for him to take advantage of the gesture.
I was about to leave the cafeteria when I noticed a golden bracelet on the floor. They certainly belonged to Mac. I picked it up and admired how beautiful it looked; he must have dropped it while leaving. I dropped it in my bag and made a mental note to drop it off at his house tomorrow when he would be at the game.
