" Holden you have got to believe me, I didn't mean for any of this to happen", Megan said immediately, not wanting Holden to think she was trying to bully the nerd, she just wanted to know something but a whole squad and some foolish running caused a ruckus.
" Well then what was going on because, your girl squad and you seem to be chasing something way important and oh my god, Mabel just happens to be in front of all this", Jace said spicing up the issue.
The girls had gone quiet. They were in the gazes of both brothers, the school's most popular and important figures. Why the nerd was hanging with these two at lunch wasn't their concern anymore. They looked down in shame refusing to meet their gazes.
Megan watched Holden look at her with little to no remorse before walking away along with the nerd and his brother. She couldn't stay there anymore and she walked away from the girls who had started gossiping again.
She headed straight to her cute lexus jeep, got in and drove straight home. On her arrival, she kissed her Grand Dad on his cheeks, said a few words and headed up to her bedroom.
Megan plumped on the bed tiredly and brought out a picture from underneath her pillow. It was a picture of little Holden of eight years smiling so beautiful. Why did he always have to hurt her so much? Hadn't she done enough already? She began to cry.
" Okay speak up Mabel, what did you do? because I know clearly that Megan didn't lie when she said she didn't fucking cause this?", Holden said as they stopped in front of her car. Mabel wanted to glare at him for using all these inappropriate languages but she controlled herself.
She gritted her teeth and wore back her glasses which she had taken off in a bit of her panic and run session.
" What did I do? oh no, what if it's what you did?", she asked him and Holden furrowed his brows. " What do you mean?", he asked and she had no choice but then explain to him everything.
Jace had gone to get his car so she was the only one with Holden.
" Holden how do you expect both girls and guys to react when the two most important figures of this school, sits with a nerd during lunch break.... Don't expect things to go on normal because, your fame and popularity is mixing with my life and people start wanting answers. You stopped them today but what about tomorrow?", she asked him and he just stared at her with an impassive look on his face making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Jace came around with the car and Holden walked to it but before he got in, he finally said something.
" Deal with the reviews in private so we have our lives to ourselves and never get to see each other again", he said, got in the car and they zoomed off.
Mabel walked straight to her car and got in. Yeah that's right, she needed peace and what better way to have it than not seeing them ever. Since they came into her life, it had always been dramas but now she wanted everything back to the way it was, too much change wasn't good for her at all.
She wanted peace and that she got..
..................
Three days had passed since she saw Jace and Holden and ever since then, not once did she cross paths with the two brothers and her life had gone back to being peaceful and refreshing.
Other than sending them reviews of chapters on a daily basis and working her way to her perfect A nothing far happened.
The buzzing from her phone distracted her from the book she was reading at the hallway and she checked to see that it was a notification that her favorite motivational show was airing.
She plumped down on the floor, connected her wireless bluetooth to her phone and started watching. Today's topic was about how wrong it was when we took the easy way out. She nodded her head in attention.
'Easy way out' that sounded familiar, yes, the word reminded her of Holden and Jace, always taking the easy way out and well she was helping them.
The show finally came to an end but left Mabel with a guilty and unsettled heart. She had been helping Jace and Holden take the silly route even when it was so wrong. She had to fix this now.
At the ring of school bell, students started coming out of their classrooms and she quickly made her way to her history teacher's class, she had a confession to make.
She met him going through some script, he was busy but he still paid attention to her all the way. He stared at her amused and disappointed at the same time. She could tell from the endless sighs coming from him and she brought her head down in shame.
She told him she wanted to fix it all, tutor her student for real and get her extra credits the right way which he agreed to. He was nice enough to let her off with a warning expecting her to do the right thing.
Mabel thanked him and hurried back to the hallways. She would go to Holden and Jace's home and tell them of her plan. she sighed, she should have never taken the easy way out, she had to help Holden the right way.
On her way, she heard a couple of girls gossiping about someone. Megan Pierce.
" I heard that Megan hadn't been in school since on Monday. Do you guys think something's wrong?"
" What are you saying Margarita? After Holden completely ignored her, the poor bitch couldn't take it so she skipped school how immature"
" Let's leave Megan for Megan. I hate that girl you know, she's such a pretentious bitch"
Mabel listened to the girls and sighed. Girls will be girls am I right? They are busy gossiping Megan but when she comes back they would return back to being her little minions who do her dirty work.
But it seemed serious. It was true that she observed Megan and Holden and it looked like Megan had a huge crush on Holden. Could it be that she was broken because of Holden's constant rejection.
She shook her head to remove the thoughts and hurried to her car. How was Megan Pierce her concerns or problem? She just had to get to Holden and Jace's house that's all but her conscience didn't let her.
She sighed, grumbled and got into her car. Now she had to head to Megan's home to check up on her. Now she realized, she didn't even have Megan's address.
She brought out her phone and opened her Facebook page. She barely came here because her friends amount was Zero but she needed to search someone. She typed in Megan Pierce and multiple results came out. She picked the Megan she wanted and went straight for Megan's about info.
After getting Megan's address, she turned on her Gps and headed to Megan. God help her that Megan was at home and probably not on a mini vacation.
