“Good morning Macy! Ready to sign these papers and take your daughter home for the first time?!?” She asked in complete and utter excitement!

“More than anything! I am so excited Lia! I am shaking!” She reached out and embraced Lia in an enthusiastic hug. They sat down and signed papers as fast as possible, they were both so thankful for this all coming together, it was perfect timing, now Egypt would get to have Christmas with her own family!

“We are done signing papers Macy... congratulations, i’ll go get her darling,” Lia said in a very comforting voice, relief blanketed Macy and Lia, they were both so happy, and so ready for this to finally happen.

         Out of the bedroom came Egypt, with tears welling up in her eyes, she dropped her little suitcase with her doll and few personal items in it, and she ran and jumped into Macy’s arms. She embraced her so tightly, and just squeezed her, holding back tears was now impossible, unrealistic, she just couldn’t do it. Tears were flowing out of everybody’s eyes, Macy finally had a little girl, everything was ok, life was perfect.

         “Thank you so much Lia, for helping me with this, and being so supportive and helpful, you are so amazing, and I will take good care of her, and I will love her so much, I promise.” Macy humbly expressed her gratitude to Lia one more time.

“Are you ready to go sweetheart?” She asked Egypt.

“I’ve been ready for years mommy!” Macy wanted to cry again, she was a mommy, it felt so amazing to be called that, and to have someone that she could love unconditionally.

         They left the shelter and gave one last wave out the window to Lia as they drove away, it was the most amazing feeling Macy had ever experienced, to have a daughter of her own.

“I don’t need to look any further, don’t bring me anymore girls, I want Egypt, I love her, she is the one!” Butterflies fluttered in her stomach and she felt like dancing for joy, Macy was overwhelmed, only $1,300 and Egypt was all hers! She had finally found her girl.

CHAPTER 5

         Within two weeks Macy had raised the money through lots of kind donations. She was ready to officially sign adoption papers and bring Egypt home!

The morning was finally here! Macy jumped out of bed! Dressed herself in pants and a red t-shirt, poured her coffee and she bolted out the door! Once she was in her car she knew that any red light keeping her from getting there faster had better watch out! And any driver holding up traffic would get the finger! She was so excited, her heart was pounding!

With all the money she had raised she had been able to move up a size in the apartment complex, instead of a one bedroom one bath, she had a two bedroom, two and a half bath! She had it all set up and ready! She had a room ready for Egypt, completed with a leopard bedspread, red curtains, and a little fake crystal chandelier. She had even bought her a whole new wardrobe!

Here she was, pulling into the Life Change campus, she parked her car in one of the furthest parking spots.

“Just breathe Macy, just breathe,” she told herself overwhelmed with complete excitement, she took a deep breath in, and let it out. Now she was calm and collected, she opened her car door, took one more deep breath and approached the entrance.

         She entered and there, ready to welcome her was Lia, 

November 7th, 2012 (251 words!!!)

“This is Egypt, she is eleven years old, she lost her parents in Katrina, they were all huddled on the roof of her house where her parents had tied her to the chimney to keep her safe from the high winds. When all of a sudden an 80mph gust of wind grabbed both of her parents, pulling them into the rushing water, where they drown. She has been living on the streets until we found her about a week ago. So I will leave you with her for fifteen minutes.” Once Lia finished talking she exited the room, leaving the little girl and Macy alone.

         Egypt didn’t take her seat, she just stood there for a few seconds gazing deep into Macys’ eyes, when suddenly, she just ran up and hugged Macy. She squeezed Macy so tight, she just wanted to feel loved so bad after losing her parents a few years prior. So Macy just held her there, holding tears back to hard, she couldn’t even imagine watching your parents be swept away like that. Watching them scream and die, and not being able to do anything, because Egypt was only four at the time.  

Macy knew that she wanted an eight year old, but she had quickly fallen in love with Egypt, she was very beautiful, and so broken, and very lovey, which is exactly what Macy needed. After they had talked for a few minutes, Macy just got up and left the room, off to find Lia.

CHAPTER 4

         A little over a month passed, it was December 1st, and Christmas was fast approaching. Macy only need $1,300 left till she could officially adopt a little girl. She had been to the shelter many times, but just couldn’t find the right girl, but she was going again today, in hopes that the right girl would be there.

         She pulled into the Life Change shelter at 10:30am, and she just sat there for a moment, staring into the distance, just hoping that she would find the girl, what if she never did? And all of this was just for nothing, all of the wonderful people that have donated would have given their money for nothing!

“STOP IT MACY STOP IT! just keep your thoughts positive! YOU WILL FIND THE RIGHT GIRL!” Macy scolded herself. She thrust the car door open and walked into the shelter in determination, with her head held high!

“Well hello again Macy! You are looking rather darling today!” Lia said as usual.

“Are you here to look at our new girls? We have acquired four new little girls, ages 4, 7, 8, and 11, I know you prefer 8, so i hope you like them! Come on back!” Lia told Macy.

“Alright Lia, thank you, I have a very good feeling about today, in all honestly I believe that today is the day! So lets go find me a little girl!”

They entered through a colorful hallway, the walls were layered in coloring pages that the little girls of the shelter had colored over the past 10 years the organization had been open.

“We have never thrown away one drawing ever,” Lia happily informed Macy. They soon entered the girls bedroom, wall to wall were bunkbeds. Just one big room filled with fifty little girls, all broken, all homeless, and all without a family. Why was it so hard for Macy to pick one? They were all so great! All so young and talented, and so cheerful, all they wanted was to be loved.

         “I will bring out the four girls you haven’t met into the conference room to you.” Lia motioned to the door into the conference room and Macy entered. It was a little room, with a table in the middle, and two chairs on one side and one on the other.

“Hey Macy, so I was going to wait to do this till the Christmas party but after I saw your facebook status last night I decided right now would be the best time to do it. So, congratulations Macy! You have been promoted to assistant manager! Your salary will double and your Christmas bonus check is much bigger! And I want to give it to your early if you don’t mind!” Macy was stunned, she was not expecting this at all, and she didn’t know how to even start thanking Darcy.

“Um… YES! I’d love the promotion and I’d love my bonus check now! Thank you so so so much Darcy! You’re the best! This is so amazing! I don’t even know what to say!”

“You don’t need to say anything Macy! Here! Just take this check! It’s your bonus! And take this check too! The whole staff pitched in some money to help give you a little push start!” The bonus check was signed for $500, and the check from all of her friends was for $1,200!

“But that’s not all Macy! We put up a donation box for you at the front desk!” Macy looked over at the desk; there was a bright pink sign that had black writing on it that said;

“Donations accepted to help Macy Lively raise money to adopt a little girl whom lost her family in Hurricane Katrina!” Macy was speechless, she was so thankful; she just stood there in aw! Darcy gave her a key to the donation box and told her that she can empty it at the end of every day.

“You better start finding yourself a little girl! I think you will have the money you need very fast!” Darcy told her as she gave her a big hug.

November 4th, 2012 (268 words!!!)

The night finally came to an end, and Macy said her goodbyes and handed her ticket to the valet, she got in her car and headed straight to a McDonalds, all she wanted at the moment was Big Mac and Coke, and that’s exactly what she got. As she sat in a corner booth stuffing her face with fries she pondered on the night she had. And she found herself broken hearted. Right then and there she decided that she is going to put money aside from every paycheck, and she is going to save up for a house, then she would save money to adopt a little girl. Although she knew it would take a very long time to get that kind of money, it was what she had to do.

When she got home she posted a status on her facebook right away, it read;

“I went to a banquet dinner tonight for an adoption organization called Life Change, it broke my heart, I decided that I am going to save money, I will first save for a house, then a girl. So I guess what I’m asking is if anybody knows of any place that I could put in some extra hours to make some extra cash? Thanks guys, just message me or give me a call if you hear of anything!”

That was it, she changed into some pajamas, and she flopped onto her bed, she texted Alli goodnight and turned off the light ready to start another day.

              When she clocked into work the next morning her boss Darcy pulled her aside.

November 3rd, 2012 (250 words!!!)

Fish, it was fish? That was what they decided to serve? FISH?!? The one meat that Macy hated! It is definitely an acquired taste, and she never happened to acquire it! But after she examined other peoples happy reactions she knew that just like the tea, she was going to have to force herself to eat it and pretend to like it.

“Damn this sucks! How could anybody like this? I just don’t get rich people!” Macy typed in a text to Alli while she was in the bathroom trying to escape the sophistication for a moment, even if it was in a bathroom. Then again, this restroom was just as big as her house! There was a freaking couch in there for goodness sakes! After a few minutes of gathering herself back together she reentered the ballroom, and sat back down at her spot, welcomed back by the fish still lying on her plate. She finally just finished it, quickly, but still politely. She was trying so hard not to gag.

“Ok ladies and gentlemen! We will now start our presentation that you have been waiting for! Please direct your attention to the screens behind me.” Lia pointed back at the screens and made her way off stage. The lights faded, and the projector placed the footage on the big white screen, it was a long depressing video showing what happened in Hurricane Katrina, and introduced some of the girls looking for homes and a family in the video.

November 2nd, 2012 (311 words!!!)

Two waiters arrived at the table with a tray of plates, they were all covered in salads, of course, appetizer before meal, Macy really wasn’t used to this. Her Top Ramen and Macaroni and Cheese every night didn’t come with an appetizer, unless it was a bag of Lays. The salad looked like a master piece, it had avocado, banana peppers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and feta cheese crumbled all over it, and to top it off, it was garnished in an expensive balsamic vinaigrette.

“Oh no!” She was freaking out in her head!

“There are two forks! Which one do I take?!? I knew I shouldn’t have come to this! What if I use the wrong one and make a fool of myself!” She was losing it! A sweat was coming on, this was not good, before she picked up the wrong one she secretly examined what Lia did. She picked up the outside one first, and so did everybody else! So she did too, either she was doing it right, or they were all doing it wrong, so she assumed it was definitely the right way! She politely ate her salad, and placed a sugar cube in her bland tea, even though if she was home alone she would have used the whole tray of cubes, she hated tea, but knew she had to pretend to like it, even without more than one cube of sugar.

“How do people live like this everyday? Do they actually like this stuff? Or are they just convinced that it makes them more fancy smancy if they ate certain foods? I bet they go home and eat like pigs, and never even touch tea! It’s like they are all fake, like they are in a daze! Damn what I would do for a Coke right now.” Macy was driving herself insane with her thoughts.

November 1st, 2012 (372 words!!!)

She pulled up to the hotel and a valet kindly helped her out of her car and took her keys and he handed her a ticket, 421 was her car number. She took a deep breath and entered the building, she then made her way to the ballroom. As she walked in she marveled at the beauty of the room, huge elegant chandeliers hung from the ceiling and the red and blue patterned carpets made her feet feel so comfortable and supported. Windows surrounded the whole room looking out over the little town, they were clothed in beautiful long flowing black drapes from ceiling to floor. Although why there was such a magnificent hotel in little Primwood she would never understand, but she was happy it was there, she had never been somewhere so beautiful.

“Macy?” A voice from behind her hesitantly asked.

“Yes? Oh hello! How are you?” It was Lia; she was wearing a black floor length gown with white satin gloves. It was simple and elegant, just stunning.

“I’m wonderful darling! Just wonderful! I wasn’t sure if that was you or not, I’ve never seen you dressed up before! Although we have only met once about a week or so ago at the mall. Well anyways, I am so happy to have you here! Our table is number 1 up front! Oh! And this is my husband George! George this is Macy, the lovely lady I was telling you about with all of the coincidental events that happened leading her here!”

“Hello, it’s very nice to finally meet you, my wife has been very excited to have you here.” George shook her hand, he was a tall man with thick grey hair, that was combed very nicely. He wore a black suit with a deep red tie and white button up shirt, very classy and expected.

“Well come along darling! Come to our table with us! We will all sit down and be ready to be served!” Lia loudly and obnoxiously announced

“Man she was a peppy one, I hope I can put up with it all night.” Macy nervously thought. They made their way to the front of the room to their table. Macy felt out of place

CHAPTER 3

              7am, Macy sits up in bed and looks at the calendar, October 28th; it was the day of the banquet. She was strangely excited, but at the same time, butterflies took over her stomach, something just wasn’t sitting right about this. But she had already spent $60 on a dress at Macys and $40 on a pair of Fiona heels at Payless. Her dress was a deep purple satin, which brought out her covert green eyes. It was knee length and A line with a low V neck, it flowed beautifully and had a silver broach on a black waist sash. She paired it with some midnight blue open toed two-inch heels, on the front the fabric was pulled into a divine knot. She couldn’t wait to put it all together with her hair and makeup tonight; Macy didn’t get to dress up often, because the library never had formal events.

              Macy picked up the phone and pulled out Mrs. Hensworths’ business card with her cell number on it that she had put in her coat pocket a week prior at the mall. She punched in the numbers and cautiously pressed call.

“Hello, Lia Hensworth speaking,” she quickly answered the phone on the second ring.

“Hi Mrs. Hensworth it’s Macy Lively, I was just calling to let you know that I will be attending the banquet tonight and wanted to make sure I would still be sitting at your table?”

“Oh hello Miss Lively! It’s so great to hear from you! And please call me Lia! Yes we still have your seat saved at our table and are very excited to spend some time with you and get to know you!” She excitedly pronounced.

“Well thank you very much Mrs…. I mean, Lia, I am very excited for tonight and I am very excited to get to know you to, thank you so much, I will see you tonight! Oh, and call me Macy.” She happily responded.

“Alright Macy! Thanks for calling! I will see you tonight darling!” And they both hung up.

“I sure do hope I don’t’ end up talking like Lia by the end of the night… darlingggg psh, who calls people darling?” Macy giggled to herself.

More novel! this is continued straight off from where i left in the last post :)

“What was that all about?” Alli questioned after walking in silence for a few minutes.

“It was nothing, well, I don’t know.” Then Macy proceeded to inform Alli on everything that had happened within the last two days.

“Well what do you think about it? Do you want a kid?” Even though Alli was a ditzy blonde, she knew how to straighten up and talk seriously when she needed to, and she was always there for Macy.

“That’s the thing! I just don’t know! I’d love to have a daughter, one that I could wake up to every morning, and make her breakfast, but I just don’t think I’m ready, I always expected to just get married and one day just have one of my own. I never thought I’d be single my whole life with an adopted little girl.” Macy explained to Alli.

“Well life isn’t what we plan for it to be Macy, maybe that isn’t what your purpose in life is, maybe you’re still single so that you can save a little girl who lost her family, and be a loving mother to her, if it’s meant to be, then things will happen to make sure it works out.”

“Thanks Alli, I’ll look into it, I’ll go to the banquet, and we’ll see what happens, and I’ll keep you updated for sure. Now can we stop talking drama and just shop? I need to find a nice dress to wear to the banquet.”

They loved to look at the new booths that moved into the mall every weekend, they always played with the remote helicopters, and got their makeup and hair done, and ate every sample they could get! As they examined the new booths as Macy looked up, to look at the booth in front of her, and she gave a smile to the lady in the stand with a name tag reading “Lia Hensworth.”

“That name sounds familiar,” Macy thought to herself, then she looked at the sign, Life Change, it was the adoption agency! Oh no! She quickly escaped into Forever 21, hoping that Lia didn’t recognize her. Soon she realized that they have never met in person, so she wouldn’t have recognized her anyways.

“Wow, now I feel like a dumb blonde,” she mumbled, not realizing that Alli was standing right next to her, she desperately hoped she hadn’t heard her say that. Although deep down, she could tell by the look on Alli’s face that she did hear, but Alli was too sweet to ever say anything about it, or acknowledge how rude it was that Macy would say something like that.

“I’m sorry Alli, that was so rude and out of line,” Macy quickly apologized.

“Don’t worry about it, I get it every day… I’m used to it.” that only made Macy feel even more horrible, Alli was really hurt, Macy didn’t know what was wrong with her self, she never said rude things, especially on impulse! What was this whole Life Change incident doing to her? She had to deal with it.

              Macy marched directly over to Lia Hensworth and said what she needed to before she chickened out;

“Mrs. Hensworth! My name is Macy Lively, we talked on the phone today about my RSVP, I have never been interested in adopting a child, I’m single, living in a tiny apartment, and have no time for a child! But Life Change keeps popping back up into my life over and over again over the last two days, so I decided I needed to go to the event. But now I’m second guessing my decision, I’m so nervous, I have no reason for going, and I have not been myself since I RSVP’d and I’m going crazy. So please forget this whole thing, I will not be sitting at your table at the banquet, I am not going, and you may withdrawal my RSVP right away thank you.” Macy was out of breath but felt good about her attention demanding speech.

“Miss. Lively, I’m sorry about how you are feeling, but maybe it is for a reason, you do not have to come to the banquet, but I will save your spot just in case you decide to change your mind. And if you realize why this is making you so anxious then just give me a call and I will happily talk to you, or we can meet for coffee, just let me know.” Mrs. Hensworth calmly finished and reached into her pocket, withdrawing a business card,

“Here is my card with my personal phone number on it, call me anytime.” Macy accepted the card, and looked at Mrs. Hensworth for a second then walked away without another word.

October 28th, 2012 (370 words!!!)

CHAPTER 2

              As Macy got ready for shopping the next day she stumbled across the letter from Life Change again, and without putting any more thought into it she dialed the number at the bottom of the letter.

“(319)-285-1492” She recited the number as she pressed the square numbers on the wireless phone.

“Hello this is Lia Hensworth CEO of Life Change, how may I help you today?” Macy was secretly hoping nobody would pick up so she could just leave a message, but apparently luck was not on her side today.

“Hello Mrs. Hensworth, my name is Macy Lively, and I was calling because I got an invitation to the Life Change banquet dinner on the twenty eighth, and I would like to RSVP please.”

“Of course! Do you have a specific table you would like to be placed at?” Mrs. Hensworth thoughtfully asked.

“No thank you, I don’t know anybody going, I’m coming alone.” Macy was ashamed to be alone, and hated it, but she needed to go to this and she didn’t know why.

“Alright! Well in that case, why don’t you join my husband, George and I at our table? We’d be happy to have you!” Mrs. Hensworth sweetly offered.

“Oh no! I wouldn’t want to be a burden!” Macy quickly responded.

“You are no burden darling I will put you right there next to me! I can’t wait to meet you and I hope you have a lovely day! Thank you!” Mrs. Hensworth hung up. Puzzled, Macy hung up too. She walked over to the living room, not sure exactly what happened, why did she feel the need to attend this banquet? And why did she make that call so suddenly? Macy never did anything without thinking it through at least twenty times.

“Shit, what did I just get myself into? I’m going to call and cancel right now! I’ll say that I didn’t realize I had plans that day or something believable like that!” Macy frantically decided.

“Ding dong!” the doorbell rang just as she was dialing the phone. She tossed it on the couch and collected herself before she answered the door. She peaked through the little peep hole, it was Alli.

October 27th 2012 (284 words!)

Macy glanced across the room before she shut her eyes to sleep, and a letter in a blue envelope caught her eye. So she got up and examined it, it had an American flag stamp in the corner; it was from an adoption agency called Life Change.

“Hm that’s weird.” Macy thought to herself. So she opened it, and sat down to read it;

“Dear Miss Lively,

              With great honor we would love to invite you to join our banquet dinner to raise money to save children who lost their families in disasters. It will be held at the Red Lion Hotel in Primwood on October 28th 2012 at 6:30pm, and you must RSVP as soon as possible to save your spot!

              Sincerely,

                           Lia Hensworth (CEO of Life Change)”

“Why would they send this to me? I don’t need a kid?” Macy wondered;

“Or do I?”

OK!!! i am having so much fun writing this novel at some points! Although at others i absolutely hate it! i have a really hard time motivating myself to sit down and write it! But i'm finally getting to some action and i can't wait to share SOME of it with ya'll!!!

She quickly drowned the noise of the whiny women on the TV out and drifted off to sleep, when suddenly the phone rang. She jumped up in terror throwing the popcorn bowl that was in her lap when she fell asleep into the air, blanketing the floor in the little white edible clouds of butter and salt. It was her best friend Allison.

“Hello?”

“Hey Macy! Whatcha doin?” Allison energetically asked

“Oh nothing just working out” Macy lied, just trying to make her life sound more productive.

“OH COOL! Wanna go dancing? Huh huh huh? Then we can have a sleepover like old times back in high school! And we can have a pillow fight and eat candy and… I don’t feel so good, I gotta go bye Macy.” Allison quickly hung up the phone.

“Bye?” Macy placed the phone on the couch next to her, she got that feeling that Alli was drunk again; as a matter of fact she knew Alli was drunk. She hated it when she went out drinking, she got so worried about her every time, she always tried to get Alli to let her drive her home after drinking but she always denied her help and said she was fine. But Macy was afraid that one day she wouldn’t be so fine.

              Knowing there was nothing else she could do Macy focused her attention on the TV and finished the new episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She then switched off the television and drug herself to bed, only to start again tomorrow. Wait a second! Tomorrow was Saturday! Macy quickly sat up in bed;

“What should I do tomorrow?” suddenly her mind was racing with all of the possibilities,

“Horse back riding? Shopping? Go see Alli, or wait! Maybe I should do something out of the ordinary and super extraordinary! Like skydiving! Or white water rafting! The choices were endless!”

But she knew she wouldn’t be brave enough to do any of those extraordinary things. So she decided to just go shopping with Alli, if she wasn’t too badly hung over of course.

More novel :)

“whoosh” Macy swiped her work ID to clock out for the night.

“Bye Macy!” Her cheerful co workers pronounced as they gave a joyful little wave.

“Bye Susan, have a goodnight Dave” She said her goodbyes till tomorrow and headed out the door. It was rainy and windy, but she didn’t mind, she loved the rain, although the wind whipping her face wasn’t so fantastic, she opened up her bright red umbrella and exited the library. As she shlumped through puddle after puddle she passed Starbucks, which taunted her with the lingering smell of their seasonal spiced pumpkin lattés, but she knew that if she got one she would never sleep tonight. So she strolled on by pretending that the aroma wasn’t taunting her. She walked past a couple sharing a kiss under their oversized umbrella, and it took every bit of strength she had to hold back tears.

              The last boyfriend Macy had broke her heart, he left for a business trip one day and came home and just dumped her, with no fair warning, he just left her, and told her it was because she had too big of dreams, ones that he couldn’t live up to. Even though she knew that wasn’t the real reason. Later on she found out that he had cheated on her, and just wanted to have fun and spend his nights at the club instead of in bed with her.

“What a bastard” she mumbled to herself as a little old lady walked by and gave her a scowl for her foul language. So since that catastrophe three years ago she has been happily single. At least that’s what she tries to convince herself, although she really isn’t, she is lonely, she hates being single, but she doesn’t see how she could ever trust again.

               “Who wants to be with a dainty little librarian anyways? Besides Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail, or Hugh Grant in Notting Hill, just face it Macy, you just aren’t lucky like Meg or Hugh.” She approached her apartment complex, B32 were the letter and numbers that hung on her door, the only thing differing her apartment from the other three hundred besides the rotting pumpkin next to her welcome mat outside her door. She reached into her second hand Coco Chanel purse she got for $30 at Goodwill four Christmas’s ago, it had a rip in the seam and a missing embellishment on one of the pockets but she didn’t mind, it as still from a designer! Although she never told anybody that it was second hand, it made her seem more sophisticated and responsible if she paid full price for it at Nordstrom.

More of my novel :)

Macy worked at the local town library organizing books, all day, everyday, it was a drab and slow paced job, but she loved it. Because it was a chance for her to step out of the hustle and bustle of the real world and just be in a quiet realm filled with imagination and fantasy. It was the secret place where she could bury her nose in a book for hours on end, and not have to worry about what she was going to do for dinner, how she was going to pay off her overdue bills, or the fact that she was desperately single.
     “Shuffle Shuffle” Macy flipped through pages of her newspaper during her lunch break, which she normally took at the café next door, but today she decided to switch it up and get a 6 inch turkey sub sandwich at Subway, which just a few blocks from the library. She skimmed each page of the local paper quickly, glancing over the advertisements; dog grooming, dental care, child adoption, free oil change…
“Child adoption? Hmmm” Macy had been single for a long time, but she had always dreamt of having a little girl of her own, one that she could read books to every night, and do her hair, and send her off to school. This adoption agency specializes in children rescued from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans seven years prior.
“Nah, I’m not ready for any kids, I barely have room in my little apartment, and I have too many unpaid bills, I could never support a child.” She quickly talked herself out of it, and it was done, she forgot about adopting a little girl.

CHAPTER 1     
 
“BEEP BEEP BEEP!” Macy Lively’s alarm clock rang after being snoozed five times prior, it was screaming at her to wake up, she hated that alarm clock, although she never realized that it was her best friend. Without it she wouldn’t have anybody kind enough to wake up early every morning just to make sure she gets up and isn’t late for work. She peeled her eyelids up, and smacked the alarm clock till it shut up, and then she just lay there, in a daze, with her eyes zoned in on a funny splotch of blue on her white ceiling.
“And yet another day, maybe something exciting will happen today,” Macy mumbled to herself with a sarcastic doubt in her voice. Nothing exciting ever happened in Primwood, the quaint little town in Iowa that Macy was born and raised. It was early October so Macy opened her closet in pursuit of something cute and cozy,
“No, no, maybe, never! Well that’s cute, but not in the mood for it,” Macy said, desperately searching for an outfit that would get her through the day comfortably and fashionably. For a girl finding the right outfit is one of the hardest problems we face everyday!
“PERFECT!” Macy screeched as she pulled out a plum purple knee length cardigan, she then knew what she needed to complete the look, she slipped on some grey leggings, dark brown knee high boots with a buckle around the ankle, an oversized maroon red T-shirt, a huge grungy charcoal grey scarf that hung to her waist, and a black knitted beanie. This outfit was perfect for Macy’s tall slender body, and her deep chocolate brunette curly hair that draped all the way to her waist.

If you really want to hurt me, to cheat on me, to break my heart, then don't expect me to act like nothing ever happened... I tried to be there for you anyways, to be your friend, but you pushed me out and hurt me again anyways. So it's time for your to just back the hell off! Stop acting like you didn't do anything to me, because it isn't working. You aren't innocent, you aren't my love anymore. And i don't care what happens to you, you want to keep screwing up your life, then be my guest! Because I don't give a ****!!! I'm done letting you do this to me! You left me with nothing when you broke me, the taste of food was bland to me, light was my enemy, i was locked in my room, and almost made some life threatening decisions. So please stay away, stop treating me the way you do, because i'm done taking your shit.

Everybody, don't cheat, please don't, it isn't fair, if you aren't willing to give your all in a relationship, then don't pursue it. A heart is fragile, it was never meant to be broken, it has four chambers, meant for one person, not to be each given to someone different. If you want to cheat, then be ready to hurt someone, and possibly ruin everything they had dreamed of, and to be hated by many people for a long time. So next time you're considering cheating... just don't, think of the consequences!
