"Mackenzie, come on!"I heard John yell.

I was staying with John and Cynthia. I had nowhere else to go.

"We have ta pick up dinner,"John said, kissing his son, Julian's, head.

I nodded and we went to his car.

"So, why have ya been locked in yer room?"

"I don't know."

"Ya do know."

"I don't really like Cynthia."

"She is a bit rude."

"Yeah."

At the store, we hurried and grabbed what we needed. We paid and left.

"That was quick,"I sighed.

"Yeah."

We went back home and went inside.

"Where have you two been?"Cynthia asked.

"Cyn, we were gone for 20 minutes,"John cocked an eyebrow.

I sighed and sat down.

"Well, start on dinner,"Cynthia told me.

I groaned and stood up. John grabbed my wrist.

"Ya don't have ta do it,"He sighed.

I pulled my wrist away and went to start on dinner.

"Yer using how fragile and scared she is ta force her ta do things!"I heard them arguing.

I felt my eyes burn with tears. I looked at Julian and he giggled. He was one, and really adorable. John walked out.

"C'mon,"He said.

I nodded and we left.

"We aren't coming back this time. We're gonna go ta Kaihlan's house,"He explained.

I nodded and he started the car. At Kaihlan's house, I sat on the couch and we talked. Kaihlan and John flirted, a lot

"We are getting a divorce,"John explained.

"Aww,"Kaihlan sighed.

I rolled my eyes.

"What? Want Paul?"John joked.

"Ew,"I said.

"George?"Kaihlan asked.

"Maybe a little,"I blushed.

"Ya like George?"John smirked.

"Yes."

"Aww,"He poked my leg.

I smiled and looked at the ground.

"How about we call everyone?"Kaihlan suggested.

"Sure."

Paul, his girlfriend Jane, George and his girlfriend Pattie, and Ringo came. Everyone, other than Ringo and I, were flirting.

"Ya okay?"Ringo asked, following me to the kitchen.

"I'm gonna make some tea. Want some?"

He nodded and I started on the tea.

"Here,"I handed him a cup.

I sipped mine and sat on the counter.

"So, uh, was Cynthia mean or somethin?"He asked.

"She was, yeah. I never really liked her."

"Yeah, me neither."

"Glad someone agrees."

"No, barely any fans like 'er."

"True."

"Can you bring in some tea for all of us?"Kaihlan asked.

"Yeah,"I nodded and brought them all cups.

"Here, lemme help ya,"Ringo said.

We sat down on the loveseat, annoyed. Everyone had someone, except for Ringo and I. Ringo deserved someone. He was much better than Paul. Paul flirts too much.

"Mackenzie, d'ya believe in love at first sight?"Jane asked.

"Yes, why?"

"Paul doesn't,"She smirked.

"I didn't love ya when I first met ya,"Paul chuckled.

"Weirdo,"Pattie shook her head.

"What about you, Ringo?"I asked.

"I believe in it,"He nodded.

"Me too,"Pattie smiled at George.

"Yeah,"George agreed.

John and Kaihlan both said yes and we all continued talking.

"Mackenzie, when are ya ever gonna find someone?"Paul asked.

"I will. Some day."

I crossed my arms and looked at Ringo. He was looking at the ground. Maybe he felt the way I felt. Hopelsss and worthless
