Too Late

MACIA POV

Junior's famz were the most welcoming overly caring of people.

Kiwis have an amazing culture, juniors family were a mixed cultures of the beautiful polynesian Islands they all laugh as one eat as one love as one they were the best of the best.

I chilled with them till the week ended we went fishing, swimming, dancing well they tried to teach me to dance their culture dances, went to church till I decided I needed to go home.

Levi and I relationship had changed and I notice that at the pub he was single and I get that but lex and leni weren't pleased with their brother ignoring me.

Lex asked to meet today not knowing I'll be leaving tomorrow.

I sat waiting for lex he walks through the door pecks me a kiss on the cheek and scooted beside me.

"thanks for meeting with me I'm sorry we've been busy but work calls you know"

"I do and it's fine you's have bills to pay but what's this about?"

"levi" he slightly moves to look at me better.

"well don't act like you don't care"

"I don't to be honest he's single and is free to be his own person shit being controlled his whole relationship would fucken  suck but Im happy he's ok"

"well shit your taking this better then us"

"us?"

"yeah my parents, leni we all wanted you's to get back together you's are good for each other just that you saying that makes sense but we've missed having you home with us it's like you bring the good out of us shit like I've never felt comfortable to drink let alone smoke around mom or dad but here you come and we had a really good night mom talks about often "

I grab his hand and squeeze it lightly looking into his eyes.

"I will always love you all as my family but levi needs time to heal he needs to find himself and when he does" I shrug my shoulders "it could be too late or not if he still has feelings for me but I do know, you know that saying if you love somebody so much you have to let them go and I am choosing his happiness over mine"

I let lex hand go to grab my bag I pull out a wrapped gift handing it to him. His eyes land on the gift.

"this is for the memory hallway" he smiles "the night we went to watch Junior play and we took a photo all together"

We both chuckle.

"yeah I remembered you yelling at junz and his brothers to hold you but instead he through you over his shoulder"

We both start laughing.

"yeah but I kept that one this one is the best from many we took can you give it to jojo for me I was going to say goodbye but sh-"

He shook his head pushing the gift along the table.

"nope you can give it to mom I can't be the one to break her heart sorry marcy come for one more dinner I'll call levi over and we eat for the last time till you visit or we visit you's again"

I nod we stood up together and left in separate vehicles.

Next day

Driving into work with a huge smile I parked up under ground parking and haul my ass to grab the bags of gifts for six hundred and twenty two employees thanks to mama tiare she took me to a poly markets where cash was only the way to purchase anything and haggle for the best price mama tiare was the Queen of haggle we got all the men island shirts with matching straw hats and for the ladies lava lava and straw fans that had intricate flowers woven into the straw.

I personally handed everyone their gifts with help of course I left the best for last clive he's into jewellery and this was a mother of pearl earring with a matching necklace that was a bone carving he's into tribal jewellery not the fancy stuff I also got cleo something too.

I knock on his office door I hear his voice to come in and I do with the gift bag in m hand I place it on his desk his eyes landed on the gift bag he grabs it looking inside.

"well don't I feel special"

He pulls out the pearl collar I got cleo, he eyes it then looks at me with a smirk.

"now I'm intrigue is this to add to my collections of toys?"

"Oh god no that's for cleo you punk"

He snickers.

"I know that was very nice of you mac and the jewellery thank you"

He places the bag in his draw.

"so what's the plans your off for two more weeks or are you coming back?"

I shook my head.

"yeah I thought so cam has been loving the quietness mav has been a sook lance has been up my ass the team misses you I miss you"

I smile.

"I missed you's too seriously I went out met a bunch of people and they reminded me of you guys and how much I've missed you's and wanted to come home"

He nods in understanding. We talked about everything and I told him I haven't heard from Cruz he thought that was odd but he could be busy with the mama drama who knows.

Driving home I thought from doing something everyday being around hearty  roudy boisterous funny people  juniors family to reality my life it seemed boring ma and popz do their thing cruz and dario do theirs and then there's me with the alpha team and the few friends I do have it's not like juniors family they are literally sleeping on top of each other eating over each other they are always with someone if not all of them are together their culture is beautiful all about family and the endless of kids they could start up a daycare a primary school and a high school with all them kids it was endless laughing, eating, talking, joking around.

My phone rings through the speakers I press the button on the steering wheel.

"Marcy you coming over for dinner?"

One thing I didn't miss the traffic and angry honks of horns.

"yes mama I brought you and popz"

The crawl to the lights I stopped at the cross section a car flies passed with the police sirens blaring after it I though to myself 'welcome home'.

"you didn't have to baby but where are you?"

"stuck in traffic"

The lights turn green I look left and right and the cars beside me drove across to the other side I stopped just behind a Ute.

"Please be safe I best let you go drive safely baby"

I saw a truck in my rear view mirror cut the vehical behind me off it didn't look like it was slowing down I panicked I was trap and didn't have time to unbuckle and open the door.

"mama-"

I screamed the full force of impact I braced my arms around my face mama's screams reached my ears over metal crunching glass smashing the airbags shoot out to my arms the pain in my arms chest and back was excruciating my head felt like someone stomping on it I couldn't move my legs were trapped I tried opening my eyes could hear screams, broken glass and metal with a ringing, I felt warm sweat? Rolling down my face I tried opening my eyes everything was a blur as I pry my eyes open I blinked slowly  yellow flames were to my left my windows were smashed in pieces my head is spinning I tried raising my hand to hold my head but it's trapped by the airbags I gasp for air in panic I try to calm down but the little air I took everything went black.
