Live a Little

Chapter 7

Masons P.O.V

I didn't look back I just left, feeling no guilt, no remorse in my eyes it was the truth.
I got into Vincent's car and the others went separately, we are all going to the mall just not together but I new I would never be allowed to go with just Vincent's so we told a little fib.

"So, what happened after we left" he asked eagerly as I climbed in the car "they just decided to yell at me telling me how stupid I was being and how I shouldn't hang with you guys even though I told them that I'm happy, they didn't care, so I yelled back for the first time in forever" I said getting quieter

"they don't want me to be happy" I let out a sob and felt a tear roll down my cheek, I tried to quickly wipe it but Vincent saw

"Hey Snow don't cry baby, it's ok" he put his hand on my thigh and started to make circular motions with this thumb which helped calm me down

"sorry, you must think that I'm stupid for crying over something so petty" I said choking back another sob, I didn't want to look weak, but I never cry, the last time I cried to someone was when my parents died, since then it's only been little sobs here and there for something random, always in private. If you get to see me crying your a special person.

"I don't think that your stupid, everyone's gotta cry and I'm glad you feel comfortable around me" he said reassuringly, never letting go of my thigh, I put my hand on top on his and we went the rest of the way to the mall in blissful silence. All i needed was someone to listen me and he did just that.

"What about this on" Vincent said for the 100th time, tugging on a piece of black cloth hanging off of a coat hanger

"NO VINNY!" I exclaimed "I'm not a freaking hooker" I stated waving my arms in his face, he nodded, laughed and put it back.

"Can't we just leave, we've been here over an hour and nothing" I said facepalming myself at the idea of looking at anymore clothes

"here try this on" he said handing me a me a tight fitting skirt that you could zip on and off and a long sleeved black and white stripped top, I huffed in defeat and tried them on, the skirt came mid thigh, barley covering my butt but it was pretty and the top matched well, I hand to give it to Vincent, he sure had an eye for clothing, I got changed back not letting him see before walking to the till to pay

I handed her my money and she said "already taken care of" and nodded behind me to where Vincent was stood "you didn't have to do that you know" "your jobless ass can't afford to waste money" he chuckled, he wasn't wrong.

We Went and got some food before heading back to the car, my brothers wanted me back for 8:45 well it was currently 8:45 so looks like they'll be expecting me at 9:00. "Won't your brothers be mad" Vincent asked me "probably but I don't care at this point, what 16 year olds curfew is 8:45 ugh" I breathed out and he took my hand to comfort me,

"Thankyou for tonight you really helped me get my mind off of things" I stated, he squeezed my hand as we pulled into the drive way,

"Anything for you Snow" I kissed him on the cheek and turned to leave but he pulled me back into a hug and kissed the top of my head before letting me go.

9:05

I opened the front door to a wall of brothers,
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN" Anthony started "you know where" I snapped back

"Did you seriously have nothing better to do than sit and wait for me" I huffed in annoyance.

"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO US LIKE THAT" Jacks voice filled the room. 

"You storm out after offending all of us only too come back late and give attitude" Jacks states

"I lost track of time having fun" I said truthfully

"well that won't happen again because you aren't allowed to hang around with them anymore, even Vincent" my eyes went wide

"What the hell, you can't take away the only people who I feel comfortable with!" I shouted,

"there changing you in a bad way, old you would never act this way" he stated

"because old me was a shy little girl who cared too much about what certain people thought but no I'm gaining confidence and I'm happy" they stood in shock

"Vincent is just using you Mae, he isn't a good guy"
I sat in awe at what I was hearing

"do you remember the month after mom and dad died, I cried every day, non stop, I then vowed I wouldn't cry again because it hurt to much" they stayed silent and nodded

"when was the last time you or anyone saw me cry that wasn't a sad movie huh" I pressed, raising my voice

"not in years" Liam said

"no, Tonight was the last time I cried I got in that car and I cried, who was there to comfort me, Vincent, he soothed me, he was there for me" They all looked a bit guilty

"I cried in front of him doesn't that say something about my trust for him." I muttered and with that I went to bed.
