Derrick hissed, &quot;Yeah Macy, because this _isn't_ his hand?&quot; He jabbed a finger at her bruised wrist and she covered it up. &quot;And that _isn't_ his fist?&quot; He pointed to a bigger one on her tan leg. &quot;Derrick shut up.&quot; Macy whispered, looking away. &quot;And this isn't from that time I saw you two in the hall.&quot; Macy grabbed his hand. &quot;Derrick shut up!&quot; She repeated in a scream now. &quot;I can't believe you're lying to me!&quot; She broke down into sobs and Derrick placed his arm around her. &quot;Macy&quot; He whimpered, &quot;Do you honestly not see what he's doing to you? Or are you trying to cover it up with the fact that he supposedly loves you?&quot; &quot;He loves me.&quot; &quot;_I_ can't believe that you'll lie to yourself to stay with him no matter what he does to you.&quot; Derrick purred, trying to comfort her now, tone down the screams. &quot;That's not true.&quot;She lied and it sounded fake even to her own ears. Yet maybe it'd be real if Derrick and Macy lived in a different world where _they_ were together and Shane didn't even exist. 2008-04-25T18:33:03Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/26923 <p>she has to face the facts or the huge bruises on herself!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26923?basename=58625 2008-04-25T18:33:03Z Nissakit http://ficlets.com/authors/nerissa <p>yeahh macy is in denial.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26923?basename=55861 2008-04-12T20:59:45Z howhardlifeis♥ http://ficlets.com/authors/dinasahm <p>Dude, Macy needs to get off the fantasy boat express!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26923?basename=54961 2008-04-08T00:37:27Z flute faerie http://ficlets.com/authors/user_6061 <p>Wow, Macy!
