macaria.

THE day had started just like any other -- maci woke up and checked her phone ( which just so happened to have a picture of her and max as it’s wallpaper ), only this time she had a dozen missed calls from her mother and father combined. without even calling them back, maci already knew the reason they had called her -- one of her siblings had probably spilled the beans that max was back in town and they wanted to make sure that their youngest daughter wasn’t ‘throwing her life away for some boy’ again. rolling her eyes, maci set her phone back down on the nightstand and went to take a shower. she wanted to give herself time to wake up before she started fighting with her parents. 

AFTER getting out of the shower, maci called her parents and sighed when the only thing they told her was to come over to their house so that they could talk in person. once again rolling her eyes, maci gathered her things and got in her car before driving to her parents place. from the second she got there, there was nothing but tension in the air. she knew how her parents felt about max ( not that she cared, she loved him ), and she already knew what they were going to say. “ if you’re going to lecture me, can you get it over with? i have class in a couple hours. ” the pink-haired girl muttered softly as she crossed her arms over her chest.

AS soon as she spit those words out, her parents started to mouth off about how they didn’t approve of max and how they thought she was making a huge mistake. the more they spoke, the more maci continued to roll her eyes. “ you do realize that at one point you told me he was perfect for me, right? ” she reminded them with a sigh, to which they just responded with how he’d changed and how he was ruining her. the three of them went back and forth about her relationship with max for over an hour before maci had just finally had enough. “ you know what? i’m done! i thought that my parents -- who had an epic love of their own once, in case you forgot -- would be grateful that their youngest daughter had found true love, but clearly i was wrong. ” she cried out, a couple stray tears falling down her cheek as she gathered her stuff and walked towards the door. as she pulled it open, she turned back to her parents and shook her head. “ goodbye mom and dad. ” she muttered before walking out and slamming the door.

BY the time she got back out to her car, maci was full on crying and couldn’t stop. the two people that she thought would always support her and be there for her had finally let her down and she was a mess. the young goddess sat there and sobbed into her steering wheel for a couple of minutes before finally turning the engine on and backing out of the driveway ( though the tears didn’t stop ). as she drove down the road and back towards her house, maci’s eyes were so full of tears that she didn’t even realize that she was crossing an intersection until it was too late. seconds later, there was an impact to the driver’s side of maci’s car and that’s the last thing she remembers before waking up in the hospital.
