Turn back time
Mark had been suffocating her all day and she needed a break.
While he was talking to some other people, she decided to wander over and talk to Adrian.
She was happily chatting away when she spotted Mark heading her way, his eyes full of rage.
Ike glanced over toward the Ski shop and his eyes rested on Lacey talking to some friends.
Well, she looks a little better. Ike thought happily.
He wanted to see her happy.
He continued to watch as she laughed and talked and quickly became aware of Mark heading her way.
He looked a little angry to him.
Ike’s eyes widened in surprise as Mark reached Lacey and grabbed her by the arm.
He dragged her away from the guys and began talking to her sternly, like a father.
Lacey looked scared and Ike wanted to go and help her but he knew she would rather die than let him help her.
He watched helplessly as Mark stormed off and left Lacey sobbing in the middle of the mall.
His sorrow overriding all other feelings, Ike started walking towards her.
As much as she hated him, he didn’t want to see her unhappy.
Lacey tried to stop the sobbing but the tears just wouldn’t cease.
Why? She wondered.
Why did he act like that? I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I’m still his. And I didn’t tell anyone.
Suddenly she was aware of someone at her side, she recoiled, thinking it was Mark, but was shocked to see Ike standing near her, bringing that strange feeling back.
‘Lacey? Are you ok?’
At that moment, Lacey wanted nothing more then to throw her arms around him and have him dry her tears, but pride got in the way of her true emotions, and she was afraid of him.
‘Yes Ike. I’m fine.’
‘Are you sure? Did you and Mark have a fight?’
‘What are you? Neighborhood watch? It’s none of your business ok? I’m fine.’
But Ike persisted.
‘Lace, please! What’s wrong? I noticed you haven’t been out of your house in three days.’
‘What? Are you spying on me still! You’d better stop or if I catch you again I’ll call the police, and I don’t care if you are Isaac Hanson!’ She snapped.
Her head was spinning and she couldn’t read her emotions.
She had to get away from Ike as soon as possible. She did not know what she might discover, plus his presence was making her feel trapped.
‘Are you sure you’re ok?’ Ike was genuinely concerned, as a friend and as a lovesick admirer.
‘Ike, please. It’s none of your business and would you please go away before I call a security guard.’ Lacey spun on her heel and sped out of the mall, a nagging voice in the back of her mind unconsciously telling her she liked Isaac Hanson a lot more than she cared to admit.
Ike looked after Lacey with more pain in his heart than he had ever imagined possible.
He felt like she’d just ripped out his soul, trod on it and left it out to die.
Tay was standing on the front door step, seconds away from planting a kiss on the girl of his dreams when Ike came screaming up the drive, slammed the car door and tore past Tay and his girl into the house.
‘Perfect timing, as always.’ Tay groaned.
‘He should have been the drummer.’
Tay’s new girlfriend Peta however, was not deterred and took the opportunity to place a sweet kiss on his cheek.
‘I gotta go.’ She told him. ‘Call me.’
Tay blushed and smiled. ‘Sure.’
