"Macie what the fuck are you doing?" Sully asks in a laugh, and I look down before getting fully out of the sunroof.

"Having fun, you guys are boring" I giggle before my feet stand on the center console, brushing against both Jax and Sully's arms, before I slide my ass up on the roof and my feet now dangle, as the wind blows my hair into a giant knot.

The sense of freedom washes through me, feeling that wind beat hard against my skin, giving me that same feel of riding the bikes, that are right behind me in the bed of the truck. I feel so free and alive. Like I haven't in a long time. I can fucking breathe.

My arms go up and my head falls back, letting this feeling consume me, feeling every bit of it. Feeling a hand wrap around my ankle causing me to look down, seeing it's Jax, as he takes a quick glance up at me.

How the hell did this happen between us; get to be where it is right now? I've known Jax my whole life, and like I said the other night, I think what is between us has been brewing for a long time.

I was blind to it. But I'm not now, and it is hitting me harder than I thought it could. I swore I would never let my heart get broken again.

I'm scared to open my heart up to anyone, but he's pulling at it hard, really hard.

Jax

I've been waiting for her to get bored, knowing it would happen once she put her laptop away.

When I look up at her sitting on the roof of my truck, I see the smile I haven't seen in a long time.

Knowing what happened between Macie and Lisa behind closed doors, seeing it with my own eyes, all of it makes sense of why Macie never carried the smile she is carrying right now and why she kept her life a secret. And why she gave up skating, hate to say it, but those little feet still have a lot of skate left in them.

I look over and Sully climbs out the window, and now they are both singing at the top of their lungs hanging out of my truck as I drive down the road.

If I get a fucking ticket; I laugh at that as my head shakes.

I talked to Sully about Macie coming with us before even getting the call, as soon as Macie and I decided we were giving this a go, I told him.

It's always been the plan for us to go together, and I knew it wouldn't be a problem. Macie and Sully are close, she was best friends with Holly, Sully's always been around, it's been Koda, Sully, and me.

It feels weird not having Koda, and I told him he was fucking up, coach wanted him too, but he said no.

Macie kicks me in the shoulder, and I look up as she looks down at me with that devious smile curling from her lips, "Pull over."

"Why?" I ask with curiosity.

Lifting her brow as she giggles, "Just pull over."

I do, I pull over and as soon as my truck is stopped, her legs disappear and she is out of the cab completely, jumping into the bed of the truck, then over the side, feet hit the ground, and she takes off towards the lake beach we are driving by.

"Macie, you're fucking crazy that water is fucking cold!" Sully yells out at her hanging out the window still.

Next thing I know, she's ripped her shirt off, as she runs to the water, tripping as she goes, pulling her pants off, butt ass naked, leaving both Sully and I to look at each other and laugh.

She yells out, "Come on you pussies! We're free!" And she dives into the water.

There she is, there's the Macie I remember.

"I haven't seen her like this since Holly died." Sully says watching her in amusement.

"Neither have I" I open my door and Sully slides out of the window he was already half hanging out anyways, and we make our way to her, stripping as we go.

Fuck it, we have plenty of time to fuck off before we have to get serious.

I look into the water and Macie floats on her back, floating with the waves, reminding me of the girl I fell in love with when I was 12.

Sully

I can't stop smiling to myself watching Macie. I can’t believe she did it, I fucking dared her; Knowing she can’t pass up a dare.
