Before The End

Five

"Wake up," Symmone said jumping on McKenzie's bed at six in the morning. "It's your birthday."

"Go away." She mumbled into her pillow.

"Not gonna happen sunshine." Harry laughed dragging her out of bed.

"Okay okay i'm up," Kenzie laughed sitting up. "You couldn't be normal human beings and wake me up at eight or not wake me up at all?"

"It's Friday we have school. And we wanted you to open the first half of your presents before we left for school." Symmone said helping her onto her feet.

"So get your flat behind downstairs." Harry called out as he walked down the stairs.

"Ooh presents." She smiled following him downstairs with Sy right behind her.

Once she got downstairs she rushed to the coffee table in the living room that was filled with wrapped gifts.

"Happy birthday baby Black." Liam said from his position on the couch.

"Do my eyes decisive me. The whole gang in one place." McKenzie smiled as Logan pit his hand over her shoulders.

"Only for you Mac." He smiled guiding her away from the presents and into the kitchen.

"I thought I was supposed to be opening my gifts." She asked.

"We'll do that later today. Right now daddy Black is making breakfast." Logan smiled sitting her down.

"Morning dad." McKenzie laughed as her dad rolled his eyes at Logan.

"Morning Princess." He smiled handing her a plate of pancakes.

"Hey guys breakfast!" Noah called out as he entered the room.

Once everyone was seated they all are and talked amongst themselves. McKenzie looked around and smiled. This was her weird little family. And she loved all of them.

After eating her and Sy headed upstairs and got ready for school. She slipped on a pair of black jeans and a yellow off the shoulder top. Tying her hair up in a ponytail she made her way downstairs.

"Who's driving me today?" She asked looking at Zack. Before he could respond her dad appeared and threw her a pair of car keys.

"You're driving yourself." He smiled.

"Dad you already got me a car." She whispered gaping at him.

"I know. I just wanted to spoil my favourite child." He said going back into the kitchen.

"I'm right here you know." Jason grumbled walking out and dragging Zack with him.

"Well let's go then." Logan said grabbing her keys and running outside with Noah hot on his tail.

"Their gonna end up crashing your car. You know that right?" Harry laughed walking next to her.

"I know." She sighed.

.........

Logan and Noah hadn't crashed her brand new Camaro. Mostly because they didn't get to drive it. McKenzie spent the rest of her day recieving gifts and birthday wishes from random people at her school. She wasn't used to the attention. She figured it was just people wanting to get into her good books. Because if they were in McKenzie's good books they were automatically in the Winchester's good books.

"That's a lot of roses you've got there Macky." Zack said as he approached her table at lunch.

"All from the football team." She sighed. They took up half of the whole table making it impossible for him to join them.

"The guys gave you those?" He asked shocked.

"You should see how many boxes of chocolate she had to stuff in her car." Harry chuckled.

"Which reminds me tell Jason Symmone's leaving with him. There's only enough room in my car for two people now." She said looking up at Zack.

"Why can't Harry be the one to leave with us?" Zack asked.

"Because he's taking her on some surprise birthday adventure and I'm not invited." Symmone said answering for her best friend.

Zack felt a bit of anger and slight jealousy when he heard that. Why was his brother taking Macky on some birthday adventure with just the two of them? Why hadn't he thought of that?

"As long as you're back in time for your party." He said with a blank expression.

"Don't worry big brother I won't keep her too myself all day." Harry smiled wrapping an arm around her making her chuckle.

He wanted to rip that arm off. Why was she even laughing. It's not like he said anything funny.

Calm down Zack. He told himself.

"Cool. See you at your place at eight then." He said forcing a smile before walking back to his table.

Sitting down opposite Jason he looked down at his food and continuously poked it.

"What's got you mad at your lunch?" Logan asked raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing." Zack grumbled. "Is there anything going on between Mac and Harry?"

"Other than the fact that their closer than she is with Symmone?" Jason asked.

"Why so curious?" Noah smirked.

"Just wanted to know." He shrugged avoiding eye contact.

"All I know is Harry told me he really likes her. But that was last year I don't know if he still does." Logan smiled.

"But they'd make such a cute couple don't you think so Jase." Noah asked.

"I approve. He's good for her." Jason said eyeing his best friend who was frowning at his plate.

"Great." Zack said glancing at McKenzie's table.

He watched her laugh at something his brother whispered in her ear and felt a stab in his chest.

From her table McKenzie watched Zack glare at his food and turned to Harry.

"What's up with grumpy pants over there?" She asked.

He's jealous. Harry wanted to say.

"Who knows." He shrugged instead. "You know how Zack gets mad at just about anything."

"True. He has such a short temper dispute him being a giant marshmallow." She chuckled.

"What can I say. The Winchester brothers are true paradox." Harry shrugged.

"Aren't you two all cute and cozy." Symmone sighed.

"You're just jealous because she loves me more." Harry said sticking out his tongue.

"As if. Might I remind you who her best friend is." Sy glared.

"Uhm me?" He said in an obvious tone.

"Yeah right." Sy said rolling eyes.

"Guys we've talked about this. I love you both the same." McKenzie laughed. "But Harry is my current favourite since he's taking me out for my birthday."

Symmone gasped while Harry and Kenzie laughed at the expression of betrayal on her face.

"I'm so telling Zack you like him for that."
