Kenzie;

"Are you sure you can't come?" I asked nervously into the phone.

"I'm sorry I love you to death but I can't make it. Me and Justin are with his family this week." Nicole said back as I sighed in desperation.

It was the holiday season and since I didn't want to go back to my family because, no just no. Me and my family don't get along. Colby had asked me to fly to see his family. And I didn't want to go without my best friend.

What if his parents didn't like me? What if his parents hated me? I mean we weren't dating but what if we do?

"Fine okay okay I'll go alone. But I'm really nervous." I said, back to pacing around the living room again.

"Hey I was nervous meeting Justin's family at first, but then I got over it." She said laughing trying to soothe my racking nerves with a joke.

The scary thing is, Justin's family ended up hating her.

"Not helping, not helping." I said huffing out a big breathe of air setting myself on the sofa.

Just then I heard rustling and footsteps from the next room. It was Colby.

"Hey, he's coming gotta go love you bye."

"Love yo-"

I quickly hung up and slammed my phone against the wall while trying to act casual.

It didn't go according to plan as my iPhone shattered against the wall and into a glass puddle on the floor.

"I know I make quite an entrance sweetheart but no need to kill your phone over it." He said chuckling and sitting beside me with a bowl of popcorn.

"How did you get into my apartment?" I asked never remembering him having the key.

He smugly smile and said,"better hide that spare key better darling."

"I'm definitely picking a different hiding spot now." I said laughing while taking a handful of his popcorn.

"So have you decided if you're coming with me too see my family or not?" He asked smiling and waiting for my reply.

"Yea I'll come." I said smiling and turning on the tv.

The only thing good on was Full House. But I didn't really want to watch it.

"Hey what's up with you? You love watching full house and have never missed a rerun in your life." He asked as I reached for the remote to turn off the tv.

It was bothering me that his family might potentially hate me and then Colby won't be able to hang out the same again. But I wasn't going to tell him that. He'd think I was overeating. I mean, I probably was but I can't help it. I'm a worry wart.

"I think I'm just gonna take a nap on the couch and you can watch Full House." I said walking over to the other couch and pulling out a brown fluffy blanket.

I lay my head on the pillow and fall into dreamland.

"So what do you do for a living?" She asked with a warm smile one her face.

"Oh I make YouTube videos." I said giving the same warm smile back, probably a bit more forced and nervous than hers.

Her smile dropped and she looked at her husband.

"Oh okay."

"Hey what ever happened to that Julia girl?" She asked Colby still frowning but smiling at the thought of Julia.

"I don't know. But I like Julia still. I just brought her here because me and Julia are on a break." He said smiling and sitting down at the dinner table.

I frowned. But sat at the neatly made table anyway.
I sat on the end where I could see his whole family.

His sister was glaring, his brother was frowning at me, his mother was looking at me almost like she was dissatisfied, and his father was full on giving me the evil eye.

"Ohh Kayyy." I muttered under my breathe.

"She looks weird." His sister blurted

"Yea I agree she could use a nose job." His older brother blurted right after her.

"Do you know what she does for a living? She won't last a day in the real world." His mother said giving me a look again.

"I like Julia better." His dad said shaking his head at me.

"Bad job son." His mother said.

All the voices seem to mix together. Swirling, listening to his family's insults shoot at me like bullets. Fresh new wounds stab at my heart and I felt the warm tears run down my cheeks.

My face was read and my anxiety shot up like a sky rocket.

"It's okay. It's okay." Colby said louder and louder as the insults kept mixing together into one voice.

I felt like a schizophrenic. So many voices. So many words. So many insults.

They kept going, increasing in volume and I resort the more I listened. I soak in their words like a sponge soaking up the last bit of water. If the rhyme sticks and stones were true, it certainly didn't feel like it then. By then every last bone in my body was shattered and in peices on the ground. As I sat there eventually Colby yelled, "WAKE UP PLEASE."

And I was awake.
