MacKenzie's POV:
"No way we could've gotten those tickets for less than what we got them for!" Shawn obnoxiously yells out of excitement at me as he tucks the throw blanket on the couch around him.
"I know that's insane," i smile happily to myself, reaching for the remote to see if American Horror Story is on.
I think going to this drake concert with shawn will be a way to bond a little, and spend some time we so desperately need together. Not saying that being in a stadium with "Know Yourself" blasting in the back is a good time to talk, but it is a 5 hour car ride to get to that point.
"And the great part," he sighs, sliding next to me on the couch putting his arm around my shoulder, "is that Laur can come with us, I bought a third ticket."
Laur?
My body instantly tenses at the sound of her name, I can bet shawn noticed.
"Why didn't you tell me about the third ticket?" Sliding away I glare at him menacingly, this is so unfair, his bitch of a girl friend has hated me since forever.
"I didn't think I had to?" He raises his eyebrows looking at me confused and suspiciously, as to why I have such a problem with Laur tagging along.
"First of all, she hates me shawn, like burn in hell hates me," my face turns red from anger, "and second we're going to this concert together I didn't think I'd have to deal with other people."
His eyes are no longer soft and comfortable like they were seconds ago, but more hurt and frustrated.
"What the hell makes you think she hates you?" He spits at me, making my blood run cold.
Has he seriously not noticed? Is this a joke?
"Can you not put two and two together shawn? Or do I have to bring out a calculator." I get off the couch standing in front of him, trying not to cry. I always do this when I get upset, I have to cry over it.
"Clearly Kenzie I don't understand, so hit me. What makes you think that." The sarcasm in his voice is so profound it makes me want to laugh about how stupid he's being. I've been sugar coating what's been happening since their relationship started.
"First week you started dating," i hunch over in his face showing him how serious I'm being, "that spam that I got from an "anonymous stranger" was actually that jerk that you call your girlfriend. Remember how hard I cried? Everyone at school knew about it too."
Shock crosses his face only for a moment, but it quickly returns back to doubt, "come on Kenzie, the things that person was saying was crap like "you love shawn," and other things I won't mention but so what? Every one at school knew it was fake. We knew it was fake. Why would Laur even say something like that?"
The air gets knocked out of my lungs, he just won't believe me will he?
"Think about it," i squeak, trying to come up with another way I could describe it, "she starts dating someone with a girl best friend, she gets jealous, and tries to push me away from you by starting bull shit rumors."
"Jealous?" He laughs, clearly pissed off, "Jesus how much do you think of yourself? Not every one thinks you're a threat."
I stand up straight, with tears falling down my cheeks trying to keep composure.
"Wait..." i whisper, taking a deep breath, "Are you actually not believing me? She threatens me all the time. Every single fight we've had started from her saying something."
"What do you want me to do huh? You don't have to go to this god Damn concert, ian would be happy to go." He grabs his sweatshirt and pulls it over his head standing up, glaring at me.
"Her hating me isn't the only thing you're oblivious too," i mumble, my eyes instantly going wide in shock at the words I just said.
Oh no
No no no
"What's that supposed to mean?" He scoffs, stepping closer to me, his hot breath hitting my cheek.
"You don't get it shawn," i start to cry, hitting his shoulder, shoving him away, "Just go home."
"No, no Kenzie just tell me," His voice returns to being soft and gentle, making my heart do intense flutters.
"I love you okay?" I cry at my words, knowing it could ruin everything, "and I know you have Laur, and I know you don't feel the same but it kills me and I thought you should know."
Just when I thought I lost my world, he pulls me into the largest bear hug you could imagine, almost making my knees go week.
"Shhh Kenzie don't cry, it's okay." He rubs my back as i cry, "I'm so sorry I wish I paid attention to the way she treated you. I shouldn't have let that happen."
"Don't apologize," i cover my face with my hands.
"You're my best friend and I let some girl friend hurt you like that, hell I shouldn't just say sorry once but I-i love you too okay? Shit Kenz I always have."
Not wanting to lose momentum or waste any more of this beautiful moment, I pull his neck in and kiss him, i kiss him like I've been deprived from his love for years, decades....
And he kisses back
After about a minute of intense breathing and making out, he stares into my eyes and almost smiles, making me want to run outside and scream to the world about what just happened.
"I have uh, some bridges I need to burn with people," he mumbles, pulling me in for a hug, indirecting at Laur, "but I'll be back tonight kenz, I promise."
"I'll be here waiting,"
I have always waited.
