An Unexpected Love {Editing}

05

Mackenzie

As I ran to the pool to meet Brandon I checked on Kyla and Nick. I opened the door and saw Kyla asleep in his arms. I quietly took a picture and used the caption: goals -. 

Then I ran to the pool. When I got there I jumped on Brandon's back and he walked to the game room. When we got to the game room, Brandon put me down and I went straight to the ball pit. Brandon jumped in after me. I was sitting in the corner when Brandon came and sat next to me. He looked down at his phone. 

"Kenzie?" he said. 

"What is it Brando?" I said lightly shoving him to the side. 

"I really like this one girl and I don't know if she likes me but I want to ask her out. What should I do?" he sighs.

"I say just go for it." I shrug as I grab a ball and throw it as far as I can. 

"Ok.. Kenzie.. Will you be my girlfriend?" 

"Took you long enough," I giggle as I nod at him. He smiles back at me. 

Brandon
I take a picture of me and Mackenzie with the caption: My girl --. Mackenzie instantly likes it. She then took another pic to post on her Instagram. She captions it: My crazy boys --. A couple of minutes later both of our phones started blowing up with comments. I read a couple and so does she. She scrolls through the comments on my photo. She read this one. She reads one aloud.

"Ew! Why are you with her? You can do so much better!"

 She runs out of the game room with tears in her eyes. I follow after her. She runs up the stairs and I ran to the elevator. I should have known better.

Mackenzie

I was running up the stairs and to our room. I slam the bathroom door and lock it. I unzip my makeup bag and dig through it. I find the razor and place it on my wrist. I cut once. Then again. And then one last time. I clean up the blood and continue to cry.

Kyla

I hear the bathroom door slam followed by someone crying.  I instantly knew what was happening. I look at the notifications and see that Brandon posted a photo with Kenzie just a few minutes ago. I look through the comments, finding many that could have caused Mackenzie's distress.  I wiggle myself out of Nick's arms and start banging on the door. 

"MACKENZIE OPEN THE DOOR!" 

"NO!!" She yells back. The door flies open and Brandon runs towards me.  He grabs a bobby pin and wiggles it into the keyhole. He successfully unlocks the door. He throws the door open and looks at Kenzie who was curled up in a ball in the corner with a blood-stained towel wrapped around her wrist.  

"Babygirl it is going to be alright," Brandon says as he kneels down in front of her and takes her hand in his. I walk over to her and hug her tightly. She does this more often than I'd like to admit.

Nick

I wake up to find an empty space next to me. I run to the bathroom and see everyone crowded around Kenzie. I wrapped my arms around Kyla's waist as she whispered in my ear, "Grab the razor and break them all." I do what she says. 

"NO!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! I NEED THOSE!!" Kenzie screams. I freak out. All I could think of doing was holding onto Kyla. She made me happy. Without her I didn't know who I was, she pointed that out to me. I love Kyla and it seemed to take a foot in a face to make me realize it.
