An Unexpected Love {Editing}

Hunter

Brandon just left Kenzie's house and I wanted to go and visit. I knocked on the door. Kenzie opened the door and pulled me into a hug. 

"I am so sorry I didn't hang out with you at all. I feel really bad how can I make it up to you?" By being mine. 

"I'm dating Brandon though." 

"Oh I said that out loud..." 

"Yeah." She says laughing. WHY IS THIS GIRL SO FREAKING ADORABLE I LOVE HER SOOOOOO MUCH BUT SHE DOESN'T FEEL THE SAME AND IT KILLS ME!!! 

"How about we spend the rest of the time that you're here together?" She says. 

"But Brandon," I say. 

"Don't worry about Brandon. He can go hang out with Peyton or whatever," She says in an annoyed tone. 

"Okay, and you know that Brandon didn't want to kiss her. I wouldn't let him cheat on you. And if he did he would be stupid. I mean who would cheat on an amazing, beautiful, and funny girl. Any guy would be so dang lucky to call you there's and if Brandon wants to waste what could be the best thing that ever happens to him. I'll punch him in the face." I say. She pulls me into a hug and I kiss the top of her head. 

"What do you want to do first?" I ask. 

"Ummm. STARBUCKS!!" We say at the same time. We both laugh and then walk out. 

"Wait I need to change." She says. She was in pajamas. She ran upstairs and changed. When she got downstairs I almost fell over. She was wearing a crop top with the words "I love you to the moon and back" printed on it, some shorts, and some high top converse. THIS GIRL KNOWS WHAT I LIKE!! 

"You look amazing!!" I say obviously not thinking. 

"Why thank you." She says smirking. 

"Look I have to tell you something," I say as we get into the car. 

"And that is?" I want to tell her how I feel. I'll probably sound stupid. I'm not going to do it. Wait but I should. FML!! 

"I really really really really like you Kenzie. I've liked you from the start. For 2 years I fell deeper and deeper. And I tried stopping myself but it is impossible. I love you. I always have. But I guess fairy tales don't come true because you fell for Brandon." I say as tears build in my eyes. 

"I like you too. And I didn't fall for Brandon. I mean I did but it wasn't as hard as I fell for you. I would've told you but I guess I'm just too afraid of falling and not being caught. Now I regret saying yes to Brandon because I want you. I always have I always will and I love you. Brandon is just a stupid crush you.. you were my first love. You always have been." She says back. That touched my heart. She actually likes me back. I didn't think miracles were real but I just witnessed one.

Brandon
I was laying in bed when my phone buzzed. It was a notification from Instagram. Kenzie posted a picture. It was of her and Hunter. The caption was, "This smile only exists when your around <3." I was furious. I called Hunter. 

"Hey." He said all innocent. 

"Where are you?" I ask. 

"At Starbucks with Kenzie. Why?" He says. 

"DO YOU LIKE HER OR SOMETHING??" 

"Brandon you know I like her. I love her. And be lucky I didn't tell her what you were doing yesterday. She doesn't deserve you. You cheated. Not once but twice and I bet Peyton is at your house right now." I heard a cry in the background. I knew that it was Kenzie. 

"Baby girl it's okay," Hunter says. 

"No, no its not. I got to go." Kenzie says. My heart drops. I hang up and about 5 minutes later Kenzie runs into my room with a tear-stained face. 

"HOW COULD YOU?" She screams at me. 

"HUNTER IS A LIAR!!" I scream lying. I did hook up with Peyton twice. I don't know what is wrong with me. 

"I DON'T CARE ANYMORE. I AM DONE WITH THIS. I'M DONE WITH US!" She yells. Tears just stream down my face. She runs out and Hunter runs in. 

"YOU TOLD HER!!! I TOLD YOU IT WOULD STOP!! I TOLD YOU IT WAS A MISTAKE!!" I yell at him. 

"I TOLD YOU SHE IS A SMART GIRL. I TOLD YOU SHE WOULD FIND OUT. I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HER. SHE FOUND OUT HERSELF. I TOLD YOU NOT TO TAKE HER FOR GRANTED I TOLD YOU SHE WAS AMAZING. I TOLD YOU SHE WAS WORTH IT! DID YOU BELIEVE ME? OBVIOUSLY NOT OR SHE WOULD STILL BE YOURS. YOU DON'T DESERVE HER. GO WITH PEYTON. DATE PEYTON. MARRY PEYTON. BUT DON'T TALK TO KENZIE. DON'T COME CRYING TO KENZIE BECAUSE IT IS YOUR FAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE. SHE DESERVES BETTER." 

"WHATEVER!" I scream back. I curl into a ball on my bed when Peyton walks in. "What's wrong baby?" She asks. 

"DON'T CALL ME BABY!! DON'T COME BY ME GET AWAY FROM ME. I NEVER LIKED YOU. I NEVER WANTED TO BE WITH YOU. I LOVE KENZIE AND IT IS ALL MY FAULT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT SHE WOULDN'T FIND OUT. BUT SHE DID. GET AWAY FROM ME YOU LITTLE SLUT!!" I scream. She scuffs and leaves. When she gets downstairs I hear screaming. It sounded like Kenzie. I run downstairs and see her lying on the floor covering her eye with cuts up and down her arms and legs. Hunter was sitting next to her. 

"What happened?" I ask worried. 

"Your little girlfriend attacked Kenzie." I run and sit next to her. 

"Kenzie??" I say. 

"It's no use... she's unconscious" 

"NO NO NOOOO!!" I scream as the tears escape from my eyes. 

"She'll be fine!" Hunter says. 

"And Peyton isn't my girlfriend. She isn't even a friend. I regret everything. But I regret losing Kenzie most." I say just looking at an unconscious Kenzie lying on the floor. She shifts. 

"Mackenzie?" I say she doesn't move. It didn't even look like she was breathing. 

"Is she breathing? Is she ok?" I ask worried out of my mind. 

"She- Brandon... She's not breathing!!" Hunter says. He pushes on her stomach as I sit and cry like a little baby. After a couple seconds she sits up.

 "What happened?" She asks. 

"Peyton attacked you." 

"Oh. I bet Brandon was behind that. I don't think I can trust him anymore. I don't think I can even talk to him anymore." She says before looking at me. 

"Oh." She says looking at down at the floor. 

"I didn't plan for this to happen I promise. And please talk to me." I say. She just turns her head. 

"Okay. I'm going to go upstairs. Nothing is going to happen." I say walking up the stairs. I go into the bathroom and grab my mom's razor. I cut a K in my arm then an E and so on until Kenzie's name was written on my arm. I let out a little scream as the tears stream down my face. Kenzie runs into the bathroom . 

"Why did you scr-" She stops when she sees the blood. 

"Brandon you didn't." She said looking me in the eye. I just shake my head yes. She looks at my arm. 

"Why?" She asks. 

"Because I can't handle it. I can't handle losing you." 

"It's your fault." She says. 

"I know and I would do anything to take back what I did because Mackenzie Lynn Ross I am in love with you," I say. 

"Don't say my middle name." She says before coming over and cleaning up the blood.

Kenzie
I was cleaning up the blood when I saw what Brandon had cut into his arm. I thought it was just regular cuts but no. It spelled out my name. I won't lie it hurt to see "Mackenzie" cut on his arm. It didn't help that there was a heart with a VERY deep cut going through it.
