"I HATE YOU MACKENZIE ZIEGLER-" he yells out, I freeze in that spot and tear myself up. I'm doing it, I run out of there as fast as I could and go home , the one place where I really belong. Or do I?

**********************************

NEXT DAY

me: i'm signing up :)

brandon: Yay! Auditions today so hurry;)

me: hehe, i'm on my way

brandon: Can't wait to see what you got

me: i worked on it all night, it's a cover but it better be worth it

brandon: it will XD, see you soon

me: see ya

I put my phone down and get dressed for the day, nothing too over the top just a simple top and a pair of ripped jeans. I smile at myself in the mirror, this could be the start of something new, I've refused to sing ever since the 'Monsters aka Haters' premier party fiasco and now this could maybe change anything.

Looking at the clock, I rush myself downstairs finding Greg on the couch sleeping. No I haven't really known if he has hit her again because I've been avoiding my house for a long time. It used to feel like home.. Now it- I don't know how to describe it...

I pick up my guitar and put the straps over my shoulders leaving it to hang on my back.

I grap a box of Eggos from the freezer and toast them. As soon as they were done I fished them out of the toaster and spread nutella over them, placing some strawberries and bananas on top and then leaving my house while munching on them.

AT SCHOOL

I rush over to the Auditorium Hall which is where the auditions are being held and take a number placing it on my top. The line was small when I arrived but in a blink of an eye the line was HUGE behind me. Seemed like mountains of people behind me. Slowly tapping the person in front of me I ask them if there's a grand prize or anything

"Of course there is! 10,000 big American Dollars! I don't even know how they got it but EVERYONE wants to win"

I thank them and start getting a little nervous, it didn't matter then I wasn't that nervous when I arrived because I was doing it for myself but now I really feel like backing out as soon as I can. Just as I was thinling of leaving the line, a blond girl three people down called my name and she walked up to me.

"Brynn! Hi" I say hugging her, even though she came to stay, she lives a whole 3 blocks down in a hotel due to her house not being quite ready yet, and we don't sit anywhere near each other in any bloody class which is annyoing because I miss my best friend

"Hey! I'm moving to my actual house tomorrow, you know the one next to yours" My mouth swings open and my jaw drops

"OH MY FRIK YOU NEVER TOLD ME" I say surprised

"Then it wouldn't be a surprised would it?" she giggles making me laugh along , now I understand the stupid noise coming from next door. It was under re-modelling inside

"NUMBER 14" they call out and I glimpse at Brynn

"Wish me luck" I say walking in and she yells good luck as I burst in through the doors.

The 'judges' looked pretty friendly and Brandon wasn't there but I guess by hosting he means the actual show and not auditions.

"Name, Age and Talent"

"Mackenzie Ziegler, 15 and playing the guitar and singing"

"You can begin"

I play my guitar while singing and I felt so alive, I was back home, it was like I was on tour again but by myself this time and for me, not for anyone else but myself. I was doing this for my own happiness. I finish up and they all clap, making me smile so much that my cheeks started hurting.

"You are through to the finals Miss Ziegler!" They clap again and I leave the stage hugging Brynn who was backstage getting ready for her own performance

"Good luck boo" I say while the second act after me finishes up.

"NEXT, NUMBER 17" she does the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 thing that we did in competitions as children and goes on stage. She states her name, age and talent and begins dancing.

Watching her dance brought back so many memories, amazing memories

"AHH" I hear coming from the stage seeing Brynn on the ground holding her foot

"ARE YOU OK" I rush to her and she shakes her head

"I think the guy before me used water for his magic act and I ended up slipping while I was coming down into my landing for my aerial. It's just sprained I guess" she looks down and I help her up taking her to the nurses office. The judges call for the dance acts to go last as the stage is not yet dry enough

"It'll be okay" I say to her while she limps quietly not saying a word.

JOHN'S POV

"WAKE UP" she says kicking my stomach as hard as possible making me spring up from the floor

"What the fuck happened?! W-what did you put in the water you-" I start but she interrupts me

"Yea I drugged you. I knew you were planning to break up with me

"I DON'T THINK you want to speak to me like that sugar buns" She smirks while two seniors from our school come out behind her and stand there looking like idiotic bodyguards.

"Oh so this is your plan?" I laugh at this whole thing while she stays completely silent

"I knew I should've just stayed with Mackenzie coz little hoes like you do-" I was interrupted by sudden punching and kicking. I scream for help and fight back but nothing works, they're way stronger than me. One starts punching my face until blood's literally coming out.

I breathe heavily on the floor since I couldn't get up and she takes my phone typing in the password. How the fuck does she know my password?! She scrolls through something and grabs my hair making my head pop up

"You aren't going, you are going to leave her there because who gives two craps about her really. She should've died when she first tried to do so" she giggles at the last sentence and I pull her off my hair. If I would I would beat the crap out of her but I don't hit girls, that's not what we do.

She grabs another cup of water and tells me to drink but instead I spit out all over her, I don't care anymore.

"H-HEL-" I caugh up blood and try to finish the word but she stops me. She looks at herself, grabs a towel and cleans herself then signals the guy on the left something.

"I'm always two steps ahead remember that." As she says it, she walks up to the guy on the right and kisses him, while she does that she looks at me and I spit at her but she does nothing. I try to get up but I end up collapsing. She leaves the room leaving me and the guy on the right alone.

He walks up to me and throws multiple punches at me

"JOHN WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP"

I was woken up by Lauren telling me I was going to be late. It's been three nights since that day and every single one of them I re-call that night the one that wont leave my mind, A shiver is sent right down my spine and I get up

"Everything okay?" She asks me noticing that I'm a bit shook

"Yes everything's just fine" I lie going into my bathroom.

Worst of it all is that nobody can help.

A/N: yo finally done it

qotd: "When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on"
