chapter 20-Do we stand a chance?

"For the final act we got THE MACKENZIE ZIEGLER performing 'Too good at goodbyes'" I grab my guitar and walk onto the stage.

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

"You must think that I'm stupid

You must think that I'm a fool
You must think that I'm new to this
But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes
I'm way too good at goodbyes

I know you're thinking I'm heartless
I know you're thinking I'm cold
I'm just protecting my innocence
I'm just protecting my soul

I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes
I'm way too good at goodbyes
No way that you'll see me cry

I'm way too good at goodbyes"

I take a deep breathe before getting off stage, yes this song was for John. He must realise that we don't actually stand a chance with each other and that he'll no longer see me crying, or at least that's what I'm aiming for..

"You were great out there! Your voice has come so far since our tour" he looked excited , for some unknown reason

"Thanks" I reply walking away from him to only find him once again grabbing onto my wrist and pulling me onto him, it seems to be a thing now

"Kenzie, meet me please, our spot" with that I roll my eyes and he gives me puppy eyes. To be honest it's like he has an audio tape on him that keep repeating the same thing over and over again it's annoying.

"No." this time i'm not falling for it , I'm not going to hurt myself

"What's your deal?"

"Dude what the fuck, it's like you're oblivious to what you do, I sang that song because of you! I sang it because you for once in your life need to realise that I'm not something you can play with! What you did to me yesterday I'll never actually forget if thats what you want me to do!"

"But I didn't do anything yesterday, the only time we spoke was when I took you into the empty classroom, you've been avoiding me ever since" he replies seeming quite confused but what the actual heck is this, you do something and you suddenly don't remember a thing.

"John leave me alone, didn't I make it clear that I didn't want to see you"

"You did, but I'm not giving up. and I did NOT do anything to you yesterday" I take out my phone and show him the video that Sophia sent to me.. Oh yea about that I- . I don't want to think about it

"But-But I-I d-didnt" is he playing me for a fool or what?!

I immediately walk away leaving him to stutter , totally forgetting that my mom was outside and Greg too , OH and Mads yep yea Maddie too but um I walked right out of talent show not even waiting to hear who won.
