chapter 21- Change?

"Why did you make me do this." and with that he walked away, I tried my hardest not to cry but water falls came down and they did not stop.

I look towards Brandon and he hugs me letting me cry on him

"It's going to be fine" he whispers and with that I let all the tears that were stored up in there fall out as much as they wished.

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

Johnny's POV

I walk out of her house slamming the door behind me. Brandon stayed I'm not very sure why but at least there's someone there for her..

I feel my eyes getting watery and red. I close my eyes and not even moments later the tears drip off my eyelashes, my life's a mess but hers is worse and I just went ahead and said something dumb that I didn't understand and I knew it would hurt her but I said it anyways.

I put my head down and as I look up, I see Maddie, Melissa and some other looking for something. I wipe my tears and walk up to them

"J-johnny h-ave you seen Mackenzie?" Maddie says out of breath from running up and down town

"S-she's at your house" I reply heartbroken. Maddie tells the other and they all rush there except from Madison herself, she looks at me and gives me several long looks.

"What's going on?" she asks me, I look up at her and couldn't help but tear up once more

"I-i messed up again." she looks at me with her worried light blue eyes and gave me a hug

"One thing I know is that she likes you ok?! You can't give up now, you've never given up on Kenzie since you lot were two feet tall so don't do it now." she says re-assuring me but I turn away

"she gave up on me" I whisper and she looks down, she knew it was true. She knew I was right and it broke my heart to see that I've been chasing someone who gives up on me as soon as there is someone else in her life..

"Go home John, go rest, you need it. You're young, we're young, what do we know of love?" I slowly nod but turn back to her

"Madison, thank you..."

"It's Maddie goof ball" she chuckles and walks off, she is honestly like the big sister I've always hoped was around, mine are never around anymore so yeah...

"I don't need love to be complete do I?" whispering to myself, I place my hands in my pockets and walk home where I found Lauren sitting on the front porch. Me and the Ziegler live 'right next door' no not really , next door to us is a block away just wanted to clear it up, I often say next door or in front a lot.

"JOHNNY" she runs to me and hugs me , my hands remain in my pockets while she checks me for bruises. I grab her hand slowly and shake my head, she lets out a sigh of relief and drags me inside into the living room.

"Is anyone home?"

"No, business trip" she says sitting down and letting me sit beside me

" When will I ever actually win her over, I've tried so hard!"

"Then stop trying." and with no expression at all she looks to me waiting for my response

"That's what you want to hear right?I mean you've been fighting all this time so maybe just give up" I could see that behind that straight face, laid her real expression. Anger, confusion and so forth

"I'm sorry." I blurt out breaking the awkward silence

"Stop hurting her. That's all I ask of, talk to Sophia come to a deal or whatever but STOP hurting her.." she rose her voice and then slowly let it fade in the silence and with that she left the room. I wanted to burst into tears, I wanted to scream really loud, I wanted this all to end.

I run up to my room and slam the door shut, it's better to give up then fight over something that- that..

I look upon our picture, me and Mackenzie, first winter dance and she was kissing my cheek. I looked tomato red.. We've always gone together as friends of course, but since Hayden came I've either gone alone or with old friend Nadia, she's not a love interest we were best friends and she just used to get me before we lost contact..

I snatch it off the stand and throw it to the wall making the glass smash into little pieces. That was my favourite picture because Kenzie was herself. She liked football and basketball, she would never swap nails over a guitar, she would always choose being with me over going to family holidays even though she would have to go either way. I miss her , so much and it hurts that she's no longer that Mack Z that I knew..

"WAIT MACK Z COME BACK" johnny yells out bursting into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.

"QUIT MAKING FUN OF MY NEW NAME" she stops in her path and looks at him

"I'm not! I love it!" a smile appears on Mackenzie's face and her face turns vibrant pink

"You're totally blushing!" he says nudging her arm and she punches his

"Am not! Friends don't blush" she explains making johnny confused, he laughs it out and she stops him

"But we're seven we're allowed to blush" he replies making her giggle, she then turns to him with concern in her eyes.

"Will you be my friend forever? I don't want to be alone." her eyes divert to her feet and her hair sways upon her face.

"Of course I will! Here let's draw our names on this tree to signify our friendship" he says holding her in a huge hug

They both carve their names onto the tree that connected the path to their homes together, the tree behind the garden, the tree that withered whenever they did, the tree that held their friendship together.

they both smile to each other and look at the carving that stated "K+J FOREVER" in a love heart.

"Thank you" she says holding his hands

"MACKENZIE TIME TO COME IN SWEETIE"

"I've gotta go, love you John" she runs off leaving Johnny a little kiss on the cheek

"LOVE YOU TOO.." he replies loudly enough for her to hear, she really did make him happy and as long as this carving was alive , so was their friendship.

Oh yea.. I totally forgot about the tree.

A/N: hey, thanks for the people who nominated me on the Jenzie award! Btw 5K that's crazy!

qotd:"Life is too short to worry about stupid things. have fun. fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down"
