Open When • JO MFZ COMPLETED

Chapter 41 • I Missed You

Mackenzie's POV

"This letter shouldn't have been called open now because it would've ruined the present I got you (start turning now) it should've be called open when I come home," I say as I turn completely around and look up gasping, covering my mouth with his hands.

There he stood. Roses in hand, a present now on top of his head. He stood there smiling at me.

Everyone watched and recorded the whole time. Watching my reaction.

I stood there surprised, starting to cry happy tears. In the back I heard some of my friends laughing but, I could care less at the moment. I fell to my knees and started sobbing. Not believing he's actually here.

John walks closer to me, which made me instant jump back to my feet and tackle him in a hug. Wrapping my legs around his torso and my arms around his neck I cried into his shoulder as he hugged me back. Holding me tightly.

Everyone started clapping and shouting. While I just cried into his shoulder. Taking in his scent.

"I'm home baby," he whispers.

I just cry harder because I missed hearing his voice. I missed hearing him, I missed seeing him. I missed him.

Eventually he puts me down and I let go of him. Still crying hysterically but, all happy tears and begin laughing a bit.

"How did you do this?" I asked.

"It was planned the whole time. We found out that we were going to come back so I asked if we could plan this whole thing to surprise you," Johnny explained.

"My Mom and I told everybody. I told them after you left Carson's house the other week and my mom told the parents the night they all went out to dinner," Lauren explained.

"Then Lauren texted me, explained the whole thing and I made sure you got out of bed and out of the house this afternoon," Maddie added.

I smiled and wiped my eyes, hugging Johnny again.

"Thank you so much!"

"It's not problem," he whispered.

I let go of him a second time and can't help but to smile. I couldn't stop smiling. It was the greatest thing ever.

"Here, why don't you kids go catch up, we'll make dinner and get it ready," Dad suggested.

We nodded and I took John's hand and our friends and us walked together upstairs and to my room.

Where right before we entered, Johnny held me bridal style and carried me into my room and laid me on my bed. Then laying between my legs he rested his head on my stomach. Wanting me to play with his hair.

I laughed did as he wanted. Just because I missed doing this.

"That was the greatest thing ever," Lexi stated, taking a seat.

Everyone else nodded agreeing with her statement.

"Look at this!" Ruby said, showing us the video she got just a few minutes ago.

We laughed a bit as we watched it. I still couldn't help but to smile, which made me look at Johnny and kiss him.

I missed his lips. I missed him entirely. Everything about him.
