Kenzie's POV
"Kenzie.." Hunter sighs sitting next to me in his bed. It's been a day. A full 24 hours without seeing Brandon's face. I still can't grasp the fact that he's gone. It just seems so surreal. That he's not alive anymore. That he was alive and breathing one minute and not the next. "Babe." Hunter sighs rubbing my back. I haven't moved from his bed since he brought me here yesterday morning, the day we left the hospital. "Kenz come on you have to move." He sighs trying to move me. "No Hunter. I want to stay here. I just want to stay here and cry." I sigh. "Babe you have to move at some point. And eat. Eating is good for you." He sigh getting up and walking to what I assume to be the kitchen. Ashton comes in next and hugs me tightly. "Im sorry Bubs." I sigh hugging him. "I'm sorry." He sighs hugging me back. He hands me something. "It's Brandon's Phone case my mom and I wanted you to have it. It's signed and everything. We thought you might want it as a piece of him. And she said that you can take a hoodie or two out of his closet if you wanted." He smiles. I nod and get up.i go into Brandon's room and grab a 2 hoodies out of his closet. One thet was his mercy to wear around and the other being one of his favorites, to keep. To hold when the nights were rough. I put the phone case on my phone and go back into Hunter's room and fall back into his bed. I run my fingers up and down the phone case. He loved the case a lot. It was a custom made one. A collage or pictures of him and fans and one of the two of us, hidden so only the ones who looked closely could see. To me it was a remind of our relationship. To him it was a piece of his story he didn't want to let go. I was a piece of his story he didn't want to let go. Hunter walks in with food on a plate. "Hunter
I can't eat.." I sigh looking at the food. "You need to eat MacKenzie!" He says sternly. I look at him shocked. Brandon's death took a toll on all of us, in very different ways. We all decided to quick social media for a while to grieve in peace. Ashton hasn't been on his phone much, that being his sacrifice. Hunter has been watching me 24/7 to distract the pain. He was watching me all last night. He even whispered "I'm too afraid you'll stop breathing in your sleep. I let go of Brandon. I'm not letting go of you too." Something you say to someone sick or dying. Christine has been baking a lot. And the fans, they've been supporting more than ever, R.I.P. Brandon fan pages everywhere. Brandon's dish hit everyone. Our friends check in all the time making sure we're ok. "My mom, Ashton and I are going to the store. You'll be fine right?" Hunter asks. I nod and peck his lips. "Love you." He sighs walking out the door. "Love you too." I sigh. Once their gone I set up my phone on his desk and go live on Instagram. People start trickling in and the comments fill with sorrys and contributes to Brandon. "As you know, Brandon's death has taken a toll on all of us." I sigh starting the speech I had prepared in my head. "As you know, Hunter, Ashton and I are all going to quit social media. But I just wanted to explain things to you guys." I sigh. "I had nothing to do with Brandon's death. I don't know why people are saying that. But some people are. He got hit by a car. A drunk driver. And the man that hit him. Gets to live. I loved Brandon. At one point it was more than it was when he died. But I loved him like a brother. So to say that I did something to kill him. That's a new low." I sigh and read some of the comments. They were mostly positive. "Brandon's death was hard. For all of us. But especially for me. I broke his heart." I say as tears well up in my eyes. "He cut my name into his wrist. He loved me and all I did was fall for his brother. I know I'm a horrible person for that." I wipe the tears from my cheek. "I can't do this." I sigh. "I'll try and be on social media soon. But it could take months. I love you guys." I sigh ending the live. I walk into the bathroom and go into the medicine cabinet. The front door opens and I grab a random pill bottle, open it up and look at the 7 pills in my hand. "Babe?" Hunter asks as I hear footsteps coming towards me. I throw the pills in my mouth. I try swallowing but couldn't. Hunter walks into the bathroom and sees the pills. "MacKenzie spit them out now!" He yells. I refuse to. "MOM!" Hunter yells. Christine runs upstairs and looks at the pill bottle. "Kenz. Spit them out." She says walking towards me. "Kenz." She sighs wrapping her arms around me. "This isn't the answer.." she sighs. I spit them out into the sink. She hugs me tightly. I look over at Hunter who was crying. I hug him tightly. "Why?" He sighs. "I wanna be with Brandon." I whisper.
