Chapter 1

Kenzie's POV

I was currently on the set of The Scorch Trials with Tommy. He would invite me on set sometimes, whenever I had time off or wasn't filming day for a movie. I was eating food and messing with Tommy. I would always stand behind the cameras and make him laugh so he would have to start over.

"Kenny, I figured I'd find you here!" Tommy shouts, walking into the backstage area.

"Did you finally finish?" I ask.

"Yeah, no thanks to you, shank!" He replies, taking a seat next to me.

"Oh, you know you love me!" I retort.

"Of course, love. I couldn't ask for a better best friend than you!" He simply states, giving me a side hug.

"What do you want to do for the rest of the day?" He asks.

"Why don't we just hit the town and go bar hopping or something." I reply.

"Sounds good to me, love." He says.

We finish eating our dinner and decide to hit the town. As we're messing around, I almost run into a guy.

"Oy, watch where your going!" Thomas exclaims.

"Do you have a problem, mate!" The other guy says.

I pull Thomas by the arm, "Tommy, c'mon, it's not worth it!" I plead with him.

I finally manage to pull him away from a fight. We head to the first bar we see. We end up bar hopping for the rest of the night, but we end up at some bar that I don't even remember the name of. But, I end up bumping into the guy I bumped into earlier with Tommy.

"Ay, your that girl from earlier. I was hoping to run into you again. Was that guy your boyfriend or something? He looked familiar." He says to me.

"Who, Tommy? No, Tommy and I have been best friends since we were little. We don't have any romantic feelings for each other whatsoever. Tommy is in The Maze Runner series, he plays Newt. He invites me on set when I have days off or when I'm not filming a movie." I reply.

"I'm glad you have a friend like him, it's always good to have friends like that. Who will defend you, no matter what. I respect guys like that. Is he here with you now?" He asks.

"Um, he's around here somewhere, probably chatting up with some of his mates. He's got a girl back home, so he probably just ran into some mates or something." I reply.

I hear a commotion starting up and look around, I see Tommy and some guy about to start throwing punches.

"Oh bloody hell!" I comment.

As I get between them and try to break up the fight, I feel fist connect with my head and I'm out cold.

********

As I come to, I feel a soft surface beneath me. I assume I'm in my apartment or Tommy's house. I hear crying besides me and I open my eyes to see Tommy sitting besides me with his head in his hands, sobbing.

I groan as I feel a pain in my head as I try to sit up. Tommy shoots his head up and looks at me with a look of relief on his face.

"Oh bloody hell, I'm so glad your okay!" Is the first thing he says.

"What happened?" I asked.

"That guy was going to punch me, but you got between us before I could pull back my hand. I punched you in the bloody head. I'm so sorry, love!" He says.

"Tommy, it's not your fault. I shouldn't have gotten in the middle of it. That guy probably would have ended up punching me in the face if you hadn't done anything, so you probably saved me!" I reply.

"I'm so glad your okay though, there's someone here to see you." He says.

He helps me out of bed and down the stairs, since my head still hurts a bit.

Louis came to join me on the couch, "How are you feeling?" He asks.

"I'm alright, a little sore though." I reply.

"Love, I have to go pick up Bella since her car is in the shop. I'll see you soon!" He says, coming over to give me a kiss on the head before heading out the door.

"I love how close you two are." Louis comments.

"He's really all I have left, besides Kaya, Ki Hong Lee, and Dylan." I reply.

"What happened to your family, love?" He asks.

"They were killed in a car accident, I was the only one that survived. The doctors couldn't figure how I survived since our car went underwater. Tommy saw my car floating in the water before it went under and rescued me, it took him awhile to pull me out. By the time he went back to save my parents, sister, and brother, it was too late. I barely made it, was in a coma for a month after that. It was hard for Tommy and Iz to tell me that my family didn't make it. I freaked out after that, it was hard for them to watch. I had tons of nightmares and panic attacks after that. I wasn't able to live on my own after that, so I moved in with Tommy and Iz. They've helped me so much, I owe my life to them. Tommy helped me the most though, I wanted to kill myself so many times and he saved me everytime. I owe so much to those two." I reply.

Just then, my phone rings. It was my ex.

K: Brandon, what do you want?

B: I hear you might have a new boytoy? Another pity date? I bet he just feels bad for you, you don't deserve him. He probably thinks your pathetic, just like your family. They thought you were pathetic, so they left you.

K: T-that's not true!

B: Sure it is. Your just a pathetic little girl who no one likes! Trust me, Kenzie, the guy probably doesn't even like you!

K: It's not t-true. S-stop, please.

B: Oh my god, you sound so pathetic! Just stop, stop trying and go wallow in your sorrows someone else. Honestly, I don't know how anyone could actually stand dating you!

Just then, the phone is taken away from me.

"Listen here you piece of shit, I'm going to block this number. I'm going to get a restraining order against you. I will do whatever the hell I need to do so you leave Ken alone. I swear to God, I'm going to find you tomorrow and beat the shit out of you, you piece of shit!" Tommy says before hanging up the phone, but I'm already long gone.

"C'mon love, come back to me!" He says, taking both of my hands in his.

He leans his head against mine, "Listen to my breathing and try to match it." He says.

"I-i c-can't, T-t-tommy." I try to say.

"Yes you can, Kenny. I know you can. I'm right here with you, love. I promise, I'm not going anywhere." He assures me.

"Why won't he leave me alone? What did I do to make him hate me so much? All I did was love him!" I say breathlessly.

"I don't know, love. Don't believe a word he says." He tells me.

"Tommy, it hurts!" I cry out in pain.

"I know, love, just let it out!" He says, pulling me into a hug.

I end up crying myself to sleep, but just before I lose consciousness I hear Tommy say, "I promise love, everything is going to be okay!"
