we get back to the dorms and i call tyler.
"hey, can you come outside and help me get mackenzie to bed? she's zonked out in the passenger seat." i say nervously. 
"dude! where have you been?!...i almost called the cops whenever i couldnt find either of you, i had to wake up aurora! her roomate! " he screams threw the phone. 
"alright lets not make a scene...i'll explain everything when we get her to bed and back to the room...hurry though its getting cold out here!" i assure him. 
10 minutes later i see tyler walking out of the building wearing a tshirt, pajama pants, and a beanie. 
"where's kenzie?" he growls.
"dont worry, shes asleep in the passenger seat"
he goes over to her side of the truck and notices the window is busted. 
"what happened to the window?!"  
he looks down at my hand.
"you didnt...."
"im not going to lie to you tyler, i kinda got mad, and punched the window..." i laugh.
he rolls his eyes, grits his teeth and sighs. 
"just help me get her to bed" he says.
he picks her up and carries her back to his room and sets her on the bed. 
"explain now..." he says angrily. 
"ok, well, we went out to a spot that i found along the river that has the most perfect view of the city, we got into a conversation walking back to the truck after we talking for like 2 hours by the river...i blacked out and hit the window..."
"why did you do it?" he gives me a worried look. 
"tyler, i have a rough past thats all im going to say." 
"what about her?" he looks at his sister. "how do i know you wont hit her?" 
"i would never  hit her tyler...for many different reasons." 
"i wanna trust you daniel, i really do...but you did this tonight..." he points at my hand. "how can you just let yourself do something like this?" 
he sits on the futon and puts his head in his hands. 
"she just got out of a really bad relationship with this guy named roy...shes still alittle messed up about it...he was her first love...i dont need another guy to break my sisters heart and expect me and peter to clean it up...or my father. she's smart, yeah, but she is still figuring out how to love again..." he sighs.  "just if you really like her, treat her as your one and only, your all, your princess. dont be the douschebag to bang and leave her....that why shes like what she is today...he took advantage of her and left...never to be seen or heard from again..." he looks at me. 
"theres so much more that you dont know about but im not going to tell you, im going to let mackenzie tell you herself when shes comfortable...its not my place. 
"im sorry you had to go threw all of that with her tyler...but i promise to try to be the best boyfriend shes ever had or will have...and i know i promise because when i first saw her my first thought was "im going to love that girl someday".  
i look at tyler, get up go over to kenzie, and kiss her on the forehead. 
"i love you"
