Mackenzie's POV:
-
After arriving home into my comfy bed Maddie immediately hit me with tons of questions. "Is something happening between you and Johnny?" I scoff rolling my eyes but quickly going back to a neutral face. "Why would you think that?"
Now it's Maddie's turn to roll her eyes. "Your reaction when I mentioned his name kinda says a lot." Maddie points out. "Well we always haven't liked each other, what's new?" I shrug grabbing my phone but Maddie slaps my hand making me drop my phone.
"What the heck?" I rub my hand as if it's going to magically make the pain go away.
"Just hours ago Lauren called me squealing because you and Johnny were hanging out. She's been waiting for so long for you guys to become friends again. What happened?" I squeeze my eyes shut sighing.
"Maddie just drop it, can't you see this is a sensitive topic to talk about." I reach for my phone once again but this time Maddie grabs it before I can even tap it. "What now?!" I start getting frustrated with Maddie and her games. "Why can't you talk to me about this?"
I slam the bed with my hand "because Maddie I don't want to talk about a fake ass bitch who almost killed me!" Maddie stared back at me blankly. She bit her lip before speaking again. "I think you're overreacting. You're not letting Johnny get his message across."
"If you were in my situation you'd understand why I'm not forgiving him." Maddie starts to tap my bed getting frustrated. "I'm not asking you to forgive him but I'm asking you to at least listen. Johnny is going through just enough emotional pain as you Kenzie."
I throw my hands up fed up with all of this. "Johnny has hit me , taunt me, make fun of me, ignore me, it came to a point where he made me cry. The second I forgive him is the day I almost died. We wouldn't be here if I didn't forgive me. It's not even about that car crash anymore I'm not forgiving him because I realized what he had done to me doesn't deserve forgiveness at all."
I lightly touch my cheek realizing I've been crying. I aggressively wipe away all of the tears. "Kenzie come on. You're acting as if you didn't treat him badly yourself." I sit there absolutely shocked. "And why are you taking his side in this?"
"I'm just trying to knock some sense into you. I get it you experienced something traumatic but you're putting all the blame on Johnny. You're putting all your anger out on Johnny. I get it, I get it you're allowed to feel upset but just consider Johnny's feelings too."
"Oh my gosh what do you want me to do? You're allowing me to feel upset yet you want me to get over it? Can you just leave?" More tears spill out of my eyes as I just surprisingly sit there calmly. "You're right, you deserve some time to rest. I'm sorry." Was the last words Maddie says before walking out of my room.
