McKenzie has trust issues and no interest in boys because of her last boyfriend, but when there's a new guy at school she just can't help but fall head over heals for him.
Reece and I were just sitting in his room on his bed when Tina barged through the door without even knocking.
Before any one of us could say anything. She threw a phone into Reece's hands and stood there right in front of us with her arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed.
"what is this.. ?" Reece said as I watch him scroll through messages on what appears to be Kenz's phone. Tina didn't respond. "Tina... what is this?!" He said.. raising his voice this time, making eye contact with her. Even I was frightened.
I take the phone out of his hand and began to read:

What the actually fuck. How long has this been happening? Before thinking... I throw the phone and run into Kenz's room where I last saw her.. but she isn't there. I check the bathroom, her parents room, and even the guest room. She isn't there.
I start yelling her name as I run downstairs. "KENZ!! MCKENZIE!! KENZ!!" I've now checked every room and can't find her. I'm worrying and I don't know what to do. Soon I'm joined by Tina and Reece who didn't even ask questions but began looking for her right away.
I run to their backyard and look around, she's still no where to be seen. Then suddenly, I hear my name "BLAKE! WE'VE GOT HER!" I hear Reece yell from inside. I run inside and immediately embrace her in my arms.
"Where was she?" I ask quietly trying not to disturb her as she lay her head on my chest. "She was out side... sitting in the middle of the road..." Reece said as he takes her from my arms and grips her tightly.
Tina scurries to the kitchen and gets her a glass of water. It kills me to see her like this. Why is he torturing her? Why wouldn't she tell me? I have so many questions but I can worry about them later. Right now I need to make sure she's okay.
We all go sit on the couch and Tina rings Hannah and tells her everything that just happened. We wrapped her in a blanket because she was shivering so badly from being outside in the cold in just shorts and tank top.
I hold her hands in mine and don't let my eyes leave hers. "Why wouldn't you tell me?" I say quietly not wanting to scare her. She bite her lip "I didn't want you to be ashamed of me. I didn't want you guys to be embarrassed or mad. I just didn't—" I couldn't let her finish.
