25.

brandon arrived at kenzie's doorstep and fixed his hair. he was starting to develop feelings for her, so he wanted to look presentable. he rang the doorbell and melissa answered the door and welcoming him in as he then waited for kenzie by the foot of the stairs.

kenzie came down in her dress and a denim jacket. "y-you look beautiful. but can't say you'll escape the killer with that," brandon grinned as kenzie slapped him on the arm playfully.

"shall we get going, m'lady?" he said with charm as kenzie gripped onto his arm and entered the night.

"i don't think she likes me anymore, mark." johnny spoke as they were walking to ruby's house.

"come on, don't put yourself down! if she can't see how boyfriend material you are, then she's not the one." mark stated and smiled.

"but i'm not boyfriend material. i dated two girls at once!" johnny said.

"dude, that's not true. maisie is just a- liar. we'll get her back in this party tonight! hopefully she's the one who gets killed." mark said as he kicked a pebble.

"i don't think that's a very good idea." johnny said looking at mark.

"oh please, you know you want her to die. she destroyed your relationship with the first person you ever actually loved!" mark said throwing up his hands in the air.

"what do you think of brandon? i don't trust him." mark asked.

johnny took a moment to think, and said, "i don't know if i like him. he stole kenz from me. but he's making her happy, as long as she's happy it's okay. but they're not dating yet, but i think they will soon."

"don't worry, you're better than him. did you get that? better!" mark stated. they saw brandon and kenzie coming as the four arrived at ruby's doorstep and rang the doorbell.

"hey guys! come in!" ruby said gesturing them in.

"okay, we should like have guards. two down here and two upstairs." mark suggested.

"alright. i'll go with johnny." kenzie said and johnny smiled.

"come on! i have to go with him?" mark groaned in disappointment. brandon smirked at mark and said, "come on markiepoo."

"we'll go to upstairs," kenzie stated, grabbing johnny's hand as they went up.

"ruby's room?" she asked.

"yeah. sure." he responded.

mark looked around ruby's house and ignored brandon as he followed. suddenly brandon wondered , "why do you hate me so much?"

"i don't hate you, okay? i just highly dislike you and don't trust you." mark replied and looked at him.

"and why is that?" brandon asked, yet again.

"you made john hurt. you're overly charming and sly. you give me evil looks all the time and it creeps me out a little. i could go on and on," mark stated as brandon listened.

johnny and kenzie looked more around the room just in case ruby was associated with these killings. suddenly, the door opened and johnny and kenzie ran inside ruby's closet of attires. kenzie was facing johnny and they gazed into eachother's eyes.

"if any you punks are in here, get out!" ruby said as they tried not to laugh. "k then. no one in here."

johnny pushed out but he and kenzie fell and were on top of eachother. at that point their noses were already touching and their lips felt like it was just a centimeter away. johnny leaned in a little, about to close the gap in between them until mark came in.

"oh my- i'm sorry i interrupted- whatever this is?" mark apologized as kenzie and johnny got up.

"it's okay really. we weren't doing anything," kenzie said, slightly lying.

"okay then, i'll be going out of here now so you can make jenzie children." mark said as johnny and kenzie exchanged looks and threw pillows at mark. "hey!"

abruptly came in a gun shot in the floor below and they ran downstairs. nobody was hurt. johnny tried to see who it was, but failed at the attempt. they looked around as people were panicking and running.

mark looked everywhere he could as fast as he can but didn't see the killer. brandon was looking for kenzie but all the people were blocking the way.

kenzie looked around, until she felt a bullet going through her head and fell. johnny saw and ran to her immediately.

"kenzie.. please don't go." he cried, as she looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"d-don't worry about me. it's okay." she said looking at his green eyes. "i'm just glad i'm here with y-you. it's always been you. i l-love you, johnny. but please, tell my sister." she said as she struggled to say her last words. her heart was no longer beating as she passed. johnny held onto her as she was in his arms, lifeless.

brandon and mark saw her and ran to her. brandon held her as johnny saw the one and only killer. he couldn't believe it. why him?

his own father killed her.

"why did you shoot her, dad? why? just why?" he yelled as he saw his dad.

"financial-" dale said until johnny interrupted. "no! why did you do that to her? for stupid money? i don't even care anymore about your cash! i loved her," he cried once more.

"j-johnny," he said.

"no, don't johnny me. i never want to see you again." johnny yelled as dale walked away.
