Bullied- a Jenzie story

I love her, that's why. -38

Johnny's POV

*The next morning*

Today is Christmas day. I got no sleep last night, I was too much of a coward to go to Nadia's house. I wanted to sleep at the hospital but Melissa insisted that she would stay and tell me if Mackenzie woke up.

I have to go to Nadia's, even if it is Christmas. I know her family is very religious but I also know that they don't get along very well. When I was with Nadia, she always tried to impress her parents. I think that's one of the reasons why she dated me was because all her parents ever wanted was for her to be with a male that is athletic.

I forced myself to get out of bed. I yawn in the process, I want to go see Mackenzie but I need answers first. I can't believe that she made a letter for me, she really cared for me and I screwed it all up. I shouldn't of listened to Nadia, she just wanted me back and to make Mackenzie hate herself again.

What. A. Bitch.

I stretch my arms out and realize I'm fucking freezing because I don't have a shirt on and am just wearing sweatpants. I quickly go in my closet and throw on a pink sweater. Mackenzie used to tell me when we were 13 that men always looked good in pink. I may or may not have bought a pink sweater because of that.

I decide to keep on the grey sweatpants because I'm lazy and just got up.

I walk downstairs only to see my whole family.

"Good morning Johnny" my mom speaks with glee. How can she be gleeful at a time like this?

"Hi" I reply, bluntly.

"What's wrong?" Lauren speaks from the kitchen table, Maddie (my sister) and Darian are also sitting. It looks like they're eating bacon and eggs.

"Didn't you hear?"

"Wh-what happened?" Lauren furrows her eyebrows.

"John, now's not the time to bring it up. Lauren doesn't need to know" Mom speaks, getting serious.

"Yeah John" Darian speaks "It'll ruin her mood." I guess Darian and Maddie know too.

"What's happening?" Lauren interferes. "Please tell me"

"Mackenzie tried to commit suicide" My mom blurts out, looking down.

"Way to bring the Christmas cheer" Maddie mutters under her breath.

This is how Lauren found out. My dad cooking eggs and bacon on the stove while Darian Maddie and her were sitting eating. I was coming down the stairs and my mom started to talk. Then I brought it up. And to put the cherry on top, It was on Christmas morning.

Oof.

"You've got to be kidding" Lauren stands up from her seat, tears pouring out. "Please tell me this is a joke John" She looks at me, wanting me to say something. I don't "Mom?" she looks at her, my mom doesn't speak either.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" she sobs while screaming out. Darian stands up to hug her, Lauren rejects it. "Stop" she pushes Darian off while storming to her room.

"Lauren" my mom calls but it's too late. She's upstairs.

"Unbelievable" I shout at my mom

"John"

"No!" I shout at her. "How dare you not tell Lauren, she deserves to know!" I cry out. "I know you always want a perfect family but you wouldn't even tell her about Mackenzie!" I shout. "Are you embarrassed by Mackenzie or something? All Mackenzie needed was us mom!" I start to quiet down my voice. "She just needed someone" I sob quietly. I grab my keys and run off to the door.
