Annie's POV

"Annie, who is that?" Hayden said, trying to keep his cool.

 I didn't respond because I was still mad at him. "Annie, I'm not going to repeat myself. Who. Is. That?" He said gritting his teeth. 

I just rolled my eyes and said,  "It's none of your business" 

"It is my business, I want to make sure you're safe and -"

"Oh my god, Hayden!" I almost laughed at how ironic that was, "We are not together, and last time I checked you are the reason I will never feel safe again."

I felt tears starting to come out of my eyes but I sucked it up and ran out the door. Man, thank god Brennan left because if he didn't that would be awkward.

Right before the elevator door closed a girl walked in. Someone I thought I would never see again, or so soon.

"Hey, Mackenzie," I say trying to make conversation. 

"Hi. Annie." The elevator remained quiet until we were let out. 

"Kenzie, I am so, sorry. Especially after Hayden, I should've listened to you about boys. But I didn't and now I'm here with a record of 2 abusive exes in like, 5 months." 

She didn't say anything for a while but finally spoke up after we were out of the building. "Annie, I missed you so much!" She said jumping in my arms. "I'm sorry" she apologized. 

"No it was my fault and you were right, about both of them," I said. "Hey let's forget about boys, why don't we go to the mall and catch up," she asks. "I'd be happy to" I reply.

Right now I'm texting Kenzie about plans we made tomorrow. It feels so good to have your best friend back. Right after I hit send, my door opened. In walked, Mr. Summerall.

"Annie please talk to me," he says after I ignore him the entire 20 minutes he was here. "Just let me explain the entire thing. You never let me in the first pla-"

"NO, Hayden. Just stop. I gave you way too many chances to 'explain'. It just ended up with me getting hurt. Physically". I stated. "So please just leave me alone."

"Annie we're roommates, how am I supposed to leave you alone?" He looked tired.

 "Fine, I guess I'll get a new roommate" I replied. 

"But I'm not leaving. Neither are you, I lost you once and I'm not going to lose you again" he said confidently.

Hayden Summerall you are going to be the death of me.

"You can't tell me if I can move out or not!" I yell.

"Okay, then where are you going to go?" I haven't really thought about that. I had to think quickly if I wanted to win this battle.

"Kenzie's, she's on this floor," I say.

  "You guys are friends again?"

"Again? How did you know we had a fight?" I ask. 

"Nothing. Nevermind. You can leave if you want then. I don't care" he said turning around and walking into the bathroom. I almost felt bad.

I woke up from the best dream I've ever had and grabbed my phone. There were 3 texts from Brennan.

Hey!
Come on babe 🙄
I'm sorry

I turn off my phone not wanting to see his name again and I notice Hayden's not here. Whatever. I don't care.

I got out of bed and got ready for my first day of classes.

~~~
I'm currently in my last class and it's my only class with Hayden in it, and I can't seem to focus because he is in it.

I would sometimes catch him looking at me. And when he's not, I'm looking at him.

After classes, Kenz and I get some coffee and talk about our lives without each other. I felt like there was something missing from this conversation but I just can't put my finger on it. 

"So any new college boys for you?" She asks. That's it. Boys.

"Kenzie, where's Johnny?"
