Because of Lauren ✔ Jenzie

45. "Not good."

A/N: CHAPTER DEDICATED TO OrlandoZiegler

She binged on this story a couple days ago, and I forgot to give her a dedication. Her comments are hilarious omg. 

I just want to say, I'm sorry if I don't reply back to ur comments. I read all of them, but I usually don't reply bc I can't think of anything to say. I'M AWKWARD!

JOHNNY'S POV:

I lazily jump out of bed, grabbing my phone from my bedside table. It was only 5:30 AM. School doesn't start for another 3 hours.

But I couldn't care less, I just wanted to get out of my room. I haven't slept for 2 days. And I'm miserable. I skipped school yesterday, because I was too tired to go.

Before the fight I had with Mackenzie, I only got in a few hours of sleep. Now it's down to 0. I've stayed up all night, thinking about Kenzie.

I messed up, big time. And I know that now. 

I'm even more tired than I was yesterday, and that's saying something. But I'm sick of being in my room all day, I want to go out. School is the only place I am currently able to go to.

I got changed into a pair of gray sweatpants, and grabbed the first shirt I saw.

I'll be bored out of my mind if I goto my classes, maybe I can just hang out somewhere in the school? Yeah. I'll do that.

I called Hayden, asking him if he'd like to go to school a little early and ditch class with me. He accepted the offer, and said he'd pick me up with his car at 7. (Hayden is 14. Let's just say he can drive.)

I waited one more hour, then Hayden arrived. When I got into his car, he noticed how tired I was. I had bags under my eyes, and I was practically walking like a zombie. He didn't say anything, but I can tell he wanted to.

I've been moody the past couple of days. As Lauren says, 'more moody than usual.' Partly because I'm not getting much sleep. But also because things between Kenzie and I aren't good at the moment.

I don't know how to fix our problems. Apologizing isn't an option. I doubt she'll come running and confess her undying love for me (A/N: That's exactly what she did lmao).

Once we reached the school, we went to the back of the building- where the junkyard is held. We didn't want to get caught by any teachers for skipping class. They junkyard is kind of abandoned, so no one would come waltzing in- unlike last time.

Just thinking about the last time I came here gives me chills. Hayden beat me up for 'stealing Annie' from him. Mackenzie and Annie witnessed most of it too.

Hayden and I never actually apologized to each other. It was more of a silent apology. We're best friends, and we need each other. He didn't understand the situation, and that wasn't his fault. 

I honestly don't regret that day. I got to spend more time with Mackenzie, after she took me home. I guess it's a win-win for both Hayden and I. He got a passionate hug with Annie, while I got Mackenzie all to myself for a few hours.

All of the scratches and bruises healed pretty quickly. The whole school has somehow forgotten about that day Mackenzie carried me down the halls, while I was bearly awake.

Hayden and I found 2 dusty stools, and sat on them. Our conversation first started off with sports, then shoes. Suddenly. Hayden brought up Mackenzie.
