Hey, Y'all! Thank You SO MUCH for 1k reads 💞💞💞. You all completely made my day. So in honor of 1k reads, this chapter has 1k words enjoy!

"Oh, that's not important right now. I'm asking about you." She's making excuses. 

"Kenzie. What happened?" I asked.

"He cheated on me" she started crying and broke down. How is that possible? I remembered Johnny as the best boyfriend ever. He loved her.

"How? When?" I was shocked and suddenly have the urge to hurt him.

"A couple of weeks after you broke up with Hayden. He was, I don't know, you could say jealous of Hayden." She said. 

"Why would he be jealous?" I say confused.

"After you left, Hayden had freedom. He was a fuckboy and could care less about his life. Johnny wanted that, but I wasn't ready. R-ready for that stuff yet," she cried more. 

"Kenzie did he hurt you?" I asked from personal experience.

"Not physically. He would always bug me about doing it, but he never laid a finger on me without my permission."

Wow. If only Hayden was like that.

"After a while, he got bored of me and I caught him making out with Nadia." She said. 

"Nadia? Nadia Turner? That little slut!" I started getting mad because not only did she hurt Kenzie but she also hurt me. Nadia and Hayden were making out in the hallways the day after our breakup.

"But I'm fine now. It's been a couple of months and I think I'm over him," she says with sadness in her eyes. But she's not over him. I can tell.

I was laying on my bed doing homework when I heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I yelled from my bed. They didn't reply so I kept quiet, maybe I was hearing things. But I heard a knock again and this time it was louder. 

"Who is it!" I say annoyed. They still didn't reply so I got up from my bed to yell at this person for being annoying. It could be Hayden, but he has his keys so why would he knock? I looked through the peephole and whoever was outside the door covered it up.

That's what scared me.  I picked up my phone and called Kenzie but she was at the library at the moment. I couldn't get her involved in this so I didn't say anything to her. 

"Hayden?"I yelled to the person outside the door. No reply. I looked through the peephole again to see Brennan with a red face. Oh no. He started banging louder. I couldn't call Kenzie for help.

So I called him. I know, I know. But what else am I supposed to do when I'm about to possibly die? I type in Hayden's number which I surprisingly still remember and click the call button. It takes 2 rings for him to pick up. 

"Annie? Annie, why are you calling? Are you okay? Do you need anything?" He sounded worried, it was kind of cute. Focus, Annie.

"Listen, Hayden, this doesn't mean I forgive you but I need you to come to our room," I say.

"Why?" He asks. 

"If I tell you can you please get here as soon as possible?"

"I'm already on my way," he says. I smile and feel much more relieved. "Ok well, you remember the dude from yesterday?"

"The dick?" He sounds tenser. 

"Yeah well, he's kinda banging on our dorm room right now." 

"What!?" he yells. "Ok, I'll be right there Annie. Be safe." He hangs up.

The banging stopped but there was a different noise. Like the clanging of metal. I looked through the peephole and he was bending down, focusing on the doorknob while he was sticking something into the keyhole.

He was going to break in. I don't know how long he was doing this for but if I don't want to die I need to hide. I crouch down and crawl under my bed. There aren't many places to hide in here.

Now I just wait for my death. I hear the door unlock and I see a pair of shoes walk in. He starts walking around the room probably looking for me. He goes into the bathroom and the closet but finds nothing. 

Then he walks up to my bed. He stays still for a couple of seconds. Then he starts crouching down. He sees me. I see him. His face is bloodshot red and he shoots me a death smile.

I would be screaming right now but I'm so scared I can't move. He opens his mouth to speak while reaching his arms out to grab me. 

"I see y-" the next thing I see is a shoe to his face. And a bunch of fists colliding with his nose. My savior grabs Brennan by the collar and throws him out the door. 

I crawl out up from under my bed and see Hayden. He came in time. Before Hayden could continue the fight in the hallway and completely murder the guy, I grab his arm.

He pulls me into a hug but I push him away. "Thank you, Hayden. But this doesn't change anything" His face falls but he nods in understanding. I grab my stuff and head to the library to complete my homework.

I sit down at a random empty table in the corner of the room. Someone sets down their bag in front of me. "Hey is this seat taken?" That voice sounds too familiar.

I look up to see Johnny Orlando.

I would say yes and welcome him to sit down but I can't after what Kenzie told me. He starts to recognize me as well. 

"Oh. Hey, Annie. Long time no see!" He says. I give him a dirty look and stood up then left the table. I walked across the library and sat down again. I plugged in my earbuds and continued with my work.

Johnny apparently followed me and sits down and gives me a piece of paper. I take out my earbuds, "What do you want John. I already know what you did, and Kenzie hates you. There's no point." I state. 

"Just please give this to her Annie. I'm sorry." He says as he stands up and leaves the table. I unfold the piece of paper.

Dear Mackenzie, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight when I did all of this. I regret pressuring you to do all of this, being jealous of Hayden, and most importantly cheating on you with Nadia. I need you Kenzie.  -Johnny 323-210-3770 ps. Please call me, I miss you.
