Bullied- a Jenzie story

Safe and Sound- 47

Mackenzies POV

I hear a knock at my door, it must be Ashton! I almost run down my stairs, I'm dressed not super nicely but I wanted to look presentable, and I'm not really sure why.

I open the front door and I'm greeted by Ashton.

"Kenz!" He rushes in my house with excitement. I giggle at how he just walked right in. He greets me with a hug. This feels... nice.

"I missed you" he speaks, hugging me tighter

"You just saw me yesterday, Silly" I remind him

"I know but I missed your pretty face"  (a/n ew tf bitch) my cheeks immediately heat up.

"I missed you too" I admit. This isn't flirting right? He's just my friend. Nothing more.. I think.

"So where are we going?" I question him, Wanting to know what the fuck is going on.

"We're going to a party" his voice sounds excited and thrilled. But I feel the opposite. I hate parties, especially with what has happened in the past.

"Uh" I stutter "you know Ashton, I don't really like parties." I tell him. I've told him before, maybe he forgot..? Or maybe he's trying to force me into something I don't wanna do.

"Cuz you need to chill more" he says, a bit rudely "Johnny has kind of turned you into no fun... I think more people would like you if you relaxed more" he chuckled as he scanned my body up and down. I can't help but get offended. And why is he blaming it on Johnny... I mean, is it really johnnys fault?

"woah woah, this isn't Johnny's fault." I tell him. "This is only mine."

"KZ, its not your fault, can't you just see how Johnny always acts like he owns you? Don't you get annoyed by that?"

"I love Johnny, Ashton. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me." I'm starting to feel more confident. "a-and if you can't see how he truly makes me feel so incredibly happy, then you aren't a true friend." I don't know what has gotten into my head. 10 seconds ago, I was questioning if I even like Johnny. I mean, I still kind of am. But I'm not going to let Ashton tell me how I'm supposed to feel about Johnny.

"Okay Damn, i'm sorry." he speaks, I don't know if he's being real with me. "but let's just go to the party and have fun, okay?" He asks, putting his thumb on my chin so I can look up at him. I smile and nod.

"That's what I thought, pretty girl" He smiles back at me (a/n ew) I get on my shoes and coat and follow him to the car. 

~~~~~~~~~~

we pull up to the house. I honestly don't know whos party this is. I didn't ask and even if I would've, he definitely wouldn't of told me. I wonder if anyone I know will be there. I haven't even been to school so why am I going to a party. WTF AM I THINKING.

"c'mon Mackenzie, let's go," He says excitedly

"Ashton, I really don't think this is a good idea." I confess. "I just uh, don't think I can do it."

"Kenz, you're fine" he says to me.

"Ashton, you don't understan-" he cuts me off by talking again. 

"Listen Kenz, you always say how you just wanna have fun" He says as I nod along. "And I can tell..." I can tell that he's debating if he should say what he does next "That Johnny isn't giving you the fun that I can give you" he smiles at me. Maybe he's right...

"Okay, I'll go in" I agree and his smile grows lArGe.

We get out of the car and I immediately freeze. I almost run up to the door and Ashton laughs and follows me.
