Mackenzie

I was walking to lunch when I got a text from a blocked number.

Unknown; turn around princess.

I slowly turned around to see standing there was mark. I can see behind him, Johnny leaning against the lockers and Hayden and Carson holding Annie and Lauren and Brynn back. My eyes find mark again and I look into his eyes. Two girls appear next to him, Nadia turner and Sofia rose. I sigh knowing I can't get out of it.

"Just do it." I say closing my eyes and looking down.

They kick and punch me over and over again. By the end I have bruises all over my body. They laugh and walk into the cafeteria. I sit up and lean against the lockers. I search my backpack and look for my concealer. When I find it it's almost empty. I get up quick which hurt. I run to my locker and search for my concealer, I found another half full bottle. I run to the bathroom and apply the concealer to the visible bruises.

Tears stinging my eyes I walk into the cafeteria and sit down at my usual table by the door.
I hear people yelling and turn and see all the girl and guys fighting at the gangs table. Johnny just sitting on the side watching. I don't know why I like him so much... I mean he's never done anything bad to me.. but he's also never done anything good to me either.., I see Annie Brynn and Lauren coming over to me. I get scared so I jump up and ran to the bathroom. They followed me.

"No please don't hurt me!" I beg as I cover my face with my arms and crouch on the floor.

I shut my eyes and What they did next surprised me. They crouched on the floor next to me and hugged me. I exhaled the breath I didn't know I was holding.

"W-what are y-you doing?" I ask standing up. "Is this a trick? A test? A prank?"

"Oh Kenzie.. thy hurt you bad didn't they." Annie said sadly.

"You shouldn't be here. They'll start to hurt you too.. or I'll get hurt more. Are they coming? You shouldn't be here. I should go." I babble.

I ran into the hall way to be greeted by mark.

"Hey baby." He smirked.

He stepped closer to me and the girls came running out of the bathroom.

"Leave her alone mark!" Lauren yelled.

"What I can't give my own girlfriend a kiss?" He questioned while lifting my chin to kiss me.

He placed his lips on mine and pulled away smirking at the girls. They all looked shocked. He slid his arm around me and we walked away from the bathrooms. He walked away from me when the bell rang and I walked to my next class.

~~~

"You want to go back to your place?" Mark asked.

"I-I have work tonight." I said scared of his response.

"Then me and the gang will be there." He said as the bus pulled up.

I nod and get on the bus.

~~~

I get off the bus in front of the diner and walk inside to see Stanley and one of the night waiters making out.

"I'm sorry am I interrupting something?" I ask while they pull away and look at me.

I laugh.

"I have to go to the bathroom..." the waiter, Brandon, said.

"I'll join you." Stanley said.

They run to the bathroom giggling. Suddenly I was pulled into a booth and someone smashed his lips on mine. It took me a second to realize that it was mark and if I didn't kiss back he would beat me later. He pushed me against the wall and pulled my hips closer to him. I wrapped my hands around his neck and he kissed down to my collarbone. He finally pulled away when Stanley and Brandon came out of the bathroom. It was only then when I realized that the guys were sitting across from us watching. Mark let's me out of the booth and I walk to behind the counter where Brandon and Stanley came up to me.

"Are you ok?"

"Did he hurt you?"

"Do you need me to throw them out?"

"N-no I'm fine. You'll make it worse." I said in a whisper.

"Waitress!" Someone yelled.

"That's me. I'll be fine, ok?" I scowl.

They nod and I walk over to the table.

"What can I get you?" I ask politely.

"I'll have whatever you just gave mark." Carson said.

They all laugh and I nervously laugh.

"What?" I ask nervously.

"I'm kidding." He said.

I sigh in relief.

"Is that all?" I ask.

"We'll have four milkshakes, 2 strawberry 1 chocolate and 1 vanilla." Johnny said.

I nod and walk behind the counter. I made Brandon make the milkshakes and I sat on the floor. The bell in the door rang and I prayed that they had left. I stand up and see that the girls had walked in.

"Kenzie!" They all screamed. I was surprised at their excitement to see me.

"Hi... umm the guys are over there." I said pointing to there table.

"It's ok we'll sit at the counter." Brynn said.

I give a warm smile and nodded as they sit at the counter.

"Here are the milkshakes Kenz." Brandon said handing me the tray.

I walk over to the table and give them their milkshakes.

Mark pulled me into the booth to make out with me again.. when he let me go and I walked back over to the girls they looked at me with concern looks.

"Why are you dating him?" Annie asked.

"I have to." I replied sadly.

"Why?" Brynn asked.

"I'm not allowed to break up with him. He has to break up with me." I said with a sigh.

"I'm on it." Lauren said.

Before I could stop here she walked over to the booth. When she came back mark called me over.

"Yeah?"

"We're done."

"Really?" I said surprised.

"Yes and I won't bother you anymore. We won't even talk." He glared at me and I realized I was supposed to act sad.

I act sad and ran to the bathroom. I ran in and started celebrating. I came out and walked over to the girls.

"Thank you so much." I whispered to Lauren.

She smiled and nodded.

"I really hope we can be friends Kenzie." Annie said.

"Same." Brynn and Lauren said.

"I'd like that." I said smiling.

It was my first real smile in months.
