Bullied- a Jenzie story

Mackenzie's POV (A/N OMG IT FEELS SO WEIRD AND GOOD TO WRITE AGAIN)

As I walk into school, I see so many heads turn. I hear whispers as I continue to walk through the hallways. I just stand tall and keep walking because I have John right by my side. Johnny is literally the best person ever. He makes me feel so good and I love him with my whole heart.

As I'm walking to my locker with John by my side, I see Lauren. She does a double take, probably not believing it's actually me. I give her a shy smile and wave and she shyly walks up to me and Johnny.

"Um Hi Mackenzie" Lauren speaks softly, not looking at me in my eyes.

"Hey Laur" I say, using the nickname I once gave her when we were best friends.

"I missed you so much" She almost bawls, not hesitating to hug me. I embrace her and hug her back. I missed her more than I thought. Tears brim my eyes and for the first time in awhile, the tears are happy tears.

Johnny looks at us with a smile, I know he's happy that me and his twin are getting along well. Lauren ends our hug and just smiles with red, teary eyes. "John I love you but I think me and Lauren need to talk" I speak to him, he nods in agreement, being the perfect and amazing boyfriend he is.

"Oh Kenz, I'm so sorry for always messing up and I'm just an asshole and I'm so sorry I had no idea what you were going through I hate myself I'm so sorry" She spills out. I feel so bad for her, I didn't know that me harming myself would actually cause pain to anyone other than my family and maybe Johnny.

"Lauren it's really ok, don't worry I just missed you so much." I speak truthfully. Before she can respond back, a familiar blondie comes into view.

Brynn.

Brynn was the one who found me, the one who called the police. She was the one who had to see my passed out body on the floor. My hands immediately start sweating and I wish I didn't tell John to leave. Brynn almost looks too scared to come up to me, fearing that I might hate her or something.

But Lauren calls her over and she comes walking towards us. She stops directly in front of me and just stares at her shoes, but I hug her which shocks her at first but she quickly hugs back. I hear her sobs, which makes me feel so incredibly bad.

"Oh kenz" she speaks softly "I'm so sorry" she chokes out, sobbing harder. I just nod, crying too.

"it's okay brynn" I say letting go of her. Lauren almost cries at just seeing me and brynn together.

As soon as me and brynn let go of our embrace, the bell warning you to get to class rings. "Guys let's not go to class" Lauren speaks, looking at me and Brynn. Honestly sounds nice. I would but I think the right thing to do is go to class.

"I don't know guys" I speak looking at them. "I just got here" I say which makes lauren and brynn laugh.

"Oh c'mon kenz" Lauren begs

"Alright" I say, giving in really quickly.

"I'll text the groupchat" Brynn speaks. What groupchat? What are they talking about? But before I can even ask Lauren says "We don't need to have the group come if you don't feel comfortable about it. We totally understand"

Lauren is such a sweetheart. "Um who's in the group?" I ask, I don't think I can see Nadia and Annie. Although, John did tell me that Nadia has been very nice recently and I really would want to see the Nadia I used to know. My middle school best friend.

"Well John, Nadia, Emily, us, Hayden" Brynn speaks. Before I can answer Lauren rushes with saying "I know that you might be nervous about seeing Nadia and Hayden and I totally understand that and I get if you don't want to see them we don't need to bring them. But I mean this when both of them are becoming better people and you don't need to give them a chance" I laugh at her worried state.
