It was 11:40pm and no one was home and I heard a knock on my window.

Me: Jacob, what are you doing here?
Jacob: I just wanted to see if you were ok.
Me: I'm fine Jacob.

(Jacob's POV)
Me: Are you sure?
Mckinsey: Ya.

I went to hug her, but she immediately pulled away.

Me: Are you ok Mckinsey?
Mckinsey: I just want to be alone right now Jacob.
Me: Okay.

~at school the next day
I haven't talked to Mckinsey all day.
I was walking passed Mckinsey when some guys started touching and pushing on her.

Mckinsey: leave me alone.
Guy1: What are you gonna do about it, huh?
Me: Hey, back off.
Guy2: What are you going to do?
Me: Do we need to leave?

(Mckinsey's POV)
The guys started getting mad at Jacob so they loosened the grip they had on my had. I quickly slipped my hand out of his grip and ran the the girls bathroom with tears in my eyes. No one was in there and I ran into one of the stalls and slammed the door.
A couple minutes later I heard a familiar voice outside the stall door.

Josh: Mckinsey?
Me: Josh, what are you doing in the girls bathroom?
Josh: It's not like anyone's in here. And I wanted to see if you were ok.

I unlocked the stall door and walked over to the counters.

Josh: Are you ok?
Me: No Josh. I'm not okay, I've been stuck in this house and Jacob and I aren't getting along like we used to. I wish I could say I'm ok, but I'm not. And I keep trying to be okay, but nothing works.
Josh: It's okay to not be okay.
Me: I know I just, I don't know.

A tear ran down my check and Josh went to put his hand on mine, but I pulled away.
