third person
MCKINLEY RETURNED from the coffee shop and spotted scout and blake, as promised, waiting for her. "i feel like a terrible person. i broke his heart." mckinley said, plopping down on the couch in between the two. blake wrapped his arm around kinley and scout put her hand on her leg. "kinny, honey, you need to listen to me. you are not terrible. you chose to end a relationship with someone you didn't love instead of putting them through the pain of being with someone who wasn't all in. that was good and so are you."
"she's right kin," blake said, lightly squeezing her shoulder, "you did the right the right thing." kinley sighed and leaned back on the couch. "i certainly hope you two are right because it doesn't feel like that right now." just then, a knock sounded at the door. mckinley turned and gave scout a questioning look, she shrugged, "don't ask me, i didn't invite anyone over." the girl turned her head to blake and saw that he looked just as confused. kinley groaned and stood up to go answer the door.
she peered into the peephole and saw reece and george waiting outside. "it's reece and george," the girl told blake and scout. she then crossed her arms and turned to look at blake, "how did they know to come here?" the boy laughed nervously, "that's a good question." rolling her eyes, kin opened the door, revealing the two boys. "hey guys, what are you doing here?" she asked. "what's going on?" george asked, "first blake disappears without telling us where he was going, and then you don't respond to any of our messages!"
swooping in to her rescue, scout said, "it's been a long day guys and we're all tired. we'll tell you what's going on later." finally noticing the sad, exhausted look on mckinley's face, reece immediately became concerned. he put his hands on her shoulders, "are you okay?" shrugging lightly she said, "i really don't want to talk about it reece." with a look of understanding in his eyes, reece nodded, "well, i'm still gonna give you a hug." he wrapped his arms around her, smiling weakly, mckinley returned the hug.
the group huddled together in the living room and put on a movie. to fit the mood, they chose five feet apart. they had just reached the point where stella and will were at the pool together when another knock sounded at the door. kin groaned, "who is it this time?" she whined. blake paused the movie, and scout stood up to answer it. she only opened the door a crack and she gasped when she saw who it was. "cookie? who is it?" kinley asked from the couch.
"scout, let us in. we're trying to figure out what the hell happened," someone said from the hallway. "well, i can tell you," scout protested. "we need to hear it from her, you know that," another voice said. curious, mckinley stood up and walked over to the door. "what's going on?" she asked, opening the door all way. her jaw dropped when she saw corbyn and zach standing in the hallway.
