JOHN P.O.V

What happened at the studio....

I arrived at the recording studio and parked at the empty lot and I stayed in the car for a few minutes, with thoughts of Kenzie in my head.

I hope she's okay.

I need her to be okay.

If she's not, I'll just die.

After minutes of thinking about her, I decided that my goal wasn't just gonna be successful for my family and for myself, but for Kenzie. I want her to be proud of what I accomplished. I grabbed my phone and other stuff then head inside the studio.

~~~~~~

I opened the door of the room then got a hug from Kenz and I's manager, Michael.

"Oh how it's so good to finally see you again after so many long weeks." He says, tearing up a little. Truth is, Michael was my manager when I started my career and now he's still my manager. I was eight when I started and Michael ten years older than me. So he's now 38 which is crazy. When Kenzie was 11, My parents and her parents thought it was better if we had the same manger so here we are now.

"How's Mackenzie?" Michael asks, letting go of the hug, wiping his tears.

"She's okay Michael. She's having her rest." I answer, almost crying that I was lying to him. She wasn't okay.

"At least it's good to hear that one of my clients are okay. Here." He says, giving me a paper bag with two gift wrapped presents for Kenzie and I each. And there was some kind of USB in it as well.

"Open the gifts and watch the video on the USB together. Don't let her watch it alone nor you." He says seriously and I nod.

"Now lets get to the song shall we?" He asks and I nod.

~~~~~~~~~

We say bye to each other then I head to the car. I saw the paper bag on the passenger seat. Although I really wanted to open the present, I couldn't. I didn't want to disobey Michael, who's known me for more than a decade already. I change the mode to drive then step on the drive pedal.

~~~~~

I arrive home then check the time. 5:00PM. I sigh then grabbed my stuff head out of the car.

I open the front door then see Lauren there on the couch. She hugs me tightly.

"What's this for? You never hug me often you know." I say, chuckling and hugging her back.

"I saw your letter. How're you feeling?" She asks me then I pause. She holds my hand but we still hug.

"Oh, Lauren...." I start, already tearing up. We sat on the couch then I told her what happened.

~~~~

It's been a few hours since I told Lauren what happened. I checked the time and it said 10:00PM. I wanted to check on Kenzie but Lauren told me to let her rest. I obeyed her orders then stayed down here, with Lauren. She decided that she would go to the baby room to check on Xaria and Isaak. Although my son has a name with the same guy who hurt Kenzie, I decided that I won't be angry at him. He only did it because he was jealous and that made me mad that he hurt someone I loved. But I'm glad that he brought the love of my life back. But I wouldn't and I say wouldn't forgive Hayden fucking-

My thoughts were disturbed by crying and murmurs upstairs. I decided to check it put then see Lauren crying for some reason. I asked what was happening then I froze.

I saw the love of my life. Kenzie. She sees me then immediately runs to me then hugs me. Lauren leaves to check on Xaria and Isaak then Kenzie says something.

"I'm sorry for everything John.... It's all my fault." She whispers her warm breath into my chest then soaks my hoodie with tears. I rub her back to comfort her.

"Don't say that... It wasn't anyone's fault." I answer her, whispering into her hair.

"Look Kenzie..... I know we're on a break but-" I start, but my sentence was cut short by Kenzie kissing me on my cheek. God, she's so cute I'm actually jealous that I'm not a girl.

"Let's stop this little break. I can't take it anymore." She says, smiling. Jesus christ, her precious fucking smile. I smile back.

"There's that cute smile of yours." I say, sheepishly smiling then I hugged her. I couldn't help it but kiss her. She kisses back then after a matter of minutes, I carried her in a bridal style way, not breaking our kiss, through our bedroom door. I lock the door then drop her on the bed.

Then I had the best night of my entire fucking life.
