grabbing his bag, hayden finally left school by 6:30. he stopped in his tracks when he saw two people yelling. a girl and a guy. "you fucking slu-"
"hey!" hayden shouted, just as the guy slapped the blonde girl. hayden punched him and saw who the girl was.
"hayden-" jayden tried to stop him from hurting the guy.
"come on jayden, let's get you home." hayden said, placing his hand on the small of her back and guiding her to his car.
she got into the passenger seat, and hayden got into the drivers seat. "um, you can drop me o-off at a-annie's." jayden told him.
"ok." hayden replied, then drove that way.
—
"omg jayden! you ok?" annie asked once she opened the door, seeing jayden and hayden. "did he do this?"
"no! of course not!" jayden exclaimed.
"wow, you really think that low of me?" hayden got offended.
"you've changed. i wouldn't-"
"annie! stop." jayden interrupted, "thanks hayden. you're still a kind friend."
hayden looked down, shaking his head, "we were never friends." hayden said, then left.
—
"where is the craziest place you've ever had sex and who was it with?" anna asked the group as they started to sit down. they were at a party hosted by carson.
"um, my uncle's garage with his friend's niece." carson answered, then took a drink of his beer.
"lake with my ex brandon." kenzie lied, making hayden and johnny give her a look, "fine. dressing room in brandy melville with-" kenzie hesitated.
"say it!" johnny laughed.
"hayden." kenzie shook her head, then high fived hayden. "not bad."
"is yours the same?" anna asked hayden.
"no," hayden said, "carnival, behind the funnel cake stand with, i think it was tati."
"mine is, at my cousin's wedding right behind the curtain-"
"that wasn't with me-" asher interrupted her.
"that was a very pink wedding." hayden laughed, then opened another beer and took a chug.
—
"geez hayden, didn't know you were such a fuck boy." anna commented as she entered the kitchen where hayden was grabbing another beer.
"i'm not. all of my life i've slept with 5 different girls. 3 whom i haven't dated." hayden said, then walked away.
"shit, we gotta go, hay." kenzie said, pulling him to her and johnny.
"why? it's only 11." carson asked, with a new bottle of beer in his hands.
"we're hard workers." kenzie said, then her and the other two left.
—
"fuck, why did we even go?" johnny asked, tired as he placed down his 287 flash cards about 52 different kinds of rulers.
"carson told me there was booze. and i only have a history exam this week." hayden said, then took a bite of his protein bar.
"do you guys ever think we work too much? i've head people say it we're, crazy." mackenzie asked.
"i think we commit. how else are we so loyal to each other? yeah we're extra but, i don't think we're crazy." johnny said, then sipped his chocolate milk. all his life, chocolate milk will always be his favorite.
hayden grabbed his flash cards from his bag. "here kenzie," hayden handed her the flash cards when the front door rang. "what the fuck?"
"it's 2 am. who the hell is at the door?" johnny questioned, then kenzie opened the door.
"what the fuck is that?!" she screamed.
"who is that?" johnny asked.
"that's jayden! jayden bartels!"
and there the three stood, seeing jayden's lifeless body on the doorstep. she wasn't dead.
—
"jayden?" kenzie said, waking her up.
"w-what? where am i?" jayden asked, looking around. her vision blurred.
"you're at my house." kenzie said. "what were you doing?"
"no! no! did you see him? i-is he here?" jayden panicked.
"who? no one is here besides hayden, johnny, and me." kenzie said.
"a-asher." jayden told her, "every night, when annie is asleep, he comes to my house and tries to force himself on me." kenzie's eyes widened. "my parents are in texas right now and i'm living with my aunt, but she works night shift at a local casino."
"jayden, oh my." kenzie gasped.
"he's been doing this for months. almost a year now, but-" jayden broke out in tears, "today he w-wasn't drunk. he was mad. see the day hayden saw me was the day i finally told him i was pregnant. that guy was his cousin. today, he and his cousin showed up and, d-did terrible things. the thing is, i passed out halfway while they were-"
"shhh," kenzie said, holding jayden close as she cried. kenzie let out tears as well.
"ok, the police are coming." hayden said as they walked back in. "everything's going to be fine." hayden told jayden.
"how did you end up here?" johnny asked.
"i don't know. i passed out. that devil took away my life! he took my virginity!" jayden cried, then kenzie held her even closer.
—
"what is going on?!" jayden's aunt asked when she showed up at the hospital.
"you must be jayden's aunt?" kenzie asked.
"yes. where is she?" she asked.
"she's inside there with one of the officers and a few doctors." hayden said.
"who are you?" her aunt asked.
"it's a long story. you can go inside and tell them your name." johnny said, then jayden's aunt nodded and walked to the rooms.
