~Annie's POV👼🏼~
It was now Tuesday, and Friday was the dance. I was so excited to go with Hayden. Maybe he actually does like me...and I really like him.
That bouquet of roses wasn't from Asher, they were one of the bouquets Hayden gave me and I feel terrible for lying to Kenzie. But I'm glad she made me realize that Asher can't be the one for me. She told me that I can't marry him if I don't love him. Which I don't.
She just can't know that I'm going to the dance with Hayden. She would hate it.

I was waiting at my locker for Kenz to come out of her final class of the day so we could walk to the Orlando's together. I then felt somebody twist my arm and shove me to the ground
Annie:Ow! What the-
I look up to see Bella
Annie:Bella, what are you doing?
Bella:Making sure you understand that you can't see Hayden ever again
Annie:But I'm not dating him
Bella:Yes you are
Annie:What would make you think that?
Bella:Oh I don't know...maybe because Hayden dumped me last night
I stand up
Annie:Oh my gosh! Bella, I'm so sorry
Bella:Don't try to feel bad for me
She shoved me into the lockers then grabbed my shoulders
Bella:Stay away from Hayden. Got it?
I nod slowly
She lets me go and walks back to her friend group. I rushed to the bathroom to check if Bella did anything. And I saw a couple of bruises on my shoulders. I also had a massive headache.
My phone vibrated in my back pocket. I grabbed my phone and read the message
Kenz🌹:I can't walk with you. I'm hanging out with John
Anns👼🏼:Ok
I looked at myself in the mirror. What have I done to help Kenz? Did I really do anything for her? It just seems like she has everything figured out right now. It's like she doesn't need me. I could feel a couple of tears run down my cheeks. Why I am doubting myself? Oh right, because I am a terrible angel. Do I continue to help Kenzie?
I put my phone in my back pocket, grabbed my backpack, quickly wiped the tears away and rushed out of the bathroom.

As I was starting to walk to the Orlando's, I could hear Hayden calling me. I just kept walking. Not wanting to stop and talk. He then caught up to me and grabbed my arm
Hayden:Hey? Are you okay?
I turn to him
Annie:I'm fine
He scans my face and looks at me concerned
Hayden:What happened?
Annie:Nothing happened
Hayden:You sure?
I looked around to see if Bella was watching us and then looked back at Hayden
Annie:I can't tell you
Hayden:Why not? You can trust me you know that...right?
He grabs my hand
Annie:No, seriously I can't
I shake my hand away from his
Annie:I'm so sorry...I have to go
I start to walk away. But he follows me
Hayden:Annie, please tell me
I start to feel tears coming down my face. So I stop and turn around to face him. He walks over
Hayden:Hey, it's okay. What's wrong?
He grabs onto one of my shoulders and I flinch, he moves his hand
Annie:It's...Bella
Hayden:Bella? What did she do to you?
I move down one of my sleeves to reveal one of the bruises. He gently touches my shoulder
Annie:She hurt me
The tears kept coming and he brought me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around him and continued to cry. Not just because of what Bella did to me. But because I'm continuing to let people down. I can feel that I haven't done anything for Kenzie and I won't be a better angel. He slowly lets go of me
Hayden:Is it because I broke up with her?
Annie:She thinks I'm replacing her. And that I should stay away from you
Hayden:She's wrong. Because I was never dating her and I just "broke up" with her just to make it official
Annie:Why though?
Hayden:She's not good for me. She was just using me
Annie:Is it because of me? Because I can totally apologize to Bella
Hayden:No, I don't think you should be around Bella anymore
Annie:I agree
Hayden:So, what are you gonna tell Kenzie?
Annie:You can't tell her
Hayden:Why not? Isn't she your best friend?
Annie:Hayden, I can't tell her because it's not her concern. She is too busy right now and I don't need to drag in another problem for her
Hayden:You sure?
Annie:Yes...I can handle this myself

It was now Thursday, and we had no school tomorrow because of the dance. Bella was still bullying me for the past couple of days now. I try to tell her to stop, but she doesn't care. So I just let her do what she wants and continue with my day. I know it's the right thing.
