(Kenzie POV.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I didn't move. I didn't kiss back. I just stood there in complete shock. "Hay–" I tried to pull away, but before I could even say anything I heard a loud gasp from behind me. Our heads turned around immediately to see our bestfriend Annie.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I felt a huge pang of guilt in my chest. "Annie I–" I couldn't even finish my sentence because my throat was so tight it was  hard to talk. Her brown eyes soon became drenched in tears. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Ho-w, could you?!" She yelled in pain. Even through the darkness we were in I could still see how red her eyes were. "Ann–" Hayden tried to say, but she interrupted him. "No! You I understand." She said turning her face towards him. "But you?! I thought you were my bestfriend?!" Annie continued to yell towards me.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Before I could even explain myself, she ran off into the dark forest.
I didn't even think twice to look at Hayden. I quickly took all the energy I possibly had started running after her. "Annie!" I yelled in guilt as I started running towards the dark trees. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I saw a glimpse of her bright blue shirt in front of me, but the color faded away after she crossed a huge tree. "ANNIE, PLEASE WAIT!" I yelled again. Damn that girl was fast. I felt the side of my hip start to crawl up with pain. My breathing was unsteady and throat felt so dried with all the air running through my mouth.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Annie I know you're here! Just please listen to me!" I yelled again. I ran past every tree she came across. Each scene went by a flash through my dried eyes. My feet felt soar, and heavy with each step I took. I couldn't run anymore. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I stopped in the middle of the woods and brought my arms to my knees and bent my back. I coughed out all the cold air coming from my mouth, and felt a swarm of guilt crawl up my mind. I was such a horrible friend. How could I have done this. Just because Johnny never wanted me, doesn't mean I had to go after my bestfriend's crush. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I looked up at a pile of darkness. All I could see was the bright moon shining in the dark sky. I could only hear the sound of crickets chirping on the wet grass. Then suddenly I heard a loud moan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀My ears followed me towards a huge tree. My eyes were taken by shock, when I saw what was tied around the tree. It was Johnny wincing in pain for help.
