because of you

part seven- "the party"

JOHNNYS POV

"kenzie how on earth are you not ready yet i told you 20 times that we need to leave in five minutes." i yell at kenzie while she lays on bed staring at the ceiling.

"i do not want to do." she pouts and crosses her arms

"please just go for me." i beg and she rolls her eyes "fine but you owe me." "ok ok whatever now go get ready." i laugh and she walks into her closest

"ya know" she says while digging through her clothes "i don't understand the big hype about parties, i used to go to so many at my old school and all it gave me was a splitting headache."

"oh so you would go to a bunch of party's with random people from your old school but you wouldn't go to one with me? wow i'm hurt." i joke putting my hand over my heart.

"johnny i was a really bad person then. i did really bad things. i'm trying to change." she says and my eyes soften "change for me?" i tease "well you are a major reason. but not only for you. for me. and lauren."

"ok i think i'm ready." she says and walks out of the bathroom in a tight black dress. "wow." i say taken aback by her beauty "ok let's go." i say snapping out of it and leading her down the stairs.

KENZIES POV

when we get the ashers the party is already in full swing. kids on the lawn passed out. others sucking each others faces off. red cups all over the place. typical.

johnny grabs my hand and we walk to the front of the house. it's huge just like johnnys. before we have the chance to knock a dirty haired boy opens up the door and looks at john smiling.

"what's up john." he says and slaps his hand

"and who might this be?" he says looking back at me

"this kenzie she's new and is staying with my family this year." i smile and wave at him and he returns it then looks back over at john.

"ohhh ur the infamous kenzie, so are you guys ya know." he winks pointing between john then me which gets a laugh out of me.

"absolutely not." i say and walk inside followed suit by a pouting johnny.

"what did you mean by absolutely not?" he frowns and i laugh "don't be a baby" "i'm not being a baby, i in fact am being a very not baby." he pouts and i laugh again " we just aren't dating that's all i was saying."

"but when you said "absolutely" did you mean like you would never date me." he says and i roll my eyes "i don't know john now where's the beer." i say scoping out my surroundings looking for the alcohol.

"right over there."  he points to the kitchen and i walk towards it with john.

the second i reach the beer i instantly regret it when i lock eyes with brandon. his eyes light up and i roll my in disgust.

"kenzie you came!" he says slightly tipsy "first of all don't call me that and second of all i didn't come for you i came for john." i retort and grab a cup filling it up. this remark makes brandon turn and look at john.

"why the fuck would you want to come with him?" he questions staring johnny up and down.

this remark made johnny clench his fists.

"the fuck did you just say to me rowland?" he asks in between clenched teeth "you heard me." he laughs back at johnny and i can see the anger in both of their eyes.

"john don't just stop" i say placing a hand on his arm. he un clenches his fists and turns back me softening his face but still looking at brandon from the corner of his eye.

"he's a piece of shit" he murmurs "yep don't gotta tell me twice." i laugh and johnny half laughs half rolls his eyes.

i spend the rest of the night meeting johnnys friends and hanging with brynn and maisy. i forgot how much fun party's were, even when you aren't hooking up with every boy in your sight.

i was currently taking shots with maisy and to say that i was drunk was the understatement of the century.

it felt like my 500th shot but i had lost count a very long time ago. just then i feel a pie of hands on my waist and thinking it's johnny i giggle a little.

i then turn around and come face to face with a rat. a huge fugly annoying rat named brandon.

"hey kenzzzz" he slurs and i gag at the sight of him.

"get off of me and leave me alone." i ask a try to squirm out of his grip

"come on baby we are gonna have so much fun." he whispers grabbing my wrists and yanking me inside.

"no let go of me" i plead "just let go" i say again after he doesn't listen the first time.

"no kenzie your gonna be mine tonight." "how many fucking times do i have to say get off of me and don't the fuck call me that!" i snap at him and he twists my arm.

"let go of me!" i shout loud enough for only him to hear over the loud music.

"she said let go rowland." i hear from behind us and we both turn around. my heart eases when i see johnny standing there to save me.

"oh yea? and i said no" brandon spats back

without any hesitation johnny socks him in the face and within seconds brandon is on the floor behind repeatedly punched.

people started to gather around the two boys pulling out phones and cheering.

after what felt like an eternity of johnny beating the shit out of the rat he's finally pulled off.

he looks up and fixes his hair causing people to loudly cheer and girls to giggle and wink at him.

JOHNNYS POV

i rarely get into fights. but i'd do anything for kenzie. anything.

i was prepared to kill the boy when some party poopers pulled me off and i was surrounded by girls.

the only girl i wanted to surround me though was kenzie. but she seemed to have been lost in the crowd.

i walk around the group looking for her to makes sure she's ok and apologize for even taking her to the party in the first place.

i see her with maisy and brynn and i walk up to her placing a hand in the crevice of her lower back.

her friends wink to her which causing her to giggle then they walk away and i lead kenzie to the car.

"i am so so sorry" i say and she shakes her head "for what! i'm sorry it was all my fault you got into the fight"

"kenz it's not your fault at all i want to protect you. your important to me! and if i hadn't dragged you to the party none of this would've happened." i apologize and she nods softly

"even with all the chaos i still has fun." she says and giggles.

that giggle is just. perfect.
