(y/n)'s POV

There was a long silence on my way to meet Kenzie for lunch. She had offered to take me out while James was teaching. It felt good to get away from James for a bit considering I'm spending every waking moment with him for translation. Not that I didn't like him or anything, it's just nice to talk to multiple different people. I walked in the sandwich shop, the smell of fresh French bread filling my nose. I spotted Kenzie who was waving me over and I took a seat across from her.

"Hi, sorry I'm a little late." I said.

"No prob." she replied, gesturing to the food in front of me.

"You didn't have to pay." I said, pulling up my purse to reimburse her.

"Nah, it's fine." she said, holding up a hand to stop me. "So what have you and James been up to?" she questioned, wriggling her eyebrows. I chuckled and shut my purse, draping it back on the chair.

"Nothing." I said, smirking.

"Yeah right. Tell me." she urged, biting into her sandwich.

"Okay, uh, can you tell me if this is like a French thing?" I asked and she nodded, gesturing for me to continue. "A while ago, he kissed me on the cheek, goodnight. I mean we've know each other for a span of about...2 weeks." I said. James hadn't done anything in that time.

"God, he's smitten by the beautiful American girl." she said, giggling.

"Oh come on no." I said. shaking my head, but that didn't stop a blushed to creep on my cheeks and ears.

"Oh my God you are too!" she said. I shook my head again. "Look I admit the French can do the kiss cheek thing, like tons of cultures do that, but he knows you're not accustomed to that. He wouldn't do it without a purpose." She said, taking a sip of her drink. I groaned and shoved a chip in my mouth. "What? What's so wrong about him liking you?" she asked.

"Because I'm a rather...complicated girl." I said.

"Spill." she asked. I let out a sigh.

"So there's this boy back home. We dated for a while and I love him a lot, but towards the end of our relationship we were fighting a lot about really stupid stuff and he was insanely jealous and one night I just stormed out." I said. "And then I got hit by a car." her eyes widened and she seemed rather invested in my story. "So I ended up in a coma for 2 months and when I came to I was so determined to see Dan and make up from all the fighting that I left after 1 day of recovery. So I went to surprise him only to find that he had been sleeping with my nurse for the 2nd month of my coma." I explained.

" Oh my."

"And so I was freaked out and we were just friends for a while, or rather I was pretending for his best friend's sake, who's a good friend of mine. So they went away on tour for their YouTube channels and when they came back I just couldn't handle it and I was going to...end my life." I cringed, nervous to be telling her this. I weirdly trusted this girl though. "Dan stopped me and we decided we'd be normal. I gave up on the relationship even though I do love him. It's just hard." 

"Seriously?" Kenzie asked. I looked up at her, her face full of shock.

"Yeah?" I said.

"You are the strongest person I think I've ever met." she said. I felt my face heat up at the compliment.
