"My inspiration was her."
Mackenzie couldn't help but get angry at the thought of spending the summer with her famous brother and away from her home team.
She was 23 for God's sake.
But with her encounter with her brother's bandmate and best frien...
"They don't want to see a kid who suffers from depression and anxiety as if itwas unoriginal because 'every other public figure has it too'. They don't want tosee a once suicidal kid who is scared of relapsing and suffers from chronic pain so bad that it drives him nearly crazy." Adrian muttered, lifting my chinup.
"So when I tell you I'm fucked up, know that I am. Don't stay here with me, l know that I'll only hurt you in the end and so does your brother."
I bit my lip harder, my selfish tendencies not wanting to listen to his orders.
"He only wants to protect you, I can't blame him for wanting you to stay away from this fucked up mess he calls his best friend."
"I can't." I replied honestly, my tears slowly falling.
"But you need to. I don't want to be the reason behind your tears. I don't wantto be a charity case as the kid who doesn't go back home during holidaysbecause he's in his room letting his thoughts eat him away." He gritted out, placing a soft kiss on my forehead.
"Please. Kenzie. For me if not for you."
"But I can't. I don't know what I'll do or how I'll cope but I want to do it with you Adrian. I don't want to leave you alone." I cried out, pulling him closer, staining his shirt with tears.
"I want you to forget me, you don't need a sob story following you around." Hereplied, hugging me back as well, "You need to forget and I need to relax, so that's why I'm doing all this. Medical marijuana. It helps ease it."
It was then that I realized that Adrian wasn't like any of the other guys I dated or anyone I had ever met.
He was broken beyond repair yet a part of me wanted to fix him.
"I really can't Adrian." I told him, guilt hitting me.
"Do it. We haven't known each other for long, you can even call it a serious fling." He tries to reassure me, stepping back to take another hit.
"Was that all I was to you? A fling?" I muttered, scared of loosing him but hurt at the same time.
"No—yes. This isn't how I wanted this to turn out." Adrian lowers his gaze, turning away again.
"Adrian. I want to be here for you, not as someone who pities you the whole god damn time—but as a girlfriend who cares, who wants to help and share your problems as much as I can." I tell him, pulling him back to look at me dead in the eye.
He smells of whatever he was smoking but his eyes stayed glossed over, looking at me as if he was trying to figure it out whether to go with his heart or his mind.
"I know I shouldn't have thought I was ready for a relationship but I can't help but need you Mackenzie."
"Adrian–"
"Mackenzie, I'm so sorry for loving you."
