"Do you not know? I have everything,y/n. EVERYTHING that you don't. I'm not invisible,unlike you. Shouldn't I be happy then? It's all enough,isn't it? And yet,it isn't. I hate you,y/n. I hate you so much,I hate that you had to be the one to take the one thing that I couldn't have,in just the spur of a moment.",she seethed.

"W-what?",I stuttered.

"OPEN YOUR GOD DAMN EYES. Don't you see!? There was just one guy,one person that I ever really wanted to be with. He was also the only thing that I couldn't have. But you? Despite having nothing,you have everything that i could give it all up for."

"What are you talking about?",I cried.

She put her hands on her head before screaming,"JOHNNY!" I stood still,not moving a muscle.

"He can have any girl he wants,literally anyone. But it's so ironic and senseless that out of us all,he chose you.",she hissed. For the second time in the day,I had my breath knocked out of me,my gut twisted at her words.

No,she's lying. This can't be the truth,he---he said he didn't. . .it's just a lie. If it was the truth,he would not have said that three months ago.

"You're lying,",I shook my head,"Y-you're just trying to get inside my head. If it was the truth,he wouldn't have. . .when I told him he---"

"OF COURSE he'd turn you down. After everything that Lucas and I told him,after feeding him all the lies,all the bullshit,I thought he'd see a better person in me,and forget about you. Just like the whole school did. When he said no to you,I was so glad that you were finally out of the way. But we don't always get what we want. He chose not to speak to any other girl,not to look at anyone else in the way he looked at me,the way I wanted to be looked at by him. I wanted to be with him,but despite everything that the school knew about you,he still chose you---in a way that no one else could see.",she angered out.

My head was spinning as my mind tried to process each word she said,trying to find her hidden malice in each syllable.

But her tear stained face said otherwise.

"I love him.",she lowered her voice,then
raising it,"But he loves YOU."

My knees buckled,landing on the grass bathed ground as another fresh set of tears began forming in my eyes.

She turned around,ready to leave before glancing at me over her shoulder,"I'll never understand what he sees in you." And with that,she was off. Leaving me all alone to deal with my scattered emotions.

I tugged at my hair rather roughly,letting out a scream as my tears crashed on the ground.

"Y/N?",I heard a distant voice. I sniffed,wiping my eyes with my sleeved palm as I tried to make out the figure standing at a distance through my hazy vision. On seeing me struggle to gasp for some air,the voice got closer as panic struck the person's calls,"Y/n!"

Two hands removed my own palms from where they were tangled in my hair,holding on to them.

Once my hands were free,I felt the same pair of palms cup my cheeks,caressing them softly,"Breathe,deep breaths,alright?" Once I'd calmed down,I opened my eyes to find myself looking into a pair of worry stricken green orbs.

Kneeling down just inches away from me was the person I thought wanted nothing to do with me.

Johnny.

"W-what are y-you d-doing here?",I said through hiccups. "What happened,what the hell happened?",he asked,ignoring my question by asking me one. His fingers moved to under my left eye,running over the scratch I'd gotten from when the piece of glass scraped my skin when the bottle was thrown at me,luckily missing. His hand then moved down to the corner of my busted lips,grazing his finger over the dried blood.

"The hand print---",he choked out,"she did this?"

I shook my head after gulping,"Not all of it." He studied me,staring at me for so long that I felt like scurrying away to a different country,cowering away from his gaze and touch.

"When I saw her leave school with a red,ballistic face,I just knew something was about to go down.",he said through gritted teeth. "She. . .slapped you?" I nodded slowly,moving my eyes from his,moving away from him,making his hands fall down on his lap.

"What else did she do?",he asked in a low voice. I shook my head,rubbing my left eye,"Nothing that she did hurt. . .it's--- what she said that did."

He bit his lip,furrowing his brows,"What did she say?"

I dared to look at him,"She---nevermind. It's pointless." I stood up on wobbly feet,dusting my clothes as I took a step forward,wanting to get away from this place.

Johnny stood up as well,grabbing my wrist gently as he stopped me. Walking over to stand in front of me,he gazed down at me. "Tell me,please?",he spoke in a soft voice. I sighed,looking down at my shoes.

"She s-said that y-you---",I paused,not knowing how to say it. "Why did do that?" He looked at me with his brows drawn together in confusion. "Three months ago,why did you say that?" His face relaxed,a small frown playing on his lips. He sighed as well,looking up at the sky.

"When Michelle told me about---the thing with Lucas,and you---i didn't know what to do. I felt sad,a little triggered as to why you would do that. Michelle made it all sound so convincing,the manipulative words that she used,I-I just. . .I believed her.",he explained in a small voice,still looking up at the sky. I asked him,"And you still do?"

He glanced at me,his gaze lingering on me.

"No."

"No?",I asked in a small voice. "Today,after you left,I went up to Michelle and Lucas. I knew I couldn't get her to talk,so I asked Lucas. I was polite at first,but then when the words you whispered replayed in my head,I couldn't help but punch him. I was so angry,so furious at him. My friends pulled me off of him,asking him to tell everyone the truth. Scared of not having anyone to take his side,with a bloodied nose he confessed that Michelle had convinced him to make up all the lies,just to do that to you.",he said.

I waited for him to continue. So he did,"I was just so angry,that i couldn't help myself but yell at Michelle for doing that to you,to a girl. And that's when she left,burning with fury. And that's when I knew that she was going to follow you,to say or do something. So I followed her,to get to you."

I gnawed on my lip,choking on a sob.

"Did she tell you soemthing else?",he asked. I nodded hesitantly.

"T-that you. . .feel the same w-way about---me.",I stuttered in a small voice. I regretted it instantly,not wanting to make a fool out of myself for the second time.

Three fingers slipped under my chin,lifting my head up. I stared into my favourite pair of green eyes that looked down at me with so much concern,so many emotions flowing through the drowning colours of his eyes.

"I do."

I looked at him with wide eyes,"y-you. . .you do?" He nodded,slipping his arms behind my back and wrapping them around my waist. My face rested on his shoulder,my breath hitting the crook of his neck as he breathed into my hair. When his grip tightened,I lifted my own arms and wrapped them around his neck.

"I'm so sorry for everything that i said,for believing all the lies,for letting everyone treat you that way.",he croaked.

With a small smile,I ran my fingers through his dirty blonde locks,"It's alright,you didn't know. And I'm way past that." He pulled away slightly,pushing a strand of my hair behind my ear as he brought his forehead down to touch mine.

"I'm never leaving you,I promise."

And with that,his lips captured mine.

With a smile,I realised that this is all i needed. Snaked in his warm embrace,his forehead rested against mine,toothy smiles on both of our lips,our hands laced together,I couldn't help but feel at home.
