How does it feel to know that I don't care at all?

Your words don't mean a thing at all

I choose to rise, you choose to fall (ahh)

How does it feel to know that I am capable?

Of more than you will ever know (ahh) 

        The five arrived at the house in around 30 minutes. Nicholas was first to enter since he does have the keys and Ashley forgot her pair at home. Nicholas looked around.

        "Justin! Jesse! Brandon! We are home!"

        Justin came out and was immediately confused as to why Jake, Ashley, AND a blonde that might be the Bryce person from the game they played a bit ago.

        "Brandy and Jesse are sleeping, why is everyone here?"

        Bryce rolled his eyes.

        "Where is Kenzee?"

        Now both Nicholas and Justin were confused. Justin looked at him.

        "How do you know Kenzee's name?"

        Bryce rolled his eyes at the oblivious teenager. Michela facepalmed because now she knows it's about to go down. Jake stared at Justin.

        "Just answer the question man,"

        Justin narrowed his eyes at Jake.

        "Hey now, Kenzee and I are dating, so it is my business why he wants to know where she is."

        Jake and Bryce roll their eyes. Ashley slapped both of their arms.

        "Play nice boys. Justin, we just really want to talk to her."

        Michela almost scoffed out loud when she heard her best friend say that. Justin nodded slowly.

        "She should be coming down now,"

        Speak of the devil, and she shall appear. Kenzee walked down the stairs and stood in pure shock when she saw Michela.

        "Oh hey, Michela! I hope you are doing much better,"

        Jake walked right up to her and punched her right in the face. Everyone was shocked. Justin was now pissed.

        "What the hell man?! How dare you punch her! You don't punch a girl,"

        Justin was about to fight him but was held back by Nicholas, not wanting his little brother to get into something big. Kenzee glared at Jake.

        "How could you punch me?!"

        Jake glared at her coldly.

        "That is for my best friend Bitch!"

        Kenzee wound out her hand as if to punch him...but right as she was about to punch Jake, Michela got in the way. Everyone watched as if in slow motion as Kenzee's fist connected to Michela's cheek. Due to Michela already being weak from the blood loss, she was knocked down onto the ground. Kenzee almost smiled but she knew where she was and pretended to look shocked. Jake immediately knelt down next to Michela.

        "You complete Idiot! Why would you do that? You already lost too much blood from the stab wound."

        Now was Ashley's turn to go full beast.

        "You complete ASSHOLE!!! How DARE you hurt my BEST FRIEND IN FRONT OF ME?!"

        Now was Bryce's turn to contain Ashley's huge burst of rage. But that didn't keep her mouth shut.

        "You ungrateful daughter of a Bitch! Justin never deserved someone like you! The only REASON we didn't go all samurai on you is because of Mickey! AND WHAT DO YOU DO?! YOU STAB HER! YOU THINK YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET AWAY WITH THAT?! OH HELL NO! BRYCE LET ME AT HER! LET ME GO! SHE ALMOST PUNCHED JAKE WHERE IS THAT STUPID OVERPROTECTIVE BOYFRIEND GENE?! LET ME THE FUCK AT HER!!!"

        Nicholas and Justin were in pure shock. That was when it fully clicked. All of this was Kenzee's fault. Nicholas felt pure rage as he looked at Kenzee, Justin did too. Nicholas walked right up to Kenzee.

        "How dare you come into my home and threaten my best friend."

        His voice was ice cold and Kenzee now is afraid, she never knew that Nicholas could be this cold. She broke eye contact and looked down. Nicholas glared even more.

        "Get the hell out of here. Don't even THINK about coming near my friends, family, or girlfriend ever again. Got it?'"

        Kenzee quickly nodded. She turned to Justin.

        "Justin I-"

        Justin shook his head.

        "Don't."

        Kenzee nodded and started to leave. That is when Bryce walked up to her. He looked at her calmly in the eye and punched her right in the face. She screamed out in pain and clutched her nose. Bryce glared at her even more.

        "That is for threatening my best friend, punching her, stabbing her, and threatening my boyfriend."

        Kenzee ran out. Michela looked down, not wanting to look at her best friend. Nicholas frowned and lifted her chin up so they were making direct eye contact.

        "If you ever are threatened by someone else, no matter who it is, you can ALWAYS tell me,"

        Michela nodded. Nicholas' eyes softened and he pulled his best friend into a tight hug. Everyone smiled at the two. Ashley smirked.

        "I am not letting my boyfriend hug my bae by himself. Let me in!"

        Ashley hugged the two after Nicholas chuckled. Jake smiled.

        "Seeing as Ella is my best friend toooo,"

        Jake joined the now forming group hug. Bryce was next to join. Finally, Justin joined after Nicholas told him to come to join. Michela was right in the middle of them, but she didn't care. She loves her best friends and this hug made her feel so much better. That was when Bryce remembered that she was, in fact, injured.

        "Wait! You are still injured!"

        Everyone immediately got out of the hug. Michela rolled her eyes.

        "You just now remembered?"

        Bryce shrugged.

        "Better late than never!"

        Michela chuckled. Justin examined her and noticed that she stood straight, she usually slouches just a smidge, and how her right cheek was a little red from Kenzee punching her. Justin felt horrible for what happened to her. It felt like he was in actual pain in his chest. Nicholas looked at her.

        "You should probably get some rest...when are your parents and Mass supposed to get back?"

        Michela thought for a second.

        "Umm...I think like tomorrow night,"

        Ashley frowned.

        "You are NOT staying by yourself, especially since you are injured."

        Michela rolled her eyes.

        "I am almost an adult, I am perfectly able to fend for myself,"

        Nicholas smirked.

        "As much as I know that, I want you to either stay with me, Ashley, or Jake and Bryce."

        Michela's eyes widened.

        "You are making me choose?! Oh, the traitor you are."

        Everyone laughed. Nicholas smiled.

        "Just sleepover here, I don't think you should take a shower so just find some clothes to change into,"

        Michela rolled her eyes.

        "Sir yes sir!"

        She saluted and was off. Nicholas shook his head in amusement.
