Of Course Not

Instantly, Anna felt Kenny's hands firmly take hold of her shoulders and gently push her away from me, "Anna, what the fuck was that? What are you doing?" Kenny asked with a shocked expression,

"It doesn't matter!" Anna snapped back, "Just kiss me back; it doesn't matter, Kenny!" Anna screamed as she tried to push forward again, though Kenny immediately pulled his head away, "Stop! K-Kiss me! Kiss me back! K-Kiss me back Kenny...K-Kenny p-please..." Anna screamed out, her voice growing shallow and weak until it had turned into a mere whimper and her grief took over her anger once more,

"Anna, no, this isn't like you. What's going on?" Kenny whispered out as he helped the girl towards the couch,

"They...I..." Anna tried to reply only to break down into tears,

"Anna, hey, hey...it's okay," Kenny whispered out as he gingerly put an arm around the blonde girl, "Look at me for a second," Anna let out small gasping breaths and kept her head down, "Hey, come on, just look at me," She took in a few sharp breaths and swallowed hard, her wet eyes finally rising and looking at Kenny, "Just take a second to breathe, and tell me what's happening. Who are they?"

"E-Eric a-and N-Nic-cole," Anna stammered back through her tears and broken breaths,

"What did they do?" Kenny asked, his brow starting to narrow and his lips falling into a frown,

"They-they...they..." Anna tried to reply but couldn't seem to push the words out of her mouth,

"Nicole had sex with Eric..." Kenny said for her causing Anna to let out a wailing crying and fall forward, pressing her face into Kenny's shoulder, "Oh fuck...Anna, I'm so sorry...god, this is my fault," Kenny whispered out as he wrapped his arms around the girl, his right hand cupping her head and stroking her long golden locks with his thumb. "I set Nicole off...I'm sorry,"

"I-It's not...not your f-fault," Anna whimpered back, "It's not your fault...H-How could they d-do that to m-me?!' Anna cried out once more, taking comfort in Kenny's hold, "Kenny! Kenny help me! Please!"

"It's okay, it's okay," Kenny soothingly replied as he pushed Anna's head forward, letting her cry into his shoulder, "I don't know why or how they could do that to you, Anna, I just don't know. But it's going to be alright, I promise,"

Anna slowly began to push on Kenny's body, urging him to fall back onto the couch, which he reluctantly did after a moment. With the teen now laid down, Anna's body curled up on his chest, her wet eyes still pressing into his chest while her hands gripped to bundles of his shirt. Kenny easily shifted around, giving the girl enough room while wrapping an arm around her waist so she would fall. Then he softly hushed her, his other hand petting her head while Anna continued to cry her heart out.

Minutes passed by as Kenny was **** to listen to the heartbreaking sound of Anna sobs, unable to understand exactly what it felt like to see his best friend and lover together. He couldn't fathom the amount of betrayal and hurt that must have been coursing through the poor girls head. He had known Anna for years now, and during that time he learned how much trust mattered to her, and for the trust in her best friend and boyfriend to be shattered all at once, it must have been breaking her in two. Internally he was glad that, at the very least, she came to him during this, so she could hopefully get the reprieve from her grief.

By the time fifteen minutes had passed, Anna's sobs began to drift off, her breathing slowed and her constant flow of tears dried. The girl had seeming cried out all she had for now and focused only on the sounds of Kenny's comforting shushes and the hold of his arms. Her eyes grew heavy, and before she knew it, they drifted shut, and her exhausted body gave way to a blissful sleep. Kenny shut his eyes in relief, not even entertaining the thought of moving a muscle; he couldn't dream of waking Anna up, she needed to be asleep, away from all this at least for a few hours.

As Kenny drifted off to sleep as well, still holding Anna in his arms, a soft set of footsteps came towards the rec-room. After a moment Zoey peeked her head inside the room and paused, her eyes slightly widened as she stared at Kenny holding Anna in her arms. Then they fell into some disappointment, the girl let out a very soft sigh and turned around, hitting the light switch for the teens before shuffling back towards her room. Zoey didn't know why she had come down to see Kenny, part of her thought maybe she'd have spoken with him about his day, maybe check in on his well being or maybe even...it didn't matter.

Clearly, Zoey had missed her chance, made Kenny think that nothing was going to happen and he continued on his way, and that was okay, as long as it wasn't with Nicole. As the redhead returned to her room, she took a seat on her bed and shook her head. If it was okay then why did it feel like a stab through her body when she saw Kenny holding Anna?
