Broken & Beaten ( A DanceMoms Fanfiction )

Away

I hear sirens now. I am waking up slowly. The world is blurry. I hear someone screaming. There's blood everywhere.

I black out.

I wake up to see a firemen holding me. Charlotte next to him holding my hand. I can hear the echoed voices calling my name and Charlotte's mouth moving. I am placed on a stretcher and they put an oxygen mask on my face.

I feel really dizzy and black out again.

This time when I wake up I know I'm in the hospital.

About one minute after I wake up a few doctors rush in.

I can see clearly now, but my head hurts still.

They start asking me questions.

"What's your name?"

"What city are you from?"

"What street do you live on?"

"What school do you go to?"

I try to answer the questions but they're going to fast.

Everything starts spinning again and I black out.

•Maddie's POV•
I just heard about Kendall. Me, my mom and Mackenzie jump in the car and drive off.

We arrive at the hospital a little while later. I run to the front desk.

"Hello who are you here to-"

"Kendall K Vertes! What room is she is?"

She types something on the computer and looks at me.

"Ms., she was in a trauma accident."

"I know! Just let me see her!"

"Room 204 3rd floor." She says handing me a "visitor" sticker.

I run down a narrow hall and stop at the elevator. I look which level it's at. 6th level. It starts coming down and finally reaches the bottom. A load of people file out and Mackenzie and my mom are next to me. We get it and I press the 3

I run down the hall and look for 204. I find it and swing the door open.

As I walk in I see Kendall lying there asleep. And IV cord in her arm, casts and a lot more.

I walk over and sit next to her. I gently hug her, knowing her condition. Her eyes flutter and she wakes up.

I can tell she is doing bad.

She looks around and spots me.

"Maddie?" She asks.

"Yes Kendall it's me."

"Why are you here? You hate me."

"No I don't I'm so sorry!"

"Okay." She takes a deep breath, "Maddie?"

"Yes Kendall?"

"Ryleigh. She's dead." I stroke Kendall's hair as a tear rolls down my cheek.

"I know, I know Kendall." I hug her.

"Maddie I don't think I'm going to make it." She closes her eyes and a few seconds and takes another breath.

"It's okay. I love you Kendall." Nick walks in. "I'm going to go. Nick is here." I walk out with tears rolling down my face.

As we drive home I put my head on the window and think. If Kendall dies, I won't have a best friend anymore. I mean, yeah, theres Chloe, and Paige, but they're already best friends. Brooke's too old. Jojo, Asia and Mackenzie already are best friends. Nia's a pathological liar and a horrible person.

Well there's Kalani. She seems nice enough.

When we get home I run up to my room. I take my phone off my nightstand and text Kalani.

M: Hey Kalani ;))

K: Hey?

M: What's wrong?

K: You never really talk to me. Idk

M: Well... Wanna hang out?

K: Okay, sure :)

M: Be at my house at 5:00 we can go swimming.

K: Okay.

I put my phone down and run downstairs.

"Hey mom, Kalani is coming over to swim at five." I say smiling.

"Well that's different." She says tilting her head.

"No it's not. We're friends." I rise my eyebrows.

"Okay then. I'll make snacks."

Kalani arrives at 4:56

I am already in my bathing suit so we head out to the pool.

We splash around and do flips into the pool until Kalani has to leave.

Once she's gone I head to the living room to watch some tv.

My mom walks in.

"You seemed like you had a lot of fun with Kalani!" She beamed

"Oh, um yeah. Sure." I said looking the other way.

"Maddie I know you miss being able to do this stuff with Kendall."

I sigh. "I know."

"It's okay to miss her. But trying to replace her isn't going to help."

"Okay."

•The next day•
I wake up to Mackenzie shaking me.

"What? What?!"

She jumps off.

"Maddie Kendall's dying! We need to go now!!"

I jump out of bed and get changed and brush my hair. I grab a pair of socks and Uggs and run downstairs. We all get it the car and leave.

We park and I run into the hospital. A different women is sitting at the front desk. Before she can say anything I tell her what I need.

"Kendall K Vertes room 204 3rd floor."

The women looks shocked but hands me a visitor sticker. I run down the hall get on the elevator. I pressed the 3 about 100 times.

I run into her room and sit at the chair next to her. She opens her eyes.

"Hi Maddie," She smiles weakly. "I'm going to die. I'm sorry."

"No no no! Don't be sorry. It's not your fault."

Kendall reaches her arm out and strokes my hair. She closes her eyes for a few seconds. I see out of the corner of my eye her heart monitor drop.

"I love you Maddie. I won't let go yet."

I think to myself. Don't make her suffer anymore.

"Kendall, it's okay to let go now."

•Kendall's POV•
I can barely see Maddie. I don't want to leave her here. I've told her I'm trying to hold on but she's saying it's okay to let go. I feel my heart get weaker and I know the end is soon.

I glimpse at Maddie for a short second and murmur a goodbye. She is tightly gripping my hand.

I close my eyes, and I am finally in peace again.
