Maddie's POV:

I wake up the next morning and realize I am somehow at AJ's mom's house. I look at the clock and it reads 11:18. Oh my god Maggie and I are gonna be in so much trouble with Sabrina and Sadie. We were supposed to be home last night we had plans with our friends. I wake up Maggie and we go downstairs and see AJ sitting with her mom. I just stand there with Maggie confused. Before any of us could say anything AJ rushes us into the car and we head home. Once we enter inside we see Sabrina and Sadie standing there angrily.

"Hey Sabrina and Sadie is everything okay." I say worriedly chewing my nails as Sabrina and Sadie stare at Maggie and I with concern expressions

"I am so sorry we're late AJ's mom said she'd wake us up when it was time for us to come home. Maggie and I took a nap while waiting. I promise we won't ever do this again. We won't ever miss another planned thing." I say honestly hugging Sabrina and Sadie making Maggie smirk as I suck up to them

"I swear I would have called but my phone was dead. I asked Maddie to use hers and she left hers here last night. I would have charged my phone but I stupidly forgot to bring my charger with me last night." Maggie says explaining as she walk back standing next to me

"We promise we won't ever ditch you guys again. If we do happen to not be home when you need us I will call letting you know where we are. I will make sure we give you both a heads up. I'm so sorry we worried you both." I say making the motion of crossing her heart

"This isn't about that girls. Your sisters have something important they needed to tell me last night which is why you stayed at my mom's. They actually wanted to tell you today it concerns Sadie." AJ says calmly walking up to me and Maggie and rubbing our arms

"Wait what it is you are scaring me." I say crossing my arms moving away from AJ staring at Sadie and Sabrina

"Maggie honey you should go to your room this is something they want to tell Maddie about alone." AJ says whispering to Maggie making me even more freaked out as I watch Maggie angrily mutter under her breath as she runs upstairs slamming the door to her room.

"Look I'm gonna get straight to the point Sadie's hurting herself again." Sabrina says as she goes to check on Maggie in her room

"You kept me at your mom's house instead of letting me be here for Sadie." I state madly looking at AJ

"Since when do you have the right to fucking do that." I state yelling making Sadie flinch

"I love you Sadie but I will not allow you to do this. To keep secrets from me and for you to allow AJ to not let me be here for you like I was last time." I say as I go to my room slamming the door

Maggie's POV:

I hear as Sabrina knocks on my bedroom door. I sigh as I open my bedroom door. I open the door shaking my head as Sabrina sits on my bed. Why couldn't I be part of the conversation? What are Sabrina and Sadie And AJ keeping from me? Why do they treat me like I'm a baby? I head to my bed plugging in my phone playing "Paralyzed" by NF before practicing a new dance for TikTok. I'm interrupted as Sabrina clears her throat.

"Hey Mags we talk for a minute?" She ask as she stands up from my bed

"How long do you plan on keep me out in the dark from whatever is happening with Sadie?" I ask as she sighs

"I don't know. It ain't my secret to tell. What I do know is Sadie will let you in and tell you about it when she is ready." Sabrina says causing me to nod my head disappointingly

"Honestly I rather not be left out of everything. It feels like cause I'm the youngest I always am and it sucks." I say shrugging as Sabrina nods understandingly

"Yeah you have a point. It's just this whole thing is for her to tell. Just because we aren't telling you doesn't mean we don't trust you. We have all been through so much shit." Sabrina says as I continue practicing my new dance routine

"You working on a new dance?" Sabrina asks excitedly

"Yeah it's called contemporary solo called "Paralyzed" I'm really like how it is turning out so far. Let me know if it's good or not okay or if you think I have a chance at winning in competition?" I ask smiling as she nods quickly

"Wow it's truly beautiful Mags. You are really talented." Sabrina says after I finish dancing what I have choreographed so far

"It's not done yet but I'm glad you like it so far. I'm nervous about what my teacher will think." I say truthfully

"I do! I am really excited for this dance to be competed and done. It's gonna be the next number one trophy you get!" Sabrina says happily making me smile

"Thanks Sabs! You better head to your room before Sadie or Maddie get really pissed that you're in here without them. I don't feel like hearing any other complaints or fights today." I say as she nods hugging me before turning around leaving

I sigh as I watch her leave closing my door. Maybe if we I was older they would trust me more with their problems. Or maybe they would try to get to understand me a little bit better. I can't help but feel like things are changing in our sister dynamics. They don't know how I feel really. They are trying to be the sisters I needed when I was younger not the sisters I need now. I hope one day they can be the sisters I had before. I sigh as I put my phone away. I lay in my bed closing my eyes deciding to take a nap hoping today hurries up and finishes.
