Maddie's POV/Flashback:

The next Tuesday night I was in Mackenzie's room making a YouTube video with her. Dance Moms was about to start, so we turned on her TV and decided to watch a little bit. I continued trying out different hairstyles on her wavy brown hair as we laughed at how the camera seemed to catch all our sloppy moments in rehearsal. That week I was doing the solo, Cry, which became more popular than I could even imagine. The "Up Next" bar flashed on the screen, and there was a sneak peek of the footage Sam had filmed with Chloe, Jojo, Kendall, Me, and Paige. Gosh, that lady had to suck everyone into her drama! After the commercial, the scene was on. I laughed at how stiff and fake Kendall looked saying her forced lines, but Mackenzie wasn't laughing, she was staring at the TV, looking as if she was about to cry. Then Paige began to speak.

"Maddie, your little sister is such a bad dancer. She's ugly too." Paige said.

"I agree, Paige!" I replied on camera. My heart dropped to my feet. Lifetime just messed with the wroooong family. I thought. I got up angrily to go tell Mom, when I was stopped by a whimpering sound. 

"MADDIE HOW COULD YOU?!?!!" Mackenzie screamed. 

"Kenz, I didn't! They edited it I swear!" I told her.

"You're lying! You hate me just like everybody else!"

I shook my head, "No, Mackenzie I promise I don't hate you! You're the best little sister I could ever ha-" I was cut off.

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" She shouted, her face dripping with tears. 

I slowly backed out, still trying to explain. 

"NO! GET OUT. NOW!" She screamed at me. Now I was crying. 

For the next ENTIRE MONTH, Mackenzie avoided me. She even became mean to me, making fake social media accounts and cyberbullying me. Online, she said I was all the things Kendall was forced to call her. Ugly, a bad dancer, dumb. I was so depressed. I had lost my positive, funny, kind-hearted little sister because of a stupid TV show. I considered quitting everything. The show, even dance, even life! After a while I just became angry, not sad. I began to show Mackenzie as much hate as she showed me. One day though, Mackenzie approached me. She actually tried to apologize, but I wouldn't listen. "You were so mean to me for a whole month. You know, maybe I hate you now!" I shouted.

"Do you?" She asked in a sad, timid voice.

"Yes." I replied harshly and walked away.

About a week after I said I hated her, Kenz fell during her solo, and broke her finger. She hobbled off stage towards me, crying, needing me to comfort her, but I stared into her frightened, pained eyes and said, "Go away, I don't care about you anymore remember?" I looked back at her, she looked as if her heart had been shattered with a hammer into many pieces. Seeing her like thins broke my heart. 

End of flashback

I sighed as I took a bite of my warm Pop Tart. The truth is, I do still care, I love Mackenzie. I want  my little sister back, but it's too late.
