Why me

Why me P32

Kenzie-“We aren’t what?” I said as I turned my head in her direction. I had no clue as to what Jessie was about to say, as I stared deeper and deeper into her eyes, I tried to think of something, anything, but there was nothing I could possibly think of.

Jessie-“Just forget it.”

Kenzie-“Jessie, I’m not just going to ‘forget it’” I said mocking her cockney accent. “Just please tell me.” Jessie sighed.

Jessie-“I love you Kenzie okay, and that’s why I’m not going to let whatever anyone says or does affect you, just promise me that you know I love you okay?”

Kenzie-“Yeah I know you do.” I said. I was still confused, like Jessie just blatantly avoided my question. I could see Jessie was getting upset so I figured I’d just drop it until another time.

Jessie-“You do know, like with my job and everything, I’m not always going to be around?” Jessie asked wearily.

Kenzie-“Oh.” I said, not really giving many emotions away.

Jessie-“What?”

Kenzie-“That’s what this is about. When you go away on tour, you think I’m going to forget you.”

Jessie-“Hm, it’s not about that Kenz.” Jessie looked down and fiddled with her hands. I didn’t really want to know. As much as I was intrigued and interested, I knew what it was would probably just upset me.

Kenzie-“Okay, how about, I go to sleep, and when I wake up and ask you what this was about, you just convince me that this was all just a dream, that way, you won’t have to upset me.” Jessie wiped a stray tear away that had fallen down her cheek.

Jessie-“But it’s not a dream, and this really did happen Kenz.”

Kenzie-“WHAT HAPPENED JESS?” I shouted. I really didn’t mean to shout it, but I was angry and confused and I had no idea what was going on. Our conversation just wasn’t making sense.

Kenzie-“HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING, IF YOU WONT TELL ME!”

Jessie-“We aren’t sisters Kenzie.”

Jessie-“Okay, did you hear me, we aren’t sisters.” Tears were rolling down Jessie’s cheeks, left right and centre.

Kenzie-“W-w-what?” Was all that I managed to stutter out. I wanted to ask more, but I could already feel my voice breaking.
