My Little Sister

Sisters

Chapter 21

Mackenzie's P.O.V (A few days later)

I woke up in my hospital bed as Sophie and Mum came in the room. They had visited every single day after Sophie finished school. Sophie came towards me and sat down beside me. Me and Sophie hadn't really said anything to each other since I had been in hospital. Mum and dad cleared their throats. "We're going to leave you girls to talk for a little bit. Is that okay?" Mum asked us. Me and Sophie nodded our heads at the same time.

Mum and dad smiled at us before they left the room. Sophie climbed onto the bed straight away and sat in front of me. I looked at her a second later. "This is all my fault..." Sophie trailed off as she looked down at her hands. I looked at her confused for a second before replying

"Why is this your fault? Were you the one who dropped me off a cliff into the water so I'd drown?" I asked Sophie. She looked up at me and shook her head.

"No. That was your mum." Sophie told me a second later as she fiddled with a strand of her hair.

"Then, it isn't your fault. You weren't the one who tried to kill me Sophie. You weren't the one who hurt me." I continued to explain to her

"But I shouldn't have told you. Mum and dad had a reason to keep it a secret and I told you." Sophie said to me.

"But you weren't to know that I was going to run away. No one knew that my mum had escaped from jail and was going to try and kill me by hanging me over the edge of a cliff and then dropping me." I replied to her.

"I'm sorry..." Sophie continued as tears pricked in her eyes. "I could have lost you."

"But you didn't." I reminded her. "I'm right here."

"But I could have." Sophie continued. "And I don't know what I would have done without you."

"You're my sister Mac. I know I haven't always acted like a sister to you but you are. I'm sorry that I didn't understand your issues and that I thought you were doing it all for attention. But it's frustrating, it's frustrating when you can tell that someone you love is struggling but you don't know why and you don't know how to help them. It's confusing as well, sometimes I really wish I could get into your head and understand everything because I honestly have no clue. It's exhausting, sometimes it can be almost impossible to understand why you act the way you do or why you get so hyper."

"But that doesn't make me love you any less. It's frustrating. Confusing and overwhelming sometimes but I don't love you any less. You're still you and I know that now. You're not anyone different because you have ADHD. You're Mac and you've always been Mac and you always will be Mac."

"Sometimes I feel confused and overwhelmed. I hate having no control over my body. It's like someone has a remote control that controls me and no matter how hard I try I can't get that remote to gain control. I know it's confusing for you and it's confusing for me. I don't understand why I get so hyper half the time but I'm trying. I really am." I replied to her.

"I know. But I accept you for you. Even if it means I have a sister with ADHD. I love you no matter what and I'll always love you." Sophie said to me. I smiled at her before she pulled me into a hug.

"Like we said when we were five years old we will always be best friends no matter what." She repeated to me.

"Because Ohana means family and family means no one is left behind or forgotten." She continued repeating the same words I'd said to her when we were five years old.

"I love you Mackenzie." Sophie whispered.

"I love you too." I whispered back.

Life was going to be confusing, overwhelming and frustrating and I knew that. Sometimes I'm going to have to fight harder than other people my age but as long as I had my family I knew that everything was going to be alright.

The End

So this book is officially finished. I don't know if I'll add a third book to the series because I have no ideas for a plot line. But I decided to have the last chapter as Sophie finally talking to Mac about her difficulties and telling her that she still loved her no matter what. So I hope you loved this book and thank you for all the votes and comments on this book and the last one. (Which has 7K reads AND over six hundred votes which is fucking crazy because I never expected that.) But thank you so much because that's fucking awesome like unicorns and pineapple sharks. Which don't exist but it would be cool if they did. Let's be honest here guys it would be more than cool if they existed. But anyway once again thank you for everything and I love you guys (in a non creepy way I promise.)
