"Omg McKenna!" I scream
"Omg hiiiiiii!" McKenna screams we both give each other a hug.
"I haven't see you since I moved here" I say
"I've missed you" McKenna says.
"Wait Dylan did you know?" I ask him
"Well duh" he answers sarcastically.
"Thanks" I say before running upstairs to her room.
~~~~Mckenna's room~~~~~
Her room is goals. It's so pretty. And there's a screen to watch movies and YouTube on (see pic above).
"So how have you been??" McKenna asks
"Great. When did you move to California?" I say.
"I moved out here like 2 weeks ago maybe" she says.
"Why didn't you call???" I ask.
"I wanted to but I didn't know if you would remember me. Ya know cuz your like a famous you tuber now. Btw I love your videos" she says. She gets real quiet
"How could i forget one of my best friends. I've been so bored this summer. Well until this week." I answer her.
"Oh ya. That. I feel bad. Because like we are best friends and I'm worried that this role is gonna break our friendship. And your my bestie. Honestly your the only person I trust" she says
"Same. Let's promise this won't break our friendship" I say. I put my pinky in front of me. She looks and smiles.
"Pinky promise" she says shaking my pinky. We both laugh.
"So um where's your mom? And dad? And Josh? I can't wait to see them again" I say. Mckenna's smile turns into a sad face. Her eyes become glossy and I realize somethings wrong.
"Oh um. My mom and dad got in a car accident. They didn't make it. And Josh was in his car seat. I was uh told that um he-his seatbelt wasn't fastened tight enough or something and he flew out of the car. They still haven't found his body, but the doctor said he's probably dead considering he's 6 years old, frail, small and deathly afraid of being alone. Now I just wait for a call from the police, fire department or the doctor saying that he's either alive or...dead. " McKenna finishes. She's emotionless. I can tell she's told the story many times.
"Oh...I'm so so so sorry McKenna. Why didn't you call me. I could've been there for you" I say. I can feel that I'm about to almost cry.
"Well like I said. I thought you wouldn't remember me. And plus I didn't talk much to anyone after the accident. I wasn't in the car when it happened, but I feel like I was. Sometimes I wake up at night crying because it hurts. Or maybe it's the realization that my family is gone." She says. Again with no emotion. McKenna has always been a strong kid. Even when she broke her arm on her trampoline when she was 5 at her birthday party, she didn't cry. She cried when she realized that her party was over. My mom was on a date with Dylan's dad that day-it was gonna be a sleepover- so I went to the hospital with them. She didn't cry. She laughed. I still spent the night and it was one of my favorite birthday parties of hers. She loved playing with me, and Dylan when he moved in with us. And we were super close. We were always at each others houses. Them Dylan got the part of stiles and we moved to LA. It was really hard and we had promised to FaceTime everyday, but I guess she got busy and I got busy with YouTube and we kinda just drifted apart. I never realized how much her life changed in just a few years With out me.
"McKenna I-" I begin to say. But I'm interrupted by Dylan
"Hey Evelyn let's get goin. Mom wants to meet at home" Dylan yells from the bottom of the white wooden stairs.
"Be down in a few minutes" I yell back
"Wait McKenna I need your cell. We need to hangout more." I say. She nods and gives me her number. I give her mine. We walk down the stairs.
"I'll text you later tonight" I tell her.
"Totally" she says back. Me and Dylan walk down the drive way and get in his car.
"How did it go?" Dylan asks.
"Her whole family died and I didn't even know it. We were best friends and I wasn't there for her." I say. I feel so guilty.
"Her foster mom said she didn't talk to anyone. She just locked herself in her room and only came down for dinner and brought it back to her room. No tv. No phone. Nothing. She just say on her bed in the dark." Dylan said.
"How did you know ms. Astin?" I ask him
"She was my acting coach for a while. She told me she had taken in a foster kid and I asked who. She told me who and I recognized the name right away. Then she told me everything that had happened. Kate got her the audition. She loves caring for her and is hoping to adopt her." Dylan adds
"Her little brother is missing" I say quietly
"Does she think he's still alive?" Dylan asks
"Yeah. She has some hope. Not much. But some." I say
"Hope is a great thing. It gets you through a lot" Dylan says. I smile and nod. He starts driving.
~~~~at Dylan's house in LA~~~~
I have my own room at Dylan's house for when I spend the night. I open my laptop and FaceTime McKenna. She answers and we talk more about our lives. We talk until 2:30am. I lay, trying to fall asleep in a big round white fluffy chair. With the moonlight shining dimly through my curtains. My eyes start to fall and slowly they shut and I'm dreaming about the good times I had with McKenna and how much better my life is gonna be if and when I get the role as Stella Stilinski. If only McKenna wasn't so talented maybe, Just maybe I would have a shot.

A/N. Hope you liked this chapter. I just felt like McKenna is probably gonna be a bigger character thru the rest of the story so I thought you all deserved to know about her past. Thank you to all of you who are reading it. I really am enjoying writing this series.  Love you all❤️
