On The Verge (A Dance Moms Fanfic)

Maddie

          "Madison and Mackenzie Ziegler get in here RIGHT NOW!!!" Mom called. I sighed and glanced nervously at my scared seven year old sister. "Maddie I'm scared," she whispered hoarsely. I nodded and picked her up. "It's ok," I said as we walked into the den where my mom was standing next to a broken vase. Mackenzie whimpered into my shoulder. I could tell she was scared because of last night's affair.

Flashback:

"Mackenzie!!!" Mom called. Mackenzie skipped into the kitchen where mom was and I followed her. There was a carton of milk on the counter. It was obviously spoiled because Mackenzie had left it out too long. "Oh...I'm sorry mommy." Kenzie apologized. "Sorry doesn't cut it this time you idiot!" She screamed and picked my sister up. Kenzie squirmed and cried but mom didn't care. I said nothing. She threw Mackenzie on the couch and grabbed a hard-cover book from the coffee table. Then she starting hitting Kenzie with it on the head, stomach, feet, everywhere! Kenzie screamed. She threw Kenzie off the couch and pushed my seven year old sister into the wall and started to slap her hard. Tears poured down poor Kenzie's face. I couldn't take this anymore. "Mom stop you're hurting her!" I yelled. "That's the point Maddie!" Mom yelled, whacking Mackenzie on the head with her fist one last time before Mackenzie went unconscious. "Mom! Kenzie!" I screamed. Mom stomped up to me and smashed a vase in my head. That was all I remembered before I blacked out.

Flashback over.

"Girls......" Mom yelled. We walked in, Kenzie scared in my arms. There was a broken vase on the floor. "Maddie, Mackenzie!" She yelled and pointed sternly to a spot in front of her. Before I could even take two steps, she yelled, "Stop!" I stopped. "Put Mackenzie down. She's not hobbled; she can walk!" I nodded and set Mackenzie down gently. "You'll be ok, I promise," I told her, praying it was true. She nodded but obviously didn't agree. We walked to mom and I held Kenzie's hand the whole time. "Who did it?!" She asked. Neither of us said anything. "God dang it which one of you pee-brains smashed the flippin vase?!" Mom screamed. Mackenzie raised her hand slowly. "Come here," mom said. Kenzie glanced nervously at me. I looked into her deep brown eyes, and noticed for the twentieth time that day that her left one was black. Then she looked at mom again.

           Mom smacked Mackenzie across the face. Kenzie covered her face. Then mom kicked her in the stomach. "Ow..." Mackenzie whined, doubling over in pain. Mom pushed her in the ground and stomped her chest. Mackenzie screamed and cried and it took me no more than a second to know that her rib was broken. Mackenzie wheezed and coughed but mom kept attacking her with stomps to the chest. "Mom you're going to hurt her bad!!" I yelled. Mom looked at me. She walked over. I took a few steps back in fear. "Madison Nicole you come here!" She yelled. I stopped moving backwards. She grabbed me by my hair and hit the back of my head hard. She then stomped on my toes multiple times and threw me into the wall. She grabbed a pair of scissors from the table and stabbed my shoulder. I cried out in pain. "Stop! Stop!" I yelled. She threw the scissors at Mackenzie. Luckily, they missed her. Then mom walked away.

         Despite the pain in my right shoulder, I ran up to Mackenzie. "Kenzie!" I whispered. "Maddie..." She said in a raspy voice. "It's ok, you're gonna be ok," I lied through my teeth. She didn't say anything. I grabbed my phone from its hiding place under the couch. It was necessary to hide it under there because mom had taken it but I had gotten it back, and she always searched mine and Kenzie's room, so she would find it and abuse us more. So I hid it. Rather than dialing 911 like I probably should've, I texted Chloe.

¥ - Bye Chlo thx

I put my phone back and put my good arm under Kenzie's head. I think she saw the blood on my arm. "M-maddie you're b-bleeding-" I interrupted. "Don't worry Kenz I'm fine Chloe's on her way." I told her. "It's h-hard to b-breathe Madd-die," Kenzie whimpered and I nodded. "It's ok Kenzie it's ok." I told her. She slowly nodded and then fell asleep.
