*MacKenzie's POV*
Hi I'm MacKenzie Paige Summers, 15 years old and I'm the girl who's known to have that bubbly and bright personality but, deep, deep inside I'm a complete wreck....
I was raised in an orphanage where my mother left me when I was just weeks old. My time in that place were the most horrible moments in my life. They treated me like garbage so when I was 10 years old and can't take all those things anymore, I ran away. I ran away and never looked back. I lived on the streets for about 2 years and a half until a couple took me in and treated me like their own child.
They fed me, dressed me and enrolled me to a great school so I can continue my studies. They are the sweetest, nicest and most wonderful people I've ever met. For 3 years, I now have a loving family, a humble home and the best friends ever but, somehow I still feel that I'm not yet happy; that I'm not yet complete. Yes, I now have the family that I always wanted and almost all the good things in the world but I still feel empty. I still feel that there's something missing. For months I've been trying to figure out what it is. But still no luck.
WHAT COULD IT BE? This is the question running in my mind the whole morning and I can feel my mom's eyes on me while we were having breakfast.
"MacKenzie." my mom called me.
"MacKenzie!" my mom called me again.
"Whoops haha sorry 'bout that mom." I replied finally waking up from my little daydream.
"What's got into you Kenzie? You haven't touched your food yet." my dad asked me after giving me and mom a kiss on the cheek.
"I just have this empty feeling in me and I don't even know why." I said with a pout before eating my toast.
"How would you describe this "empty" feeling, dear?" mom asked.
"Are the things we give you aren't enough?" dad asked.
"NO!" I quickly replied. "NO NO NO NO! You guys give me more than enough and I am very VERY thankful for that."
"Well what is it, honey?" dad asked again
"Mom, dad, did you ever feel that even though you have all the things in the world you still feel somehow empty? Like you have this BIG house, you have cars, you have money, you basically have all the good things in the world but you're still not feeling happy and complete? That's how I feel..I have a loving family, a nice house and my friends but I still feel empty." I explained
"Yes, I felt that when I was still young, Kenzie" my dad told me
"Did you ever figure out what was that missing thing?" I asked
"Trisha." dad said
"Huh?" I ask dumbfounded
"Your mom. She was that missing thing. I have everything back then but I still feel empty. Turned out that the thing missing was love." he said while looking at mom with love in his eyes.
"MacKenzie, maybe it's love. Maybe that's what missing in you." mom said while looking at dad with love in her eyes too.
"But you love me! My friends love me! How could love be the missing thing?" I asked
"It's that kind of love that only one person can provide you" dad said
"I don't get it" I said
"You'll know dear, you'll know" they both said at the same time
Righ then, my phone goes off signaling me that I should go to school
"Well, I gotta go mom, dad. Thanks for the breakfast, mom. Bye dad. Love you both!" I said while giving both of them a kiss on the cheek.
I started walking away when dad called me
"KENZIE! CATCH!" and he threw me an apple and luckily I caught it.
"Thanks dad!! bye again!" I said for the last time
"Take care at school, dear!" mom yelled
"I will!" I yelled back at walked out the door and went to the bus stop. I have a car but I just don't feel like using it right now. There are just so many things in my head right now.
LOVE? IS THAT WHAT'S MISSING? HOW CAN IT BE LOVE?
I kept on asking myself that question until I get to the bus stop.
