Mackenzie's POV
Before I could do anything crazy I had to stop at the house. Tears already brimmed my eyes, but I ran up to my room. I grabbed a bag and packed some of my things.
There was a knock at the door.
"It's open," I say weakly.
My mother opens the door with an envelope and a plate of cookies in her hand. She sits on my bed and I sit next to her.
"This came in the mail," mom said.
I looked at it. It's from NYU. I got excited. I hoped it was an acceptance letter. But, it was anything but that.
It was a denial letter.
I wanted to cry more, I let out a loud groan.
"Well just think, you can stay and work at the diner," mom said eating a cookie. She offers one to me but I deny it.
She leaves my room. I finally decided it's time to do something.
It's time to leave.
-
I drove far away from the horrible place I called home. I drove till there was nothing. Then everything stopped. I looked and shouted. I ran out of fucking gas.
"FUCK!" I screamed.
Tears brimmed my eyes more and more. I slammed my hands repeatedly on the dashboard.
I have a full on meltdown.
"Why me?! Why FUCKING ME!"
I bring my knees to my chest. I wrap my arms around my knees and cried.
"Mackenzie?"
I look up and see Maddie and her friends. Including Brynn and Lauren. The two in my grade. They're still in their uniforms.
"Go the fuck away!" I say.
"Mackenzie, please," Maddie said.
"Madison I said leave. I can't fucking believe you! I fucking trusted you for once in sixteen years! You're a fucking bitch!" I scream.
"Mackenzie we had nothing to do with it, we swear," Brooke said.
I look up and shook my head. "I know you did stop fucking lying."
"Mackenzie, I swear we didn't. It was Nadia," Lauren said.
"How did she get my messages then?"
They look at each other. Something's going on. I know it.
"I did it Mackenzie," Kendall admits. "She wants a reason on why John dumped her. I said I knew you were talking to someone. When you left yesterday, I saw the chat room open, I saw the messages and I told Nadia," Kendall explains.
Maddie opens the door and pulls me out and hugs me.
"I'm sorry Mackenzie, I didn't know she'd do this. I really didn't. I'm so sorry," Kendall apologized.
I get out of Maddie's hug and stare at all of them. I look at my car. My dads old car. I started kicking the car putting dents in it.
Then I feel arms wrapped around me. I thrashed so much I wore myself out. I fell to the ground and cried more.
"Mackenzie, we've cut her off. She's not hanging with us anymore," Brynn said.
I look up and shook my head. "How's that going to help me then?! Everything's going to be great for all of you but not for me!"
