Losing my other half

The interview

*Just a BTW the rest of the view points will be on McKenna and maybe some other character. Just a heads up*

McKenna's POV

The rest of my Sunday was horrible. I went to go see Ethan at around 4 and I walked in the room, saw Kelly slobbering all over my best friend, and walked away. Well, in my mind Ethan was my best friend. Now I'm practically a stupid stranger that didn't even matter.

Oh well. I could make new friends right? There were a few people that seemed nice. But I didn't focus on that. All I wanted was my friend back. But you gotta fight for what's yours right? Right.

I had dinner at the hospital with him and his family. I decided to at least try to win my friend back.

"Here is you and me last Halloween dressed up as the Doctor and the TARDIS from Doctor Who." I said holding up the picture.

He took it, looked at it, and Kelly took it away from him. She wanted him all to herself. She had the power. If I tried to do anything she would ruin it or destroy evidence. She could spread fricking rumors about me and destroy me. She's evil.

"So umm, how long have you known her Ethan?"

"Errm. Uhh, well I don't recall but she says 7th grade" Ethan said pointing at Kelly.

I nodded my head. I didn't dare ask anymore questions. Kelly gave me a stare that said "keep trying and I'll hurt you physically and mentally". So I backed off.

"Hey dad? I feel a little under the weather. Can I go home?"

"I guess. Say good bye and I'll meet you at home"

I said goodbye to everyone and walked home. It was only 2 miles. I was pretty fit for my age. But I never worry about that. It's irrelevant in high school.

I arrived home and got a Nutella sandwich. Hospital food is disgusting. I turned on the tv and if was still on the news. It just reported the update on Ethan. They were... Interviewing the people at the hospital? What?

I didn't mind much I guess. I mean you never know I might be famous enough to get interviewed a whole lot. You never know.

It was only 8:30 but I was TIRED! So I turned off the tv and raced up into my room. The bed just whispered my name "McKenna. Come sleep on me. I'm very comfortable". It didn't have to tell me twice. I jumped onto it and covered up.

My dad burst through the door and it scared me so much. He raced up the stairs with thumps from his feet.

"MCKENNA!" He screamed

"What..." I moaned already half asleep.

"The news wants to do an interview with you tomorrow morning!"

I shot up from laying down to sitting straight up. "What?" I smiled and got up. "For real?"

"For real!" My dad jumped up and down with me and with each jump we said "yay!" Then I paused.

"Why do an interview with me?" I asked with some sort of disappointment.

"Because they want to hear your side of the story."

"Oh. Okay." I shrugged and jumped on my bed once again. Hopefully I would get up in time. I'll let my dad handle getting me up. Meanwhile I'll be sleeping.

*the next morning*

"McKenna! Get up! You need to get ready for the interview! I forgot to tell you it's pretty early!" dad shouted from downstairs.

"Mmmeehhh" I groaned and rolled onto the floor.

I got up and put on a white tee and some bleached shorts. I zombie walked over to the bathroom and brushed my hair and put on some Crest whitestrips. Just applied some lip gloss and mascara. The clock read 6:00 am on my phone. I trudged down the stairs and the news cast was

Already there.

"Here hun have a mint!" The reporter handed me a mint and I plucked it in my mouth.

"My name is Courtney and I will be interviewing you! You are McKenna right?"

"Yup! That's me!"

"So we are going to be on in about, hmm, 10 minutes!"

"Okay! Sounds good! I'm hungry. Can I eat something?" I shot a look at my dad and he shrugged. "Okay then" I mumbled.

I grabbed a pear and started to eat it. The clock now read 6:05 and we would be on in 5 minutes. My pear got gobbled down so I sat in a chair and waited for Courtney to join me.

"Okay hun. I'm going to ask you a few questions and you'll answer truthfully."

"Oh trust me I will"

"5...4...3...2..." The camera man pointed at Courtney and she started talking.

"Thanks Jim. I'm here with McKenna Walker and her side if the deadly car crash her best friend was in."

Then she started asking me questions.

"So McKenna, what did you do when you found that your best friend had been in a deadly car crash?"

"Well, first I broke down in tears and ran to the hospital he was in which is only two miles away. I didn't have shoes on so my feet were scratched up and bruised. They still are."

"Mmhm. Now about Saturday night. What was he doing that lead him into the crash?"

"We went to homecoming for the first time. He dropped me off at 10 and he headed home."

"Right. Now when you saw him what did he say?"

Oh no. Years were starting to form in my eyes. I could tell they glistened with tears.

"Well." I sighed, "I went up to hug him after surgery was done, and he." I grabbed a few tissues and cried.

"He didn't remember me. He remembered everyone else but not me. He remembered his parents but not me."

"Cut! That's a wrap!" The camera man sad rather loudly.

"Nice meeting you McKenna!" Courtney walked out of my house. I bet she didn't even realize I was crying.

"It's okay hun." My dad's hand rubbed my back. I went back upstairs and reapplied my mascara. Now I had to go to school. Where everyone would stare at me.
