His Legacy

Chapter 9

Margie's POV
As I tell Regina what's going to happen, she just nods. I can't imagine what's going on in her head right now, probably thinking that my room is a huge mess, which is true. "Deal, I'll be back in a week. Here's my number, call me. Please."
     "Okay. Goodbye," I respond. As she turns to leave I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding, I guess I really did want here to like me. That was the last thought on my mind as I lay in my bed drifting into sleep.
Third Person POV
     Beep beep beep beep beep beep
     Is what Margie wakes up to every morning at 6:30. She groans as she turns over to turn off her alarm. As she is scrolling mindlessly on her different social media's she looks over at her desk with the paper that holds her biological mother's phone number. After thirty minutes pass she decides she should probably get in the shower, now that she only has an hour left.
     After her scolding hot shower, she wraps herself in a towel and makes her way back to her bedroom. She slips into her light blue, ripped jeans, and gray t-shirt. Her usual Tuesday outfit. As she makes her way to her dresser to brush her hair and do some light make up she hears her phone ding. She notices Zac name pop up and opens the text.
Zac: Good morning. Hope you slept well <3
As clingy as Zac can be, he is also really sweet. As she smiles at her phone she notices the time, she only has 15 minutes left to brush her hair, do her makeup, and get to school. She'll be cutting it close, but should make it in time. Leaving Zac on read she starts doing her morning routine.
The whole day at school, Margie tried to avoid Ally and Zac. She doesn't want to deal with telling them she is leaving, let alone telling them why. She made it all the way to last period when Ally finds her at her locker. "Why were you avoiding me?" Ally says with sadness slipping through her tone.
"What?" Margie says deciding to just play dumb instead of just explaining what's going on.
"You know what I mean. I'm your best friend, I know when you're lying and you sure are." It was when Ally said that, she knew she had to tell her what was going on, she had to tell her everything.
"I'm so sorry, I really am, but I can't tell you right now. Meet me at Starbucks after school and I will tell you everything, I promise."
"Okay, we better go if we don't want to be late, see you later."
"Later."

"Wow," is all Ally can say. They are sitting at a table in the local Starbucks with empty cups in front of them. Margie told her everything, from being given up at birth, to her "mom" coming back for her. The only thing Ally doesn't know is what happened in her last foster home, no one knows that anymore, and no one ever will. "Margie, I'm so sorry. Why didn't you tell me, I could've helped."
"No, Ally. It's not your problem. I don't want that burden on your shoulders, it's my problem so I'm going to be the one to deal it." Ally could feel Margie's walls being rebuilt right i front of her, even if her best friend was leaving, she didn't want to lose her like this.
"Stop. I understand that you are going through a lot right now but that doesn't mean you can just shut me out. I already spent so much time trying to get to open up and when you finally do you just try and shut me out again. No way am I going to let that happen, just because you're moving doesn't make you any less of my best friend."
Next thing they know they are hugging with tears in their eyes. "I'm so sorry, I should have told you, I'm sorry," Margie says tears now streaming down her face. Not just because of everything they both confessed, but because soon they were going to be separated.
"Have you told Zac," Ally asked Margie.
"And that would be the next thing in the to do list," Margie said with a sigh, "I'm not telling him everything though, just that I'm leaving. Will you come with me when I tell him?"
"Of course, bestie," ally said while trying to hold back a laugh.
"Ew, ew. stop," Margie replied laughing as they walked out of the Starbucks.
