It Wasn't Us, It Was You

Chapter 7

But, it was just another memory of Kenzie. Kenzie had gone away forever... 'I was the reason she committed suicide and died. Me.' Maddie thought, sending a single tear down her cheek. More and more stayed in her eyes until she really couldn't take it. Maddie had been holding back her tears for so long. She really couldn't do it now. The tears rapidly ran down her checks and her black mascara started running, too.

But, Maddie just quickly wiped off her tears and wiped off all her makeup with an Almay Eye Makeup Remover pad.

Melissa knew her daughter didn't want comforting from her, so she ignored it even though in the back of her mind, she knew Maddie wasn't okay. Maddie acted so relaxed sometimes, and sometimes seemed so emotional. Kenzie was a very serious, but emotional topic. It was wierd. Apparently, Maddie only felt sensitive thinking about Kenzie or talking about her.

Maddie walked to the back if the bus, not wanting to talk to anyone. But Kendall followed her. "Mads, what wrong?" Her sweet voice soothed Maddie, and she relaxed. "I know it's been like a year or so, but Kenzie..." Maddie responded, holding back the tears that would spill out any minute now. "What about Kenz?" Kendall asked. "Oh, Kendall K, you don't understand. Mackenzie was my little sister, and she died because of what I said to her. She committed suicide because of me. I know it." Maddie confirmed. "Mads, Kenzie was all our little sisters. And it's not your fault." Kendall told her, wrapping Maddie in a hug. "I love you so much, Kendall." Maddie said. "I love you too, and I'll always be there for you." Kendall said.

What she didn't know was Maddie had an urge to end life. "Whatever happens, I will always love you." Maddie said, wrapping her best friend into one last hug.
