It Wasn't Us, It Was You

Chapter 8

But, Maddie didn't. She survived the sadness from Kenzie's death, the hate from Dance Moms fans, the mean students at her school, etc. "Maddie, Kenzie wants you to dance." Kendall said, making Maddie feel better about herself. Kendall always comforted Maddie well.

Maddie didn't like checking her Instagram or Twitter. There was always millions of likes and comments. There was also tons of accounts posting pictures of her, tons of people wanting follows, likes, and coments. That's why Maddie never commented on pics, even if they were her own. She always saw lots of encouraging comments, and tons of comments that would decrease her spirits.

"Kenzie, I know it has been years, but I absolutely love you so much. If you can hear me, just know that I love you. I never meant to be mean to you." Maddie whispered, as she fell asleep that day.

'Ugh, school.' Maddie groaned, sitting up in her bed. She changed into a gray top with blue jeans, and her black combat boots. No makeup was needed, but she put on her EOS lip balm.

"Maddie's so dumb and so bad at dancing, don't you think Paige?" Chloe glared at Maddie. "Yeah" Paige answered, laughing. "What have I ever done to you?!" Maddie yelled, in the verge of tears. "Everything, you were always the best, until now." Chloe responded.

When Maddie reached home, she thought, "I can't survive everyone tearing me down, hating me. I did nothing wrong, Abby just favored me. I can't control that."

So, Maddie went to her mother's bathroom. She grabbed the jar of pills in the cabinet, walked back to her bedroom, and texted people.

Kendall, Chloe, and Paige had recieved the heart-breaking text. It said, "I'm sorry, but I have to leave the world. It's not because of you Kendall. It's because of the bullying, mainly from Chloe and Paige, the hate, and everyone else. That's why I'm leaving."

Maddie poured the pills in her hand and swallowed all of them at once.
