"Do you really think we should stay?" Alexa asks me as we camp outside in the forest. Just one day and school begins, might as well have a little bit of fun.

"Yesss! I told you already like a million times!" I almost scream at her. She sometimes could get a little paranoid, but she is my best friend, so I have to stand her. We settle down and after 20 minutes we get inside the tent.

"Did you see McCall yesterday? He was freaking hot!" I tell Alexa, McCall is the most sexiest guy in the world, and of course I will get him.

"Yes........ you shouldn't go out with him Mackenzie" she tells me with a worried face.

"Why?" I ask her with a really mad tone, she shouldn't tell me who to date or not. Less when she doesn't know anything about dating.

"Because he might hurt you, he is a player" she tells me looking down at her hands.

"Well, maybe you haven't thought about me hurting him?" I ask her, she should know who I am, I'm the most popular girl in school and town. Nobody hurts me, I hurt them.
Alexa looks at me and then away, she knows I'm right.

"Look, we will not fight over a guy about if he will hurt me or not, don't worry I won't go after him" I tell her and make a small smile. Of course I will go after him, but I don't want to fight right now, last day of vacation, school will begin, senior year, let's have fun.

"I'm sleepy Mackenzie, I'll go to sleep now" Alexa throws herself on the blankets and I jump on top of her.
She laughs and pushes me away, I settle on my own side and close my eyes.

Alexa's pov.

I woke up to the chirping of birds and the sunlight hitting my face. I flutter my eyes and then rub them, Mackenzie must've gone out for fresh air, she isn't anywhere in the tent to be seen. I put in my sweater and walk out the tent while squinting as the sun hits my face.

I look around but Mackenzie isn't anywhere. I call out her name but she still doesn't appear. Where is she? I knew this wasnt a good idea, maybe she went to go do her business and found herself Lost.

I begin to do my search hunt and after some minutes I find her. She is lying on the ground facing down.

"Oh my god, Mack!" I run over to her and when I turn her body around everything is covered in blood, her face has scars and blood, her shirt is ripped of and a K is carved in her stomach. I swallow back a sob and check her pulse for any sing of life.

My best friend is gone, she is dead.

Tears escape my eyes and I clutch her body tight with mine, This must be a bad dream, this can't be true. I bite the inside of my cheek but I can only feel pain. I stay there, holding her body and crying my eyes out. This can't be true, is all I repeat in my head.

1 weak later

"Alexa, are you alright?" My mom asks me as I put my last black pearl earring on. It's been a weak since I found Mackenzie dead in the woods, they asked me what had happened, but I truly didn't know. School had been a haze, people asking me about Mackenzie, they even got to accusse me of killing her.
I didn't care much, the pain and grief were eating me, nothing seemed to matter anymore.

"I'm fine mom, let's go" I force a small smile and grab my bag, today was the funeral, Mackenzie was going underground forever, I was never going to see her alive again, sometimes I thought she was just going to come in my room in her sassy way and force me to get dressed for one of her parties. But then I realize that's never going to happen again. I will never see her gorgeous smile again, or her usual smirk when she knows she was right.
