Together {MNZ&MFZ}

4- Im Sorry...

MADDIE'S POV

I stomped off to the office wondering why I was being called. I walk through the office doors to see none other than my mom and Mackenzie, with a white towel, which was now half red, wrapped around her face. Turns out Mackenzie needed to go home and so did I.

The car ride was silent, just how I wanted it to be. I was looking out the window when I felt a small tap on my shoulder. I turned my head and Mackenzie spoke up. "Im uh sorry I didnt tell you sooner, but um ... Lexi has been-" I cut her off not wanting to hear excuses. "Yeah whatever I dont care Mackenzie. Just know whenever your in trouble...Kalani will always be there for you. You know, because shes obviously a bigger help to you then I am" I snapped. Her face turned into a frown and she looked like she was about to cry. What have I done? I never talk to her like that. "Kenz Im so sorry i didnt mean it Im just ...upset" I said quietly. " Save it, Madison" she said firmly. She never called me Madison. Only if she was really hurt or upset, which Im guessing shes both.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We were finally home and both Mackenzie and I ran up to our rooms. I couldnt take it. I just started crying. Crying beacuse my baby sister was in pain. Crying beacuse I caused my baby sister pain. 'How did this happen?' I thought. 'We used to be best friends'.

After an hour of crying, I looked on twitter. I was suprised to see a picture of Mackenzie, on the gym floor, with blood everywhere. I cheaked to see who the tweet was from.

@ Lexi_Johnsonxox: Look at this little nerd, doesnt even know how to catch a dodge ball. Is she even a Ziegler? #oops

I stared at my screen. Lexi? Lexi Johnson was the one that threw the ball at my sister? Was is by accident? It had to be. She was so nice to Mackenzie, maybe too nice. That comment was a bit rude, but she mightve been joking. I need to ask Mackenzie about this. Ill talk to her at dance! She'll be over this by then.

MACKENZIE'S POV

I just stared at my phone screen. Why would she do this?! 187 retweets and 133 favs! I cant take her bullying anymore. I need to stand up to her.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"MADDIE, MACKENZIE TIME FOR DANCE LETS GO!" my mom Melissa yelled from the bottom of the staires. Urgh dance. All I ever do is get yelled at and compared to Maddie. Im also always on the bottom of the pyramid.

I grabbed my dance bag and walked down the staires, seeing Maddie at the front door. I dont understand why she was so mad at me. Im the one who got hit in the face with a dodge ball. And shes the one who "hates me". I rolled my eyes and brushed pass her before heading to the car.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We walked into the studio then into the den to change. "Hey Mads hey Kenz" Jojo said happily. "Hi" Maddie mumbled. Whats her deal? I simply waved. "Hows you nose Kenz!" Kendall asked. "Better just a bruise but its fine. Thanks Kk" I smiled. Maddie just looked down at her shoes. Seriously, when was Madison Ziegler EVER sad?!

MADDIE'S POV

I couldnt help but feel terrible for yelling at Mackenzie. Im just worried about her.

I brushed my thoughts off and walked into studio A were pyramid was about to start. I hated pyramid, it was almost always the same. Me at the top, and Kenzie at the bottom.

"Alright girls get in your line" Ms Abby yelled. "On the bottom...Mackenzie. You forgot your solo! And you were horrible in the group dance! Why cant you be more like youe sister! She would never do what you did" I looked at Mackenzies face. She was frowning, and once again, she looked like she was going to cry. I have to help her, even though I might get in trouble. "Uh- I have forgotten -m-y solo before...I thought she was-um great." I stuttered. Abby looked shocked. I knew she was about to scream at me. She opened her mouth to yell at me, then turned to Mackenzie. "MACKENZIE FRANCES ZIEGLER!" she yelled. Why though? "Wh-what" she looked so scared. "WHY DOES YOUR SISTER ALWAYS HAVE TO STAND UP FOR YOU! her screams got louder. "I-I didnt ask h-er too." she mumbled. "THATS IT. YOUR BENCHED THIS WEEK. NO SOLO. NO GROUP. NO NOTHING. GO SIT ON THE BENCH." she screamed. A saw a tear roll down Kenzies cheek. I felt like the worst sister in the entire planet. I just make things worse for her.  She nodded and took a seat on the bench, knowing to not talk. Abby continued with the pyramid and assignments. I had a solo called "Golden Girl" and there was a group number called "Dance Bop". Kenzie wouldve loved the group dance. I looked over at her and she was just looking down at her feet. Why does she have it so hard? •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Dance was over and we were all talking in the den. Kenz hasnt talked to anyone since the whole Abby thing. "Dont worry Kenz, shes dumb" Nia told her while hugging her. "Its not Abbys fault..."she whispered. "What do you mean? Whos fault is it?" Kalani asked. She turned to look at me, her face red. "HERS" she pointed right at me. "Kenz I-I didnt-I was just trying to help!" I replied. "OF COURSE YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO HELP. IM SICK OF GETTING COMPARED TO YOU AND YELLED AT AND BULLIED BY LEXI AND HER FRIENDS. ITS NOT FAIR" she yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks. "You-You never told me you were bullied..." I was so hurt. My baby sister bullied by Lexi. She didnt answer. She just stood there frozen, before running out of the room. I looked at Kalani who was looking at her shoes. "Kalani...did she tell you?" i asked quietly. "She told me yesterday. I was gonna tell you...Im sorry" she said looking guilty. I didnt answer, I just ran after Kenzie. I walked by the bathroom where I heard crying. I walked in and saw Mackenzie sitting on the bathroom floor, weak and crying.  "Mackenzie..." I sat next to her. She didnt answer, just sat there with her head in her hands. "Mackenzie please.." I said once more. "Im sorry..." she whispered. I hated seeing my sister like this. "Mackenzie, I love you. Tell me next time." I replied. "Maddie...they said you-you h-hate mm-me" she said in bettween sobs. I couldnt take this anymore. "Who Kenzie. Who!" I said getting angry at the person that said this to my sister. "Lexi" she said. I felt terrible. "Lets go. Moms waiting in the car". She nodded

We walked to the car together. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for Mackenzie.
