Cybered •MFZ [COMPLETED]

Chapter 8

Mackenzie's POV

I went home with Maddie. We had a few hours until dance so we had the time to hang out.

"Kenz, I'm sorry about lunch" Maddie apologized.

"It's fine" I mumble.

I sit down on the couch and play with my fingers. Maddie walks over and sits next to me, wrapping her arm around me and kissed my cheek.

"I'm here for you Mackenzie" she says.

I looked up at her and she gives me a small smile.

"I'm guessing Chloe and Nia said something" I say.

She nodded, "only that there's something serious going on, and that you wanted to tell me yourself" she explained.

I nodded.

"It's not the time Maddie, I already told two people I didn't want to tell. Just give me time. Please" I say.

"Okay. I won't force it out of you" she says.

"Thank you."

She smiled and turned on the tv. She put on a movie for awhile then we had to go get ready.

"C'mon Kenzie lets go!" Maddie shouts from the bottom of the stairs.

"Coming!" I shout.

I run downstairs in my ALDC hoodie, and leggings. I especially have to cover myself more now since I'm super skinny.

We get into the car and Maddie drives us to the studio. When she pulls up everyone's outside talking.

"Hey Ziegler's" they greet.

"How's everything going Kenzie?" Christi asked.

"Fine."

"Are you doing better from last night?" Holly asked.

I nodded.

"Moms, Girls! Come on!" Abby shouted.

We all go into the studio and follow Abby to studio A. We do our usual lines and go through pyramid.

"Mackenzie, back at it with the long sleeves again?" Abby questioned.

I nodded looking down at the ground.

"I'd like to talk to you and your mother after rehearsal" Abby said.

I nodded and closed my eyes.

There's three solos, Maddie, Brooke and Kendall. There's a group number as well and a duet which is Chloe and Paige.

Abby teaches us the group number and eventually she moves on to the solos.

"Mackenzie, I'd like to speak with you" Abby said as I go to leave.

I nodded and walked back to her. Mom walked in too and now is the time we have to talk.

"Mackenzie, what's going on?" Abby asked.

"Nothing."

"It's not nothing Mackenzie! After the stunt you pulled yesterday everyone would like a reason why you pulled that and why you've been off lately Kenzie. I got a call from your guidance counselor, we have a parent teacher meeting with all your teachers tomorrow" Mom lectured.

"Mom, you wouldn't understand" I muttered.

"What won't I understand Kenz?" Mom asked.

I hesitate for a moment. I look at the two of them. Tears are now blurring my vision. I let them fall.

"What's going on Mackenzie?" Abby asked.

"I'm getting hate, and I'm being bullied" I admit.

"Mackenzie, why didn't you tell us sooner?" Abby asked.

I shrugged.

"What do they say?" Mom asked.

"They tell me to kill myself, that I'm fat, worthless and a lot of stuff" I say.

"Oh sweetie" Mom said hugging me.

The door opened and then closed after some time.

"Is everything okay in here?" Kelly asked.

We turn to see all the moms, Gianna and the girls standing there.

I wipe my eyes and nodded.

"Uh, yes. Things are okay, just dealing with something important" Abby said.

"You told them?" Chloe asked.

I nodded.

"Told them what?" Brynn asked.

"Girls don't worr-" Abby started.

"Just tell them" I interrupted.

"Are you sure?" Mom asked.

"They've been asking me anyways. They'll find out some time" I say.

"What's going on?" Brooke asked.

I look down and bite my tongue.

"I'm being bullied and cyber bullied" I admit.

It's quiet. I let a tear fall and don't bother wiping it.

"Mackenzie... you could've told us sooner" Paige said.

"I didn't want to. I didn't know what to do" I admit.

The girls come over and hug me.

"I'm sorry" I cried.

"Don't be sorry" Maddie said rubbing my back.

"Kenzie have you done anything?" Holly asked.

I nodded wiping my tears.

"What have you done?" Mom asked.

"I stopped eating."

"Anything else?" Gianna asked.

"When I eat I throw it up" I added.

"Anything else?" Ashlee asked.

I looked down and bit my lip, nodding.

"What is it?" Brynn asked.

I don't say anything. Hesitantly I roll my sleeve up. I show them the cuts. All of them.

All they do is gasp.

"Mackenzie! Please stop" Maddie said.

"It's not simple Madz" I mumbled.

"Melissa go get her help, you can take her out for a few weeks if you need to" Abby said.

"Okay thank you Abby. Mackenzie, lets go I'm taking you home" Mom says.

She grabs my hand pulling me out of there. I didn't make much effort to actually move. She grabs my things and takes me out to her car. I sit in the front seat and she sits in the drivers seat.

She doesn't start the car. She sits there. Looking out the window.

After a few minutes she turns to me and places her hand on my thigh.

"Sweetie, I'm so sorry I didn't notice sooner" she apologizes.

"It's okay Mom" I say.

"No it's not. My baby girl is hurting herself and has been bullied and I didn't notice" she says.

She started crying. It made me feel bad. I go and hug her.

"I promise it'll get better Mackenzie" she tells me.

I hope she's right.
