So there where two girls name Mackenzie and Riley they where both in high school and would skip school once a week and that all added up.Riley did not have parents because they died in a car crash when going to the Bahama's on there honey moon and Mackenzie's mom was great friends with Riley's parents so she let Riley move in with her because she knows that they are best friends so she was just trying to be a good mother and so when she got their report card she was so happy and proud of them but when she saw that big number on the right side of the page and it was the number of absents and both of the girls had the same number of absents they told the mother that they have not been absent because her mom would drop them off but......little did her mom know they would stand at the door of the high school to make sure she left and would leave after the mothers conversation with the two girls the girls had a talk and Mackenzie wanted to tell the truth before it got out of hand because when her mom was talking to them she said she was gonna go up to the school and go over it with the principle.She went to the principle of the school and asked about it and she thought that he was being racist because he was white and the two girls and the mom was black she started going off on him and got the girls almost suspended the girls finally discussed and they finally agreed to the truth which got them into so much trouble and the mother had to apologized to the principle and the girls got suspended and got in so much trouble but they had to learn there lesson when they got back from the suspension they agreed to go to school and not skip but the mom was not believing them so she went to school everyday and made sure that they were in school she would sit out side of the school and would see if they would come out but they were sticking to there agreement and did not leave the building of the school it was almost the end of the school year and for the end of the school year they give gifts but the girls forgot there gift for the people they got so they left school and went to the store down the street of the school but this time her mom was not out side so they did not have to sneak out of the school they found out that Mackenzie's mother passed away from cancer......No one knew that she had cancer and they found out she had cancer because of her step dad who picked them up and told them what happened after he took her to the hospital and found out she was dying but they told her all the things then they tested Mackenzie's blood to see if she has cancer and when they got the news it was shocking. The test result shows that Mackenzie has cancer so the bad thing is that her hair was falling out but she did not tell anyone because she thought it was what she was doing which was putting products in her hair all the time but she was so sad.Meanwhile Riley comforted her and made sure she was not stressed and made sure was okay and that she was happy and not sad because it can get worse and she was so sad but i had to make her feel okay .After a week has gone by the step dad decided to leave them a note and leave he left them a car and money so they can pay for the rent of the house the note says ..........
I Believe You
By: Hannah Cairns
I messed up and I still don't know why I did it in the first place. She didn't deserve what she got. Alisa was a good person, and I am not. I am a horrible person who deserves ten times worse than what she's going through.
I look at her in that bed with that tube down her throat and I want to die. I wish that I was in that bed instead of her. There aren't many people in this world like her, she was caring and wanted to make an impact in this world.
?Im sorry Alisa.?
Two weeks ago?
?Hey Alora,? my best friend Brea said while walking into my bedroom.
?Hey,? I said while blowing out smoke and putting my cigarette out.
?We got invited to a party at Levis house.?
?When?? I was a little shocked because Levi hated us.
?For tonight. Do you want to go??
?Sure, but why is Levi inviting us??
?Well he didn't, his friend did. Plus so many people will be there he probably won't even notice us.?
?Okay.?
Me and Brea have been going to so many parties lately that I don't even know what day of the week it is right now. I was never really into the party scene until I met Brea.
?Let's get ready.?
Later that night?
When I walked in I could tell that Brea wasn't kidding, there are like a million people here. It smells like weed, tabaco, and puke. Brea walked straight in like she owned the place. I was the opposite, I'm the type to be in the corner of a party smoking by myself, I know, depressing.
I go over to the pot heads and start smoking. As I watched Brea flirting with a hundred different guys, someone came through the door. Most people were too busy smoking, drinking, and kissing to notice. But me, Brea, and a few of our friends noticed and were surprised, it was Alisa.
Alisa went straight up to Brea and slapped her. I was too shocked to do anything at that moment. Alisa wasn't the type to fight back. I say fight back because Brea, I, and a few other girls have been treating her like crap for years. And she has never fought back.
Brea was as shocked as I was and just looked at her for a second, then they just started fighting. I got up but I was so high I could barely walk in a straight line. Half the people in this room noticed, and the other half were too busy partying. Me and Brea were the type that would do anything for eachother. I got into the fight and started hitting Alisa. I finally stopped, then she got up and ran.
When I got up I realized that I was bleeding all over my clothes. I was confused because of how much I was bleeding, then I realized that she cut me with a knife and everything was blurry after that.
Next day?
I opened my eyes and I had a huge headache. I turned my head and saw Brea and my mom. Immediately I could tell that I was in a hospital. My mom looked like she was going to cry but also punch me.
?What happened,? I said in a whisper.
?I'm going to find something to eat,? my mom said as she walked out of the room.
?Alora, Alisa cut you and you lost a lot of blood. They weren't sure when you would wake up but the doctors said that you should be fine.?
I wasn't sure on how to respond. I just felt so tired that I just fell back asleep.
A few days later?
I finally got to go home. Brea spent every night with me in the hospital and she spent the night at my house last night too. I woke up while Brea was still sleeping, I just stared at the ceiling and thought. I was so pissed off at Alisa for doing that to me. All I felt was rage.
Brea woke up and saw my face and could tell that I was pissed.
?Are you okay??
?I'm pissed at Alisa.?
?Me too, but I think I know how to get back at her.?
?How??
She didn't answer. She just got up and started getting dressed.
?Ready for school??
I got up and got dressed with her. Then we headed downstairs. My mom just looked at us. I could tell that she still didn't know what to say or ask. I can tell how disappointed in me she is. She hates the people I hang around and how much I smoke, but she knows that there is nothing she can do to stop me.
I live pretty close to school so we just walk there. When we get there I see some of our friends. Brea and them seem like they are hiding something from me. They are all weirdly silent. Then the bell rang and we all went to class. I was just praying that I didn't run into Alisa because I felt so mad that I would have tackled her. Next thing you know it was lunch. I went to the cafeteria and I didn't see Brea or any of the others. So I went around to try to find them, but I couldn't find them anywhere. Then I stopped in the bathroom. I was about to go into a stall but I heard someone crying in the corner of the bathroom, it was Alisa.
She looked like she got the hell beat out of her and I immediately knew who did it. I was mad but I didn't think I was this mad. She looked like she was about to die. I didn't want her to die. I was going to get someone but then I thought that everyone would believe that I did this. It would make sense in everyone's head. She didn't say anything to me, she just looked at me with her broken eyes.
?You fell down the stairs, no one did this to you,? I said to her.
She was so scared and broken that all she did was nod.
I left the bathroom feeling afraid. For her and me. I decided I would skip the rest of school. Brea kept calling but I couldn't answer. I just went to the alley where I usually smoke. I didn't smoke, I just sat there lost in my thoughts. Then I tried to figure out when this whole war started between us and Alisa. We used to be friends until I met Brea and one day she just turned on her. Brea liked her one day then totally froze her out the next.
I never really questioned it, I'm not sure on why, but now I am. I started getting mad again but this time at Brea. I decided to straight up ask her. I could hear the bell that meant school was out so I went to find Brea.
?Hey, where have you been Alora?? she asked.
?Why do you hate Alisa??
?What??
?We all used to be friends, why did you cut her out and start bullying her??
She looked at me for a second, she looked mad, ?I am not the only one that bullied her, don't act so innocent.?
I know that she was right, I'm in no way innocent.
?Why do you hate her, Brea.?
?Why do you??
When she said that I felt awful. Why did I hate her? Just because Brea did? Am I really that shallow.
I just turned around and decided to talk to Alisa. When I turned around I saw her being loaded into an ambulance. I decided to walk to the hospital, it took a while but I made it.
?Hi, is Alisa Lee here?? I asked the front desk at the hospital.
?Room twenty two,? she said, not even looking up.
It took a minute but I found the room. It didn't look like anyone was in there, so I walked in. She looked so broken. When she saw me she looked terrified.
?I told them I fell,? she said with a terrified voice.
?That's not what i'm here for.?
?Then why? Want to have your turn.?
?Why does Brea hate you??
She looked at me with a shocked look. Like she was so happy that I finally asked her that question.
?Why??
?I never asked,? I said while sitting down on the bed near her feet.
She looked like she wanted to answer but couldn't find the words.
?I used to love Brea, more than a friend. And when I told her, we had sex, then the next day she hated my guts and got everyone to turn against me.?
I was shocked when I heard that. I never looked at Brea like that. I wasn't sure what to say. So we just sat there for what felt like an eternity.
?You don't believe me?? the words were a question, but it came out like a statement.
I couldn't answer so I just left. Did I really spend years bullying someone only because they loved someone?
Truth?
Days passed. I stayed home from school and didn't answer Brea. Then she finally decided to come over.
?Get out,? I said right when she walked through my door.
?What is your problem??
?Have we spent years bullying someone just because you're too afraid to admit that you're gay??
?I said while I stood up and got in her face.?
?Oh, who told you that?? she said in a sarcastic tone.
?Give me a reason then. Give me a reason on why you turned on her.?
?Because she's a bitch!?
?That's not good enough! No one deserves to go through what we put her through! I don't even understand why I stood by you for all of these years! Get out!?
I could tell that she wasn't sure what to say, so she just stomped out pissed off. I decided to go to school today, I decided I would talk to Brea again. I heard she went back to school a few days ago.
When I got to school I was being stared at and I could tell why. They think I did this to Alisa. It makes sense why they think that, I would think the same thing. When I walked in I planned to go find her, but before I could a teacher stopped me and brought me to the principal's office.
?Hello Alora,? she said while walking in.
?Hi.?
?So, there have been rumors going around about you and Alisa.?
?I know.?
?Did she put you in the hospital??
?No,? I said straight away. I deserve to be in trouble, not her.
?Did you put her in the hospital the first time??
?Wait, what do you mean the first time??
?She was admitted to the hospital this morning for attempted suicide.?
I couldn't say anything. I sat there for a second then bulleted out. I ran as fast as humanly possible to the hospital.
There was no one at the front desk so I just went in looking everywhere for her. Then I saw her on a bed being rolled into a room. I followed and asked the doctor what happened. I was surprised that he even told me, I thought doctors weren't allowed to give out information unless you're family.
?She took a lot of pills. We aren't sure if she is going to wake up,? he said then just left the room.
I saw her lying there with the tube breathing for her. I sat on the bed and just looked at her. I just kept thinking that she didn't deserve this. I sat there just looking at her for at least an hour. Then I got up and said?
?I believe you,? when I said that her eyes opened.
I'm sorry that i have to leave but i can not deal with all of this i know you are going through a tough time but i left you guys a car to get around and i also am gonna be paying the rent when it is due so you don't have to worry about it good luck .sincerely your stepdad . The girls had a talked about everything and decided that they where gonna stay with friends for a few days and come back but they made plans that they were gonna hang out because of the cancer situation so Riley was a little upset with her because they had already made plans so she told her that they can do things during the day and at night they will stay at friends for now and after Mackenzie gets a random phone she does not answer so they leave her a voice mail and when she listens to it she starts crying and says its her dad he heard about the accident with her mom and was just trying to be their for her and at least try to be a good father after he gets loser with her and tells her the truth of why he never was around after her birth and says that her mother told him after the birth he was not able to the baby because she did not think he was ready so she just told him that it was not a good idea to be around and Mackenzie told it was fine she just needs him to be their for her so she and her dad went places to hang out and eat and talked about how she was growing up and she told him the bad news that she got from the hospital which was that she also has cancer does not know how long she will make it but he said that she does not have to worry about it because he will try to pay to get treatments done and buy things for her to get better and he says just in case they will do different fun things everyday until that time and try to bring along her best friend Riley to have fun and spend time with them
