task 277

The year had not ended as Mackenzie had predicted. Her sister had left town and the redhead had gotten engaged to the love of her life. On one hand, she was ecstatic. She couldn’t wait to marry Avery and although she had never planned on settling down with someone before, Avery was different. She was the person that Mackenzie wanted to spend the rest of her life with, but on the other hand, her sister was gone and Mackenzie really wasn’t coping with it. She was the only family that Kenzie had left if you didn’t count her mother and grandparents, and most of the time, Mackenzie didn’t. The redhead had told her sister that she supported her completely and she did, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t miss her older sister or that her heart wasn’t slightly broken over the departure. She just hoped that her sister would come home soon and that McKayla would walk her down the aisle; she couldn’t get married without her sister by her side, that just wasn’t an option. 

Pulling out her phone, she unlocked it and scrolled down to her sister’s name. She’d already tried to call her sister half a dozen times, wanting to share the news with her older sister that she had proposed to Avery, but she still hadn’t heard back. She knew her sister must have been busy, but it was very unlike McKayla not to call back and Mackenzie was started to get worried. She told herself not to, but she really couldn’t help it. It was her sister and she hadn’t heard anything from her. Biting down on the corner of her mouth, the redhead decided to give her sister one last call and if she didn’t answer, she’d send her a message and maybe even go out to New York to visit. Maybe there was something wrong with McKayla’s phone and she hadn’t been getting any of Mackenzie’s messages, or maybe there was something more sinister at play. It was as if her sister had just decided to vanish into thin air, but after all, they had been through, she couldn’t believe that her sister would ever do that.
