McKenna's POVLife sucks I kept telling myself gazing at my blue reflection in the mirror. I never thought my day would end like this. I had so much planned for today, tomorrow and the day after. A few hours ago, I would have sworn my life was almost perfect and in the nick of time, it all went down hill.My eyes continued wandering at my glum physique as I balanced myself on the sink trying to calm the ache in my chest but it wasn't working as sobs racked my tiny form one after the other, the white tiles taunting me of my now empty existence. I felt stuffed. I've always felt this way and today was no different. The events of today were only adding to my never ending heartache.As much as I tried to shut out the pain, the stench of bleach effectively kept bringing it back. I hated the smell of hospitals. It reminded me of death. How doctors and nurses cope is sti

Dedicated to everyoneMcKenna's POVIt's been a couple of hours after Ash's funeral. I cried so hard I fainted. The pain got into my head and I got dizzy. Dad was a quick learner who worked at a colossal hospital in our town so it wasn't hard to revive me as he was the only one in attendance aside me.As expected, no one showed up. Not even Ash's parents. I had called them also last night but they were too drunk to comprehend what I had said and there's the fact that they also didn't care seeing as she ran away when she had the chance but being a good girl, she sometimes visited them and gave them cash,

 McKenna's POVIts been weeks since I sent my applications to different pharmaceutical companies and none had replied yet. I may have graduated with honors but I know there are others out there much better than me and they probably got the job. I checked my computer every morning but all I find is never ending disappointment.I've been running low on money lately and I don't want to call dad as he'll think I'm suffering and would try to get me to go back home but I don't have much of a choice. I needed the money badly. And it's not like I knew anyone here to lend me some money. I just got to know Avery and I don't think it's proper to start asking for some money. She might get the wrong impression of me.Nolan was fast asleep on the tiny couch. He had little drool oozing from the side of his mouth. He hasn't learnt to control it yet and haven't had enough money to buy him a crib. I left

 Mckenna's POVInfuriating bastardDamn himI can't believe the likes of him. He just stood and watched me get robbed. He had some nerve to joke about it whilst I was scared half to death. I was so worried as I left Nolan with a Avery and there he was adding to it. My first day couldn't have gone any worse.In ten minutes I was home with my baby Nolan. Avery was a little upset I got late as I took part of her chilling time with her friends but with a little puppy dog eyes, all was forgotten. He cried less today when I was leaving for work and I don't know if I should be happy about it. He's getting use to not being around me now and it makes my heart ache.He's almost a month old and I couldn't be happier. I just wish Ash could see this. I try to call Dad as often as I can but I'm not sure I'll be
