Authors Note: Hi, this is like my fourth story and so I'm used to people not liking them. This story is a crossover between my favorite book series, From the Files of Madison Finn and my a story that I made up. The characters Madison, Ivy Daly, Rose Thorn, and Phony Joanie came from the book series, and the town of Far Hills. Please read and review ASAP.
P.S. My beta-reader is Dejichan4444. And my chapters are short, please do not comment on that.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for what I made up.
Chapter One-
Crushed with Pain
I walked downstairs because my best friend Madison was there. Madison and I had been friends since she moved here at the end of kindergarten. But this time we had to say good-bye, because she was moving back to Far Hills, her hometown.
"I'm sorry," Madison said trying to hold back tears. She hugged me and we walked outside. "Mom says that moving back will help her because she needs to do a TV show there permanently, so she won't have to drive an hour every day to go to work." Madison's mother worked as a producer of documentaries, at Budge Films.
"I'll e-mail as I arrive in Far Hills." Madison reassured me, "Promise." I hugged Madison one more time and then her mother came up to my front door and waved.
"Bye." I said teary-eyed. I watched Madison walk out the door to her mother's car. I watched the car drive down my street until it turned and it was lost from my site. Although Madison was my best friend I knew that I would get over her moving.
I heard the phone ring, I ran to my room but didn't answer it. I listened for the message, then I heard a voice, "Hi Jem," I heard somebody say, "It's Athena, I just wanted to talk, Madison was just over like ten minutes ago." Athena was my other best friend, I know what you thinking--what kind of name is Athena? Well I'll tell you: Athena's father is single and is a historian, her mother died right after Athena was born so it was up to Athena's father to name her. Since he was studying Greek mythology at the time he named her after his favorite goddess, Athena.
I picked up the phone after a second, "Hi." I said miserably.
"Jem! I thought that you would never pick up. I already miss Madison." Athena said. I laughed.
"She left a couple of minutes ago, we constantly spend this amount of time apart." I said.
"Yeah, but, Jem are you sad about this?" Athena said.
"Yeah Athena, but you have to realize that this will be easier on Madison too. Now she can spend more time with Mr. Finn, not just summer, so she will spend weekends and a month every summer with him." I explained to Athena. Athena let out a sob.
"But she won't spend the school year with us Jem!" She said trying to hold back tears. I sighed, when Athena was upset, she was impossible to calm down. We talked for about twenty more minutes until Athena said that she had to go. We hung up the phone and I went over to the computer.
I checked online. Athena wasn't on. Madison wasn't on. And then I realized what I hadn't realized before--we were all crushed with pain.
