𝑪𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆
We're sitting around the dining table laughing at my dad stale jokes. I notice aria has been missing for a while.
"Where's aria?"
The smiles on there faces slowly disappears and sadness takes over
My mother grabs my hand in hers
"Aria's sick baby" I see her lower lip tremble
"What do you mean sick? What's wrong with her?"
"She has Lung Cancer"
What
"H-how long does she have left?"
"About one year"
Looking at my father tears streaming down my face
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier? We could of be spending more time with each other" slowing getting up I head for her room
...................................................................................
*You Can Play The Sound*
Entering her room, she's sitting down with her back faced to me
Watching the night sky, humming away
Moving to her, I kneel in front of her, wrapping my arms around her waist
"I'm sorry I should have been here sooner, if I'd known" I cry into her chest
With shaky hands she hugs me back
"They told you huh?" she sounds so tired
"Y-yeah they did, when did you find out?"
"About two years ago, I h-had trouble breathing, I was in the middle of my race and collapsed. I was rushed to the hospital where they told me I had Stage 3 Lung Cancer I've been doing Chemo Therapy since. I lost myself. My hair, my will to live"
Leaning away I look at her, she has a scarf wrapped around her head. Pale skin, skinny, her eyes red and filled with tears
With shaky movements she moves to kneel in front of me
Pulling me into a tight hug, crying into my neck
"Hey it'll be okay, you can fight this, we'll get through this together okay"
Leaning back on the wall, bringing her closer to me
"No, I-It won't, I just found out a couple weeks ago that it got worst, it progressed to stage 4 and I don't have much time left"
No, no, no this can't be happening
"W-what? how long do you have left?"
Sniffing "6-8 months and I haven't even told mom and dad"
Nooo please nooo
"Why?"
"They've been so happy that the chemo was working, they've been sad every day, even when I was a little kid, they kept mistaking me for you sometimes and dad was hardly around too. As I got older, I did everything they asked of me I wanted to see my parents happy you know and that worked for some years, I was healthy, never smoked, never did drugs, got good grades. I did everything right and now I'm being punished with this disease. When they found out that I had cancer, they just fell back into that pit of sadness, they just switched.
Honestly, I'm so s-so tired. I-I can't do this anymore C-Cadence. I'm only 18, I've never had a boyfriend, never went on a date, there's a lot of things I want to experience b-but I-I can't. I'm in pain every day, the things I use to love doing doesn't interest me anymore, I lost the will to live and I know mom and dad want me to fight, b-but I can't, I-I don't think I have it in me anymore."
She's crying into my chest , her grip on my shirt tightens
I can't believe this is happening, I-I just found out I have a sister and now she's dying
That's not fair
"Y-you said you wanted to do somethings what are they, m-maybe I could help?"
"I-I've always wanted to go to a carnival and ride the Ferris wheel"
"Done, anything else?"
"Ok wow okay, uhm I've never been on a date before, mom and dad were so strict and now I don't have the strength to leave the house"
"Okay I could work with that, anything else?"
"I've always wanted to learn how to make strawberry tarts and carrot cake."
"Okay anything else?"
"There are some others but I don't think my lungs could handle it ."
Taking a Deep breath
"I'm really glad you're alive and here Cadence, I've been alone my entire life all I've been doing is making my parents proud and now looking back I never did the things I wanted to do.
I-I'm dying and I never got the chance to live the life I wanted t-to live and n-now I-I'll never have it."
Pulling her in tighter
"I'm sorry this is happening to you, but I'm here now and I'll make sure we do everything you ever wanted to do. I promise you as your big sister I will make these months the best months of your life Aria, if it's the last thing I do."
Raising up her pinkie finger "Pinkie Promise?"
Locking mines with hers "Pinkie Promise"
"I love you Cadence, even when we were younger"
She murmurs into my neck, her breathing evening out, she's asleep
Kissing her for head "I love you too Aria" I know it's been a day but I .. sigh it just feels right saying it. I mean dad talked a lot about her except for that she's sick , I felt like I know her even though I never meet her until now .
Looking at the moon
My thoughts running wild at all the things I could help her with. I'll make it my duty to make her happy.
Sister's for Life
