Pearl POV
We got in hospital in time, and I just hate being here this place gives me creeps but I gotta stay strong for my sister. The doctor said Mo doesn't have much time left so next week after she gains little strength we gonna go back home with her so we can be with her on her last moments. I've been crying since I heard the news I don't know why because I thought I was used to it by now but I guess I was wrong again.
Me: Aunty have you tried calling Anne, coz she needs to know how bad things and if she decides not to come it will be on her, I would call her but you know she won't answer🙁
Lydia: It didn't cross my mind, okay let me call her ( she takes her cellphone and presses it then put it on her ear. Her facial expression changes to anger after a minute she hangs up and goes back to Pearl fuming)
Lydia: I seriously don't get your sister, she has all the money when it comes to partying but when she has to come home to serious things then cents are not there!
Me: aii I knew it, who does she expect to get the money from? Me ?, she must forget it😤I'm the last born here not the way around.
And the doctor said when will be able to see Mo cause I'm tired of sitting here doing nothing and this place makes my skin crawl😬.
Aunty just stares at me
Lydia: stop being dramatic and the doctor said he will notif.....
( before she could finish those words Dr Martin makes his way to us in a hurry, and tells us that we can now go see my sister. I must say this doctor is good looking, he has that Adam Levine appearance I'm a black woman and never dated out of my race but I wouldn't mind dating him🤤) I'm taken out of my thoughts by my aunt's hand.
Lydia: I wonder where your mind is, let's go see your sister so we can go back home, my back hurts now.

Pearls POV
We enter Mo's room, all I can see is the pipes my sister is connected on, my heart breaks I never we will be here because of her but I have to be strong for her.
I make my way to her and I hold her and she opens her eyes and smiles, gosh even in this state she hasn't lost her beautiful smile.
Me: please don't scare me like that again, I love you so much ( I thought I was gonna be able to hold them but seeing her makes me weak, a tear makes it way down my cheek)
Mo: hey babe, sorry and promise to be strong for me I don't want to see you cry cause it breaks my heart( as she wipes that one tear that was able to escape my eye)
Lydia: Monica the doctor said you gonna come back home next week after they help you to get your strength back, my child God will protect you just dont forget to pray and ask him for strength, it pains me to you going through the same thing your mother went through 😔
Me: I wish I can sleep here with you tonight 😔
Mo: Aunty thank you so much for supporting me and my sister, I was hoping to wake and see Anne🙁
Lydia: I did call her but you know your sister with her excuses, I'm seriously disappointed.
Mo: it's fine aunty we can't expect a zebra to change its stripes, I honestly thought she was gonna step up and be a big sister to Pearl since I'm sick but it doesn't matter anymore.
Pearl POV
I won't forgive Anne for this, cause she knows how fragile Mo is, and even after we told her how critical the situation has been but still, at this moment I don't want to see her even if Mo dies she better stay where she is and not come to the funeral.
Me: aunty we need to go and Mo needs to sleep. Big sis please take care of yourself I'm gonna come everyday to visit you ( I say as I kiss her forehead) .
Lydia: be well my child, we will come see you tomorrow and don't think too much.
Mo: thank you again aunty, and Pearl please focus on your school I really want to see you graduating and always be on your best behavior😘.
Me: Always, see you tomorrow ( this is hard I won't lie, I just want to be by her side always)

Pearl POV
As we got home I made my to Monica's room to tidy it up, and I take the oats until dished earlier for to the kitchen bin, and I take my night bath and prepared for bed but sleeping I set an alarm for 3am so I can wake up and study.
I went to the kitchen to say goodmite to my aunt.
Me: aunty goodnite, I need to get up early tomorrow so I can study .
Lydia: ok baby, sleep tight and stop stressing about your sister and try to focus on your studies, I'm here to take your burdens as a mother please let me ( she says as she hugs me)
Me: I'm grateful to God for you, I love you so much, goodnite (as I break from the hug) .
