Her

Chapter 22

I fluttered my eyes open again an was back in my hospital bed.
"Where's lily" I asked trying to sit up. "Honey relax please you need to rest" my mom said. "Where's lily" I asked again. "Honey lilys dead" my dad said. "No she's not" I said. "What do you mean" my mom asked worried. I began to cry an sat back in my bed. "Mom. Dad" I said. They both looked at me with confusion an worry. "Lily never died" I said. "Honey yes she did we buried her remember" my mom said. I could see her an my dads tears. "She faked it" I chocked out. They didn't respond they both were just crying an looking at me. "She told me everything. She had found her father an wanted to be with him. She left because she felt like she didn't belong with us anymore. I struggled with never telling you guys an it ate me alive. That's why I needed the whole therapy thing to get her out of my life" I said. By now my parents were drowning in tears. "She never died she's always been alive" I finished. "How could you never tell us" my mom snapped. "She didn't want me to she would of hated me an you guys never wouldn't of let her leave I'm sorry" I said. "Where is she" my dad asked. "I don't know I blacked out after I saw her in the cafe" I said. At that moment she walked in the room. My parents turned towards her an stared at her. "Hey lily" I said. "Hi Madison" she said. She had a small smile but looked nervous. "Is it really you" my mom chocked out. "Yes" lily said. My parents both ran to her an hugged her. They all cried an I just sat there watching them. "Do they know" lily asked backing away from the hug and coming to me. "Now they do" I said. "I wouldn't of had the guts to explain. Thank you for doing it for me" she said holding my hand. "Are you staying" I asked. "Yeah" she said. Now Ethan an Grayson walked in with Ryleigh. "How are you- hey lily what are you doing here" Grayson said. My face dropped. "How do you know lily" I asked. "She's our friend we met her when we were like 14" Ethan said. "How do you know her" Grayson asked. "She's my- my sister" I said. There faces dropped as well. "You guys are sisters" Ethan asked coming next to me. "Well not blood" lily said looking down. "We adopted her when she was 11" my mom said. "How come I never knew tho" Ethan asked me. I looked down an didn't answer. "I left" lily spoke up. "I faked my death an I left to live with my dad" she said. I could see the guilt in her face an it broke me. "I made Madison lie to her parents her whole life for me an I regret it" she said. "It's not your fault" I said. "It is I made you lie to your own parents for me all you did was protect me an I broke you an left" she said. I squeezed Ethan's hand an he rubbed circles onto my knuckles. "But I came back to make things right" she finished. "I want to move back in with you guys until I have to go to college" she said. I looked up at my parents with hope. "Can she" I asked. "I don't know" my mom said. "Please" I begged. "Ok" she said. I let go of Ethan's hand an hugged lily. "Sisters forever" lily whispered in my ear. "Sisters forever" I whispered back.
