My Name is Trauma

The next morning, I went downstairs to find Ceri still sleep on the couch.Not wanting to wake her up I went back upstairs.Everyone was inside the house sleep.I was always an early riser.The large window in my siblings and I bedroom gave a large view of the City Centers moniter. Current events and time plus weather were all shown on this the City Centers moniter.According to the moniter it was 7:32 AM.3 lines of people stood outside the City Center.

"Mali?" someone said.

"Whats wrong?" I said as I turned around to look at the unknown voice.

"I feel sick." Sinja said.Before I had a chance to respond she vomited all over the floor.

"Oh god." I said totally digusted.I walked over towards Aki and shook him awake.

"What?" he said with sleepy eyes.

"Sinja is sick." I replied.

The next 3 hous were full of cleaning,medicine and checking to see if anyone else was sick.

"Go check Ceri downstairs." Aki told me.

As I walked back downstairs I shook Ceri to wake her up. But she didnt wake.I used every method possible to wake her. 

"Aki!" I screamed with panic.

Aki ran downstairs. I dont remeber much after that. Except , I was screaming , Bae exploded and my Mother was no where to be seen.We had to carry Ceri to the City Center Medical Department. Turns out Ceri was infection with a radiation diease only transfered through chemical misuse. I figured ou that she was infected with one of the chemicals in the outskirts.The Centers aid said it was highly unlikely for anyone over the age of 12 to get this infection. Lucky me.

The hours seemed to drag on as we waited for results on whether she would live or not. Sinja and Zakye and I had to get tested for it. None of us had it but Ceri.

I felt blank.Invisible.Empty.Everything was gone.I felt like there was nothing I could do to help Ceri.My anger and sadness increased when the doctor told us Ceri had only a few weeks till the infection took its turn.I sat for days in the same spot in the corner of my house.I didnt eat or sleep. Neither did Bae. It was worse for Bae. Ceri and Bae were as close as I was to Ceri. Plus that was his twin. An complete copy of him.

My brain told me that this was not possible. My body said otherwise. Sun had to force me to do anything.

This is my trauma.This is my life.
