Emilia

The continuous "beep" of the machines was stuck in my head.

Life can change, in a matter of seconds the happiest day of my life turned into the tragedy of a lifetime. My little sister, my best friend, the one I was supposed to take care of was now lying in bed, barely alive.

"Hi, niña" I whispered seating next to the cold hospital bed

But she never answered back, the tube stuck in her throat the cables connected to her chest, and the motherfucking "beep". It was all too much. We had gradually recovered our daily routine, dad was working nonstop in a lot of projects, mom was skinnier and the dark circles under her eyes demonstrated she actually cared about Valentina.

"Things are the same as yesterday" I said looking at her, almost consumed "Carlos and I moved closer to the hospital, he has been so supportive"

Nothing

"He found out about Lucía and you, it was kind of obvious. She was crying so hard and they had to proceed with a c section so you have a six month old ahijada" (Goddaughter)

I wish she could at least move a finger, or a toe. But nothing ever changes, she's just there, breathing, not by her own, she can't even breath without assistance. And just hurts to see my little sister stuck here, with such a brilliant mind and the future she had.

Six months, she has being here six months, 183 days, 4392 hours. I know that, I've counted them.

"Ricardo left Lucía 3 months ago" I started again "He said her past would haunt him forever and that he couldn't just wrap his head around the idea of Lucía being in love with a woman"

Asshole, he was such an asshole. There were no other words to describe that son of a bitch.

"She loves you dearly, but I know she was one of the reasons you left. She also told me about Pablo and what the Gonzalez kid did to you" it hurt, knowing my little sister was in such pain and I didn't know, she always looked so strong and unbreakable.

"Miss De Rosa" one of the residents entered the room

"Good morning" I smiled "I was just doing my morning visit, I'll comeback in the afternoon"

"No problem miss, you can stay as long as you want. Dr. Henry will come in a few minutes; he wants to talk to you"

I nodded and she proceeded to check on Vale as they always did.

A few moments later Dr. Henry came to the room with a worried look in his face.

"Good morning Emilia" he greeted with a kiss on the cheek

"Good morning doctor" I said back

He looked uneasy and that made me feel uncomfortable

"I'm sorry to be the one to ask" he started and I immediately knew where this was going

"I won't sign those papers doctor" I stood up

"The chances that she recovers are very low, my dear" he looked sad

"But there are chances still" I said hopeful

"Yes" he exhaled

"I will hold to that doctor, I need that hope" my voice broke

"Have you talked to any of her friends back in there?" he asked making a movement with his head

"I talked to her girlfriend last night" I said casually
