My Sister Bot

My sister and I were best friends. I was younger at age 13 and my sister was 14, but she acted way younger. We bonded with everything especially science. We got in so much trouble because of it. Like the time we lost our lab rats and found it in mom's purse while she was wearing her purse. It crawled up her arms and she fainted.

"Ashley," Lucy yelled. "I need a pen to fill out my application."

"Application for what?"

Lucy said "For the Mayor's internship."

Lucy wanted this internship more than anything. She has to write an essay and the 2 the mayor likes the best has to write and present a speech. If she gets it, it could get her into any college.

"Oh yeah." I said.

When we were all asleep I heard a twig snap outside. I looked out the window and I was so sure I saw the shed's lights flash. I went to the shed to see what happened. It was silent in there, which meant I was probably dreaming. Then I left the shed to go back to bed.

But then the fun ended in the hospital where my sister Lucy was found with a sickness the doctors never seen before. It was almost like there was poison in her body. I remember the endless nights of her screaming. And me screaming at her.

"You are gonna make it, Lucy." I yelled. "Don't give up, never give up!"

And how my mom said "She needs some sleep, and you need some too, Ashley."

After a week though my mom said I needed to get out. So she took me to the hardware store where I got parts to build the robot with Lucy.

But when we got back dad had bad news.

"Lucy's kidney and liver is failing." He said with a shaky voice. "The doctors don't think she is gonna make it." And that's when I fainted. When I woke up a few days because I haven't slept in a while. later I heard silence. My mom and dad were holding Lucy's hand saying good-bye. I was next. "I love and will always love you. Good-bye." And the weird machine stopped beeping and my mom said come on honey. When I was leaving I heard a whisper.

"Finish that robot, for me." Lucy said and that's all she said. A tear rolled down my cheek watching my sister try to reach me, but failed and that was the end. She froze and when I went to touch her cheek, it was cold. Dead.
