The Unexpected Angel (Sequel to Be My Mistake)

I'm going home

Please don’t eat me, but I can’t fix this… You shall see… I’m sorry.

3 Months later

Siana’s P.O.V.

Hunter’s arms wrap around my torso and hold me close, and I hear him inhale deeply, as if taking in my scent. “I love you.”

A small smile etches across my lips, and I do the same, letting his sweet scent fill my senses. “I love you more.” I whispered.

“No you don’t.”

“Yes, I do.”

His chest vibrates with laughter. “Trust me Siana; you can’t love me more than I love you.” He says with a smirk in his voice.

“You’re annoying.” I frown.

He kisses the side of my head, letting his lips linger there. “You love me.”

Now it was my turn to start laughing. “We’ve already established that.”

“Oh,” he mumbles, but soon starts laughing with me. “Yeah.”

It was moments like these that I had missed. With Hunter’s new tour starting up, and Alana becoming a bit more of a hassle, it seemed that we had been drifting apart, just slightly. Not that I loved him any less than before, just that things were changing for us, and for his career.

“Go get Caroline; I’ll have lunch ready when you get back.” He says, motioning for me to leave.

“Alright.” I sighed, pulling away from his hold. “Don’t burn the house down.” I joke.

With how well everything was going for her treatments, it was for sure she was going home. This time it was really happening, since there was now a specialist in Louisiana for her. Mom and Tom were more than overjoyed, and I couldn’t hold back the smile that crept its way onto my lips.

I get to St. Judes in record timing, meaning I probably sped through Nashville subconsciously, in a sort of bliss from how smooth everything was going. Everything was completely calm in the children’s hospital, which was odd, since now was usually the time when all the parents went to visit their sickly children. I walked through the halls casually, hands in the pockets of my skinny jeans. Rarely would I see a nurse or doctor walk by me, but not in a rush. My converse squeaked with every step I take forward, and I watch as my shoe laces brush against the tiled floor beneath my feet.

The big green eyes that didn’t quite fit the head of my baby sister were staring back at me as I stride into her room. She smiles at me, pulling away the thin sheet that covered her body.

“Hey Anna!” She says excitedly.

“Hey!” I smile, leaning against the doorway. “Are you ready to go?”

“For sure!” She says, letting her dangling feet slide to the floor.

I watch as she runs around her room, gathering all her things for the last time. She seemed excited, and the thought alone made me smile. The care here was amazing, but she didn’t like it here. The treatments, the food, the solitude. It wasn’t what she wanted forever. It was time to go home.

I see Caroline stop in her tracks, pressing a hand against her chest. She blinks quickly, eyebrows furrowed together.

“Ro, you ok?” I asked, walking closer.

She nods her head, standing up a bit taller. “I’m fine.” She says.

I stop, but keep my eyes on her. She still stands tall, just before she starts coughing violently, and her body crumbles to the floor.
