||•sisters laugh together, cry together•||

I drove Ferry to the hospital. I was worried about her all night. Ferry has always been forced to take a trip to the hospital, especially at that age, she doesn't like hospitals.This morning I didn't have to beg her. She just agreed and got in the car.

"Your sister grieve differently. That is normal. Nothing to worry about. I'll come check on you guys next week. Take care of each other."

She kept having these nightmares and waking up in middle of the night and walking around. At first I thought it was going to be over, but it kept continuing.

I thanked him and we left the hospital. "Do I have prolonged grief disorder?" She asked as soon as we reached the car.

"God no Fur. None of our family line has that." Thinking about it. I should've have asked Doctor Drew he would know. Ferry might have prolonged grief disorder. Our parents are professional at keeping secrets. I remember when MiMi passed away, it took months for Ferry to move on.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked her. She might of missed my question because she didn't answer. I know for a fact she's thinking about PGD.

"Remember when mum almost fought the midget woman? The woman that insulted our family." I distracted her from her thoughts. The both of us laughed uncontrollably.

"Mum took out her hoops dramatically and was like 'hold my hoops' but Pops held her back," Ferry continued the story. Mum had every right to fight the lady but the funny thing was her trying to fight a small woman. The woman was probably four feet eleven.

Laughing is a cure. Laughing makes you forget for a moment. We reminisced more about our parents crazy stories. We arrived home in less than five minutes. I threw myself on the couch and so did Ferry.

"Remember when dad woke up at nine pm? He kept saying 'wake up you guys are late for school' and mum smacked him on the head and said 'don't you see the pm mister' that was the funniest sh-t." Pops took a nap after school that day, must've been that good nap.

We laughed so hard that we cried. I whipped Ferry's tears and she did the same.

"I hate the fact that they lied to you....to us. You're always gonna be my sister. " I still don't get it. How can life be that full of surprises.

I will never understand why Mama and Pops hid this from me. I can understand hiding it from me when I was young but I was now at the age of understanding and to be lied to like that, is just pure disrespectful. They could've told me. It would've made a difference especially from them instead of a letter.

"I am your sister Snail. We're from the same mum. I honestly don't want to talk about this situation. Let me focus on you please."

I hugged her. I wanted this to be a one f-cked up nightmare so bad. Regardless of me closing my eyes for ten minutes, reality always hit me.

"Mum and dad called me before the accident. They were letting me know that they were on their way. I told them I was preparing dinner. They were supposed to come first. Then we would wait for you and Tee. I didn't tell them I love them. Why didn't I tell them I loved them so much Moochi. Instead I just hanged up the phone." She punched the couch.

I never knew that happened. I'm starting to think I'm rather selfish, no matter what, I seem to put myself first. I think about myself too much. If I didn't put myself first, maybe just maybe I would've made indelible memories with my parents and a stronger bond with my sister.

"Fur, look at me, nbody knows when somebody is going to die. Don't you think if we could predict the the future, maybe we can prevent death? It's not your fault, unplugging the machine too, you knew what you were doing. I'm sorry for not seeing it from your perspective. We just have to love each other because we don't know when it's time. You being here with me, I'm grateful. Please don't ever blame yourself for something you have no control over. Come here."

I gave her a kiss on her forehead and then I cuddled her. "Do you think they've replaced us with MiMi?" She asked. Which caused me to giggle, remembering MiMi back in the days.

"I mean they've always loved her more." We both knew our parents would never replace us.

"They've always have uh." We smiled at each other. I was about to go to the kitchen to make us food, but Mrs Brown walked in.

"Hey babies, I'm preparing dinner tonight." She put her ingredients on the kitchen's bench.

"I hope you bought enough groceries to prepare enough dishes because we're gonna have guests. I'm about to turn this house upside down on these non-monogamous father figures I have in my life. None of them is safe."
