Be My Nightingale? ❃ Baysha

❃ 6

‘Little sister’ echoed throughout my head as maybe she was right. Bayley fell for her way too quickly, besides Bayley barely know her. My mother was smoking with some guy downstairs while Bayley was locked in Bella’s bedroom.

Bayley pulled open her top drawer and saw a stack of photos. Bayley took them out and sat down on her bed. Bella from birth up until the day she passed. Their family was perfect. So, so perfect. Things revolved around Bella once she was born and Bayley did not mind.

Flashback

My mother walked in cradling the newborn in her arms. Happily, Bayley jumped from the chair beside her mother’s friend and right to them.

“You’re so excited to meet your baby sister!” Her father says chuckling and leading Bayley to the bathroom. “You have to wash your hands first, okay?” he says and Bayley nods.

Bayley washed and dried her hands off before going to her mother and the newborn.

“Here you go.” her mother says handing her Bella once she sat down. Their parents looked down lovingly at their daughters.

“Life is perfect.” her mother says with a smile on her face.

Flashback End

It was perfect. Everything Bayley could ask for she got. Bella meant the world to me and if she was unhappy then so was Bayley. Their parents have changed so much.

My mother was a teacher and my dad was a lawyer. Only thing they are now is a prostitute and an alcoholic. It is weird how her death made them fall apart. When Bella died, our family died too.

Flashback

The car started to slow, but it was not enough to stop from hitting her. Bella was on the ground, her little hands outwards and upwards and my dad screamed and my mom was crying so bad. I stood there allowing my tears to fall freely as my sister lay on that ground.

We got to the hospital and her possibilities of living were so little. She beat those odds and she woke up a few weeks later. She was playing and she was happy.

“Bayley, Bayley, look!” she says pointing her index finger at the ceiling where she had her light pointed

Bayley gasped, “Wow, did you do that?” she says happily and Bella giggles

“Yeah!” she says and smiles. Bella soon turned and hugged Bayley.

“I love you Bay.” she says and Bayley smiles.

“I love you too Bella.” Bayley whispers and Bella soon fell asleep.

We went home with hope. Saying that Bella is going to make it and she would be happy again. Once again, tragedy struck.

The hospital called around 3 a.m and they told us Bella passed away. We went there and they refused to let us see her body. They showed us one photo and then, my mom and dad settled for a closed casket funeral.

Flashback End.

Bayley stared up at the ceiling.

“If you could somehow hear me, you would be four years old now.. you were the best little sister anyone could ever ask for. I miss you so much. Our family is not the same as it was.” Bayley whispered and she pulled Bella’s blanket close to her.
