Aaliyah went home. She was tired and confused. Whoever she chose, she was going to lose someone she loved. Her life was a mess. As if losing her twins, wasnt hard enough, now she had to choose between two people she deeply loved. She just wanted to get drunk, to escape the pain. When she was about to take a sip, her mum stopped her

"This isn't you."

"Leave me mum. I just want to get drunk."

"And what will that do?"

"It'll make me forget everything for a while. I just want to forget."

"I know you do, but this isn't the answer."

Aaliyah lay on her mums lap, and wept. "It hurts mum." "I know." "Please make it stop." "I can't, my darling. The pain will never stop, but you'll learn how to live with it." 

"Mum, I have to choose. Who do I pick? The man I love or my sister? Whoever I choose, I'm hurting someone I love."

"I can't tell you. This is something you have to do alone."

"I can't. I love them both."
