"No, absolutely not. Please, I beg you, I don't want to" I pleaded.

Fay immediately takes my hand and looked into my eyes.

"Don't say 'Don't'. You're stronger than that and you know it. Do it for me. Do it for Uncle Chester" she said.

My older sister, Faybelle Hadwin, who I call Fay, always knows what to say. Nobody could ever disagree with her.

"I just don't see why-" I exclaimed.

"Don't say 'Don't'" she stopped me.

Fay looked at me, with her darling blue ocean eyes and which are a window to happiness and said:-

"Flo, you'll be alright. I'll always be by your side, cheering you on"

Those words made me teary eyed. I couldn't help feel that she was right. She always is. I pulled her into a tight bear hug.

"Alright, fine. I'll go to school" I said.
