Bella~ 18+

"Mummy!! what's happening!" I wail as my mum, older sister and I rush through the hospital, we chase after my baby sister, being carried away on a gurney.

A few hours later we're sitting in the waiting room.

"Will she be okay?" I sniffle, my eyes full of fear.

Dad rushes to my side, has hand grips
mine, his eyes full of concern as he shares a glance with mum "Charlotte's not feeling well, sweetie,"

"The doctors are going to try and help her," mum adds, though it's more of a mumble than a statement. Her own eyes glassy, and ready to give in.

"W-whats wrong with her?" 12 year old Olive starts, but is cut off by Charlotte's doctor standing in the doorway.

"I'm sorry."

Those two words made time freeze.

~time skip~

"What's happening!?" I pleed, sirens sending splinters through the night.

"It's your sister..." mum wept.

I get out the cops car, my eyes immediately start searching desperately for Olive. Headlights flow over head, combined with the lingering hum of cars spanned across a bridge. No...

My eyes land on a stretcher. Laying there, lifeless, Olive.

"Is she going to be okay?" I choke back a sob, sitting in the hospital waiting room. Again.

No one answers. Not until Olives doctor appears in the doorway. Olive's and Charlotte's doctor.

And then he utters the exact two words he did two years ago.

"I'm sorry."

It's official. I'm an only child.
