I went to visit my sister after school with Louis today. As we entered I felt tears in my eyes. It was the same thing everyday. Watch her but she can't see you. Talk to her but she can't talk back. Squeeze her hand but she can't squeeze it back. Sing to her but she doesn't sing back. It's like talking to a dead body. Every minute she slips further away from me and I can't help her. Lou held me as I sobbed into his shirt. "Shhhhh Melanie. She'll be okay" He cooed. "No Lou! She won't be! Can't you see! Shes slipping away every minute! Why wasn't it me who died and she and my parents lived?! Why can't she just wake up?" I trailed off as I sobbed harder. "She's strong like her beautiful sister" He said while kissing my forehead. "Come. Let's get some treats." He whispered as he led me out.

We sat in a small cafe and he ordered me a lemonade, my favourite, some cookies and a iced tea for himself. We settled into a small table and he pulled his chair close so he could wrap his arm around my waist. I picked at the yummy cookies he bought me but I didn't even finish a whole one. He ate the rest of my cookie and gave the other five to a homeless man. That's why I love Lou. He's always thinking of others. We returned to the hospital but they wouldn't let me in. "I'm sorry, she can't have visitors right now" The nurse said politely. "I have to see her! She's my baby sister!" I yelled. I pushed myself out of Lou's arms and ran to the room when my heart stopped. My baby sister's heart had stopped beating.

I felt myself fading as I heard the faint noises "1! 2! 3! CLEAR" "1! 2! 3! CLEAR" "1! 2! 3! CLEAR" and before I slip I hear "Mel! Wake up! Wake UP!"

I'm in a room. A medium sized one. It looks like a hospital. I look around when I see her. Mom! She looks younger. About ten years or so. "Hey sweetie! You made it" My dad holds my hand. He looks younger too. I look at his hand intertwined with mine. My hands look like a 5 year old. "Ready to meet your sister, Mellie?" I look up to see a baby. My sister. I reach out to touch her but she fades away. I looked at my mom who's fading also and my dad has disappeared. I'm left alone in the room and no one cares. I sob.

"Mel, wake up please"

My eyes flutter. I look around. I'm on a chair in the waiting room and Louis is holding me and shaking. I look up and he has tears in his eyes. "You worried me so much Mel. I thought something happened to you." He said as he pulled me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he hugged me tight. Suddenly i remember my sister. I start to run to the room but he pulled me back. "Mel, your sister.." He trailed off
