After falling fast asleep, my mind slipped off into a dream. But this dream did not seem fake, every moment felt real. Dad was in the special forces for our government. He had his own group to fight with him by his side. Even though it cannot be true, but every moment felt real than ever. I wanted to scream and shout but I could not. Dad was the leader and he was teaching Bailey and I how to fight just like him. I could never be a fighter, I am too weak, but not Bailey. Dad handed everyone guns and armor and we all started shooting. It looked like the island I was on, when we got 'kidnapped'. But when we arrived their was other men there to. We all out of the boat and started shooting our guns, but then I woke up.

          When I woke up, it was midnight and Bailey was sound asleep on the couch next to me. I leaned over to grab the remote to turn the television on. When I turned on the tv, It said three o' clock in the morning. When I went to sleep it was eleven o' clock at night, but there is no way I slept two days already.

          "Pssst Bailey!" I whispered.   "Pssst please wake up!"

            "Yeah?" Bailey said moving around and yawning.

          "How long have I been sleeping?" I asked, waiting for her to stop yawning.

        "You seriously wake me up, to ask how long it's been? At least your getting sleep!" She paused.

       "It's been three days since you last went to sleep. I'm not a hundred percent sure because I have to sleep to you know? But I think it's been three, why you asking at three AM?" Her attitude was coming out. Bailey was not a morning person and anyone who woke her up knew that.

       "I'm sorry. Just go back to sleep grouchy!" I teased her, but she just ignored me and went back to sleep.

       It has been three days since I went to sleep last, I thought to myself. Three whole days, and I slept through it like it was nothing. It was obvious my body was trying to fight off something. After the well needed rest I got, felt a lot better. Besides that I was starving.

       I grabbed the hospital remote and called for the nurse. After about ten minutes of just laying their a nurse finally walked in.

      "Oh hello. We didn't know when you were going to awake. I bet your starving or in pain? Do you need some ice chips or anything?" She was very friendly.

        "Yes ma'am all the above please! I'm starving and my head is pounding. I feel rested but I'm still so very weak," I replied trying to make it to the bathroom.

        "Oh let me help you! It's been almost four days you were asleep, your body was telling you something," She informed me, as she held my waist and helped me to the bathroom.

         "Thank you so much, I would of peed in my pants if you weren't here," we both laughed.

       I did my business and flushed. The friendly nurse helped me back into the, not so comfortable bed again.

       "I'll be right back with some breakfast and ice chips with juice. The doctor will come in later on today and check up on you. We knew that you needed rest Ms. Halley," she smiled turned around and shut the door behind her.

        I found me a movie and laid there, waiting for some food and relief. About thirty minutes later, breakfast had arrived. The moment the cafeteria lady walked in with food, Bailey was awake. She would never wake up for anything, but get this girl some food and she would be ready to take on the world.

      After Bailey and I finished all of the breakfast, Mom and Dad came up there to check on us. Bailey had called them already, to tell them I was awake.

       "Well hello sleeping beauty," mom and dad both laughed, when they walked in the room.

        "If you two could sleep as good as me, you would," and that was when Bailey and I laughed back at them. But I had to stop right away, my head was getting light headed and dizzy.

        "How are you feeling?" Dad asked walking over to my side of the bed.

       "I feel well rested, but I'm still very weak and fatigued." I answered, faking a smile.

       "Where's Aiden and Ethan?" Bailey asked our parents.

      "Yeah why didn't they come? Don't they miss me?" I added.

         "Well you see. Honey, maybe you should tell them," Mom exclaimed, walking out my room.

       "Dad what's going on?" Bailey and I were very concerned now.

        Dad held his head low and slowly walked over to where we could hear him. He sat down at the feet of my bed and grabbed my hand.

         "Honey this will be hard for you to hear but I don't know if this will help your situation. I'm going to tell the doctor to check up on you first," Dad explained.

         Dad left Bailey and I sitting their speechless. Mom was too upset to stay in here and Dad wants the doctor to come first, I thought to myself. What was wrong? I needed to find out now.

           I eased out of the bed and started walking towards the door, when I tripped over all the cords and fell down.

      "HALLEY!" Bailey screamed.

        "I'm fine, just help me into bed before the doctor comes. Hurry!" I encouraged her.

       Bailey helped me into the bed and covered me up, right when the doctor was walking in.

       "Good to see you doing much better Ms. Halley." The doctor spoke as he walked in the room with Dad behind him.

        "Yes sir, just a bit weak but I'm doing good," I faked another smile.

        "Well your vitals are doing great. And the bruises and swelling is going down better than before," he informed me.

        "Thank you doctor," I thanked him and he walked out the door, and closed it behind him.

       "Dad what is going on? You must tell me now? Or else I'm going to go crazy!" I exclaimed nearly jumping out the bed.

         "What I'm about to say will be hard for both of you. And please remember that this is neither one of you fault. But Ethan wasn't doing too good..."

         "NOOO!" I cried, my heart was breaking into tiny pieces. Ethan was dead.

      "I know darling but you have to be strong! Ethan has been sick a long time, way before any of this happened. He has been sick for two years now. But he just found out. And his body just shut down." Dad said as we hugged.

        I eventually calmed myself down and looked over my shoulder, Bailey was stuck. She did not move, cry, or blink. Bailey was going into a shock.

       "Bailey?" I asked.

        When I said her name, Bailey, started to look at me and then she just let it all out. Bailey was crying her heart out. I grabbed her and just held her right. Bailey and I was crying together. I held Bailey for the longest I ever have. She was starting to calm down just a little bit, but I still held onto her tighter and tighter. I grabbed the side of her face and said, "I love you Bailey, and I will be here for you."

         Bailey grinned a little and held me even tighter. The tears were finally starting to dry up. But I could tell that her heart was broken. She would never be the strong Bailey, that we all knew. She would always be My Twin Bailey, my sister forever.

     A small voice in the back on my head said, "protect your sister, just like I would protect you both." And then I remember who said it, Mitchell.
