Chapter 2 2

It's been two days and Yvonne was still in the same condition. And knowing that her sister is fighting for her dear life with just the help of numerous machines, Yvette can't be at peace. She only slept for a few hours in those two days and she feels so restless. But she tried to ignore that because in her mind, her sister needs her and she needs to be prepared if she suddenly woke up from being unconscious.

During those times that she was waiting, she tried to keep herself mentally strong. But there are times that she fails to do that. Because how can she not when it was her sister who is suffering?

If there's one person who can give her strength but also make her weak and vulnerable, it's only Yvonne.

Not even their parents can make her this weak and vulnerable. Even when they died. Sure, she just teared up a little but that's it. But, Yvonne... her twin is different.

Because she's the only person who understands her and respects her for who she is in their family. For her, she's more than a sister. She's her best friend, her partner in crime, her anchor, and her safe place. And even though they parted ways because she rebelled her way out of their family, Yvonne supported her wholeheartedly because Yvonne knows how bad she wanted to be free.

That's why even though she already cut ties with her so-called parents, she still kept in touch with Yvonne, the only person she considers her family.

And now that Yvonne is in this kind of situation, Yvette can't help but feel depleted. If she can just switch places with her sister right now, she'll do it in a heartbeat. She'd rather suffer than see her sister suffering.

Yvette didn't notice that she had fallen asleep once again if not for the sound of people rushing that passed by her. She immediately opened her eyes to see what was happening when she noticed that some doctors and nurses were entering her sister's room. That made her immediately stand up and go there also.

"W-What is happening?" She asked when she was supposed to enter the room but she was halted by one of the nurses.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but you can't enter the room right now," The nurse told her.

"I know that but please tell me what is happening?! I need to know what's happening with my sister!"

"The patient has regained her consciousness and the doctors are currently doing a check-up on her."

As if the skies had cleared, Yvette felt like she was hit with a comforting breeze of air because of the nurse's words.

My sister... My sister's back!

After the doctors do a check-up on her sister, she was permitted to enter the room but she should be wearing the proper attire. That's why she was brought to a room where there are hospital gowns, hair covers, masks, and gloves. After wearing those, a nurse guided her to her sister's room and there she saw Yvonne lying on the hospital bed but rather than sleeping, she was wide awake.

The moment she met her sister's eyes, tears started to build in her own.

"Y-Yvette?" Yvonne's voice sounded so hoarse but Yvette felt so happy hearing it.

"I'm here, Yvonne. I'm here..." She trailed as she went near her.

The two of them stared at each other for a good minute and not long after both of them broke into tears.

"I-I'm s-sorry..." Yvonne apologized.

"Shhh, you don't need to apologize, sis. Everything will be fine. You're going to be fine," Yvette cooed to her sister but it just made her sob more.

"I-It's my fault, Yvette. I-I didn't see the passing car that's why I'm in this s-situation. I'm so s-sorry..." Yvette held her twin's hand and brought it near her lips.

"It's okay... It's okay..." She whispered but enough for Yvonne to hear.

"I-I saw him again... I saw him cheat on me again... Yvette, it hurts..." Yvonne continued sobbing, not minding the pain that she was physically experiencing because of her injured arms and legs.

Yvette halted because of what she heard from her sister. Cheat? Again?

"W-What do you mean, Yvonne? Is your husband... is cheating on you? Is that it?" Those words felt so bitter to say for Yvette but she tried to remain calm even though she knows that she was starting to lose her cool once again.

"I'm sorry, Yvette... I'm so sorry..." Yvonne apologized to her once again but that's not what she wanted to hear. Yvette wanted to ask further but her sister beat her to it.

"I-I saw him numerous times already, Y-Yvette. B-But I pretended like I didn't..."

Fucking shit.

"I-I love him, you know? I l-love him so much... But it hurts now, Yvette. It hurts so much!"

Seeing her sister apologizing and breaking down because of her husband in front of her feels like she's being stabbed straight in her heart. Her sister's eyes are full of pain and regret that it feels suffocating to witness.

But because of her cries, Yvette started to understand what happened that made her sister end up in this predicament.

Her husband cheated on her. Again. She was hurt because of it that's why she wanted to run away but she got into an accident.

"Y-Yvette, I'm tired... I'm so so tired... I'm sorry..." Yvette's eyes widened when she heard those words from her twin.

"No, Yvonne. Stay with me. You can't leave me, Yvonne!" Yvette pressed the emergency button on the top part of Yvonne's bed to call for help.

"I'm sorry if I'll break my promise this soon,"

"No! Yvonne! You're going to be fine! Nurse! Doctor! Somebody, help!"

"Yvette, it's okay...There's no use," Yvonne's voice sounded so weak as she said those words. As much as she doesn't want to leave Yvette in this cruel world, she knows that her body is going to give up on here very soon.

"No! Stay with me, Yvonne! Please, stay with me!"

"Y-You're the b-best twin that I could ever ask for, Y-Yvette. I l-love you..." And that were the last words that she said before she finally lost her breath.
