The doctor also said

that threes no way of saving her. What would happen If Crystal Bianay loses her twin sister, her other half? :) ___________________________________________

The Beginning: “Stephanie Elizabeth will you please hurry up, where going to be late for the first day of school!” I called up to my twin sister who was still in the bathroom getting ready. If she would have gotten up at the time I told her too, we wouldn’t be late. I got up at 5:45 to take a shower and get ready. By 6:30 I was eating breakfast with my parents who also have to be to work by 7:30. “Whoa sis, why do you have to be the hot one and the smart one? The outfit is damn hot!” My sister exclaimed, I rolled my eyes at her. “Stupid where twins, we look a like so really where both really hot but you are right about me being the

smart one though.” I smiled at her. “Alright let’s go, by my driving will get to school in time.” I walked to the living room to get my bag and keys then headed to the door where Stephanie Elizabeth was waiting for me already with her bag. “Crys, you know where not going to be late for school with your driving in all.” She said teasingly. “Hardy har ha.” I told her. I like diving fast; it’s just a hobby of mine driving fast and designing clothes for my new store that my parents bought for me. Stephanie Elizabeth and I have been designing ever since we were in sixth grade, although my parents just bought us the store recently. I unlocked our new infinity pearl color car. I was so happy when Steph and I had gotten it for our eighteenth birthday especially because the car goes up 250mph. I usually drove because when Stephanie Elizabeth drives, she goes very slowly. “Crys, do you think we’ll have any classes together?” Steph asked me in a small soft voice. “Well, get most of the classes together because we picked the same thing, since were seniors and all we have this year are

only electives.” I replied to her smiling at her. “We’ll know once we get there.” By the way I was driving we got there in time. We headed to the office where were suppose to get our schedule for the day. “Hello Mrs. Carter, how are you doing this morning?” I asked the secretary at the front desk. “I am doing fine, thank you very much Crystal Bianay or should I say Crys.” I chuckled. “And how are you Stephanie Elizabeth?” She asked Stephanie in an heavy Italian accent. “I’m good Mrs. Carter, thanks for asking.” She smiled at the old lady. She gave us our schedule, and then hurried to see if we have any classes. “We have 1st, 4th,5th and 7th period together.” I told Stephanie Elizabeth who couldn’t be happier. Our first class was Fashion Design class. Our teacher was so cool and so where the students there too. Ms. Morales told us to sit behind these really hot guys and by hot, I mean really hot guys. We took our seats and both of the guys turned around and said hi to us. I smiled at both of them and said hi back. While Stephanie

Elizabeth looked like she was hyperventilating. The guys just turned away, I grabbed a piece of paper out of my backpack and wrote to her. “Stephanie Elizabeth what the hell, why didn’t u say hi back, there both really, really hot!” I wrote and passed her and passed her the note. She got it, read it, wrote something down then passed it back to me. “I know that, I feel like a complete fool. Imagine us going out with them Crys, wouldn’t that be awesome.” I smiled at her, and then wrote down quickly. “I would take any of those too. Both of them will do for me.” I passed it to her. One of the guys turned around just as I passes it to her when I looked up he smiled and I smiled back. I looked down at the note Steph passed back to me. “Well by the looks of it, that guy seems to like you” She underlined the like you part. “Either one will do for me. Lol”

The bell rang and that’s when me and Stephanie Elizabeth will be separated. So much for having electives only. My 2nd and 3rd class is Advanced English class. Well it is what I put down, my other hobby of mine is reading and writing. “What class do you have next?” I asked Steph. “Journalism.” She replied in an exited voice. “Well good look with that. Before you ask I have Advanced English for 2nd & 3rd.” I told her teasingly. She smiled and left for her class. When I got to mine I found one of the guys that where seated in front of me and Stephanie’s 1st period class. The teacher assigned me to sit next to him. When I sat down next to him he smiled and said, “Hi, don’t I have you for 1st period?” I smiled and replied coolly, “yeah I sit behind you and that dude.” He chuckled. “I’m Gregory Will Castillo nice to meet you.” He took out his hand so I can shake it. “I’m Crystal Bianay Morales, Nice to meet you too.” I said as I shook his hand. “You have a twin sister huh?” He asked me when the bell rang announcing that class will begin.

“Yeah, her names Stephanie Elizabeth. We all have long name.” I chuckled. He smiled, “Yeah, but all nice names.” The rest of the hour went by pretty fast. When I got to 4th period I saw Stephanie Elizabeth there already in a seat. I greeted the teacher and she sat me down next to Stephanie Elizabeth. Then after that class we went to lunch was were we found all of our friends sitting in a table. They all said hi and started talking about our last year in high school. The day went passed by quick, I learned I have Gregory for 3 classes. 1st, 2nd , 3rd, and 7th. When we got home I was very tired so I went to bed. I woke up at 5:00pm so I could go and help mom and dad paint the shop. Stephanie Elizabeth said she was tired and said she was going to sleep. After we painted half of the store it was 8:00 and we went to get pizza and go home. Once we got to the house I went up stairs and took a hot shower. I was looking at my reflection in the mirror. I had light brown hair with blue/green/gray eyes. My sister had blue/gray eyes only, not a hint of green anywhere like me. Other then

that my sister and I our 99% look a likes. I put pjs on and went to sleep.

When I woke up I went to go wake Stephanie Elizabeth and tell her to wake up. “My head hurts sis, I’m going to tell mom and dad to let me stay home today.” She told me weakly. “It’s your second day of school, u have to go silly. It’s just a head-ache it will leave when u take aspirin.” I smiled at her then went to

shower and get ready. When I got down stairs Stephanie was already changed and eating breakfast. Daddy said that he has to go to Florida where he’s going to court to defend some guy who supposedly jacked some money from some old lady. Mom also has to go but they say were old enough to stay on our own as long as we don’t throw any parties. When Stephanie and I got to school we saw one of the hot guys that sat in front of us was heading our way. “Hi Crystal, Stephanie.” He greeted us. “Hey.” We said in unison. I smiled at my sister who smiled back at me. “Um Crystal, can I talk to you a sec?” He said shyly. He looked a little nervous. “Ill see you in class Crys.” Stephanie Elizabeth said shyly. “What’s up Alexander?” I told him nervously, why does he want to talk to me? I thought. “Um, well I thought maybe you and I could go get a pizza and watch a movie today? If you have something to do that’s fine.” He said the last part an a soft edgy voice. “Sure, ill love too. What time?” I gave him my best smile with the dimples in my face. He blinked and asked, “Will six work for

you?” “Sure, that will be perfect.” He then smiled and asked for my hand, and then both of us walked to class hand in hand. When Stephanie Elizabeth saw us coming in she said she has good news for me. “Gregory just asked me out, he said do you want to go for movie and a pizza tonight.” She whispered at me excitedly. “OMG! Alexander just asked me the same thing. I said yes and were going out tonight.” We sat at out seats while Alex and Greg where talking together next to the door way. I wonder if there friends? I thought they seem pretty close. Maybe there cousins. “Stephanie Elizabeth? Why are you looking up? Are you feeling well?” Stephanie Elizabeth was looking pale, very pale. “Yeah I’m okay just a head ache.” I continued to study her after all I took three years of pre-med. “Are you sure, you look very pale?” I asked her. “Yes, now be quiet the guys are coming.” She said in a small voice. “Hey ladies, Greg here just told me that he’s taking your sis out too so we just why not all of us go together.” Both of them smiled at us, I smiled back and said, “why not.” They both turned

around. That day went by pretty fast. We were getting ready; Stephanie asked if I could show her what to wear. I put some black skinny jeans with a white lose shirt, with the flat blue boots because it is a little chilly out. Stephanie Elizabeth wore the same thing except different jackets. Stephanie Elizabeth’s jacket is white and her boots are white too, while my jacket is blue and my boots are blue. All in all we looked a like in every possible way. When the doorbell rang I went to go get it to find the guys there. They said hi and waited for us to get our purses. Then we were off to the movies. We talked a lot about our selves and so did they. At the end when they dropped us off they said if we want to go to a party and we told them sure. They also said if we want them to be our boyfriends and we said let us think about it, for like two seconds we both said in unison, yes. They laughed and Alexander kisses me, while Gregory kissed Stephanie. When they where gone Stephanie exclaimed, “Our wish came true, Crystal Bianay, imagine if we get married and

have children with these guys how big our family will be!” She said with tears of happiness. “We just met them, and just started to go out with them, don’t over exaggerate.” I chuckled but was completely happy myself, no happy isn’t the word. Ecstatic, yeah that’s it. I’m ecstatic. Although I secretly wish that I would have gotten Gregory because he and I clicked more then Alex and I did, but I am happy either way. When we got to school the next day, we started hanging out, the four of us ate out lunch outside on a table next to a tree. We talked and talked till lunch was over. They walked us to our class and everything it was so nice. I didn’t even notice the months go by, and by the looks of it neither did Stephanie Elizabeth. It was the middle of May when Stephanie Elizabeth started getting these massive head aches. She would cry and cry of the pain. When I woke up it was 6:30am I went to wake up Stephanie Elizabeth up. “Steph, wake up.” Nudge her gently. “Stephanie wake up, come on we’ll be late for school again.” She wouldn’t open her

eyes. My voice grew louder. “STEPHANIE, WAKE UP! COME ON PLEASE!” I shouted at her but she wouldn’t move. I shook her hard. I was crying by then, I ran to my parents room they where getting ready for work. “Sweetie what’s wrong?” my dad asked me. “Dad, Stephanie’s not waking up, I think something’s wrong!” I shouted at them. My father went running to the room. He shook her but she wouldn’t wake up. My dad started crying too, and so did my mother. He picked my sister up and carried her down stairs telling us to put shoes on, were going to the hospital. I put my slippers on and went to the car where my parents where waiting for me already. My dad drove as fast as he can, not caring about the laws he’s braking just thinking about his daughter. When we got there they took Stephanie away from my dad and took her. We waited in a private room. It seemed hours when the doctor came in. “Hello family Morales. We know whats wrong with you daughter.” He told us. He sounded sad and looked nervous. “Stephanie Elizabeth has a blood tumor growing in her head. A blood tumor is not

good. It just keeps on growing till it invades the whole human body. I’m afraid to tell you that there is no possibility that your daughter will live.” He said the last word softly. All I remember there is nothing but blackness taking over my body. I liked this blackness there was no pain, no nothing. It’s like being underwater not needing oxygen, just swimming freely without any need to go up. When I awoke from the darkness, the first thing I saw was my dad. Then I saw I had an ivy on and laying down in a bed, “Dad? Where am I?” I asked in a thick voice. He looked at me and was relieved, “You’re in a hospital sweetie. You have been unconscious for 2hrs. You fainted and hit your head. You gave me quite a scare. I couldn’t bare to lose you too.” He kissed my forehead. “Dad, tell me it’s not true, tell me that Stephanie is going to live. Tell me that the doctor is lying. Please just tell me!” I cried out. He took me into his arms and started rocking me. “Sweetie I wish I could tell you all that but I can’t, what the doctor said is right.” His voice was pained and I realized

that tears were in his eyes. “Ohh daddy, I don’t want her to die. If she dies I want to die too. She’s my other half daddy. I confide with her, what am I gonna do now that she’s gone?” I almost shouted those words at him but the tears didn’t let me shout. That’s when the nurse came in and I heard my dad say what she is going to do. She simply replied that she gonna neutralize me. I told her to go to hell that I’m talking to my father. My father said to leave me alone that im fine. She shot me a glare and left. I started crying even more. “I want to see her daddy. I want to see her now!” I cried out to him. “When you’re more relax sweetie, just sleep for a while more. I called your school already and Gregory somehow herd and is in the cafeteria eating. He stayed in here with you while me and your mom ate something. Your moms with your sister right now. And if your wondering why you have the IV its because you haven’t ate anything and its nearly 11:30am.” He told me, and was about to continue when Gregory came in the room. He looked pained like me and my father but

managed to smile at me. “Hi Crystal. How are you feeling?” He seemed concern for me. “I’ve been better, thanks.” My dad told us that he is going to check on mom and will be back later. “How did you find out about Stephanie?” I asked him softly. He sat on the end of my bed looking at me. “Mrs. Carter is my grandmother. She told me she was sorry about Stephanie and I didn’t know what had happen. She thought I knew but I didn’t. I knew Steph had those head aches because you told me that you were worried about her. Once my grandmother told me, I came here as fast as I can and found your parents. They told me if I can stay with you while they go eat breakfast then when your father came back I went to eat my breakfast. So do you know what’s wrong with Stephanie, they really didn’t tell me anything, they said to ask you because they don’t know if you’re gonna share it with me. So what’s wrong?” I took a deep breath and looked away. Tears where rolling down my face, Gregory came and wiped them away. “Tell me Crystal.” He said urgently. “Stephanie

Elizabeth has a blood tumor in her head. A blood tumor is a disease that will grow in her head and she will die. The doctor said that they can’t do anything about it. That she will die in a matter of days.” I finished the last words with sobs that broke down on me. Gregory’s breath caught, but he wrapped his arms around me. I herd him sob quietly too. When the sobs grew quiet, we backed up and I told Gregory that im feeling tired and that im going to go back to sleep but to wake me up when my parents get here. Then I put the covers over my shoulder and turned to my side and was drifting to sleep when I felt Gregory’s lips to my forehead.
