Cm'on now look at me, You're all I have left.

Don't do this to me, you can't just leave me here all alone.

You have to survive cause if you're dying then we're dying together.

Straight man! you're my sister,

My best friend

Those we're the last words I heard before I fell unconscious.

I knew that voice one thing was certain.

Carrie Hart was crying.

Even though she's been in the same foster home with Arabellaa since they were five,she hadn't had a serious attack like this one. Pressing a hand on her queasy stomach,she parted the blinds in the hospital room to peek at her friend as she laid lifeless. The room was adorable. Different designs, different shapes of different sizes, coloured in myraid colours, it didn't matter; they made her forget her worries.

Anxiety replaced her nervousness,she loved Arabella and they were inseparable. Both were victims of circumstances at very young age,she couldn't imagine her life without Bella.

For an instant a pang of remorse engulfed her and unexpected tears filled her eyes,but she brushed them away she had to be strong. This day was far too important.

A sharp rap at the door made Carrie jump,and she again pressed a hand on her queasy stomach."Come in."

The door opened ,and Dr Ben stode in.

As wide as he was tall,Dr Ben's ready arms and abundant bosom had over the years ,comforted more than enough fair share of sick kids. He was known for dispensing love and medicine in equal dose.

"Crying again, Carrie?" ... she'll be fine,thank goodness you brought her here early enough if not, things would have been alot more complicated.

Carrie smiled."All the fool had to go was carry her inhaler". I'm going to kill her when she wakes up.

"Here."Dr Ben pressed a small plastic container into her hands."These'll make your tummy better. And don't go wrinkling your nose now,"He scolded gently." You love her too much to kill her."

"Now stop making faces,"Dr Ben scolded again."In a few days she'll be fine as wine. Chronic attacks are always frightening,but I believe she'll get better, everything will be fine.

"You know Doc, I can't afford to lose her, she's the only one I have left. We arrived at the foster home the same day and since then we became friends, she was told her mother abandoned her at the hospital the day she was born and all she left was a name for her child." Carrie added

"What?" Ben asked perplexed

Carrie glanced around quickly,then lowered her voice to a level reserved for triple-threats secrets." We all have our stories but she never had a family to call hers." My parents died in a car accident when I was five. We were all coming back from Miami, My brother and I where at the back seat and that's all I can recall. I still wonder what happened to Aiden . We were taken to different hospitals and since then they won't even allow my make enquires about the accident. They keep saying I'm a minor.

Dr Ben frowned," what? Who does such". I'll take on this case . Just give me the date it happened and I'll get back to you.

Fear skittered over Carrie. chilling her in spite of the heat of the day. Chewing her bottom lips. The memories she had buried in the depths of her heart burst open.She looked up sadly as she faced the doctor.

" The fourth of July 2012," Carrie said slowly, wrinkling her nose and Wondering where everything went wrong.

"Are you sure, dear?" Ben took a step closer, glancing at the sad little girl."July?"

"Sure as the sky is blue". She answered.

"Wow!" Dr Ben's face grew serious Something important happened to him that very day but now was definitely not the best time to share it.

"How did I get here?" Arabella said slowly looking confused,and her eyes kept drifting shut,She looked gray and utterly exhausted. All she could remember was Carrie's crying and saying stuffs about death. It really made her want to vomit.

"I think you flew here dummy". Does it really hurt to carry your inhaler around, you know this thing is almost weightless and one day instead if you to be in pain I'll be the one dying of worry. She's such a fool. Carrie blurted out in annoyance. Looking at her best friend really made her happy and she was glad she survived the asthma attack.

Alright girls, enough of the drama. Arabella needs to get some rest,and Carrie you need a nap like badly.

"Yeah I really need to go back to wherever I came from." she looks like she's going to eat me any moment from now. And I don't know talking really hurts my mouth is really feels heavy. Bella said vaguely

I'll send a nurse to check you, and Carrie,Miss Grace is here to take you home. You have my word your friend will be back on here feet's tomorrow.

Ben added

Oh! Not again...foster home sucks ! She said honestly.

"Goodnight girls" said Ben as he left the door ajar.

"Goodnight Doc" they replied.

"Oh God, I have to go now, I'll be back tomorrow with Miss Grace to pick you up ". She squeezed her hand then hugged her

" Thanks Carrie" said Bella

Things rolled on smoothly until the nurse on duty came into the room, when she appeared at the door and took a quick glance at Bella she looked quite shocked.She dropped all the drugs and tray she was holding.

Bella had heard her come in but she didn't expect such reaction.

"What's wrong ma'am?" She asked without pausing for breath. Maybe the nurse was having a panic attack ...but she felt so weak that she couldn't even stand to save her life.

"Give me a second," she said ,I have to make a call I'll be back and with that she disappeared into the hallway..... immediately she was out of sight, she reached for her phone and with that she was talking to the queen of Suitland, an old friend,in a matter of seconds.

"I've found her"..... "I think you'll like to see her".....she said at the top of her voice.
