"It's not about that ma'am, you see we can't give your son, your husband blood because, your son is dead." The doctor broke the news.
The whole waiting room became silent, no one said a word. They all stared at the doctor in shock, "what did you just say." Mrs Greg asked shocked, her heart beating so fast than the normal rate.
Doctor David felt a little uncomfortable, this was one of the things he hates doing as a doctor, breaking the news of a person death to their family, and watch the gruesome look on their face. "Ma'am, I know this is a shock but your son is dead, we couldn't...."
Alexia got up from her couch, and rushed over to the doctor held him by the collar, stopping him from his speech."SHUT UP!! SHUT THE F*UK UP, DOCTOR. My brother isn't dead, he is alive. No! No! No! No!. You are lying, my brother is alive, Aaron is not dead. There's got to be something wrong, okay. He promised to always be there, so he is not dead. He can't be dead. So just shut the f*ck up." Alexia yelled, in the doctors face.
"Alexia, calm down honey, hey it's going to be okay." Mr Greg said, dragging her away from the doctor.
"Forgive my daughter sir, she's my son's twin sister, so the impact of his death is carrying out on her really heavily." Mr Greg apologise.
"That's alright sir. Erm, I saw this paper clutched tightly on this boys hand, I think it's a letter. Here it is." The doctor hands over the white paper to me Greg, Mr Greg only reads the first line of the letter and then hands it over to his daughter, knowing it's for her.
**********
Alexia sits on her bed, just staring at the wall. She felt empty, like, there was no reason for her to live anymore. She stopped staring at the wall, and instead stared at the letter on her bedside drawer. Since her father gave her the letter, she had not had the courage to read it.
*Hey, if you are probably reading this, then I must have been dead by now. Alexia I know this is a really stupid decision, and I know you think so to. But I'm really sorry, I couldn't see another way to go around this, and this was this only solution I could get. One of us have to die Alexia, the world will never except our love, I had to sacrifice myself Alexia, so you could live happily. Go to college, and get married, give birth to beautiful kids. Alexia, this is me saying goodbye, I love you sis, I love you so much.* Alexia folds the paper in-between her palm, breaking down in tears.
"You shouldn't have done this, Aaron. You shouldn't have killed yourself, this is not the only solution, death is not the solution, arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Alexia cried out, screaming so loud, pulling her hair so hard.
"You shouldn't have taken your life, you shouldn't have taken your life, you shouldn't have taken your life, you shouldn't have take your life, you shouldn't have taken your life." Alexia whispered repeatedly, laying down on the cold floor, tears streaming down her eye lid.

Two months later
Alexia stared at the pregnancy test stick in her hand, she takes in a deep sigh siting on the toilet seater. She's pregnant, and she has no idea of what to do, the only thing she knows, is, she has to keep this abominable baby in her.
She gets up from the toilet seater and goes into her bedroom, wore her shirt and then also leaves her room.
"Alexia, honey, do you need anything darling." Mrs Greg asks on seeing her daughter climbing down the stairs.
"I need to talk to you and dad." Alexia answered simply, walking past her mum to the sitting room.
"Did she just talk to you." Mr Greg asked surprised, walking to where his wife is standing. They were already used to alexis staying in her room all day and whenever she gets out, she wouldn't say a thing to anybody. She would eat quietly and so whatever she wants to do without saying a word, staring ahead of her.
