Chapter 3
(A/N. Girl above is what Sarah looks like, except bald. :D)
Hailey comes back upstairs, without Rebecca. I smirk. Rosie instantly runs over to her. Hailey rolls her eyes, already annoyed with Rosie and her clingy-ness.
"So what happened? Did she get in trouble?" I ask, hoping that the answer is yes. Hailey nods.
"Yeah, she got suspended for 1 week. Starting today. Isn't that awesome?" Hailey says, flipping her blonde hair. Rosie flips her brunette hair to match Hailey. I just laugh.
"Thanks so much, girls. I don't know what I would do without you." I say, grateful for their friendship.
"No problem. Now, hold that thought. I need to talk to Hailey about our weekend plans." Rosie says, turning her back to me once again. And now, everything is back to normal now. They're making plans without me, I'm left alone, and blah blah blah. Well, better focus on what Ms. Saunders is talking about now.

On the drive back to the hospital from school, I look out the window, thinking. I wonder if I should take the dandelion. What if it kills me, or makes me get a different type of cancer, or something? I say in my head, thinking of the worst possible scenario.
"Honey, we're here. Have you made your decision yet?" My Mom says, parking into an empty parking spot.
"Well... I sorta... Do?" I say, hoping that they don't hear the worry in my voice. I decided to go with the Wish, even though I don't think I deserve it. We get out of the car, walking into the muggy weather outside. I grab my air tank and walk to the front doors.
Once we're inside, we head to the left, where my room is. Once we get there, we see that Beverly is already in there, lighting up when he sees us. He walks over to me and raps me into an inviting hug.
"So, how's it going? Have you come to your decision yet?" He asks me, his hair more hard than ever. I nod, trembling a little bit. Funny, when I imagined my cancer being cured, I didn't think I would be so scared and afraid, I think to myself. Beverly says,
"So what's your decision, Sarah?" I swallow my fear and stand up a little straighter.
"I'm going with the Wish Dandelion. I mean, it can't be that bad, right?" I say firmly. Beverly nods, leaving the living room and beckoning us to go into the hospital part of our 'house.' We follow, my parents following me. When we enter, Beverly is holding it for me already. I take it from him, thanking him.
"OK, here we go..." I say to myself. I take a breath. Oh! I have to ask Beverly a question first. "How long will it take to activate? And will this tube finally come out of my nose?" I ask. I just have to know! Beverly scratches the back of his head.
"It'll take an hour to activate, and the regulator and tank you will always have to have still. The cancer made it so that you have to, from now on, always keep that regulator in your nose until you pass away. But this wish will make sure you won't die from the cancer. OK?" I nod, taking a deep breath. I wish that my cancer will be cured, I think my wish in my head. Then I blow the dandelion, it's seeds floating around the room. I turn to my parents. They're beaming with joy. I hug them.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," I repeat out loud to everyone in the room. I let go, and so do my parents. I then proceed to walk over to Beverly.
"Thank you, Beverly, for not giving up on me." He hugs me, and I hug him back.
"Thank you for trusting me. I'll see you later, OK, Sarah?" I nod, hugging him one last time. Once he leaves, I turn to my parents.
"Will we still live in the hospital? I like living here..." I say.
"Don't worry, we won't move. But your going to have to make room in your room..." My Dad says, wrapping an arm around my Mom.
"Why? Are one of you moving into my room...?" I say, not getting the point of this. My father chuckles to himself.
"Let's tell her, Linda." He says. My Mother nods.
"Honey... You're going to have a baby sister!!" She says. My eyes widen. A... Baby sister? Am I dreaming? I think in my head. I then proceed to scream with joy. Very loudly, I may add. My parents cover their ears, but I'm way too happy to care at the moment.
"OMG I'M GETTING A BABY SISTER OMG THIS NEWS IS FANTASTIC WOW OMG I... I have no words to express how happy I am..." I say, overcome with joy. My Mother smiles.
"She's coming soon, any day now." My Mother says to me, smiling. So that's why she's gotten a little... Ahem... Bigger. How amazing!! I then say,
"Let's go get ice cream to celebrate all of the great news!" My parents look at each other.
"Well, the nearest ice cream shop is about... An hour away..." They say. My shoulders slump with defeat. I wanted ice cream! "Well, we do have a lot of news to celebrate, so why not? Let's go!" My Dad says. I jump up and down.
"Yay!!"
•~ Time skip for about an hour ~•
We keep driving in the car, my Mom in the front with my Dad driving. I am so happy! A little sister! Wow! I can't believe it! But now, I have to ask something. Something my parents arn't going to want to hear.
"Mom, Dad... When I was young... Auntie Sharon told me something," I start. My Mom twists in her seat, turning to me.
"And what did she say, honey?" My Mom says, smiling. I take a deep breath.
"She told me... That I was supposed to have a twin sister. Is... Is that true?" My Mother's smile slowly fades.
"Yes. Yes, you did have a twin sister. Her name was Jade. But... Sadly... She died when she was 2. On both of your birthdays. She was older by 20 seconds..." She trails off. I feel really bad now for bringing that up, I think to myself.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to make you sad." I say. She smiles again.
"Oh, it's fine. Now, let's get ready for that ice cream!" She says, facing the front again. I smile.
Suddenly, I look in front of us.
There's a truck speeding towards the front of the car. I scream, and so does Mom. Dad swerves the car to the side, trying to avoid the truck, but it's no use.
It hits us head on.
We flip over, and start rolling sideways down a steep hill, glass flying everywhere and screams filling my ears. Finally, we come to a stop at the bottom of the hill.
Upside down.
Suddenly, I see a blinding white light. I feel... Peaceful? I look around me, and all I see is blinding white light. I feel so relaxed, as if I just had a massage. I look in front of me.
And see... Myself? No, it can't be. I don't see any mirrors. Plus, their wearing a white dress.
"Hello, Sarah. I'm so happy to see you all grown." The person says, smiling at me. Finally, it clicks with me.
This person is my twin, Jade.
"Hello, Jade. Do you know where I am?" I ask her. She smiles at me, shaking her head.
"This place is somewhere you don't need to be yet. However, our parents have joined me. I hope you don't mind. It isn't my fault though." She reaches for my hand and starts to say something, but suddenly, everything starts to fade. I look around and try to grab for her hand.
"Jade! Wait!" She smiles and waves.
"I'll see you later in life, Sarah. I love you." She takes her hand back, smiles, and a blinding light appeared, so bright that I had to close my eyes. When i opened them, I was in a hospital. Actually, I was back in our regular hospital. I then see a doctor walk by.
"Excuse me! Can you tell me where my Mom and Dad are?" The doctor walks into the room.
"What was that, sweetie?" She asked.
"Can you tell me where my parents are?" I repeat. She looks at the clipboard in her hand and her eyes go wide. Her hand goes over her mouth.
"I'm... I'm so sorry, Honey... Your parents... They didn't survive the crash." What? That can't be true... No... Please... I put my head in my hands, blinking back tears.
"Sarah... I am so sorry. They're... Dead."
