Chapter 5

작가: Goldie Lane
Mom dropped to her knees like all her bones were gone.

She crawled to the bed, shaky and slipping.

My face was really pale, like it got soaked.

My lips were bluish purple.

"Chloe?"

She reached out and touched my face.

I was freezing cold.

She yanked her hand back.

Then she kind of went crazy and pulled me into her arms.

"Chloe! My daughter!"

She threw her head back, her neck tight.

Her tears mixed with my blood all over her face.

She didn't notice. She just held me tighter.

  • Died to Be Loved   Chapter 8

    Mom froze. The blood bags slipped from her hand and hit the floor.She looked at Nina, then at the bags.Like all her strength just disappeared, she dropped to the ground."But Nina, you'll die! Without Chloe's blood, you won't make it three months!"Nina forced a smile. "Mom, I'm not scared to die. I've been in pain every day for as long as I can remember. I kept thinking, why me? Why do I have to go through this?"But God gave me the sweetest little sister. She bled for me, gave up everything for me, and in the end... even gave me her life."And she never cried about it hurting."Her voice cracked. "So Mom, let me go find Chloe, okay? I'm really tired."Mom just stared at her, like she was seeing her for the first time.Then she broke down. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry to both of you! I'm a terrible mom. I ruined both my kids!"Dad caught her when she fell.***Grandma's funeral and mine were on the same day.Two coffins went out the door, one after the other.At the cemetery,

  • Died to Be Loved   Chapter 7

    There was a tiny coffin in the living room, right next to Grandma's.Dad's hair went gray overnight.Mom put me in my favorite yellow dress. It was their birthday gift to me. I never wore it. I just took it out and looked at it on special days.She knelt by my coffin and wiped my face and hands with a damp towel, slow and careful."Chloe, when you were born, you were so small. So skinny, like a little kitten. I was scared I couldn't take care of you. I thought you'd get sick like Nina. When the doctor said you were healthy, I realized I'd been clenching my hands so hard they were bleeding."I leaned over the edge of my coffin and listened, kinda blank.It was the first time I heard what I was like as a baby.So... when I was born, Mom worried about me too."But then Nina got worse. Every time I saw her hurting all night, it felt like knives in my chest. You were always so good. You didn't cry or make a fuss. Once you ate, you just slept. I thought, since you're so easy, I'd tak

    Mom covered her mouth, shaking. "It's okay. Chloe's just sleeping. She'll wake up."Nina looked empty, like nothing was inside her. She stumbled forward.Mom reached out but stopped, scared she'd hurt her, so she just watched Nina come closer to me."Chloe..."Nina wobbled, then dropped to her knees.Pain hit her face.Her fingers shook as she touched my cold cheek. "Chloe, it's me. Nina. What's wrong? Don't you like playing with me? I'm here. Get up."Her tears fell, one after another.I stood next to her, my chest hurting. "Nina, get up! You can't get hurt! Your legs are broken. Get up! Don't be sad for me. It's not worth it!"I yelled and grabbed for her arm.My hand went right through.I couldn't touch anything.Then the doorbell rang.Mom ran to the door like it could save everything. "Doctor! The doctor is here!"Dad carried me over, his hands shaking so bad he could barely hold me. "Doctor, please save my daughter!"The doctor rushed up. When he saw my super pale

My daughter!"She threw her head back, her neck tight.Her tears mixed with my blood all over her face.She didn't notice. She just held me tighter."Open your eyes and look at Mommy! I was wrong. I know I was wrong! Wake up! Please don't scare me! My baby! My Chloe!"I stood in the corner, watching, confused.Why was Mom crying so hard?Didn't she hate me the most?Didn't she say I was bad luck?That she wished I would die?I paused, then stepped closer.I wanted to wipe the tears and blood off her face.But right before I touched her, I pulled my hand back.No. Mom hates when I touch her. She'll get mad.I just stood there, quiet. "Mom,

  • Died to Be Loved   Chapter 4

    That night, Mom brought the medicine tray into Nina's room. Her eyes were still swollen, her voice rough. "Why are you standing there? Go get ready."I jumped up."No need."Nina's voice stopped me.Mom and I both froze."Mom, stop taking Chloe's blood. I'm dying anyway. It won't help."Mom rushed to the bed like she wanted to hug her but didn't dare. "No! I won't let you die! I'll beg the doctors! There has to be a way!"Nina didn't look at her. Her eyes were empty. "Why me? Mom... did I do something bad?"Mom broke down. "No! No, this is my fault! I failed you! God, take me, not her! Please, let my daughter live!"I stood by the door. Tears ran into my mouth. Salty and bitter.I kept thinking about it and thinking about it and my chest hurt.***It was really late. I climbed out of bed real quiet.The extra blood bags and stuff were in the living room cabinet. I crouched and dug around."Chloe?"Dad's voice came from behind me.I froze. The bag in my hand almost slipp

    I ran out barefoot.Mom was on the living room floor, crying loud.I went over and pulled her sleeve. "Mom, what's wrong?"She shoved me. "You still asking?"She grabbed my shoulders and shook me hard. "Why'd you tell Grandma you wanted meatballs? Are you starving here? We don't feed you? Say it!"I froze. "I just missed Grandma—"She slapped me."You missed her? You missed her to death! If you didn't say that, would she stay up all night cooking and rush over? Would she crash? You're bad luck! My mom is gone because of you! Why don't you just die? Why wasn't it you?"She shoved me again.I stumbled back. My head hit the wall.I didn't feel it. I just kept thinking, 'Grandma is dead? I killed Grandma?'Dad grabbed Mom before she lost it. "Calm down! What does this have to do with Chloe?"Mom fought him, face wet and messy. "How does it not? She caused it! She killed my mom! Let me go! Throw her out! I never want to see her again!"Dad dragged her toward the door. "Chloe, s
