Regret.
It was the only thing Anne could feel as she looked at her younger sister lying in the hospital bed. The younger was connected to multiple machines that left Anne clueless except that they were the only thing currently keeping her sister alive.
Anne hated seeing her happy-go-lucky sister lifeless in the hospital; her skin that's usually so tan was now pale and it drove Anne crazy.
A knock at the door caught Anne's attention; she went to go open the door when it slowly started to reveal her older brother peaking in. Upon seeing Anne a tired smile pulled at his lips,
"Hey… How is she?" he asked, voice sounding ruff as if he hadn't slept in days.
"She's sleeping now…" avoiding eye contact with Sabo, Anne turned her back to him to go sit back down by Lucy's side.
Following after Anne, the blonde took a seat next to her, a sigh leaving his lips.
"Did the Doctors find anything new yet?"
"…Nope… still running more shitty tests…"
"Have you at least told her friends what's going on?"
"…"
Turing to face the other a serious look on his face, "Anne, they have the right to know! There probably just as worried!"
"Yeah, I know! I just-I just didn't want to leave her side." Her voice faded with each word.
Before Sabo could speak again the door opened and their sister's doctor walked in. The siblings stood, but the doctor motioned her hand for them to stay where they were.
"You're her family I presume?" nodding heads was the single answer the doctor received. Sighing she continued, "I'm sorry to have to tell you this."
