Mia wasn't understanding a word that was being said. What was going on? Why was dad speaking like this? What-
Her thoughts were yet again cut off but this time by her moms shaky and dry voice, "Must learn? Must learn to be okay by knowing that my daughter will die any moment?! That's like asking for the moon Alex!"
Mia stood there shocked upon hearing those words, she stood there in solemn silence, too scared and shocked to make a move. Her dad replied back, his voice too getting shaky "Well we can't do anything else can we?! It is not our fault Mia was born with an unknown syndrome-"
" it's not UNKNOWN Alex, it's called Twist syndrome "
Her mom cut in, her voice cold. Mia herself flinched at her mother's tone. But that was all, her head was now spinning, thoughts of her going to die filled her head, sadness overwhelmed her and it felt like all those achievements before were was going to die so what was the use. Before she knew it she had burst into her parents room tears streaming down her face as she asked " what's happening to me?!"
Her parents were shocked but soon grief and sadness overcame them too as they stayed silent. Mia repeated " What's happening to me!? Why am I going to die?! What is this syndrome?" Her parents looked at each other before her mom took a deep breath and answered " You suffer from a syndrome called twist syndrome where your vital organs will stop working at any given point of time resulting that you might die any second." Her mom was in tears by the end of the sentence, let alone only Mia.
Mia stood there shocked, she WAS going to die, and she could die any second ,even right now. Tears streamed down her face and there was a sad silence in the room. Mia spent the rest of her day in her room sobbing. She refused to eat, reason with her parents or even Ashley who her parents had called over in hopes that she would listen.
