I sigh and slip on my school uniform. I brush my auburn hair. Yui cut it, again. It was down to my mid-back, but now it's to my jaw.
I hate long hair, just as much as I hate school.
"Yui, ready yet?" I ask looking at my sister. She looks just like me. I guess that's what's supposed to happen being identical twins and everything.
"Yeah. Just hang on. I need to tell dad 'bye'."
Remember how I said dad always smiled? Well, that stopped when we found out he had cancer. He's at the hospital, just waiting to die.
Every morning, Yui always calls the hospital to tell dad 'bye.'
I look at my sister. "Hello? Yes, this is she. Uh-huh? Yeah. What?" The phone falls out of Yui's hand. I catch it before it hits he ground.
I hold it to my ear. "Hello? This is Yuri," I say.
"Is your sister okay? Did she tell you?" a female voice asks.
"She's fine. Tell me what?"
"Your dad died. I'm so sorry for your loss."
"Th-thank you. For-for telling us." I hang up the phone and look at Yui.
"Yui?" I ask. She falls to the floor. "Yui!" I drop to my knees at her side. She falls into my arms weeping.
"No. No! Daddy can't be dead!" Yui yells at nothing. She looks at me. Her green eyes are vivid and wild.
"Yui, it's al-"
"No! It's not, Yuri! Daddy died! Mommy died! Who knows who would be next?"
"Come on, Yui," I say holding her up. "We need to be strong. They would want us to be strong." I'm almost balling like Yui.
I grab some tissues for us. I grab the phone and dial grandpa.
"Hello?" the male on the other end asks.
"Hi, grandpa. It's me Yuri," I say wiping my tears.
"Hi, lily**. What's wrong?"
"Dad's-" I cry.
"I'm so sorry, lily," he says getting the picture.
"It's okay. Can Yui and I live with you? Just until we find another place to stay?"
"Oh, yes, but-"
"But?"
"But, with your aunt, uncle, and cousins already here, I'll need more room. Can you stay at a friend's house until I'm finished?"
"Um. Okay." Considering we have no friends. Everyone stopped being around us once mom died.
"Okay, lily. I love you."
"You, too." We hang up. I look at Yui. "Pack your things. We are on our own for a while."
"Why can't we stay with grandpa?" she asks clearly heartbroken.
"He needs to rebuild for us to be there."
"Oh." She gets up and packs the little things she has.
I do the same, but I pack a tent for us. "I'll need to get a job," I mumble.
"Then I will, too!" Yui says hearing me.
"No, sis, you have to stay," I instruct.
"But-"
"No." Then I walk out the door with my things. Yui follows closely behind.
Footnote:
**Yuri means lily in Japanese.
Hello! Wazzup? Haha. No. Man, I just go harder and harder on the two, don't I? Can't I just be nice for once to them? Pfft, no. Well, I'm running out of little ideas. If you, the reader, would like to add something, I'd love to make it happen! I love reviews, too! Anything wrong? Tell me. Want more of something? Tell me. But no twinsest, please? I don't do that stuff. So, if you were looking for it? Wrong FanFictionist- er- author. Now, I'm done rambling. Till next time! Peace!
