Chapter 4

Haley sighed as she walked into the room and sat down next to her brother.

She looked at him with sad eyes.

They both looked the same in every way.

They both had the same bronze hair and if you looked close enough into their eyes you can tell that Haley's eyes were less green and her brother Edward's was a little darker than hers.

Haley was a little bit shorter than her brother and her hair ran to her shoulders.

They had the same colour hair as their fathers.

The only way to actually tell them apart was to look them carefully in the eyes and look at their height.

She and her brother were both very stubborn but sometimes Haley could be more stubborn than her brother was.

They had got that from their father's side.

But when she looked into her brother's eyes at this moment they were the same color as hers now.

It was all because he was dying of a terrible and horrible illness.

He was dying of Spanish Influenza.

The very same illness as her parents was fighting their lives and died for.

She closed her eyes as she thought about her parents. 'It doesn't matter anymore because there dead and can't come back. People who have died can't come back from the dead. That's impossible. My parents can't come back from the dead. It's not possible for them to come back. They can't have another chance at life again.'

He looked at her eyes and said. "You've been crying." Haley flinched.

"I can tell." He continued. "Don't worry sister. It's ok to let go baby."

'He can read me like a rock.' She thought.

She sat down on a chair next to her brother. "I don't want you to die brother. Mother and Father have just passed away a few minutes ago." she said to her twin. "I'm going to be alone after you go."

"Don't worry about me baby." Edward said weakly. "You have to start worrying about yourself for now on." He coughed roughly.

His face was full of sweat.

Haley sighed and grabbed her brother's thin sweaty hand and squeezed it slightly.

He hadn't eaten in a few days which caused her to worry about him further.

They were now all with no family left for them to turn too.

"I want to die." Haley said as she looked down at her hands and winced.

She knew that would cause a reaction from Edward.

Edward's eyes widened at that comment and slowly shook his head.

'Thought so.'

Haley could see that it hurt him to do so.

"No you don't….." he replied. "Don't ever say that Haley. You don't want to die."

Haley's head snapped up to look into his eyes and said. "Yes I do."

Edward ignored her and continued. "You've got a future ahead of you Haley. A bright and happy future ahead. Don't waste it on wishful thinking like that. That's just plain stupid to be thinking like that. I know that you're smarter than that."

"Edward Mother and Father are gone. There dead. They can't come back." Haley said stubbornly. "You're going to be next, my friends abandoned me the second they found out what you, mother and father were dying off and to top it off the doctors are thinking of sending me to an orphanage. I've heard them talking about where they wanted to send me. I haven't got a future ahead of me Edward. Not without you by my side helping me day by day. I'm going to be alone!" Her eyes welled up as she thought about her parents again. "I don't want to be alone. I need you by my side brother."

She was almost getting to the point of yelling.

She had to calm down for Edward's sake.

"Haley calm down." Edward said as he grabbed her hand and squeezed it slightly. "It's going to be alright you'll see. Everything will work out on its own somehow. Trust me little sister."

Edward had always protected his younger sister from the world and Haley had always loved him for that.

"I trust you Edward. Always and forever." Haley replied. "You know I do."

Someone walked into the room and came to stand behind her.

He put his hand on her shoulder and Haley flinched away from his ice-cold hand.

He didn't notice her reaction to his ice-cold hand when he touched her.

"Miss Haley I'm afraid that it's time for you to leave." He said. "There is a car waiting outside to take you away."

He was pale-faced and had blonde hair and he was very handsome.

Haley turned to look up into his face. 'Dr Carlisle Cullen.'

She turned to face him.

She had seen him treat Edward and her mother and father every day and trusted him with her life if she ever needed it.

For a while she even had a crush on Dr Cullen but it didn't last very long when she found out that the doctor was married.

He was such amazing doctor and Haley admired him for that.

Dr Cullen was the only one in the hospital who didn't wear a mask over his face.

"Doctor I know that you did your best to save my parents." Haley said as she sighed. "But Dr Cullen you have to save my brother and to make him better with all your strength and with all your power you must help him survive this disease."

She looked into his butterscotch eyes with her sad green eyes.

She often would be entranced just by looking into his eyes but today wasn't one of those days.

She was determined to get what she wanted.

"Please do this for me. You're the best doctor around Chicago. Anywhere for that matter. I don't know anyone that's better than you are at what you do. You're amazing! You're the only one that I know that I can trust. I know that you're the only one who can heal my brother of this terrible disease. I know that you have the power to heal him if you at least try. I don't want to see my brother die of this stupid disease. His the only one that I have left. I don't want to lose anyone else because of this stupid disease."

Dr Cullen looked startled.

But a second later he nodded.

"I'll try to do my best to help your brother. I promise you that I'll try my hardest to help him. I'll try to heal him for you. I'm very sorry about what's happening in your life miss Haley. You've lost those who were dear to you."

Haley sighed with relief and turned back to her brother and kissed him on the forehead. 'Thank you. At least I know that he'll get better somehow. Hopefully. I have to trust that Dr Cullen will make him better.'

He smiled slightly. "Goodbye baby sister. I want you to do something for me." He said weakly his voice coming out hazily with every breath.

'I think his getting closer to dying now.' She thought sadly.

"Anything brother."

"I want you to promise me that when you leave here not to look back." He said. "Look to the future. Please will you do this for me?"

Haley nodded. "I will brother. I promise you that I'll never look back. I'll keep moving forward. No matter what the situation is."

His chest rose as his breathe came out in chunks.

He only had hours or minutes left.

'His getting closer.'

"If I really do get better as Dr Cullen said then I'll try and search for you. I promise you that. I'll never give up until I've found you and were back together again. No matter how far away you are. I will not rest until I find you again."

Haley half smiled. "Then I'll be waiting for you. No matter how long it takes. I'll keep on waiting for you to find me. Goodbye big brother." She said as left Dr Cullen with Edward.

She stopped by the open door and turned to Dr Cullen and said. "Dr Cullen please take good care of my brother."

Dr Cullen nodded. "I will Haley. Good bye. I promise that I'll take good care of your brother."
