Chapter one shattered
Adia signed heavily as the droplets rain fell on her, she was just returning from work.she quickly rushed into the house
"Addison"she called out to her sister's name tiredly as she was very exhausted from the days work.
"Addison am home"she called out again as she dropped her purse on the couch and dusted off her hair.
"I'm home Addison" she called again, this time with a little hint of worry in her voice.
She was beginning to get worried, Addison was usually the first to see and sat Hi.
Adia walked about the room, trying to see if she would at least see her.
Probably she's sleeping, Adia thought.
She noticed a small petite figure on the floor at the corner of the room.
"Addison!!" Squealed rushing to her sister who was lying unconsciously on the ground.
She noticed the warm liquid flowing down her sister's mouth, as her eyes opened wide like saucers.
"Hang in there adi"she whispered softly to he as she picked her up from the floor.
She rushed to the couch as she took her cellphone from her purse and dialed her best friend cora number
"Hello cora" "what's up girl"cora said cheerfully
"Adi"Adia stammered
"come on Adia what's wrong, why do you sound tense "
"Addison I found her on…. hospital I need to take her there , I'm on my way over there" Adia quickly said as she hung up .
"Hello,hello Adia are you there"cora asked as she checked her phone.
"Fuck she hunged up"
Cora cursed as she took her purse and dashed out of the hotel where she works as a manager.

"Nurse, nurse"Adia shouted terrified of what just happened she hoped nothing would happen to Addison. She carried the unconscious Addison in her arms as screamed for help.
"Nurse please check what's wrong with her, I met her unconscious,please do something" Adia cried as the nurses placed Addison in a stretcher and left hurriedly.

"Adia are you okay? I got here as fast as I could, how's Addison,what did the doctors say?" Cora asked in concern as she really felt bad for Adia, Addison was the only family she had left she just hoped nothing would go wrong.
"Come on Adia say something" she added sitting beside her as Adia was sobbing silently.
"They are still checking on her, I haven't met the doctor yet" Adia finally answered in between sobs.
" It's gonna be fine" Cora assured consoling her as she patted her back slowly. Moments later a nurse came in and called Adia to the doctor's office as Adia went there as fast as her legs could carry her while Cora waited behind.
Adia got into the office and met the doctor scribbling on a piece of paper.
"Please seat miss, I assume you must be miss peters the patient's sister, right? The doctor asked as he gestured fot her to take her seat.
"Thanks doctor,yes I am, please what's wrong with Addison?" Adia asked anxiously immediately she took her seat.
"Please miss you need to calm down, your sister Addison has been diagnosed with leukemia" said the doctor.
"what do you mean doctor, le…ukemia!!!!" Adia screamed in horror as the doctor dropped the bomb.
Hope am hearing wrong?, Adia asked in her thoughts
"She's suffering from leukemia and has to be treated right away" the doctor added as Adia just stared into outer space like someone in a trance.
"Then start the treatment right away" Adia quickly said as she jolted back to the present, as she felt her soul leaving he body.
"Well you'll have to deposit some money first for us to commerce the treatment"
"How much is it doctor?" Adia asked hoping that the sum shouldn't be a huge sum.
"Three million dollars" the doctor announced.
"What!!!!!" Adia exclaimed as she burped loudly where was she gonna start from, she literally didn't have that kind of money.
"Thanks doctor" Sha flashed a fake smile at the doctor as she stood up walking out of the office like someone whose soul has been drawn out from the body.

"Addison dear how you feeling now, hope you're feeling better?" Adia asked worriedly as Addison nodded slowly.
"I'll be going out for a while, so have some rest,hmmm" Adia added as she pecked her forehead.
"You gat to stay strong ughh, I'll be back" Adia waved at Addison as she left the room with her friend.
"Cora am doomed, what do I do?" Adia was really devastated at the moment it just felt as if Life was being taken from her at this moment.
"It's gonna be fine, just stay strong for Addison and also you need to rest also, Look at you looking all worked up. Come on tomorrow we'll talk about this but first have some rest" Cora encouraged as she really felt pity for Adia, she's really being through alot these days.
"No Cora, I can't rest how can I possibly rest when the only family I have left is suffering there" Adia sobbed as cora hugged her patting her back softly at least it was an efficient way to calm someone down.
"Come on girl it will be fine, besides you can't save Addison on your sick bed so need to get all worked up"
"But co….."
"no buts Adia" Cora interuptted as she held hands with her.
"Let's go" Cora finally persuaded her as they walked slowly and quietly out of the hospital.
Adia fervently prayed within her that everything would be alright, Addison was the only family, she had left, where was she expected to get there million dollars.
Her and her sister were already managing and already has lots of expenses to take care of.
Now a bigger trouble has landed on her plate and a person's life is involved in this voice, Adia could do nothing but wish for the best, as she continued sobbing, Cora consoling her alongside as they got into Cora's car.
