Walking into Aleysa's room with a glass of orange juice and two slices of toast I place it on the nightstand.

Aleysa looks at me. "You're not staying, Chloe. You should leave me alone and find a better job."

Picking up the brush I brush her hair. "No, Aleysa. I'm not going to leave you alone. You're my sister and I love you. I know you're going through a hard time now. Please, stop pushing me away."

Tears well in her beautiful brown eyes. "I'm sick and tired of being sick, Chloe. I have my good days and bad days. One day the bad days are going to become worst and I'm going to die." She wraps her arms around me. "Mom and Dad were prepared for me to die the first time I had cancer. When I go. You have to call Mom and Dad's lawyers."

"Why?"

She looks away. "They left a Will in my name for Nate and you. That's all I can tell you. I was given specific instructions from Mom and Dad to reveal certain things to you at the right time.

Did they get Aleysa a Will? They knew the cancer was going to come back? Or did they prepare it just in case it came back?

Aleysa touches my face. "Mom and Dad love Nate and you. Things will make sense when you see the Lawyer after my death." She reaches over to the table and picks up the glass of orange juice and drinks some. "I don't want anything to eat." She rises. "I'm going to get ready for the hospital."

Rising I take the glass and plate back to the kitchen.

Jai is in the kitchen when I walk in. He smiles. "Morning, baby."

Wrapping my arms around him, I say. "Good morning."

He kisses my head. "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Shaking my head. "I was too busy making something for Aleysa. She doesn't want to eat anything. She had a glass of orange juice though."

"At least she had something to drink. Do you want me to go to the hospital later and sit with her while you get lunch?"

"That would be great. Maybe, that would get her out of her bad mood."

He chuckles. "I don't know about that. I heard what she said earlier about you looking for a job."

"Eavesdropper."

Jai steps away from me. "I'm looking for someone to run the bar during the day and help me with accounting. I'm not good at that type of thing. I spend hours in the office trying to do that. I would rather be behind the bar then stuck up in the office."

"Can I do the books from home at night?"

"I'll bring the books home tonight, so you can go through it. Will you work at the bar during the day?"

"What time does the bar open during the day and what time will I be home?"

"The bar opens at 2 and I need you there until 5 when the night bar manager comes in. I will be at home until 7. After that, I need to go to the bar and I won't be home until 2 am."

"I'll do it. It will make Aleysa happy that I'm working. What are you making for breakfast?"

"I'm making bacon and eggs. Do you want some?"

"Nah, I think I'll have some toast. Where's Nate?"

My brother walks into the kitchen. "Hey, sis." He looks at Jai. "Hey, man. Do you have some for me?"

Jai puts the eggs and bacon on a plate. He turns towards Nate. "I do. Your sister didn't want any. I was going to surprise her with breakfast."

Hitting his arm. "No, you weren't."

Nate looks around the room. "Where's Aleysa?"

"She in her room getting ready for the hospital."

He shakes his head. "I hate seeing her like this again, Chloe." He looks at me. "When she got sick the first time Mom and Dad spent a lot of time with their Lawyers. Do you think they were making a Will for Aleysa?"

Looking at him, I say. "They did."

"How do you know?"

"Aleysa told me. She said when she dies that I need to call the Lawyers. What could Mom and Dad be hiding that they needed to set something like this up with our sister?"

He shrugs. "Maybe it has something to do with the stories Mom and told Aleysa when we were growing up."

"What stories?"

He takes a seat. "I used to spend a lot of time in my room. One night I had to do piss and I walked by Aleysa's room. She said, "I want to hear Daddy and your story." I forgot about going to take a piss and I stood close to the door. Mom sat on her bed. Mom said 'My parents own this huge company that I was supposed to take over when I turned twenty-five. I didn't want anything to do with it as I had a daughter that I wanted to spend time with and a husband who was more important than the company that my parents wanted me to take over. So, my husband and I left our home town. A couple of years later I had a son with my husband and a few more years later I had another daughter. My family was completed with two daughters and a son. All the money in the world wouldn't have made me happy. What made me happy was the family I started with my husband and I don't regret turning my back on the money, the company and being disowned by my parents."

That's why we don't know anything about Mom's side of the family. What company is he talking about? Is it still running? How much money did Mom turn her back on for the family she had with Dad?

Aleysa walks into the kitchen. "Are you ready to go, Chloe?" She looks around the room. "Did someone die?"

Shaking my head. "No, we were talking about the stories that Mom and Dad told you when you were growing up."

She looks at Nate. "You told her?"

He nods. "I was listening in on everything that Mom and Dad told you."

Aleysa crosses her arms. "You weren't supposed to hear those stories. It was supposed to be for my ears only."

At 9 am I pull the car into the parking lot of the hospital. "We need to go inside."

She shakes her head. "Why can't they let me do chemo at home? At least you won't be bored."

Touching her hand. "I won't be bored. I have you to talk to and I have my Mac to keep me entertained. Jai will be here at lunchtime. He's going to keep you company while I have lunch."

"I don't want him to see me hooked up to all those machines."

"He's already seen you hooked to machines."

"That was when I had the drip in my arm. He wasn't there when I was having chemo. You were always there though."
