\u201cNo matter how much it hurts, is it worth losing me?\u201d <\/p>\n

The question hangs in the air as I think about the needles and IVs. I stare into her deep, slightly squinty chestnut eyes. I want to scream, \u201cnothing is worth losing you,\u201d but my stubborn side doesn\u2019t let me.
I turn to look out the window and watch a flock of birds disappear into the hot, July sun. My stomach clenches as I think what my life would be without her\u2014 terrifying, lonely, and empty. She\u2019s more than my big sister, she\u2019s my best friend.
She was there when my six-year-old self was too scared of the dark to go to bed. She was there when I fell off my bike and ended up with an egg sized lump on my forehead. And she was there to hold me, as my favorite dog died.
While everybody else sees a simple, sheltered girl\u2014 she\u2019s the only one who sees the real, hidden me.<\/p>\n

But ten years ago, losing her almost became my reality. She was in the middle of fighting Hemolytic- Uremic Syndrome\u2014 kidney failure. My four-year-old self watched my sister lie, small and fragile in a hospital bed. Confused and blurry, I didn\u2019t understand what was happening, but I sensed it was bad.
As she grew sicker, her chances to survive decreased. But after two long months, a miracle happened\u2014her kidneys began working. She was able to come home and continue her role as my mentor and role model. I was able to fall into her shadow.
She taught me how to block out my parents fighting and get lost in books. I\u2019d escape to my adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I\u2019d cry as I drove away, leaving Noah behind without a goodbye, and I\u2019d fall in love with Mr. Darcy against my will. This not only sparked my love of reading, but helped me recognize my dream of becoming a journalist.
She taught me through hard work and lots of sweat what it felt to become a varsity sprinter. That no matter how much my body hurt, the worst thing I could do was give up.
And she taught me how to be who I am today.
She\u2019s raised me more than my parents, showing me how to be the best person I can be. She helped me control my temper and fight my stubborn side. She never judged me when I made a mistake. She helped me grow, fix, and learn.
That\u2019s why when her kidneys start to fail again, I\u2019ll be there. Regardless of my hatred of needles and fear of hospitals, I\u2019ll go through surgery and take the six-inch scar for her. I owe her more than one of my kidneys\u2014I owe her everything that I am today.
Realizing this, I turn around and examine her face that\u2019s almost identical to mine. Her eyebrows are raised, silently asking for my answer.
So I just shake my head and whisper, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
