I woke up and immediately knew something was wrong. You know that weird gut feeling you get before your brain even catches up to what's happening. Yeah, that. The bed was too still. Way too still. Usually, when I wake up, the first thing I notice is the gentle rise and fall of her chest. Jenna always breathed deeply, even in sleep. Sometimes it was almost like a lullaby, you know.

That steady rhythm was comforting. But this morning? Nothing. Just stillness. Unnatural, heavy stillness. I didn't even want to open my eyes at first. I think some part of me already knew, deep down. But habit won out, and I turned my head slightly, reaching out. My hand found her arm. Cold. Not just a little cool like she'd kicked off the blanket. I mean cold. Like basement floor in the in the middle of winter cold. My fingers recoiled on instinct, like I'd touch dry ice or something equally wrong. My heart stuttered, and I sat bolt upright. Jenna? My voice cracked like it hadn't been used in weeks. No answer. She always mumbles or grunts or something when I wake her up. But she just lay there. Limp. Still. Her head tilted back at a weird angle, her mouth a little open. eyes half-litted like she'd been caught in the middle of a blink. I said her name again, louder.

Still nothing. I shook her shoulder, gently at first, then harder. Her whole body moved in this sick, puppet-like way, no resistance. Just, flopping. I started babbling then, nonsense stuff. No, no, no, come on, Jenna. Don't do this. Wake up, please.

You always wake up. I don't remember pulling out my phone. My hands were shaking so badly I dropped it the first time. Picked it up, somehow managed to get to the emergency screen. I think I pressed 911 like five times. When the operator answered, I was already sobbing. Trying to explain something I didn't understand myself. My twin, she's dead, I think, no, she's not breathing. and we, look, we're conjoined, okay. I need help. I need someone now. Ma'am, please stay calm. Help is on the way. Stay calm. I was literally stuck to a corpse. You ever try to stay calm when the person who's literally part of your body has died? Because I promise you, it's not possible. I could already feel something was wrong inside me too. Like our shared organs, those beautiful,

weird miracles that kept us alive together, were starting to glitch. My heartbeat was out of rhythm. My breath came in shallow gulks. I was dizzy. Everything felt, slow. Every second dragged. I tried to sit up, tried to get away from her, but our body didn't work like that. Our torsos were fused from ribcage to hip.

We each had one lung, one kidney, one liver, and we shared a heart. One heart. That's what the doctors always said. That was the miracle and the curse. One heart between two people. And now half that equation was gone. Was the heart still mine? Still working? Or just winding down? I could smell her. It wasn't strong yet, but it was there, the tiniest hint of death. Something sour and metallic. A smell I instinctively recoiled from, even though it came from her. From us. The paramedics burst in finally.

I must have screamed when they opened the door, but I don't remember doing it. I just remember their faces, the shock, the confusion, the pity. They were trained for trauma, but not this. Not a living girl sewn to a dead one. They surrounded me, careful, clinical. One of them placed a hand on my shoulder and said something, I don't remember what. I just kept saying, please, don't let me die too. I don't want to die, but they didn't promise anything.

How could they? They couldn't separate us, not right then, not without major surgery, and we didn't have time. My body was failing. Our body was failing. That one, overworked heart could only do so much. I felt it, every week beat, every pause that lasted just a little too long. It was surreal. My vision swam, and the room tilted. One of the EMTs shouted something about blood pressure. They were moving fast, doing what they could, but I knew. I knew I wasn't going to make it.

I closed my eyes. Not because I was giving up, but because I didn't want to see their faces anymore. The mixture of horror and pity. I didn't want to remember Jenna like that either. Cold and slack, her lips parted like she tried to say something before she died. We'd always talked about what would happen if one of us died. It was one of those morbid twin jokes we used to make as kids, you better not die first, if you go, I go, that kind of thing. But we never really thought it would happen.

Not like this. not suddenly, not without warning. I used to wonder what it'd be like to be alone. Just me. My own body. My own space. But this? This wasn't freedom.

This was horror. This was being marooned on an island made of your own skin, tethered to someone you love who isn't there anymore. They kept trying. I.Vs, oxygen, heart monitor pads. I felt the jab of a needle in my arm, but it was distant, like it was happening to someone else. Everything was distant. Like the world was receding from me, inch by inch.

I remember a voice. A woman's voice, soft and close. Maybe a paramedic. Maybe someone I imagined. She said, you're not alone. We're here, but I was alone. was gone. And without her, what was left of me? My thoughts drifted. I started thinking about stupid stuff, like the time we switched places in sixth grade to mess with our teacher. Jenna

couldn't stop laughing and got us caught. Or the time we cried so hard at Titanic that our dad threatened to ban movies forever. Or how she used to hum in the shower. She was terrible at singing, but it made me smile every time. I didn't want to go. I didn't want to die. But I could feel it. The heart, our heart, was quitting. They said my name.

Over and over. I wanted to answer. I really did. But my mouth wouldn't move. My lips were heavy. My body, heavier. I thought maybe I'd see her again. wherever people go when they die.

I hoped I would. I hoped she'd be waiting. Then, nothing. But somehow, that wasn't the end. I woke up in a hospital bed. Alone. Alone in a way I'd never been before. It took me a minute to understand what had happened.

My chest hurt like hell. My side felt like it was on fire. There were machines beeping. tubes, bandages, a nurse standing over me. You're awake, she said, smiling. Like it was good news. Like it wasn't the end of the world. I didn't say anything. I just reached to my side. Nothing. just me. They told me later that they managed to do an emergency separation. That the surgeons worked through the night. That it was a miracle I survived. A miracle. I didn't feel lucky. I felt hollow. Half a person. Not in the poetic sense. Literally. My body had been restructured, rebuilt.

I had new organs now, donor pieces from people I'd never know. No. But they weren't ours. They were mine. Just mine. And I hated it. The silence was the worst part. The absence.

Jenna had always been there, physically, emotionally, spiritually. She was the anchor to my every moment. And now she was just, gone. I couldn't hear her breathing. Couldn't feel her shift in sleep. Couldn't reach out and know she was wrong. right there. The hospital offered therapy. Counseling. All the usual steps. I nodded through it all, said what they wanted to hear. But inside, I was screaming. I started dreaming of her.

Every night. Sometimes she was alive, laughing, joking. Other times, she was like she was that morning, cold, slack, unreachable. I'd wake up sweating, gasping for breath, half convinced I'd died too and just hadn't realized it yet. They eventually let me go home. Or, well, to a new place. Somewhere accessible. Somewhere healing. I didn't care. It was just a box with a bed. I didn't know who I was without her. People ask dumb questions. Do you feel different? Are you happy to be free? As if this was some Disney storyline where the princess gets to live her own life now. But it wasn't a fairy tale.

It was a horror story with a weird epilogue. I didn't feel free. I felt amputated. Sometimes I talk to her. Out loud. In the shower. In bed. I know it's crazy.

I know she's not there. But I can't stop. I don't want to stop. She was my sister, my twin, my other half, and I survived her. I don't know why, but I did, and I'm still figuring out what to do with that.
