(Same Day)

Carter barely made it through half the movie before falling asleep on Harry. I picked her up in my arms.

"I should probably take her to bed." He nodded, so I made my way upstairs and into her room placing her under the covers. I got up to leave but I heard her soft voice speak.

"Ryder is Harry your boyfriend?" I smiled at her.

"No Carter."

"He should be, I would date him." I laughed out loud, my baby sister had a crush on Harry Styles.

"So why don't you?"

"Because he wont like me since I take all my medicines." I frowned wondering who ever told her that.

"Why do you say that?"

"People at school say I take too many medicines beçause I'm weird."

I stroked her hair softly,"Those people don't know what they're talking about. You're perfect, and beautiful, and sweet and I love you ok?"

"I wuv you Ryder." She sleepily smiled.

I sang softly to her as she drifted off to sleep, then I spotted Harry in the doorway. My eyes went wide, he probably just heard everything, and my singing. Talk about awkward. I kissed her lightly on the forehead before walking swiftly out of the room, closing the door behind me.

Harry smiled,"She's quite cute."

We walked downstairs together collapsing on the couch, exhausted from Carter watch. She was like a jumping bean man. The credits rolled across the screen so I changed the channel, flipping through them until landing on America's Next Top Model. Harry gave me a funny look.

"It's a good show." I defended.

"Sureeee." I punched his arm playfully turning back to the tv. A comfortable silence fell between the pair of us, as Tyra Banks was yelling at some girl on the show. Harry then spoke up.

"Can I ask you a question?" I nodded giving him permission to proceed speaking,"Why does Carter have to take so much medication?" I shifted uncomfortably in my chair,"I mean you don't have to tell me, It's none of my business, I should'nt have asked..."

I spoke casually,"She has cancer."

"Oh I'm sorry..."

I cut him off,"Don't apoligize, my family has had enough charity to last a lifetime."

"Still..."

"I don't need your pity." I spit, my voice laced with venom.

My complete mood change caught him by surpise, but what I said was true. I was so tired of people showing us pity just because we had a broken family. They treated us different. Maybe my mother needs to cope, but I didn't. I couldn't take it. I didn't want to be treated like a child, that's probably the reason why I tried so hard to act like an adult. Drugs, drinking, sex. But look where that had gotten me.

Behind bars.

"Look I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you or anything..."

"Just forget it ok?" He nodded turning back to the tv, I took out my phone turning on the lock screen to check the time. 11:01 p.m. All of a sudden Harry's phone rang, he quickly took his phone out of his jean pocket pressing answer call.
