This is my first time of writing a story so please no hate and give it a chance cause it might seem boring at the start but it gets better haha. Enjoy ! ~

I wake to the most annoying sound in the world. My alarm clock. I look at the time, 6:30am I groan, hit the snooze button and try to go back to sleep when my mum comes in to my room.
" Come on Chloe honey, wake up, you don't want to be late for school again, " She says softly.
" I'm up " I reply as I reluctantly get out of bed.
I walk over to my mum and hug her, she looks so weak. She hugs me back tightly. I love her hugs so much.
"I love you mum" I say
"I love you too Chloe, so much" she replies in her soft voice.
We stand in a hug for a little while when she pulls away.
" I better go and wake your sister up, see if she wants to go to school today" She says walking to my sister, Zoey's room.
"It's okay mum I'll do it, you go back to bed "
She smiles at me and walks down the long hallway towards her room.
"Mum" I call to her.
"Yes sweetie ?"
"Do you need anything ? Your medication or-" she stops me.
"No I'm fine thank you though, I'll take it later today, you have a good day at school okay ?" She smiles.
"Yeah I will" I smile back at her. Im trying not to break down and cry in that moment, I know I have to be the strong one around here, for my mum and Zoey.
I walk towards Zoey's room, knock on the door and walk in. She's just sitting there, her knees to her chest, hugging them tightly.
"You okay ?" I walk to her, and give her a soft hug, knowing she's not okay.
"Yeah I'm fine" She lies.
I see a tear escape her face, I wipe it.
"We've got to get ready for school Zo, you want to go today or not ?" I ask
Sometimes she doesn't feel like going to school, which I understand. If I had depression I wouldn't want to go to school either.
" Um, yeah I'll go today I guess" She replies obviously not wanting to go.
"You sure ?"
"Yeah, I haven't been all week I should probably try and catch up on everything."
"Okay well if you need me, I'll be here, you know that" I say smiling at her.
"I know" she smiles a small smile back.
I walk out of her room, I sigh, I hate seeing her like this. Zoey has had depression since she was 13, she's 15 now. Our life started going downhill about 3 years ago, when we found out that mum has bone cancer in her leg. She has a rare one called chondrosarcoma. She has a high grade tumor and the doctors are trying their best to remove all the tumor's but they are growing really fast, there is a whole bunch of other stuff but I don't understand it. Mum is always really sore and tired. Luckily she doesn't have to go through chemotherapy or anything like that because the cancer she has doesn't respond to it or something, but the doctors seem to be getting more and more worried and every time I go I'm petrified that they're going to say those words. "There's nothing more we can do."
Our dad is always working to give mum everything, a nice house, nice clothes, but what he doesn't understand is that we need him here, I can't be the strong one anymore. Zoey is getting weaker and I'm really worried, she's tried to commit suicide twice in the last 2 years. It's getting too much for her, she thinks mum is dying and her and mum are really close, she's also really insecure although like everyone who is insecure, she is beautiful. She doesn't have any friends at school which I don't understand. She is the nicest person you could ever meet once you get to know her. I think people are scared of her because she dresses like emo. I just don't know anymore.
I stop my thoughts before I explode my brain.
I walk to my room taking a deep breath while I get ready for school.
