"Good morning"
I smiled at Georgia who yawned next to the fire.

The sky was just turning into day and it looked to be twenty minutes before six in the morning so I knew nobody else would be up soon.

"Good morning"
She smiled tucking her book next to her thigh.

"Coffee?"
I held out the extra cup I made just in case she wanted it.

She nodded taking the cup Shyly.

"Whatcha reading?"

"All of me, by Toby-"

"I met that guy"
I smiled.

She smiled back at me holding her coffee cup in both hands.
"He's a great author, but I feel like my sister is a way better writer than that, and if he got all the hype then I can't wait too see what she gets"

I smiled blushing at the future of her success.
"She finishes that book and she's got the world at her feet"

"Like you?"

I shook my head
"I don't have the world at my feet, I have places I can go, but it won't be beautiful unless I have great people to take with me along the way"

"Your sister taught me a little something about moments and memories"
I added, staring at my feet shyly

She giggled shaking her head lightly.
"Someone actually took her advice, wow"

I laughed and sipped my coffee.
"She cares about you a lot, I don't know your situation but I know that it's just you an her right now and she's going to make it work for you guys"

"You think so? When a alcoholic tells you there's nothing wrong when the house has no running water and theres a fifth of whiskey glued to there palms you can't really live with that"

I nodded, acting like I knew what she was going through but I didn't.
"People have addictions, people can over come addictions, but it's not who they are as a person, that is your father don't give up hope yet"

She smiled softly at me nodding.
"I want to get him help"

"Want me to help?"
I spoke without thinking to much about it

She shrugged and stared down at the ground.
"I don't even know if you could"

"I can place him in a rehab facility for the period of time it would be to break him from being dependent on alcohol, and I'd pay the bills at the house"

She bit her lip.
"Reagan wouldn't like you doing that"

I nodded
"This is you an me, you're 15, you still need him, Reagan is 18, she needs him to but she can be on her own"

She nodded finishing her coffee
"Okay"

I nodded standing up
"I'm here for you anytime Georgia, Just whenever you need me, I'll be there"

She smiled down at the fire nodding, I felt like it was the right thing to do, to help Georgia , but I knew Reagan would be upset if she knew I dug into her personal life like that without her letting me in.

I walked into RV pulling my phone from the charger, I had a missed call from my mother.

"Hello?"
It rang through several times.

"Hey Katie, just calling to let you know that Leah is in town, she flew in to take a break from ballet, she broke her ankle"

"Damn"
I shook my head

"Did you just cuss?"
Her voice got stern

"No- I said dang"

"Dang ankle, broken ankle"
I cleared my throat.
