Midnight Delivery

Chapter 4. You're Crying

It wasn't 30 minutes later that Dayna was pulled out of her thoughts due to the smell of smoke lingering in her open window. It flicked a switch in Daynas head, her craving for the cigarette taking over.

Dayna had been smoking a year now but since she arrived at the house she hadn't had a single cig, afraid that the family might disapprove.

She traveled across the room and over to the window where she saw a girl with blonde hair out in the front yard. Sitting on a bench, the slim girl, covered in tattoos, pulled the cig to her mouth, taking a pull.

Dayna hadn't even thought before she leaped away from the window and out her bedroom door.

Quietly making her way downstairs, she slipped out the front door, immediately catching the attention of the blonde haired girl.

"Hi.." The young girl said, awkwardly moving towards the older woman.

"Hello" the girl was English and wore a big smile on her face "you must be Dayna" she put her hand out to shake the brunettes.

Dayna nodded shyly with a smile "that would be me" she shook her hand.

"I'm Cher" the girl finally released her identity "Demi's been talking about you for the last 20 minutes" she chuckled

"She has?" Dayna said worriedly.

"All good things, it's okay" the British girl caught on to Daynas uneasiness.

"Okay good" Dayna released a breath and looked at cher, releasing a nervous breath, she spoke shyly "you wouldn't happen to have a spare cig would you?" She chewed on her bottom lip, Cher's eyebrows going up surprised.

"Uh.... Does Demi know?" She asked a little unsure of what to do. If Demi knew that her sister smoked Cher would be happy to give it to her. She knows what it's like to crave a cigarette and she wouldn't wish it on her worst enemy.

Dayna sighed lightly "Uuuh no" she mumbled.

"I can't go behind her back" Cher said gently and Dayna nodded understanding "you know if you tell Demi she'll be okay" Cher chuckled "she's not gonna give out to you for a habit you picked up before you guys even met" she said gently.

Dayna knew Cher was right about that. She sat down and looked out at the street, a few cars passing by "I know, I just.. I don't want to disappoint her" she looked at Cher.

"You wouldn't be disappointing her" Cher replied "Demi cares about you.. It won't upset her honestly. At most she'll just be worried about your health, as does everyone's families when they find out someone they care about smokes.." Cher saw the distressed look on Dayna's face and came up with a suggestion.

"If you want" Cher turned to her slightly "I could tell Demi.. And ask her would it be alright to give you cigarette?"

Dayna was a bit unsure but as the smoke off of Cher's cig filled her lungs, she threw away any fears and nodded "are you sure though?" she looked up.

"Of course" Cher smiled standing up. She took her last pull of the cig and put it out before throwing it into the trash can "I'll be back in a minute" she placed her hand on Dayna's shoulder giving it a reassuring squeeze, before disappearing inside.

Dayna was nervous.. What if Demi would be angry with her? What if she didn't want her to stay....

She didn't even realise how deep she was in thought until Cher had to literally shake her out of her trance.

"Hey" Cher chuckled "you dazed off" she smiled.

Dayna blushed embarrassed at what happened.. But then became worried that Cher was now back with an answer.
