Just some disclaimers, this is my story, and I do use some 'mature' language, so if you're not comfortable with that, it's your choice to stay or not. I expect people to be mature enough to read those words, but if it bothers you, then sorry, you were warned, and this is the only warning xx

Much love xx

Brianna:

"Eww!" My roommate squealed and ran from the window, "Jesse's smoking again!" She whined and slammed all our windows shut, away from our downstairs neighbor. I grunted and threw my workout bag on the floor, and took my phone off the dresser and rolled my eyes

"I'll go talk to her" I said coughing, still I have asthma around smoke, and it was coming through the vents. Of course my roommate wouldn't go for me, and I don't blame her. No one talked with Jesse except her boyfriend. And I bet that was only when he wanted sex.

I opened our door and went to the end of the hall and down the stairs I had just came up. I went to her room, exactly 1 room down from mine, to Room 420 or we call it the 'Smoking Lair of Jesse Hegel'. I cleared my throat and saw the smoke already coming out the door cracks. I knocked on the door, and heard fumbling, coming towards the door

"Coming!" I heard her British accent yell, but also cough a little. I backed away and then the door flung open, cigarette in hand. She looked awful. I cleared my throat, and plastered on a smile as she raised an eyebrow and scoffed

"Oh. It's you" She snorted, "Whadda ya want Brianna?" She said in a thick Liverpool accent and I cleared my throat, trying not to not get an asthma attack

"Ahem" I said, "I was wondering if you could smoke outside and not inside, the smoke goes through the vents and I have bad asthma, so it could bring on an attack --"

"Yeah, alright whatever, just don't die" She scoffed. She grabbed her pack of smokes, and phone and wallet, and pushed passed me, with her cigarette in her mouth. Her bony and sharp shoulder slammed into mine, and it felt like she had no meat on her, but I wouldn't be the one to say it. I sighed, rolling my eyes, and went back upstairs to do homework for school tomorrow.

Jessica:

"Nosey bitch" I muttered keeping it lit in my mouth. I went down 4 flights of stairs, before becoming out of breath and sat on the grand stairwell to the street. It was only like 7 steps but these were the steps of broken dreams as we called them here at Sydney's Home for Girls

No, smoking was not good for you, or for me, or for anyone, but my parents got me started on it, and once I got hooked, their smoking killed them. They both had lung cancer, and wanted the same to happen to me, and so did I.

I finished the cigarette, and smushed it into the ground and watched the cars roll by. I looked in my wallet, and I had about $30 left from my paycheck, and needed some stuff at the store down the street. I shrugged, not caring if anyone knew where I was going, and hopped off the ledge and walked down the street. It was a cool Australian night, and I was getting used to this weather. I was wearing some white Chucks, jean shorts, and a tank top. I hadn't showered in a couple days so I looked horrible, but no one really cared, especially because I was also taken.

I was about halfway there when my phone began to ring. Speak of the bleached blonde devil

"Jesse?"

"Yeah who is this?" I asked, knowing it was Brianna

"It's Brianna, are you here? You're things are still on and I was just wondering if you got in ok"

"You don't need to keep tabs on me Brianna, I can handle myself" I spat, "I'm going down to the store to get some things is all" I shrugged, trying to sound less bitchy

"Oh goodness would you want to do me a big favor Jesse since you're there?" She said excitedly and almost begging like. I nearly had a stroke at how high pitched her voice was, "Would you mind picking me up some feminine products?" She whispered, "I'm all out" She said. I rolled my eyes and entered into the Priceline Pharmacy and went to the back to pick up my pills

"Sure what do you use?" I sighed and took out a piece of gum and smacked it loudly

"I just use pads. Thank you so much Jesse, I'll pay you back" She said

"Yeah whatever, I'll drop them off in like 20, alright?" I said and she thanked me again, and I hung up. I got my prescriptions of all my antidepressants, anxiety, and anorexia pills, but clearly none were working

I went to the feminine care aisle and got prissy girl her pads, and some tampons for me. I also grabbed some shampoo and some toothpaste for myself.

I went to the food aisles, and awkwardly stared at it, dreaming of eating again, but I snapped myself out of it, and went to the checkout counter.

"That'll be $14.87" The teenage boy cashier said, smiling at me. I gave a fake smile and took my plastic bag, and walked back home.

Once I entered the building, I went up 5 flights to room 520, 1 directly above me and knocked on the door and waited as I heard voices and shuffling. They sure were slow!

"Hi" The preppy blonde smiled at me, "Here's $10" She said handing me money

"They were only like $5" I shrugged, pushing away her charity, "It's fine"

"Please?" She asked, furrowing her orange eyebrows, "Seriously. You got me them, and brought them to me, just take it" She chuckled and I smacked my gum, and gave a fake grin and shoved it in my pocket

"Thanks" I said, getting irritated

"No, thank you Jesse, see you tomorrow!" She said happily and I turned away before she shut her door, and went down to my room, slamming the door behind me, and plopping into bed, not bothering to do my homework
