Niya POV
I was currently getting ready to go to work .Its a Monday ,so that means that Asia gets to catch up on her school work online .I work as a Certified Nursing Assistant.The little checks that I get from this job barely helps us get by with the little money we have . I really don't know how to feel. My little sister is dying, and I don't know what else to do about it. I barely have the money to keep us afloat. Every day feels like a battle, and I'm constantly juggling between work, hospital visits, and trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy for her.
The medical bills keep piling up, and each envelope I open feels like another weight added to my shoulders. I want to be strong for her, to show her that everything will be okay, but inside, I'm terrified. The thought of losing her is unbearable.
She's so brave, though. Even on her worst days, she manages a smile that lights up the room. Her laughter is like music in a world that's otherwise so silent and heavy with worry. I try to capture those moments, hold onto them tightly, because they're the ones that remind me why I keep fighting.I have been thinking about working sixteen hour shifts on the weekends.Hoping that I can save up enough money,so that I can help my sister .
*I got into my car ,and slammed my door .*
"I forgot to take my medicine.I just know today is gonna be a fucked up day ."
*time flys ,and Niya heads home .*

Dezmon POV
*After Class*
"Are you sure you are okay?" I ask Niya, noticing her silence. She's been quiet more than usual, and sometimes that's not a good sign.
She forces a smile, but I can see the worry on her face. "Just tired," she replies softly. I want to reach out, to pull her into a hug and tell her it's okay to not be okay.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I press gently, hoping she'll open up.
She shakes her head, looking down at her hands. "It's just... my sister."
I nod, understanding the weight of her words. "I'm here for you, whatever you need."
Her eyes meet mine, and for a moment, I see the flicker of gratitude beneath her sadness. "Thanks, Dezmon. It just feels like everything is falling apart."
"Then let me help hold it together," I say, determined to be there for her. We may not have all the answers, but at least we can face this together.
"How about I walk you home later." I said
"Sure just meet me at my locker."Said Niya
*gives her a hug *
"Alright see you then ." I said
*I seen my cousins walking up to me.*
"Yo Dezmon I see you fuckin with the stuck up bitch ."said Raymond
"Ray shut yo punk ass up .Bitch ass nigga .Stay trying to call someone out they name."Said Trey
"I'm wit Trey on this one you need to chill on shorty .Dont even know her name good enough to be trying to call her out her name." I said
*Dapps Trey and Raymond up giving them each dime bags slickly in there hands.*
"Go handle that for me dixks."I said then walked off
