Her mother became a drunk before Lana's only sibling ran away. Lana, luckily, has a best friend-Aaron. Aaron was her other part, the part she needed. At school they call each other "brother" and "sister". Well, as Lana got older she and Aaron slowly starts a friend group, starting in middle school. The group only got bigger by high school. Lana starts to drink at the ripe age of thirteen and by sixteen, she's already addicted to drugs and cigarettes. No matter how much she drunk, smoked, and snorted, nothing changed.

She got Bs and Cs on average, while Jin was opposite, always getting A+s. He wasn't a bad kid, rarely went to parties, while Lana was always there of she heard there was a party. All of a sudden she gets interested in Jin. She finds herself studying him every chance she gets. Not long after, she runs into Jin during her shift. They recognized each other and talked for hours after her shift.Right after that, she told Aaron. She had told Aaron about her past boyfriends, but Jin is different. She was excited to talk about him and Aaron noticed.

Every time Lana tried to confess her love to him, the war in her mind always stopped her. She's not good for him, she'd tell herself and just brush off her feelings. But everything changed when Jin saw her smoking with her friends. Will their friendship ever be the same?
