I take one last glance over at my sister, sitting in the far corner of her bed. Her hair a mess, rocking back and forth mumbling. I let out a sigh and head off to class, I hate lieing but its alright to lie for family right?

The cold air invaded my bones and I pulled out the small Red box, placing the cancer stick between my teeth and light it. The smoke filled my lungs and I let out a sigh of relief, things aren't as easy as I thought they would be. 

The door is propped open as I smudge out my cigarette, I glance over at Alley and she already knows as she hands me two boxes of food and I hand her money not bothering to wait for chance. I love Lila but someone's going to find out the real reason why she's never in class
