Rose Millton is just your average high school outcast. Well except for the fact that her father died when she was 10, her mom’s a drug addict, she practically raises her sister, and she got a scholarship to a prep school for rich kids ‘cause she’s insanely smart. With ¾ of Irene’s(Rose's Mother) paycheck being spent on drugs, Rose had to find a job when she was 10.Ofcourse Rose didn’t have to do it, but she was thinking of Lily (her little sister). What would become of her if Rose didn’t support her? Would she end up like her mother? No it couldn’t happen, Lily was sweet, caring, and had a love for animals stronger than anything else.Two summers after Rose’s barista job Irene was fired because she was getting older. That’s when this whole thing started: the move I mean, the downhill of Rose’s life started the day of that plane crash. Rose was moving from a decent house in Florida to a small apartment in New York, where her mom got a job at True Beauty Cosmetics. Irene could sit at home all day doing nothing and getting a fairly large paycheck every week. If Irene made a fair amount of money, then why did they live in such a dingy, small apartment? Same reason everything else in her life is ruined: drugs. So Rose still has to work. Luckily Rose gets another barista job at Starbucks. Then it all really begins.
