text in italics are flashbacks!

nineteen year old, nailea fairchild, lives with fifteen year old, riley fairchild, her little sister. their parents, jonathan and hannah, are no longer in the picture, they arent dead, they are just alcoholic, addict, and abusive people. nailea promised her little sister that she would take care of her when she could, but when she finally could, riley just seemed to grow hatred toward her older sister.

right now, nailea was doing laundry meanwhile her riley was in her room on her phone, not doing anything to help nailea. nailea never wanted to pressure her sister, so she let her be, but she was still extremely overprotective.

"riley!" the brunette exclaims from the washing machine

"what?" riley walks out of her room

"can you fold these clothes for me and leave them on the couch?" nailea asks, placing the laundry basket on the coffee table

"let me think about it, no!" riley smiles

"riri, please? i have to go to work and i wont have time to do it" nailea sighs

"dude i already go to school! thats enough work! you dont go to school or to college so you wouldnt understand" riley rhetors

"dont talk to me like that riley. no, i dont have the chance to go to college because i have to take care of you and work hard to get you what you want. you want new clothes? you need money to get it. for all i care, i couldve left you with jonathan and hannah but i didnt, did i?" nailea rants

"you always use that against me! im so sick of your shit!" riley exclaims

"riley can you please do it?"

"i fucking hate you."

nailea sighs at the sound of her sisters door slamming. she grabs her keys and walks out the front door, locking it and walking toward the driveway and going in her small corolla car.

nailea worked at target since she was eighteen, it was a minor job but it helped her with her financial situation. her car was decorated, there was a polaroid of her and her sister hanging on the front mirror, and another one of her and her childhood best friends. nicolas, christopher, and matthew sturniolo. matt was her ex boyfriend who nailea broke up with due to what was happening in her life at seventeen, and she hadnt seen him or his brother, who were her best friends, ever since. nailea really did love him, but she just didnt have time for him, he deserved better. but she really did miss them. a lot. her, nick, and chris' relationship deteriorated when she broke up with their brother. she remembered the day so vividly.

"you what!" chris exclaims

"im sorry" nailea looks down "im really sorry"

"but why the fuck did you do that? he doesnt deserve that!" nick tells the girl

"its complicated, okay? i have to take care of riley, shes only thirteen and i need to help get her out of the house with me, okay? please guys you have to understand that im doing this for her" nailea explains

"no youre doing it for yourself. riley loves us! she wouldnt have a problem with you dating matt while going through this! this is all you!" nick says

"nick im really sorry, okay? please forgive me" nailea fiddles with her fingers

"how are we supposed to forgive the person who caused our brother to be crying in his room?" chris questions "dude i dont even get why youre still here!"
