"Anything interesting happen in school today?" mom asked as I sent Vince a glare to shut his mouth.

Dad was quiet and dug into his own thoughts, him and mom got into a fight since Kate, my oldest sister, is sick from the battle with her cancer and they hate each other. It's not any specific reason, they just don't like each other anymore.

I figured it was because of dads alcohol problem, when he gets drunk he's mean. I don't mean rude, I mean abusive.

I looked to Kate as she sent me a smile, I sent a soft one back as she lifted her fork and spoke with her careful voice "Lana, why are you single if you're so beautiful?" She asked me with a curious glare.

My heart fell, she has such low self esteem, after losing all her hair she went into this obsession of me, like she wanted to live her life through me. I hated God for that, I still do, because she deserves a long loving life too. She shouldn't have to live through me.

I didn't mind since I know... well she knows, that she doesn't have much time here. It's too strong and even with the greatest doctors we can't beat it.

Letting a small laugh escape I took a bite of the roast, "Kate, Why are you single if you're so beautiful?" I asked back at her.

Starring straight into her mesmerizing turquoise eyes, knowing she damn well better believe she's gorgeous.

She smiled and shook her head laughing "I love you Lana." She said softly while staring at me through her lashes.

Last year she was in college up north but dropped out as soon as she found out about the cancer.

It hurt me that she couldn't be the veterinarian she always wanted and dreamed to be.

I smiled "I love you too Kate." I said giving her a wink.

Vince cleared his throat and reached for another roll, "Kate, we got this bad boy in school and Lana's got a thing for him." He smirked just wanting to start shit.

Sending him a scowl I punched his shoulder across the table.

Dad choked on his food making me drop my face into my palm in disbelief that Vince would say that knowing who our father is.

Mom let her fork hit the table and Kate starred with a big hidden smile and wide eyes.

"The schools bad boy?" Dad spoke looking to me in fury, Vince only said I had a thing for him, that doesn't mean I fucked the guy.

I rolled my eyes lifting my head up all the way, "No, I don't have a thing for Ben. I spilt my lunch all over his shirt and offered to clean it." I said as if it was nothing. Because it was nothing, wasn't it?

He scoffed "After he pinned you to the wall and then got up in your face?" Vince laughed and leaned forward.

I looked to mom and dad who where arguing about how out of all the guys in this town I choose a bad guy because I was neglected and blah blah blah.

Kate asked Vince about everything and he filled her in making me smile as she seemed to look as if she was in mad love.

She always loved bad boys.

"Oh come on mom, Kate likes bad boys too calm down!" Vince said gesturing to Kate who laughed so hard she snorted.

I laughed, eventually snorting too.

Such an unattractive thing, but its our thing and I love it. Usually only happens when I laugh really hard.

"Kate won't be dating a bad boy." Dad said with his jaw clenching as he tried to keep a straight face while we snorted in laughter.
