Smoking Again?!

Gracies POV (12 Years Old)

I let out a weary sigh as I walked up the driveway to the firehouse thinking about the homework that needed to be completed that was sitting in my backpack,

"Hey Gracie" Otis greeted with a warm smile,

"Hey" I replied as I walked in to the main communal area where most of the firefighters where sitting around,

"Hey kid" Severide greeted when he saw me "good day?" He asked casually and I shrugged,

"It was school" I replied causing him to smile,

"Fair enough" he replied as he went back to drinking his coffee. I put my backpack on the floor next to the sofa before sitting down next to Mouch,

"Don't you have homework?" Casey asked me from where he was standing in the kitchen. I paused for a second to think about the mountain of homework I was yet to complete,

"No?" I replied but it came out as more of a question causing him to quirk his eyebrow at my reply. He didn't say it out loud but his face was screaming 'I know you're lying' so I groaned in defeat "fine, I'll do it now" I caved as I grabbed my backpack and moved to sit at the table,

"The quicker you get it over with the quicker you can forget about it" he said causing me to internally roll my eyes. He sounded just like one of my brothers! I thought staying with these guys would be fun and it would give me a break from my occasionally overbearing brothers but no. These guys are just as bad and there's more of them to contend with! Jay had obviously given them the lowdown of the usual rules and routine meaning that there was no way of pulling the wool over their eyes, and even if I could, Will and Jay would definitely find out.

The loud sound of the alarm sounded through the building and all of the firefighters and paramedics jumped from there seats and began to leave for the trucks,

"Don't go anywhere, don't cause any trouble and keep your phone turned on" Severide lectured and I nodded,

"I know the drill Kelly, don't stress" I replied as he gave me one last pointed look before running out of the room with the others leaving me in a silent room with a pile of uncompleted homework.

You maybe wondering why I'm staying at the firehouse. Well, Jay is at some reunion thing with his ranger buddies in Washington and Will is in New York for some medical event, therefore I'm staying with Casey and Severide for a few days, hence why I have to come to the firehouse most of the time.

I ran my hand through my hair in frustration as I tried to concentrate on the textbook in front of me but with no luck. Then I suddenly remembered what I had in my backpack. Ali had given me a cigarette and lighter in school earlier and told me that it's really good for releasing stress. I thought back to the last time I had tried smoking and how much trouble I had gotten in. But hey, my brothers aren't here and the firehouse is practically empty. What harm could it do? I deserted my homework on the table and grabbed my backpack before sneaking out of the side door in the kitchen, being careful not to catch the eye of Connie or anyone else who might be working in the side office. I successfully made it outside and moved so I was slightly sheltered behind a wall before opening my bag to retrieve the forbidden items. I took the cigarette in my hand and looked at it. Which end am I even supposed to light? After ten minutes or so of deliberation I just decided to go for it. Taking the cigarette in one hand and the lighter in the other I pressed the button to light the flame which made me slightly nervous. Come on Gracie, no turning back now.I brought the flame to the end of the cigarette and watched as the end burned up slightly and without any hesitation I brought it ip to mu lips and took a deep breath in which immediately made me cough,
