Thugs Don't Fall (Lucas Coly, Zendaya and August Alsina Fanfic)

Chapter 26

Maree's POV
(Later that day)

I was finally able to shower and get into some comfortable clothes after me and Lucas took a nap.

After I got cleaned up and washed my hair, I put it into a messy bun and got dressed.

I didn't hear Lucas so I wanted to see where he was.

Jogging down the stairs, I walked through the living room to the kitchen.

I didn't see him but I smelled weed.

Walking to my balcony, I stood by the door, looking outside at Lucas, who was sitting on the stairs smoking.

As I stood there, I noticed that he was crying.

My first instinct was to go out there, but I stopped myself because this might be the only time he can let his feelings out.

So I decided to do something that could help me.

I applied to every job I could think of. I quit both of my jobs before I went to therapy so I didn't have any income as of now.

After about two hours, I had completed all of my applications. I couldn't think of anywhere else and Pinterest wasn't helping.

The doorbell rang and I instantly got excited. I basically ran to the door.

Opening it, noon came running in, jumping all over me.

"Hi my baby." I cooed. He was barking and spinning in circles, instantly brightening my dull mood.

I had about five cups of tea and like two bags of cough drops so I could actually talk without crying.

"Thank you so much." I thanked the lady I had paid to keep noon.

"You're so welcome." She smiled. She said bye to noon and she left.

I picked up noon and walked back to the kitchen, sitting back in my chair and sitting noon in my lap.

As I got comfortable, I picked up a few skittles I had in a bowl.

Lucas walked into the kitchen and I smiled softly.

"Hey." He mumbled, looking down.

"Hey. Say hey noon." I told noon as I held him up to Lucas.

Lucas smiled fully and grabbed noon, sitting beside me at the island.

He laid his head on my shoulder, letting out a deep sigh.

As I sat here, I thought about what I'm going to do. I have no job, I feel Ike my house isn't safe anymore.

I just want everything to go back to the way it was.

Lucas's POV
(2 weeks later)

Tez: When you coming back bro?

Me: I don't know man. Gotta get some stuff together.

Tez: Bet

Laying my head back in the bed, I finally decided to get up.
