Transcendental.

The absent mother.

Calah groans as she shuts her laptop, pushing the books of lore away from her as she rubbed her temples.
She was clearly stressed, trying to find a way to at least make Adams nightmares go away, him screaming at night keeps everyone awake, not only that, but his suffering pained everyone.
Especially luci.
She sighs, slouching in her chair as she looked at her nails, noticing that her fake nails were falling apart.

She gets up and walks into Luci's room, seeing that Luci had been sitting in front of a mirror, clapping or snapping, doing weird things to prove that his reflection was a fake.
She laughs a bit, causing him to jump up and smile, pretending that he didn't do what he was just doing.
"hey-!"
"hey, squishy! I wanted to ask if you would take me out to get my nails done?"
"oh yeah, of course!"
Luci smiled as he gets up, dusting his shirt off, then puts his arm out so she could take it.

Once she did, he walked her down and they went into the impala, taking a bit to get to the place she wanted to go to.
Once they got there, she sat luci down, making Luci go through nail designs, making him choose.
"Uhh.. Light blue so dudes don't flirt."
"SQUISHY!"
"Hey-! I saw the way dean looked at you, I am NOT taking chances."
"ugh, Fiiiine."
She ended up picking light blue, as Luci rested his head on his hand, tapping lightly as he constantly checked the time.

He hears a woman clear her throat to him as he scoffs.
"taken."
"I'm not worried about that, [...]"
(that means DEAD-NAME-)
Luci's face went immediately pale, fear coating every place in his body as he refused to look at the woman.
"look at me."
"..."
"I won't leave you alone until you look at me."
Luci gets up, his hands shaking as Calah payed the tip then left, following luci and the woman.

Luci was about ready to open his car door when the woman took his hand and pulled him around to face her.
"hey get your hands off of him!"
Calah nearly yelped.
"Why?! He won't even look at his own mother!!!"
"you are not my mother."
"yes I am, I gave birth to you."
"it doesn't mean you took care of me, your job was to take care of me!"
"that doesn't justify what you did. To Me. To your FATHER. TO LENA!"
"I LOVED THEM! AND I STILL DO. You were a terrible mother, a terrible person, and a terrible person to look up to. And I should have NEVER trusted you with my life in your hands, I died because of your stupid decisions, and I probably still can die, just by breathing the same air as you."

"you didn't die, you're still alive."
"that's because my friend Michael, the archangel, gripped me tight and raised me from perdition."
"that's not true."
"you weren't even at my funeral."
"you weren't ever dead."
Luci pushed her hand off of his shoulder and went in the car, his mother going into the back as Calah went to the passenger side.
"get. Out."
Luci said as she laughed and shook her head. He simply groaned and drifted out of the parking lot, speeding home.

Luci opens the car door, slamming it shut as everyone follows, he opens the door, his hands shaking with anger as his eyebrows furrowed.
He makes sure Calah gets in, and before he slammed the door on his so called mother, she stops it with her foot as she walks in.
"nice house."
He let's out a groan of frustration, making sure Annie walked in before he slammed the door, alarming Lena and Adam-Michael.
"Hey, everything okay?"
Adam says as he walks down, face lighting up as he saw luci and Calah.
Lena walked out as she smiled weakly at Luci, them her face dropped once her eyes layed on Annie.
"what are you doing here?"
"I'm simply visiting my DAUGHTER."

"I am not a woman."
Luci took his coat off, throwing it somewhere as he took his shirt off, about to walk into his room, then Annie grabbed his hand.
"Huh, you got the scars of one."
Luci's eyes looked to her face, she was looking at his surgery scars.
"WH.. Get your hand off me."
"you look like your father actually.. He was always so soft and sweet, what happened?"
Luci's eyes grew wide as his eyes showed sadness.
"this is your mother... Well, Annie."
Adams eyes flashed as Michael took over.
"YUP, this is Annie."
Calah held her hips as she looked at Annie.
"what's your name, [...]?"
"my.. M.. My name.. My names.."

He choked on his words, now not knowing his name, everyone looked to him in shock.
He was currently rethinking his name.
His face.
His life.
He didn't know if it was real or if it mattered.
"Luci, his names Luci."
Calah spoke up, as Annie scoffed.
"that sounds even more girly than the one I picked out."
"I just.. I need.."
Luci was stressed, distraught, sad, fearing, angry.. If a person went through all 5 stages of grief, and all emotions at the same time, that's what Luci is feeling right now.
He felt like passing out.
No.. Really, his head was getting light.
He felt nauseous.
There was a loud thud.
He had hit the floor, passed out.

It was dark.

Nothing.

He had woken up at three, to Adam, sitting on Luci's bed with a book in hand, water, Excedrin, and a laptop.
"I figured you might need it.. Seeing your mother must've been a shock, and it must've taken a toll out of you.."
"thank you, Adam.."
Now that he sees the Excedrin, yeah.. He had a splitting migraine, so he took the water, and the Excedrin.

Jesus this is going to be a long couple of days, especially for everyone, knowing how Annie is.
