❝ god you're so addicting ❞ he said with the stupidest smile on his face.
North Denver residents don't dare to utter the name Lucy Parker. She is fierce and will not hesitate to fight anyone. Vance hopper is aware of this fact causing constant confl...
I was asleep with Molly in my bed, she was scared to sleep alone. After we got home dad was already there, beer bottles and cans surrounded him. He got mad and beat me, so I had even more cuts and bruises from when I fought Vance. Molly got scared so she slept with me. I eventually woke up on my own.

I hate the weather in Colorado. It was so much colder than it was yesterday so I had to dress warmer. But the weather played out in my favor. I wore a sweater, and since it's colder no one expects me to take off the sweater, so no one will be able to notice the new injuries that littered my body.
BANG!
BANG!
I could tell it was Jamie. I walk over and open the window. "You know how hard it was to sleep with my whole face in pain?" I said referring to her not helping me like she said she would have. as I walk over to Molly and start her hair. Since it was Wednesday we all have a late start. "I know I know that's why I brought the first aid and I would have helped you but Mr Corry sent me to detention for 'being inappropriate and distracting' " she said adding air quotes.
"What? That's weird" I said with my hands in Molly's hair putting pigtail braids. "I knowww but guess who I saw when I was leaving" she said grabbing the peroxide and applying it to my face. I sucked in my breath out of pain "who? Ow fuck" I moved my head. " Finney Blake" she had a smile on her face.
She always liked finn since freshman year when we went to his baseball game, and they made eye contact. Molly let out a gasp " Jamie Jamie guess what? He talks about you allll the time when he's on the phone with his best friend robin" Jamie's face gets red and she gets all smiley "ohhh Jamie and Finney sitin' in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g fir-" Molly was cut of because I put a hand over her mouth. "Shush now go get some pants on its cold you can't go to school in shorts"
She got up and left, Jamie was still all smiley as she puts band-aids on my face, arms, and knuckles. "You know they have a game today" I said breaking the silence. "Who?" I rolled my eyes at her response "The fucking president, Finney who else?" I said sarcastically with a smile on my face so she could tell I was joking. "Oh they do? " She says acting surprised. " You ass, you all ready knew huh? Were you going to drag me there? " She stays quiet " oh you bitch! " I said laughing at her.
Jamie laughs at my reaction "I'm sorry! But I know how you are lu" once she was finished I grabbed my bag and we headed out to drop Molly off.
‹·~·~·›
We walked in and I was greeted by the principal 'shit' "Miss Parker and Miss Smalls hello, Miss Parker I appreciate you staying even though I wasn't present for detention yesterday, so i decided to excuse today's detention for that, thank you!" I was confused "uh yeah sure" I walked away "what the fuck was that about?" I said asking Jamie "I told him that you were there" I opened my mouth to speak but I was cut off by the bell. My first class was chemistry and since yesterday Vance shares chemistry with me.
On my way to my class, I passed the abandoned bathroom. They were doing renovations on it since someone flushed a cherry bomb down the toilet and it got clogged. But the school lost it's fundings so it's been unavailable. The perfect place to smoke.
Before I entered the bathroom I made sure the coast was clear, checked the stalls and looked down both ends of the hallway. I reached into my bag and found a joint I rolled the other day but forgot about it. I lit it. Once I finished it I hauled ass to the classroom. I could not get caught smoking reefer.
I opened the door and interrupted Mr. Wall's slideshow. He let out a exasperated sigh but continued on with his presentation.
15 minutes later it hits me. That fuzzy feeling. A smile grows on my face and I'm try so hard not to laugh. Vance turns around to more then likely tell me to shut the hell up, when he notices my droopy eyes, "jeez will... Holy shit your high as fuck" he said in a snarky tone. I laughed at him. I was suddenly very aware of my knees, they felt weird.
‹·~·~·›
I left the class with that same stupid smile. Once I had gotten up to my locker, I was preparing myself to act sober for when Jamie gets here. As I wait Vance came up to me and pushes me hard. I fall hard to the ground as people gather around. He grabbed me by my sweater and continues to punch my face as I try to block.
The punching helps me sober up a bit, enough for me to grab his hair and pull him off of me. And I start to punch him. A few people pulled me off and i pushed them away when I got up. I grab my bag and walk out of the building. Soon Jamie catches up with me. "Woah what happened to your face" she pulls out a pocket mirror and gives it to me.
My right eye was purple, my right cheek was cut open, all along my left cheek bones were bruised, I had a small cut on my jaw line, my lip was busted, and my nose was bleeding. I looked like shit. " I don't wanna talk about it" I said and gave her mirror back.
I continue to walk till I got to my house, Jamie following, but we stayed in silence sharing a cigarette. The moment we got home I went straight upstairs. I walked past my window, but something caught my eye. the window from the house across from mine. It was a silhouette of someone. I couldn't make out any distinctive features besides the hair. It was curly. I ignore it and flopped on my bed.
