AUGUST 26TH 1979
LUCY'S POV

Just because I feel asleep doesn't mean I stayed asleep. I woke up around 3 and since I couldn't fall back asleep I smoked some weed. Well till dad barged into my room. He didn't do much, he was drunk. All he did was scream till he passed out and I had to drag him down stairs. I laid on the floor of my bedroom staring at the ceiling for hours till I heard banging from the window.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

I sat up and opened the window for Jamie "wow I'm surprised that you got to the window this quickly usually I'm trying to get your attention for a few minutes" "well I've been up since 3 so.."

I look up at her and notice she's all smiley. " What's up with you? " "I was on the phone with Finn till 1 and oh my god!" She squeals "he was soooo sweet!" She says dragging out the o.

It was still relatively cold, being at around 45° (Fahrenheit) not to cold considering Colorado can get colder but still. Me, Jamie and Molly walk out and saw Finney waiting. "Finn!" Jamie ran up to him a gave him a hug "Jamie! Hey Molly hi Lucy" "where is Gwen?" Molly asked worried for her friend.

"Oh she's sick" he said disappointed "hey Lucy I'm going to walk with Finn is that ok?" Before I had the chance to protest she started to walk away with him leaving me and Molly. I was a little upset but it was whatever. I walk Molly to school, halfway there a boy around her age runs up to us holding some chocolates and flowers, sunflowers, Molly's favorite.

"Uhh h-h hello Molly I was um wondering if you uh wanted to b-b be my girlfriend?" He was visibly shaking and sweating a bit. He extended the gifts and Molly grows a huge smile "ohhh! Yes! I would love too! Thank you James!" She accepted the gifts and gave him a hug. His tense shoulders relaxed, it looked like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "Great! I have to go now see you in school! Bye James!" They wave at each other and he jogged off.

"What was that?" I asked confused. How did my sister manage to get a boyfriend quicker than me!? "Oh that was just James Carter he's this boy in my class he's had a crush on me since forever" " hmm and now you're dating him?" " Yeah Susie said I should, to make William Scott jealous 'cause I don't really like James I like William"

It surprised me that she had this whole thing planned out. What really surprised me was that my 11 year old sister who's only in 5th grade has more game than me?? How is that possible??

Once we reached her school she met up with James and I began to walk to my school while smoking some weed.

The moment I walked through the front doors the principal greeted me and he was very very angry "Miss Lucy Parker I need to speak to you" he started to walk to his office and I had to follow. I started to look around for Jamie to see if she knew what was going on. Once I found her I saw she was talking and laughing with Finney, she didn't notice me at all. I don't know why but it upset me. The moment that the principal closed the door he started shouting "DO I NOT MAKE IT CLEAR? EVERY TIME YOU ARE IN HERE YOUR ALWAYS IN TROUBLE!"

His face was turning red. It was funny, but I tried not to laugh "oh? Oh you think this is funny?" I started to laugh "very" he was pissed at by this point "since you think it's so funny why don't I give you a longer suspension than I gave Vance? You are on suspension for 2 weeks! " ' what the absolute fuck'  " what?! C'mon a week"

" This is not up for debate 2 weeks now go! " He pointed to the door and I got up and stormed out of there.

I was mad and I needed to calm down so I smoked. I walked around town and went through 3 cigarettes but I was still mad. I needed to find Vance and fight him. I walked to the grab 'n go and didn't see him there ' shit man where the fuck is he?! ' I started to walk again and I smoked another cigarette. I decided to walk through the park, trying to calm down I sat and smoked till someone threw a piece of paper at me. I looked at the direction where the paper was thrown and saw Stacy Cunningham. Rumor has it that her and Vance are hooking up.

I stood up and walked over to her, threw my bag in the floor, and put out the flame of my cigarette. "What the fuck was that for?" "You got Vance suspended for some stupid fight" ' this bitch' "and why does that concern you Stacy?"

"Well, me and Vance have a fling" she said with a shit eating grin on mer face "good for you? I don't give a fuck" "you better shut your mouth Parker before I beat the shit out of you" ' well I do need a fight' I shoved her "like fuck you are"

She tried the grab my hair but I punched her in the stomach. As she bent over I grabbed her head and slammed it against my knee. Her nose started to bleed and she fell over. I got down next to her and started to punch the hell out of her. Once she started to cry is when I stopped. I got up and leaned on my knees "say some shit like that again and I will beat you to a pulp" I kicked her and walked away. I heard someone running towards me.

"Yo what the hell was that?" I turn and saw it was Vance. He handed me my bag. "Your fling, she was saying it was my fault for the fight when you started it" he put his hands up in defense "hey it was just pay back for you beating the living shit out of me" I rolled my eyes and glanced at his watch and saw it was 3 I had to go pick up Molly soon. "Any way talk some sense into that chick" and I jogged off.

Molly walked up to me without her gifts, but she was holding hands with a different boy, that wasn't James, they waved to each other and Molly walked up to me "who was that? I thought you were dating James?" She grew a huge smile "that was William, I broke up with James and started to date him instead " we started to walk home and she told me all about her day.

‹·~·~·›

Once I got home dad was there waiting. I rushed Molly upstairs and he approached me "Lucy, WHY THE HELL DID I GET A CALL AT WORK SAYING YOU GOT SUSPENDED?!" I didn't respond, just looked away "LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU" he slapped me and pushed me to the ground, when I tried to get up he started to kick me. He kicked my sides and started to stomp on my stomach it hurt so much. I couldn't breathe. I started to cry "stop.... Please… stop.. it hurts...." I put my hands up to block the hits.

He kicked the side of my head, and everything went dark.
