❝ 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've been up since 4 this morning. Today is Molly's birthday. She's turning 12. I've been up baking a chocolate cake for her, and wrapping her present; a David Bowie record, her favorite song Rebel Rebel. I even made sure that Joanne could cover for me.
It was around 9 when she woke up. I've always been a great cook so I made some pancakes and eggs. "Good morning! How is it being 12 now?"
I asked as I hand her some breakfast. "Shitty, really shitty" was the only response I got.

I had around 30 bucks saved for this day. With the money management, I was able to pay the hospital bill, the regular bills (with the help of dad's wallet of course) and groceries and have a little left over.
I sat on Molly's bed as I was doing her hair in a half up half down style. "So I have 30 dollars. What do you want to do?"
"Umm, oh! Can we go to the arcade? They have a new machine called space invaders and I want to try it out!" She said cheerfully, "Of course" I responded.
‹·~·~·›
We arrived at the arcade a bit later than it would have usually took because I let Molly ride her skateboard there.
Once we walked in, Molly immediately went to space invaders. I followed her, but halfway I bumped into Vance.
"Watch it- Vance? The hell are you doing here?" I asked. "Got banned from the grab n' go yesterday, for 3 days it's so stupid" he groaned out.
"Lucy c'mon I need my tokenssss" Molly whined as she shook my arm. I dug into my pocket and gave her a handful of tokens.
"What did you do?" I asked again.
VANCE'S POV
I sighed at the question. It was an embarrassing story. "Um.." 'should I tell her? '
AUGUST 31ST 1979
After Lucy left to go pick up Molly, a guy started whistling. 'what the fuck? ' The same guy, came up to the counter "yo you tapping that?" He said with a cigarette hanging from his lip.
"What?" I was getting pissed. Who the hell does this guy think he is? " It was a simple question man, cause she hot " he said with a smirk.
I clenched my jaw. " Are you knew here?" He took a drag out of the cigarette "yeah man, why?" I snatched the cigarette out of his mouth and crushed it in my hand to put it out.
"Because everyone in this fucking town knows not to mess with me or her. Get the hell out of this store. Now" he looked at me shocked. "The hell you going to do about it?"
I swung
He stumbled back. He held his nose as blood poured from it. I speed walked around the counter, grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, and dragged him outside.
I threw him on the ground. And I started to beat the living hell out of him. I would have fought him inside but I didn't want to get Lucy in trouble. Eventually Joanne showed up. She was livid. ___
" I uh.." I don't want her to think I care about her. I mean yeah, I stuck up for her but only because that guy was being a piece of shit. So instead of telling her why I got banned I distracted her. "Doesn't matter, what's that?" I asked gesturing to the square shaped present she was holding.
"Hm? Oh it's Molly's birthday today and this is her gift" she responded.

LUCY'S POV
The whole day was full of laughter. Even though I hardly smile, today was an exception. I don't like to smile. My smile is ruined from years of drug abuse.
Me, Vance and Molly were sitting in a booth of a diner that was decorated to look like the 50s, it was Molly's favorite place to eat.
Vance decided to pay, he felt bad that he did know it was Molly's birthday. " Now, I've seen you looking at your gift the whole day. So why don't you open it? " I said as I handed her the gift.
Molly's face lit up. She grew a huge smile as she tore the wrapping off. And revealed the record. " Wow! Thank you, thank you, thank youu! I love Bowie!" She gleamed as she dragged out the 'u' and gave me a hug.
I hugged back and gave her a soft, light smile. "I know, that's why I got it!"
‹·~·~·›
Molly rode her skateboard back while me and Vance walked. The silence was so... loud? Akward? It doesn't matter but it it was killing me.
"What's going on.. like between us?" I said breaking the silence. "What?" Vance asked confused.
I sighed "it's been... Different. Last week we were beating this absolute shit out of each other. Now you're paying for our dinner? I'm so confused as to what's going on?"
" I um.. i don't know" he said confused. " So what? Are we... Whatever we were before? Are we friends? " I don't know what I was hoping for. But maybe a part of me wants what we had before. But the other likes what we have now. WHY IS THIS SO CONFUSING?
" friends? I guess? " He said. That's the answer I didn't want to hear. "Yeah sure.." god why is this so hard? do I want to be friends with him? What's wrong with me? I don't want to be friends with him... I think? This is so hard.
