SEPTEMBER 14TH 1979
LUCY'S POV

After yesterdays events I went straight to bed, not wanting to deal with anything anymore. However, going to bed at an earlier time will have it's consequences. I woke up at 6 in the morning. I desperately needed a new change of clothes.

I was tired and groggy

I was tired and groggy. I decided a line of coke would help get me that kick of energy that I needed but when I reached under my bed I didn't feel my box. Fear struck my body as I looked everywhere in my room for that stupid box, I couldn't find it. The only solution that I could come up with was Molly's found it.

"God I'm so fucking stupid" I muttered under my breath as I ran my hands through my hair. It wasn't a lie. I'm supposed to be sober. Instead I'm stuck in this hole that I dug myself. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't ask Molly about the box.

I heard a faint sound of a car driving on gravel. I peaked out of my blinds and saw Vance exit the car with his dad trailing behind him. His dad was clearly annoyed. But I don't care. I shouldn't have to care. I walked away from the window and was about to lay back down when the door opened.

Molly walked in and stood in front of me holding my shoe box. My body froze in fear.

"I refused to believe it..." She said quietly.
She slowly got louder "you lied to me". "I know... And I'm sorry" I said trying to get her to calm down. That only made her more angry "no! You're not sorry!" Molly threw the box and it hit the wall, spilling all it's contents.

"You're supposed to be sober! You fucking lied to me! How could you!" She yelled. "Why should I be sorry!" I yelled back, "I take care of you Molly! It's not the other fucking way around!".

" That doesn't matter! I'm you're sister! It's my job to be worried about you! " she argued back," dad isn't gonna worry about you! And I sure as shit know that mom isn't gonna worry about any one but herself!" she was right.

Molly let out a long sigh. She left my room without another word. I stood there staring at the box. I knew she was right. But it's so easy to forget about the conversation and take a line of coke. But I couldn't turn into my mom.

I walked up and put away all of the things that fell out . I headed down the stairs with the box and headed out the door. I was going to throw it away in the kitchen trash but if I had a bad enough craving I would have dug through the trash.

I walked all the way to the run down seafood restaurant and threw the box in their dumpster. No way in hell would I go digging through their trash. It felt good to throw that box away.

I started to walk back. It was weird walking outside, taking in my surroundings. I noticed a van driving slowly near me. My heart dropped and my palms started to sweat. My breathing got quick as it got closer to me. I started to get hot even though it was 40 degrees outside (Fahrenheit).

The van got closer and closer. I was hyperventilating. I stopped walking. The van was a few feet behind me. It was driving painfully slow. I could hear the crunching under it's tires. The fear became to much and I ran. I don't know where I was going but I had to get out of there. I made it 5 blocks down when I saw the woods. I ran into them.

I was panting and clutching my chest.
I couldn't shake that feeling out of me. I was a nervous mess. Being in the woods made me feel a bit better. I knew my way through them.

I started to walk towards the end of the woods when I heard a branch snap behind me. My heart dropped and I stopped walking. I slowed my breathing. I dug my hand into my pocket and grabbed my lighter. I hid the lighter in my fist, so if I had to fight, my punches would be harder.

I slowly turned around and saw... A cat. I small calico cat. I laughed a little and put my lighter in my pocket and picked up the cat. He purred in my arms.
