OCTOBER 5TH 1979
LUCY'S POV

I woke up to the feel of someone kicking me. I sat up and took in my surroundings. I was on the floor, Vance was also asleep, he was the one who was kicking me. I took a glance at my clock and read the time 1:42. "Vance.." i mumbled out as I shook him, he shot up looking around him. "What?" He mumbled out once he realized where he was.

"C'mon, you gotta get home" I yawned out. He seemed almost displeased with what I had said, " what's wrong? " I asked. Vance shook his head," nothing". He got up and made his way to the window. Then I realized, he probably didn't want to be home, I've heard him and his dad arguing more than usual recently. " If you wanna stay you can.. ". He stopped in his tracks and turned around.

" I don't mind the company.. " I added. "Thank you.. " Vance whispered. I nodded. As we both climbed into my bed, falling asleep.

I woke up to the sun hitting me in the face. I opened my eyes and immediately noticed how close I was to Vance. I was laying on his chest, his arm was lazily wrapped around me. I noticed the small nick on his neck from his shaving. He smelt like pine and cigarettes. I closed my eyes and focused on his heart beat. It was odd, I didn't want to move away. The way he was holding me was comforting. I laid there, matching my breathing with his. I listened to his light snores and the small mumbling.

I didn't even realize I fell asleep till I woke up to my alarm. I was the first to wake up, still in the same position that I was in earlier with Vance, I pulled away to shut off the alarm, I already craved to be in his arms again.

Vance woke up on his own, right after I turned off the alarm. "Good morning" he said in a raspy voice. "Good morning" I responded. He got out of bed and made his way to the window. "You can use the front door, if you want" I stated. He stopped and looked at me, "you sure?". I responded with a nod.

He left my door open when he left, Molly soon entered, "did Vance spend the night?" She asked. "Yeah, so?" I replied as I was digging through my drawers for clothes. "Are you guys dating?" Molly asked. I snickered at her question, "no we're just... close" I said. She rolled her eyes, "yeah, close" she added air quotes when she said 'close'. I smiled and threw one of my shirts at her, she caught it and threw it back at me. Molly turned around to walk away when she ran into dad.

He entered my room. "we need to talk." My mood had an immediate change. "about what?" I asked as i leaned into my mirror to apply my makeup. " I just saw the young man next door leave through our front door" Dad said as he sat down on my bed.

I rolled my eyes, "congratulations, your eyes work" I said while putting on some lipstick. He sighed, "Lucy I don't need your attitude right now". "And i don't need you in my room right now. I'm trying to get ready for school, can you leave my room? I need to change." I responded.

Dad let out another annoyed sigh and left, he slammed my door shut on his way out.
