LUCY'S POV
Walking hurriedly, I went past the place that was now on my mind as a waste of time. 'Why had I come here?' I thought, pondering on which hurt more, my throbbing head or my mind.

I pressed my face against the window panel. No one in there, I hoped and put my hand to the door knob. As it clicked softly, I looked inside. The living room, all empty and dark without light. Carefully as a mouse, I strolled across the room, getting startled at the slightest noise. I went up the stairs and retired to my room.

I threw myself on the bed, bathed in sweat. I felt like taking my life but remembered I still had a lot to live for.
I went to have a shower. Hearing the pit pat of the rain and the rushing of my shower, I sat in water, reflecting on different thoughts that ran across my mind. As I knew, all my problems were mine; I didn't need help. Most of them either originated from mistakes I made or the people around me.

Afterwards, I dressed up and laid down. "11:09pm" I sighed and closed my eyes. I opened them again and stared at the ceiling long and hard. It was like my answers were there. My head aches. I craved sleep and my head ached with each passing thought.

I was always in thoughts, deep ones. I never really cared much about the people around me. So deep in my thoughts however I was brought to reality by taps on my sides. "Get up" said my brother.
I went downstairs to face both my parents seated in the sitting room. "Where have you been?" was my welcoming. They stared, waiting for an answer.
"Been in my room"

All was quiet now, you could hear a pin drop. The silence was deafening. To deafening that I broke it.
"Look", I began, "I appreciate you trying to care for me but I'm okay really, I'm old enough to take care of myself and make my own decisions. I can be independent". They looked at each other and at me. "Lucy, we mean well for you, your father and I, but you still live under our roof and our rules you must follow" said Mum. I blinked and turned away. Dad continued, "and don't forget", he said "that you still have to pass the university. Think of yourself, think about your right future, you will make it. You may feel we don't care but we do, you understand?". I nodded, partially against my will and still trying to make sense in this situation.

Back in my room, I threw myself on my bed. 'At seventeen', I thought 'all I have is some years in the university and I'm off, Scott free'. I didn't sleep at that moment but laid perfectly still. With my head banging, my thoughts racing and the rain rushing and howling.

I finally succumbed to the traps of sleep......
