~Laceys POV~

"Happy Birthday Lace...." I hear. I sit up from my bed and groan. My parents had let themselves into my bedroom... wait, happy birthday?

"What?" I ask, confused.

"Don't you remember sweetie? today's your 18th birthday!" My mom reminds me. I groan and lay back down.

"I've arranged for you to go shopping today, with Natalie." she continues. I sigh. really? Natalie is my ex girlfriend. we broke up a few weeks ago, but we're on friendly terms now.

"Right. I'd best get up then." I yawn. they nod and leave. I get out of bed and trudge along to the bathroom to have a shower.

When out I dress in a white Nirvana T-shirt, black jeans and black creepers. I then blow dry and straighten my black hair, applying winged eyeliner around my goldy-green eyes and mascara after.

I grab my badge-decorated backpack with my phone, purse, keys, earphones and Korn hoody in and walk downstairs.

My mother hands me $500 and I gape at it in shock.

"Its your birthday. Treat yourself. How about a nice dress and shoes, maybe some stuff to go with them? Natalie is taking you to get your nails done." my father smiles. I nod and wave goodbye, plugging my earphones into my phone and playing some sws.

I meet Natalie outside Hot Topic.

"Happy birthday Lace." she greets me, pulling me into a friendly hug.

"Thanks." I smile. We pull away and head into Hot Topic. I pick out several tshirts of bands I like.

"really, Lace?" Nat raises an eyebrow at my basket.

"What? you know I'm addicted to band merch." I remind her.

"oh, I think I know all too well." She laughs. I walk over to get some more jeans. I get about two pairs, all black and ripped but some with more rips in them than others. I find some more badges and decide to get them as well.

When I load my stuff onto the till the cashier, Nick, smiles at me.

"As usual, you never disappoint, Lace." He chuckles, as he begins to scan everything.

"Well, it's my birthday so my parents gave me a shit load of money." I shrug, grinning.

"Happy birthday! How old now?"

"18." As soon as I say that, his face turns slightly grey. He looks at Nat and she nods, hanging her head slightly. He looks back at me and smiles, despite whatever just happened.

"In that case, 50% off everything." He tells me. My eyes widen.

"What?"

"You're our best customer." He chuckles. "We had to do something."

"Thankyou, Nick, it means a lot." I smile. He finishes scanning my items and put them in a bag.

"No problem." He smiles back as I take the bag.

"Come on, Lacey. Where now?" Nat says, tugging on my elbow. What's the hurry? I think to myself.

"Uh, Journey's?"

"Okay." She nods and guides me there.

"Woah, calm yourself, I know where I'm going Nat." I chuckle. She looks back at me and blushes.

"Oh, yeah." She giggles. "Sorry."

We soon enter the store. I pick out a pair of all black Vans, black knee high Dr Martens, black ankle high Dr Martens and black Converses.
