3.

"You want us to stay?" Vee asked.

We were now at my house and somehow I had managed to cry. It wasn't about Mars, I was just having an episode.

"Please.." I said looking up through my eyelashes.

"Of course.." Skinny said looking down at me.

I unlocked the door to my house and walked inside. I've lived alone for a few months now and I can't lie, it gets pretty fucking lonely so they stayed often..or Mars sometimes.

Walking into my room with them following I spoke shakily. "So, you know, wear what you want.." I pointed lazily in the direction of my closet while walking towards it. I grabbed a long sleeve striped shirt, grey shorts and white nike socks. Going to the guest bathroom, I showered giving them my room.

"So what happened Lu?" Vee asked curiously as we all congregated in my room.

I shifted slightly and began to speak, "Well, I could feel it ya know..I was on edge. I needed him, or something..." I paused and took a deep breath before continuing. "But when I found him...he was occupied. Then he lied to me about where he was. A drink was thrown in my face...literally, by some guy and I guess it was an accident. But..I was loosing myself." I stopped again and looked up.

Skinny was leaning against the wall while Vee sat on the edge of my bed. They seemed like they felt pity for me so I tried to lighten up a bit.

"So anyways long story short, he comes...he tries. It didn't work...But it really wasn't that serious I swear..I just waited too long to take my pills!" I smiled softly and closed my eyes. "Say something.." I breathed out.

"Do you like him Lu?" Vee asked shifting in her position.

I kept my eyes closed, "I don't know." I heard Skinny let out a gust of air as if she had been holding it this entire time. Opening my eyes, I watched as she ran her fingers through her hair. She was wearing a short cropped black tank top, black shorts and long black socks.

"Wrong L word, but It's okay.." She finally said. She walked over getting into the bed next to me. Vee was wearing a large green shirt and small black shorts. She got in on the other side.

Skinny put her arm around me and we layed down, I put my head on her chest while Vee held around my waist. The silence took over the room. We weren't sleeping..just enjoying the silence.

~flashback~ (a week ago)

Small get together my ass. I haven't even met some of these people. I stood awkwardly in the corner watching as everyone enjoyed themselves.

"You wanna come with me?" It was Skinny. I looked at her and smiled. I don't know what it is but she's especially mesmerizing today. Her hair is shining and bouncing happily on her shoulders. Touching it would be a treat for my fingertips.

She grabbed my hand and lead me to a small room deeper into the house. When we walked in I saw Vee and a few others sitting around.

"Look who I found." Skinny said referring to me. I smiled as everyone cheered in a drunken state. I took a seat and slowly began to enjoy myself.

"What is it?" I asked smiling as everyone popped a small white pill.

"It's fun candy" A guy said handing one to Skinny.

Everyone laughed and I looked around curiously. "I want one.." I blurted out.

Vee eyed me, "Are you sure?"

"Positive!" I said sitting down my cup. I felt two fingers on my face turning my head. Skinny had it in her hand and made a ahh face. I imitated her and she dropped it on my toungue. I sat back in my seat and felt as it desolved into my system.

Time passed and I honestly was convinced it was a sugar pill. "You guys tricked me." I said through slight laughs.

They all just stared at me with smirks on their face. "Wow.." I said low to myself. She's so beautiful, what a nice face, her nose, her lips. "You're a goddess.." I said looking at Skinny.

She stared back letting out a laugh. She turned towards the group, "I think it's working."

A few people laughed and clapped. Suddenly loud music was playing and I saw Vee dancing with some boy. "It's hot..are you hot?" I asked no one in particular as I slipped off my hoodie exposing the bralette I had underneath. "Dance with me Skins!" I grabbed her by her hands and pulled her up from the couch.

I was having the most fun I had in a while. Turning around quickly I accidentally fell into Skinny landing us on the floor. "Ow, Shit!" I said laughing, her laughing along side of me.

Her eyes were closed and I propped myself up onto my elbows, "So pretty.." I whispered.

Her eyes fluttered open and she stared at my face, reaching up to touch my hair. She tucked it behind my ear her hand lingering on my cheek. I knew who she was but she looked so...different, I couldn't resist her.

I moved a little closer and she lifted up a bit. Before I could even think about it our lips were connected. They were so soft, so gentle. She sat all the way up next to me so now she was towering over me, her hands tangled in my hair. Things were getting progressively more intense as I found my hand trailing her waist. Her hand found my waist with greed and intention until a few cheers tapped us out of our actions.

My head snapped and I could see everyone staring at us. I laughed goofily and stood to my feet. Looking down at Skinny she seemed flustered, I reached for her hand and she stood next to me with a slight smile. I began to dance again but at some point I noticed she was gone.

~End of flashback~

Opening my eyes slightly, I listened to the sound of her heartbeat. She's still pretty, just as pretty as that day. I'll never be able to admit that I can't completely blame what happened on the drugs. I mean how could I?

I got out of bed as gently as possible making sure. It was around 6:30 in the morning. It hadn't been long at all since I had fallen asleep. I grabbed my phone and walked out into the living room. Checking the screen I saw messages and a few missed calls from Mars.

Mars: Luci, I'm sorry.
Mars: I wasn't there when you needed me..I promised.

I stared at the messages as a mix of emotions washed over me. It wasn't that serious, you were gonna be fine. But you wanted him..and you couldn't have him. I contemplated calling back but decided against it because he could've been sleeping. "He promised.." I said to myself as I read the messages over and over.

Thinking back on the day he made that promise, a tear brimmed to my eye. Blinking it away quickly, I sat my phone on the coffee table and went back into my room. Climbing in between the two, I adjusted Vee's arms back around me and layed on Skinny again.

"Where'd you go?" Skinny asked quietly while looping her arm around me. I only feel truly safe in 3 peoples arms, Vee, Skinny and Mars.

I knew she was still half asleep so I just shook my head letting out a faint "No where..".

Sooo that's why Luci was nervous to be around Skinny..Interesting. Do you want different POV's? As of right now I'm just gonna keep it at one but if so I will make them!!
