*Ricky's POV*

"Come on, let's get you high." I giggled. It'd been three days after discovering her father died. She refused to go to the funeral but I didn't want her sitting around and moping for the rest of her life.

"Is this really the best idea?" She gave me a sad smile as we sat in my room alone. Chris was out with Balz and Sitkowski. 

"Sure. It'll mellow you out." I assured her. She rolled her eyes as she took the first drag. "Damn, do you have enough of this stuff?" She coughed. I gave an evil grin.

"What, you can't handle it?" I asked her. She smiled back, shaking her head as her eyes quickly turned from white to red. "The answer is no, by the way." I stole the joint and took my own, long drag, obviously showing her up.

"You know...he likes to get blown." She started snorting with laughter.

"Who? Chris?" I started laughing with her.

"I've got a feeling that marijuana's rotting your brain." She giggled, falling to the floor next to me as I crouched back up, staring at my mess. I sighed, not feeling like cleaning.

"(Y/N)...shut up." I looked at her, laughter in my eyes but a sudden seriousness in my smile. She paused, her lips closing as she gave me a thoughtful look. I felt the color continuing to drain from my face. "You know...you're so beautiful..."
