Lucy looked around and smelled the familiar scent of cigarette smoke. She smiled when she saw Wes by the stereo.
"Hey you took long enough!" Wes said sounding kind of funny to Lucy, but when he turned around she realized it was Mike!
"Mike!" She greeted him the same as she did Wes.
"Hey you look good since I last saw you."
"You say that to all the girls!"
"Yea but I mean it this time" Mike said with a smirk.
Lucy looked at Mike and noticed he looked a bit skinnier but he still had his same old handsome face. Then before she was going to say anything else Wes walked in and handed her a pack of Malboros's.
"Here I thought you would like this, think of it as a welcome home present" Wes said looking around for something.
"Hey I'm not staying here I'm going back tomorrow." Lucy said as Mike's eyes lit up
"Hey Wes I thought you said she was staying," Mike said sounding angry.
"I thought she was, my mistake."
"Well thanks for the present. I think Taylor back home threw the rest of mine away."
"Why?" Mike asked
Lucy shrugged "Him and Ike were worried about me."
"No offense Luce, they're your friends but they shouldn't do that, even if they are in band, and all these girls think they are soooooo cool!" Mike said making a face
Lucy laughed. "I guess I forgot to mention I'm going out with Isaac"
Their mouths dropped
"Lucy babe! He's older than you and he doesn't seem like your type!" Wes pointed out
"I know but I like the way he makes me feel, anyways you guys are 17 and you wanted to go out with me Wes!" Lucy said in defense of Ike.
"Well whatever makes you happy makes us happy! Here you want me to light you up one?" Mike directing it to her cigarettes.
"Sure I need one my parents are driving me insane."
A couple of hours later Lucy went home hiding the few cigarettes she had left into her pocket. She used some of Wes's mom perfume so she wouldn't smell like cigarettes. To Lucy's surprise her parents left a note saying they were going out to eat and would be back later. Lucy just walked up to her room and turned her TV on while she got her stuff ready to leave tomorrow morning. She heard her parents come home. Her mom walked up to say good night and Lucy went to sleep knowing this probably was going to be a long time till she slept in her own bed again.
