tears actually start running down my face i can't contain them any longer. i throw a match in every room as i walk past it. the smoke gets too much and i walk out the house tears running down my face uncontrollably, but i make no noise they were emotionless tears.

I say nothing and drive off. i show up on lucas' door step......nervous to knock or go inside....i sit on his steps pondering what to say, my head in my knees.

The door opens and i turn to see lucas running out he almost trips over me.

lucas: LANNNA????? OH MY GOD......OH MY GOD!!!!!
*he picks me up hugging me tightly shaking me...squeezing me.*
lucas: me and my mom were watching the news live they were putting your house out of fire.....i was so scared i thought something happened to you!
lanna: it did.....only mentally...emotionally.... i'm not in pain though...
lucas: I WANNA HIT YOU. OH MY GOD...you scared me! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???
lanna: ....i went to cali to be with my mom... and.....
*i burst into tears like a baby, he comforts me hugging me tightly in his arms, ive never felt so safe and he smelled so good*
lucas: WOAH? what happened?
*i can't even catch my breath, sobbing uncontrollably not wanting to look at him, he takes my hand guiding me inside. we sit on the couch and i try to catch my breath. his mom is in the living room*
LM: lanna???? what's going on??? is she okay? we just saw your house on the news!!! we were so worried about you!!!
lucas: she's gonna be okay
LM: want some hot chocolate? i'm gonna makes us all some hot chocolate
