Lyrica's Story [ON HOLD]

2~Girls Day~Lyrica

I woke up in my bay window.

"How did I get here?" I thought.

I heard my door open.

"Honey, time to get up." I heard the soft sound of my foster mothers voice.

"Good morning, Alice." I said yawning.

"Are you ok sweetie? You look pale!" She gasped.

"I-I dont feel well." I got up and ran to my bathroom. Alice held my hair back as I threw up.

"Are you alright? Do you need anything?" She asked concerned.

"Just some water." I said weakly.

About 5 minutes later I heard her footsteps coming to my bathroom.

"Here sweetie." She handed me the glass as I rested my head on the bathtub. "Are you sure your ok?" Her soft voice calming me.

"Y-Yes.." I could feel my anxiety rise as I thought about what Harmony said yesterday. "Alice?"

"Yes dear?"

"Could you take me to the drug store?" I asked looking up at her.

"Sure.... Mike went to work and Brooklyn is with some boy." I flinched a bit when I heard Mike's name.

"What about Brendon?"

"Him and Sarah are at the mall. So me and you have a girls day!" She said smiling.

A/N See what I did there with the Brendon/Sarah thing....buh dum tis

I shed a small smile. "Let me just get cleaned up and we can go." I said rising to my feet.

"Alright honey, I'll be in living room." Her jeans brushed against my arm as she got up and left my room.

I got a wash cloth from under my sink and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I opened the cabinet in the mirror that revealed my razor blades, shaving razor, tooth brush and paste, my hairbrush, first aid kit, nail polish and pills. I grabbed the hairbrush and brushed through my messy silver hair I threw it in a French braid and put some makeup on.

I walked over to my closet and turned the light on and walked to the back of it. I picked out a black high waisted skirt and a pastel blue crop top. I usually don't wear crop tops unless I'm with Harmony and Melody because of my anorexia but today was different and I didn't know why.

I waked downstairs into the living room. "Hey Alice...."

"Yes Lyrica?" She placed her book down and shut off the tv.

"I know I've been here for a few years and Ive always wanted to call you Alice but do you think it would be ok if I called you....mom?" I tripped over the word mom.

Alice was the one who adopted me and Brendon and who cared for us when no one else did so I guess this is my way of thanking her.

"Of course!" She got up and hugged me. Her blonde hair in her face. "Ready to go?"

"Almost.." I grabbed a water bottle from the fridge and slipped on my black high tops. "Now Im ready!"

Alice grabbed her keys and opened the door and walked out. I closed it behind me and walked to her car and got into the passenger seat.

"So what do you need from the drug store?" She asked as we pulled out of the driveway.

I froze.

"Um just some painkillers and maybe some Arizona tea.." I said placing my water in the cup holder and checking my wallet. $82. That was all the tips I got from singing on the streets and working at Java Junction which is the cafe two streets away.
