I think I might be concussed?

You’re just lost

She was lost. And not in the physical sense. Well at the moment also in the physical sense but that was just a case of her life reflecting her emotional status.

Lucy squinted, trying to make the street sign come into focus. She really should wear her glasses when she drove but they were not cute unless she was reading and she wanted to look adorably studious. She glanced down at the address she’d written on a recipt from that cute little shoe store she loved. They had a pair of eggplant pumps she’d been eyeing for days. Maybe she’d go get them once she’d found this…crap she was pretty sure she’d driven past it.

Right now she had to focus on finding this place. And it was looking pretty ghetto which made her reach for her bag and fumble around in it for her…dammit. She’d taken the taser out. It was bulky and the cute, slim Coach bag didn’t really accomodate much more than her slim wallet, her keys and a lipstick.

“Great, I’ll get murdered, raped and pillaged in the ghetto of Berkeley but my corpse will be cute for the mortician,” she muttered to herself.

Nevermind the fact that really, Berkeley didn’t have a ghetto. She was dealing with Lucy Land and in Lucy Land, Berkeley had a ghetto. And she was lost in it. This would not have happened if Jill were with her. This would not have happened because Jill would have found the address on mapquest for her, she would have printed it out, folded it and put it in her Coach bag. Lucy, however, did not have to check to see if her purse contained a set of neatly folded directions because Jill was not there. Jill was in Alabama. She’d taken the semester off because her dad was sick. Lucy understood her reasons for not being there, she even supported them most days. However, today Lucy just wanted her best friend. And it wasn’t just because she was lost in the ghetto of Berkeley. It was because the beach house was lonely and her closet was tired of being reorganized and going out wasn’t as much fun without Jill.

Lucy was lost and even when she found her address she’d still be lost because her map quest was in Alabama indefinitely
