Lola's POV
I got out of the car and walked up the white steps of the front porch. At the door I reached down and grabbed the key from under the mat, unlocked the door and went inside followed by Sammi.
Her mouth dropped as she walked inside. I have to admit, my parents house was pretty big, they only had it because it had been priced extremely cheap around when the market crashed a few years ago.
"My stuff is upstairs."
I grabbed my phone, wallet, and car keys off the counter while walking by on the way to my room with Sammi close behind.
We reached the top of the stairs and turned into the first room on the right. My former bedroom is the smallest in the house. The walls are painted a deep, but bright, purple with three black stripes running around the room near the ceiling. My old bed was a small twin, the duvet was black with white polkadots, and the sheets were the same color as the walls. There is a few small sets of drawers which contain some of my clothes, the rest are in the large white armoire with black doors, near a medium sized window. I turned on the light switch to the lamp, then the lights on the ceiling.
"Sammi, I'll be right back I'm going to grab a suitcase." I quickly grabbed the biggest duffle we had and got back to the room. Halfway through packing I realized Sammi had been looking at all my clothes. I walked next to her and started looking too.
"Sammi," I looked at her embarrassed, "I think I need to take that shopping trip offer. I honestly did not realize how bad my clothes were!"
"Yay! I love shopping. We're almost done so why don't we do it tomorrow its almost 6:30..."
"Ok!"
With that we finished packing and headed back to her place, we unpacked most of my stuff and I brought my car over there.
I'm just about to get in bed when Sammi calls, "Goodnight Lola."
"'Night Sammi. I will never be able to thank you enough for what you have done for me."
There was no response so I guess she had fallen asleep.
*next day*
I awoke to the smell of someone cooking breakfast. Following the smell to the kitchen I saw Sammi dancing around making pancakes, as well as a mess singing along to a song I didn't recognize.

"Black painted eyes
Cover the lies
It's time you threw away your cruel disguise

Lost in love you are
Out of touch so far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors

Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors

I'd rather be alone
Than put you on a throne
And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors"

As the song ended I started to clap, I knew she didn't know I was there and she completely jumped! She spun around and looked at me shocked.
"How long have you been here?" She asked panicked after she calmed down a bit.
"Since what I'm guessing was the bridge? Your a really good singer! What song was that?"
"Oh, thanks! That was smoke and mirrors its one of the songs by the band jinxx is in."
"Right, black veil brides, they're really good, at least from what I heard of that song..."
"Cool. Pancake?" She says while raising the pan that was radiating heat in my face.
"Yes please! Just please don't burn me, that thing is really hot."
She puts one on a plate for me and one for her and heads back to where I am at the table.
"So lola, where do you want to go shopping today?"
"Hmm.." I said stopping to think about where everything was and what stores had. "I don't know probably just hot topic or just the mall.. That just reminded me, do you know any good hair places I want to dye my hair.. Before the wedding I had it this color but with some bright blue and indigo streaks, my mother made me dye it natural for the wedding. I kind of want it back.."
"Ya I know a place right near the mall! Why don't we go shopping then you can get your hair redyed?.."
"K. That sounds great! I need to get ready I'll be back in 20 minutes." I say while heading down the hallway.
I just decide to wear a plain white v-neck and some ripped red and black vertically striped jeans. My makeup takes 5 minutes to do, due to the fact I only wear eye makeup and concealer.
In the kitchen I find Sammi sitting there in the same spot just with her purse. (She was dressed when I woke up..)
She had coffee in her hand! Oh god!
"Let's go shopping! This is my first cup Lola.. Don't worry."
*back at the house after shopping.*
We only really went to hot topic because the other stores were extremely low on stock. I had got a few pairs of shorts, two tank tops, a few tshirts, some normal shirts, 3 pairs of jeans, and one skull printed 50's style dress. My hair was still the same auburn but with half steaks of white fading into indigo or blue mixed in.
"Lola, I almost forgot! Jinxx is coming home tomorrow! I don't know exactly what time though. I think he is going to bring his band over too."
"That's cool! I can't wait to meet him, he seems sweet." I quickly remember something I was going to ask her this morning, "Sammi, could you show me some of their music? I meant to ask you earlier but I forgot..."
"Sure! I think we should hang out in my room and I'll show you!"
We walked back into her master bedroom and sat on her memory foam bed. She brought out three CDs and her iHome.
She sat down and began.."Ok so I have their three full albums here on CD and on my phone. I have their first EP on here too, and their EP they released 2 years ago."
She plugged her phone into the IHome and started to play some music.
"This is from their first official album. It's called we stitch these wounds," she said as she sat back down cross legged infront of me. "I'm skipping their first EP because its late and jinxx wasn't in the band." Sammi started to blush, obviously embarrassed that she had said that. We talked for about half an hour while listening to the album until it stopped and she got up to put on the next album.
"Ok, this is set the world on fire, the song you heard this morning is an exclusive with this album. That one was called smoke and mirrors, it will probably play last. Right now is a song called new religion."
When that album was over I started to yawn. Looking at Sammi, it was obvious we were both tired and needed to sleep.
"Sammi.. I think they are amazing! They are definitely one of my top 10 bands now! I want to finish listening but I am about to pass out. I will see you in the morning." I slowly got up and headed out the doorway.
"Night!" She called after me.
"G'night Sammi." I yelled back.
It was about 12:30 I usually wasn't this tired now but we woke up early and had an exhausting day. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out cold. I doubt anything could wake me up.
