The girl who seemed to be unbreakable,

Broke

Luce's POV

Luce woke up, got dressed and brushed her teeth and hair. Today was the big day for her. It was her birthday! She was so happy to see her parents already getting the snacks ready. They were so proud of her daughter ever since she came back from Swords and Cross. They took her everywhere and let Luce go on dates with Daniel.

"Lucie, you're up." Luce's father said with a smile on his face. "Come have breakfast."

"You guys do know that we're going to the movies and then coming back here?"

"I know," her father kissed her forehead. "We're just preparing."

"I love you," Luce felt like she could burst out of happiness right this second.

"We've also seen some change in you, sweetie." Luce's mother said. "You're not the same; you're stronger, wiser independent." Luce's mother hugged her. "When was the last time you cried?"

"I'm not sure." Luce kissed her mother's cheek and went back into her bedroom. She put on some lip gloss, eye liner and mascara. She checked the time and heard the door bell ring. Callie was coming early but normally she would come in and say 'I'm home!'

I ran down and answered the door. Cam and Roland were standing at her door with two wrapped up gifts. "Hey, come in." Luce gestured. They came in quietly and waited for Luce to unwrap the gifts.

"Here you go," Cam gave her a small box. "I wanted to bring a snake so that you would scream but then I decided not to."

Luce laughed. "Um thanks." Roland also gave her a bigger box. "Thanks Roland." They sat down and talked about the loophole in the curse this lifetime.

"Luce! I'm home!" Callie came into her home and hugged Luce. "Happy birthday Luce," She said.

Callie sat next to Luce and stared into Cam's eyes. Roland and Luce laughed at the fallen angel and the mortal. "Open your present!" Callie said not even looking at Luce.

Luce opened the envelope and brought out two tickets to go see Simple Plan. "Oh my god! Callie, thank you!" Luce gave Callie a tight hug and pulled her eyes away from Cam for a bit.

The door bell rang again, and Luce quickly answered it. "Hey, Molly," Luce said to the scary pierced angel. Molly gave her a bowl. "What's this?"

"You're present." Molly let herself in and sat on a one person chair. "It's inside the bowl."

"Okay," Luce was closing the door when she heard: "Oh, yes. Forget about us!" Luce sighed and reopened the door.

"Come on, Shelby."

"And I brought you a present." Shelby put her hands on Miles's shoulders. She pushed him in and gave Luce a hug. "Miles has the present."

"Okay,"

Luce left the door open and waited for her boyfriend: Daniel and two other angels: Arriane and Gabby.

Luce sat with the others and they talked. Gabby and Arriane came inside and joined into the conversation. All she needed now was Daniel –her fallen angel.

"Um . . . Luce," Gabby gave Luce a note. "From Daniel,"

Luce quickly read the note and then put in into her pocket. "I understand," She said. "Who's ready to go?"

They all walked to the movies, watched Paranormal Activity Three (And the only reason why Luce choose the movie was to be cradled in Daniel's arms) and went into the fun area. They stayed there for hours, and finally went back to Luce's house and had pizza for dinner.

Luce was so upset. This was her eighteenth birthday, and her stupid boyfriend couldn't be bothered to make it. Everyone went home, and left Luce alone.

Luce's parents quickly took a photo of Luce closing the door. She frowned in every picture her parents took after she closed the door. She hadn't opened the presents yet.

"What's wrong, Luce?" Her mother asked.

Luce left the presents on the coffee table and ran into her room. "I just need some time alone." She said running up the stairs. Luce quickly shut the door and ran onto her bed. She didn't cry, no. She was too strong to lose it all. Luce closed her eyes, and drifted into a dream.

Luce woke up with the sound of wind. She went down stairs and looked at the presents. They sat there on the table just screaming 'OPEN ME ALREADY!'

Luce sat on the floor and opened the presents in order. Cam's first. It was small but beautiful: A small anklet with a snake on it. Luce let out a little giggle and opened Roland's'. The same thing except this had a smile on it. Molly's was all fake tattoos on it and fake piercing in it. Luce put in the nose and lip piercing in. Shelby and Miles had a thick present on the table. She quickly opened the present and in hands was a scrap book with photos of the three of them, some of her and Callie, Cam and Luce, and one of Daniel and Luce kissing. Luce quickly closed the book and found another present. Gabby's present. Oh no, Luce thought as she opened the bag. There was a small pink camera with a note on it.

It does so much more than take photos. It takes movies as well :D

Luce laughed and put it back into the bag. Next was Arriane. There was a one hundred and fifty dollar gift card to spend at the shops. Luce held the card in her hand and thought about the clothing and other crap she could spend it on.

Luce ran up stairs and had a shower, brushed her hair and teeth and got dressed, packed her bag and raced into her car and sped along the road.

Luce spend about fifty dollars on CDs. Only one hundred to go. She spent some on a swift army knife and a tee shirt. Luce stayed at the shops for the day even when she was finished shopping, she stayed there. She went to the library after and borrowed some books.

Once the library was closed, she went to a pub. The bartender had to check Luce's ID three times just to get her a drink. Once she finally got a drink, she drank it all. She left after one drink and went to a night club.

"I need to see our ID card." The person at the front said. Luce showed him her ID card and he let her in. She hadn't had a good time, all she did was drink. A couple of guys asked her to dance, but she put them all down. She saw another two seats from her who looked like he hadn't slept in days. He had long black hair, blue eyes and was wearing clothing like Luce was wearing: A plain tee shirt and jeans. Luce walked over to him and sat there.

"Why are you here?" The guy asked Luce.

"A person didn't come to my party." Luce didn't know why she admitted it to this stranger. "A very important person."

"Boyfriend?" He asked.

"Yeah, what about you?"

"The same except with a girl," They both took a sip of their drink. They looked at each other and left the club walking down the streets. They talked about things no one would normally talk about. Luce brought more drinks and found out that his name was Mark. They got drunk and passed out on the side walk.

Daniel's POV

Daniel flew around the city for the whole day, wondering where his Lucinda was. He searched until his wings were beat, then he would fly again. He called out her name over and over again until dark time. He heard her laugh and another guy's laughed. He saw them drink a can of beer and talked about things no one wants to here. They tried to give each other a high five but as their hands touched, they passed out. I flew down to Luce and got her to sit up. Luce woke up and looked at me.

"You . . ." Luce stood up and ran behind a tree. She threw up and just stayed there on all fours. I circled her back and made sure that she was alright. "You . . . Didn't come." She said.

"Didn't Gabby give you my note?" Daniel asked bringing her away from the puke.

"Just because you couldn't be bothered to make it isn't a really good reason." Luce said.

"That wasn't the real reason, Luce." She looked at Daniel with pleading eyes. "I was protecting you, outcasts know when it was your birthday and they came."

"Why didn't you just get Cam to fight them?"

"Because I told him to get your mind off me," Daniel kissed Luce's forehead. "Let's get you home."

"I drove," Luce stumbled to her car and tried to get into the driver's seat. Daniel pulled her away and put her in the seat next to the driver's seat. He took her hand and drove the car to his place. Luce had slept the way to his place half way through. Daniel carried her to her bed. He laid her body on her bed.

Daniel watched Luce dream. She kept moving on the bed. She started screaming and crying. Daniel tried to wake her up, but all she did was bring tears from her eyes.

"No!" Luce screamed. Her eyes shot up and she cradled into his arms. Her body started to heat up in his arms.

No, not now please!

Daniel started to tremble with fear. He couldn't lose her now, he just couldn't.

"Daniel!" Luce called. Daniel gave Luce one last kiss. Luce actually started to cool down. Good, it was just the heater. "Daniel, the most terrible thing happened in my dream."

"Calm down, it was just a dream." Daniel said stroking her hair. "It was just a dream."

Luce kissed his jaw and feel back to sleep in his arms. They both lay down on the bed and stayed close together.

Tears started coming out of her eyes again.

Daniel laced his fingers through her hair, and felt her heat up again.

Just the heater he thought.

Luce started to really burn. Her tears burnted him. He wanted Luce to wake up, and not leave him.

Luce screamed and burned up in his arms. Just like old times.

"My girl has finally broken." Daniel whispered. Luce's tears were still on his cheek.
