Lincoln later in his bed staring at the ceiling, the morning light shined through the small window in the room. The tree house smelled of wet oak and the roof leaked just a little. It had rained last night and the smell was intoxicating to Lincoln. He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror on the wall. He had grown in the past few years he now stood 5'11. He was slim and muscular with a slight six pack tracing his body. He was currently sporting a 5 o'clock shadow and his hair was everywhere. Realizing he had not take a shower in the past few days he exited the room and walked over to the bathroom.

As he walked he realized everyone one else was still asleep, enjoying the silence he turned the lock on the door in case anyone woke up and started to undress from what little clothes he had on. Looking himself over in the mirror he began to admire his slim yet got figure, his chest lightly chiseled with washboard abbs, his jaw thin yet defined the scruff on his face making him look more so mature in the eyes of others, he was very big on manscaping and as a joke he shaved his white patch of "man hair" into a lightning bolt due to a lost bet with Trystin. He took pride in his body, even the scars scattered across his arms. Memories of long ago when he loathed himself and the world around him, when his dad left when things went down full spiral. He still found a way to smile through the pain that had clouded his mind all that while not for himself but for the few people he loved. He looked himself over one last time and turned on the shower for whatever reason enjoying the freezing cold water.

Trystin woke up to the sound of running water from the bathroom, realizing the only one up at five in the morning is Lincoln he turned over and grabbed his phone. Being a drop out had it's perks. No school, no anyoing people, alarms don't go off until twelve thirty, you know the simple shit that would make most happy. Trystin stood up and stretched for once being fully awake at this ungodly hour. He had taken a shower the night before so one wasn't needed today. Looking at the dresser he opened the top drawer pulling out clean clothes for his day. A simple pair of blue skinny jeans, a black long sleeve, and some black vans. His morning was going in the right direction, however he noticed a small puddle had formed on the floor. Clearly from last night's rain, the puddle wasn't large but it was big enough to take notice. He grabbed a towel from a different drawer and layed it onto the wet spot. Leaving the room and heading to the kitchen Trystin began to make a simple breakfast for everyone.

Clyde woke up his eyes gleaming with exitment for new day to come, his inspirational posters all over his walls in the small space making him smile. He stood his slim fingure now touched by the cold air realising he was completely in the nude, he dug through a drawer pulling out his hair pick, a baggy red long sleeve, black skinny jeans, and his red high top converse. He put on his glasses and was rummaging through a bag on the floor looking for his orange label Pual Maul pack and the lighter upon finding them he lit one up and left his room. Seeing Trystin cooking and smelling the intoxicating aroma of bacon and eggs he walked into the kitchen and sat on the counter.

"Clyde do me a favor and grab me my pack, it's on the couch please and thank you man." Trystin adressed him in a calm and stern manner like usual.

"Sure dude, did you start up coffe already should I?" He inquired as he got up and grabbed the camel 99s.

"Coffees done, but if you wanna chill with me while I cook your more than welcome to." He said while pulling out a cigarette moving the pan to light it on the stove, afterwards going back to his cooking.

"Well Lincoln's still in the shower from what I hear, we can chill ain't nothing really going on."

"Exactly my dear friend, now what all do we gotta do today, bills are paid for the month and I'm running low on smokes."

"Well Lucy and Luna need to talk to us about something today, and it's Lincoln's turn to grab smokes, so how much have on hand." Clyde opened his wallet and pulled out a 20 dollar bill. "I got twenty on it."

"Well I got fifty in my dresser, so that's enough to cover us for a while, and from what I remember Lincoln should have thirty giving us an even hundred covering us for the next two weeks."

As Trystin finished up his sentence Lincoln stepped out the bathroom in an orange hoodie, red skinny jeans with tore up knees, and his orange converse. His hair was swooped off to the side and he had a clean shave.

"Let me guess, cigarette run?"

"It's your turn Llinc."

"I know, so we have a hundred total with thrown in, correct?"

"Yeah cause I have fifty in my dresser, Clyde has twenty and you have thirty."

Lincoln walked into Trystin's room and grabbed the fifty from his nightstand, went to his room and grabbed his thirty and his board then walked to Clyde and grabbed his twenty.

"Am I grabbing the usual or something different?"

"I can't afford to keep smoking camels, their getting way to pricy so grab me Paul maul reds full length."

"You know I only smoke Paul maul lights."

"Ok then my Marlboro reds, so I'll be back in like twenty thirty minutes max." Lincoln grabbed his phone and ascended down the ladder heading for the corner store.
