Chapter 4 Moving In
After gathering all of her things at the Luthor Mansion and her belongings, Lucy had packed up and left quickly not wanting another run-in with Lex Luthor. She followed the directions to the Kent Farm that Jonathan gave her. It was nice of them to offer her a place to stay. She had once heard from Lex and his dad that the Kents were kind people.
She had called her fellow band members to tell them she was moving and that she would find them a new place for them and her to practic her songs. She just had to ask the Kents if she and the Band could use the Barn. That way, Lucy wouldn't disturb the Kents in their own home. Lucy had also remembered to bring her electric guitar and Keyboard with her. Besides her talent for singing and songwriting, Lucy also played Instruments. She liked to think of herself as an aspiring artist and musician.
But, now her one and only chance at having a record deal was gone she thought sadly. Oh well, it was always nice to dream wasn't it? She thought as she pulled into the Kents driveway. It was soon going to be dark and she had better get inside. She blowed the horn to let them know she was there.
"Hi, you must be Lucy!" Mrs. Kent said warmly, welcoming Lucy into their home. Jonathan and Clark had told her that Lucy was going to be staying with them, and Martha agreed that one extra person wouldn't be a burden. It was always nice to have a new face around the house, and Lucy seemed to be a friendly person. Everyone needed a helping hand once in awhile, and it felt nice to give back to the community that offered so much help.
"Hello", said Lucy greeting Martha. "You're Mrs. Kent, right?"
"Right, Honey", she said, "Its so nice to meet you. I've heard alot about you from Jonathan and Clark". Lucy nodded. "I can keep to myself mostly. Really, I don't want to be a burden. Letting me stay in your house is more than generous".
Mrs. Kent dismissed Lucy's statement with a wave of her hand. "Nonsense", she said. "You live here, and as long as you're living here with us, you're part of the family. There's no need to keep to yourself. We're more than happy to have another person to talk to".
"Thank you, Mrs. Kent", Lucy smiled. "You're so kind". Their heads turned as Clark came into the room, looking at Martha. "Mom, I think we need more-" he suddenly realized that Lucy was in the room. "Oh, hi, Lucy", he said cheerfully, and Lucy greeted him as well.
"Honey, why don't you help Lucy with her bags?" Mrs. Kent asked Clark. "Of Course", Clark said, and reached to help Lucy. "It's okay, I can carry them myself". she said. "No, that's fine really I can help" Clark replied, lifting Lucy's luggage.
"Well, thanks". she said
"Come on, I'll show you to your room". said Clark.
Lucy followed Clark up the stairs she passed his bedroom and into another room that was turned into a guest room. It was nice, airy, and cheerful decorated in Blue and Aqua colors.
She sat her Instruments down in one corner and thought to herself. How on earth was she going to explain In words to ask the Kents if she could use their barn or her room for the matter to practice her music? Lucy most definately wouldn't play music in the house at night. she'd move the band out to the barn if it came to that or do something
