Rigby stood outside of Lacy's door contemplating on how he was going to do this. He hated apologizing to people but he also hated everyone hating him. Plus after a couple of hours of thinking he decided maybe Mordecai was right, not that he would admit it, he was so quick to accuse Lacy of being a bad person that he didn't sit back and look at the facts. Skips trusted her, Mordecai trusted her, and she hadn't done any harm in the weeks she had been here, other than keeping him awake at night. He sighed and gathering up his courage knocked on the door then stood back, waiting for it to open. When it didn't he knocked again, this time he did get an answer, a harsh one.

"Go away Rigby." Lacy snapped from the other side. Rigby grimaced by her tone, how did she even know it was him? He thought about adhering to her request for a moment, but he was always the pushy type.

"Come on Lacy, lemme in!" He whined. The door whipped opened and revealed to Rigby, what he could only describe as, the wrath of an angry female.

"What do you want?" Her demeanor was calm but Rigby could feel the scary aura omitting from her petite body, he'd almost rather have her yelling at him. Taking in a breath of air he stuttered out, his words jumbled,

"I-I'm sorry Lacy! I'msuchajerkandIknowyouhatemerightnowbutIwantedyoutoknowI'msupersorryandIwouldliketogeto-" She cut him off,

"ALRIGHT!" The sudden outburst made him quiet and she sighed,

"Yes, you are a jerk. A HUGE jerk, but I have come to learn it's just your personality. I don't why you think of me the way you do, and its kind of annoying. If you want to get to know me then fine, but tonight is not the night, nor is tomorrow. Try again next week." Then she shut the door. Rigby was confused, did she forgive him? He guessed he would just have to take what he could right now, he probably didn't even deserve it. Groaning in regret he went back stairs, pondering what he should do. Mordecai was with Muscle Man and HFG, he probably told them what had happen and Rigby did not want to deal with the heat he would get from High Five. He didn't understand why Lacy and HFG were so close, he assumed that HFG liked her but if that was true why didn't he ask her out? Who knows, that guy was weird. So was Lacy though, they'd be perfect together.

Suddenly a stroke of inspiration hit Rigby and smiled, he knew exactly how to fix this.


Lacy grumbled to herself as she roughly brushed the curls out of her hair. She didn't know why what Rigby had said had bothered her so much, but it did. She knew it was true, no decent guy would ever want to date her, but it didn't mean he had to point it out. Plus what was with that whole 'murder; bull crap? What had she ever done to make him think something like that?! Nothing that's what. She sighed sitting the brush now, he did apologize and she somewhat forgave him-after all it was just his personality to be like that- but that didn't stop her from being hurt and angry. Maybe she should quit being so sensitive.

She grabbed a cloth and began to remove her makeup, not that there was a lot to remove. She hated makeup oddly enough, it didn't make her feel pretty, it made her feel covered up and fake. She couldn't believe that earlier she almost enjoyed being fake, honestly what was with her lately? Was it because she knew that she would have to be fake to get anyone to like her? Speaking of which, she had determined that Jeremy was nothing but an arrogant jerk. Not only did he fall for her little act, his personality in general was horrible!

Lacy couldn't believe she would have to put up with this! But maybe that would make crushing him more enjoyable. She flopped down onto her bed, feeling sleep begin to take over her body, and curled her knees up to her chest letting her eyes flutter close.

"Tired girly?" A voice said. Startled, her eyes shot open and in a panic she fell off the bed. These actions were greeted with obnoxious laughter and she growled, recognizing the intruder.

"Why?" She asked sitting up rubbing her head, glaring at Death who snorted,

"You did it yourself. I just came to check up on you."

"One, you are not my father therefore you do not need to 'check up me'. Two, as you can see I am fine so please, leave." She crossed her arms, staring him down.

"Are you really? I heard that little comment downstairs and I know how sensitive to the truth you are." Her mouth dropped open, he was watching? And he said it was true...

"S-so what? I don't care! Why would I?" She desperately tried to defend herself. Death smirked,

"You think you have this wall around where no one can get in, but someone has, hasn't he? I know what your feelings are on the inside," He was suddenly behind her, stroking her hair. Lacy had to fight not to tremble at his touch. He continued on, words clear in her head,

"He would never feel the same, you're nothing to him other than a friend. And if he knew what you really are he would never want anything to do with you. So you might as well continue to hide your feelings."

He wasn't in front of her anymore to see that tears had formed in her eyes, but she knew he could sense them. He chuckled,

"Well, since you're fine I guess I'll take my leave." And that he was gone. Lacy stood there for a moment, he was completely right. She knew it was true, so why did it hurt so much? She sat down on the bed getting in the fetal position and letting the tears flow.


A/N: Slightly shorter than usual but...eh I'll post it anyway. So I hope you're still enjoying this story and it doesn't suck now *hopeful face is hopeful* I've decided that Oh No! by Marina and the Diamonds is the perfect song for this story! Also just like to point out a horrible fact you may not have ever known. I use to be friends with this horrid, fake girl that everyone-including me- hated, but being the baby I am I couldn't tell her how I really felt. Anyway this girl is a terrible driver but I would always go out to lunch with her since we have open lunch. Well the week before thanksgiving we got into a crash I almost died, I'm fine now just have a little PTS. You guys almost never got to see this story update again. Think about that for a moment. Scary right?
