A groan emerged from Lux as she heard the annoying buzzing sound from her alarm clock. The clock read that it was eight – twenty in the morning. After hitting the alarm clock several times , she pulled the covers over her head and attempted to go back to sleep. Two minutes passed by and Cate opened the door to make sure that Lux was awake for her big day. Today , Lux would be leaving with Tasha to go to college.
Cate gently sat on the bed and began pulling the covers down while smiling. " Sweetie , you have to wake up if you want to go to college on time". Lux opened her eyes and sat up in her bed while looking at Cate before speaking. "I am going to stop by Ryan's before Tash and I head out". Even though Ryan was not with Cate anymore , Lux still thought of him as a second father. Also , Cate and Ryan still continued to be friends , which made things easier for everyone.
Her mother nodded her head and raised an eyebrow. " Would you like any breakfast?" Lux froze when she was asked about breakfast. It was well known that Cate Cassidy was not a good cook. Her mother sensed Lux's feeling and chuckled. " Don't worry , your Dad is making chocolate chip pancakes for everyone". After hearing Cate's words , Lux hopped out of bed and walked to the kitchen where Baze was cooking pancakes. When Baze noticed her presence , a Cheshire cat like grin appeared on his face. " Morning , kiddo". Once the pancakes were ready , everyone sat down at the table and talked about nothing in particular.
Two hours passed by quickly and it was time for Lux to leave the house. Everyone was quiet since no one knew what to say. After Baze loaded Lux's car , he shut the trunk's door. Cate began crying as she looked at her daughter. Lux smiled at her before speaking. " Don't cry Mom , it's not like I'm moving across the country. You guys can always visit". Cate wiped her tears and chuckled slightly. " I know Sweetie , you know me … I overreact". After promising her parents that she would call once she arrives at the college , she hugged them both at least twice and opened her car door. Before she sat into the drivers seat , she looked at them again before speaking. " I love you both , be good while I'm gone". She laughed at their joke of her being the parent and the two of them being the children. " Well I guess this is it …". Lux gave them another hug and got into her car. As she left the house , she honked the horn three times.
It was not long until Lux arrived at Ryan and Julia's house. After locking her car door , she walked up the stairs and rang the door bell. Julia opened the door thirty seconds later with Zachary in her arms. Zachary was almost three and thought of Lux as his honorary sister. She felt the exact same way about him. Julia smiled at Lux and handed Zachary to her before speaking. " Ryan is in the living room". The three walked inside and Lux rushed over to Ryan who was sitting on the couch , researching something on the Internet. Once he saw her he got up and gave her a tight hug before speaking to her. " I cannot believe you are already going to college. It seems like yesterday that we had met". Zachary wanted to play so Lux sat on the floor with him. She watched him as he giggled and played with his toy cars.
Not long after her arrival , a disgusting smell emerged from Zachary's diaper. Julia went upstairs so that Ryan and Lux could have some privacy , so that they could talk. Lux looked at him with a small smile on her face. " Zach is amazing Ryan , I'm glad your dream finally came true". He stared at her for a minute before he began speaking. " You know Lux , I may not be your father , but I am always going to be there for you". His statement made Lux's face brighten up. " Thank you Ryan , you mean a lot to me". Lux stayed for about an hour before she had to leave. After giving Ryan a hug , she left for Tasha's apartment.
Once Lux arrived at Tasha's apartment , she helped her get the luggage into the car."Lux looked at her best friend before speaking. Ready , Tash?" It was not long until the girl's were on the road. With the radio on full blast and the windows down , the girls were having a blast.
The girls finally reached their dorm room around dinner time. After grabbing a bite to eat , the girls unpacked their belongings and set up their dorm room. She got her cellphone out and began to write a message to her parents and Ryan. " We made it safely. Love y'all". Once she hit send , Lux decided to call Jones . However , his phone went straight to voice mail. Natasha looked at her with a raised eyebrow. " How about we go to the club ". Lux agreed to go to the club.
When they got to the club , the club was extremely packed. Music was blaring loudly while people were dancing. Tasha managed to get Lux onto the dance floor after begging her. Once one of the songs ended , Lux gasped as she got Natasha's attention. " Oh my God is that ….". She stood on the dance floor , shocked. Lux Cassidy was not expecting to see that person.
