April squealed with excitement to see her cousin as she hugged her in the doorway, "Ahhh! I haven't seen you in years LuLu!" The red head smiled widely at her cousin and nudged her arm, "Same to you April. I'm super excited to be here in New York! I can't wait to see the sites with you!" April smiled and nodded then took Lucia to her room, "Hope this is okay for ya? It's not huge like your country farm room bu-" "Hey no no! I'm good with this! I'm just glad that my dad said I could move in with ya!" April smiled and hugged her cousin again. "We are going to have so much fun I'm happy he said yes!" Both girls talked as Lucia unpacked her bags. Aprils mind was so preoccupied with her cousin she totally forgot about the turtle brothers as Lucia looked up to the ceiling, "Loud neighbors?" April froze but nodded, "Y-Yea...they can get a little noisy some times." She smiled her usual reassuring smile and Lucia shrugged it off.
Later into the evening April ordered them both pizza and Lucia sat in her room staring at an empty canvas. "Ughh...I have no idea what to paint." April appeared at the door and knocked, "Hey LuLu...whatcha working on?" Lucia laughed and rubbed her face and shook her head, "Got no idea yet- no ideas are flowing to me at the moment." She sighed and looked at the canvas," I need something for the college opening next weekend and I have no idea!" April almost choked on her soda as she saw a familiar face pop down smiling until he saw there was an extra person and quickly went back up. Lucia blinked, "You okay?" She stood up and April nodded as her cousin patted her back laughing, "Wrong pipe?" April again nodded laughing softly, hoping the boys knew NOT to come here right now. "T-The pizza should be here in about thirty minutes." Lucia nodded and gave a soft smile as she went back to the canvas. She had no idea the same figure from before peeked back in, curious as to who was in the room.
She left out a soft muffled groan, "This is the first time EVER...I can't think of anything to paint!" The figure soon disappeared and Lucia glanced back, "...Hmm..." She shrugged and got up, walking out of her new room and to go find her cousin. "Hey could I paint you?" April shook her head, "no no no...I don't want you painting me. I'd ruin it!" Lucia gasped and gave her a gently shove, "Oh my god! April O'Neil you would not!" They both laughed and thirty minutes quickly passed by and their pizza was there. The two talked the night away, not have seeing each other for what seemed like forever- they were both fifteen the last time they saw each other. April yawned and stretched, "I'm gonna head to bed...I have to go to some interviews tomorrow since I got let go recently." Lucia frowned, "aw man I had no idea...I'm sorry." April shrugged, "Eh can't really do anything now except move on." Her cousin smiled and nodded, taking a sip of her beer, "I agree with ya there cuz~" They said their goodnights and headed their separate ways to their rooms. Lucia tried to paint something, forcing her mind to focus and stay awake but nothing.
She let out a loud sigh and stood up quickly. She felt that strange feeling again and turned to look at her window. Nothing. She folded her arms and decided to shake it off, walking over to shut her curtains. Lucia turned the bedroom lights off and crawled into her bed. She had painted a field of flowers, half done.
This is just a jump start! I don't know if everyone knows how I pronounce her name or if this is normally but its Lu-c-uh lol. Hope you guys liked the first chapter.
