Beautiful Melody

Knowing there is no way I could survive another second without a cigarette, I was left with no other choice but to ask to bum one off of my parents, preferably my father since mom has gotten attached to menthol. "Can I bum a fag?" I questioned hopefully. My mother turned and looked at me "Your out?" "I wouldn't be asking mum if I had my own." I retorted annoyed with her stupid question. "Well maybe you should take this opportunity to quit. After all your only 17." I let out a frustrated groan. I was ready to start kicking the back of my parents seats like a child throwing a temper tantrum. However, my father came to my rescue "Stop nagging the boy, it's been a long day he's stressed out." the next thing I knew a pack of cigarettes was tossed into my lap. I looked up into the review mirror and locked eyes with my father. I gave him a grateful smile as I stuck a cancer stick into my mouth and lit it as fast as I could.

"You're a terrible influence" mom accused punching dad's arm "One that you can't get enough of" he laughed. "roll your window down Blaze, you know better" mom lectured me "and welcome to Twilight Valley" she added. I rolled the window down and took a good look outside. The rain had started to finally slow down. I had been expecting a small town, but was pleasantly surprised to find that Twilight Valley was in fact a city… well from the looks of it a small city, but a city none the less.

The car began slowing down and soon came to a stop in front of our new home.
