Lucy's pov;Speaking to the Northern Star like imagining it as Tyler, "I was never afraid of people leaving me in the past. Because I never had anyone close to me to lose. Even when my dad died, I never felt alone because he was never there for me when I needed him the most. But why am I afraid now? Why do I feel that you will reject me when you know the truth? I thought you would forgive me, but why do I feel like you won't? Like you said before, do you judge me by my past like everyone else?"While I was staring at the night sky, the door opened and Daniel walked in saying, "I knew you would be still awake." I ignored him and continued looking at the sky. He took a seat near the window sill and asked, "Are you still thinking about what Tyler said at the dining table? You know that he was teasing me. He didn't mean you." I interrupted him and said, "But he wasn't wrong though. People do get judged by their past no matter how they are today." I paused and asked him, "Are you here to

Lucy's pov;Casey tapped my shoulder and asked, "I've been calling your name for a while. Can't you hear me?" "Huh?" "What are you thinking so deeply that it has made you deaf?" I leaned on my desk and said, "I think I made a mistake giving my name to the camp. I don't know how I'm going to stay in school for the next two days." "Are you tired of seeing our face or… did you miss someone?" "What?" She tapped on my forehead and said, "You look like a lost puppy. Don't worry, it's only for two days and not two years." I groaned and lay down on the table and sighed again. She got up from her desk and asked, "I'm going to the cafeteria. Are you coming with me?" "No." "Do you want me to buy anything for you?" "Yes, I want to go home." She sighed and left the classroom with her friends. And I turned away from her to the window. The sun had already set when a warm orange hue filled the sky with oblique rays in the sky. I let out a sigh and closed my eyes. Among the oblique rays I

Lucy's pov;Some were playing, some were chatting and some were on the phone. As I tried to leave, Casey held my hand and asked, "Where are you going?" "I'll be back in a minute." "Okay, come soon. It will be your turn soon." I nodded and got up from Casey and his gang playing truth or dare. As I walked out of the basketball court, I saw a figure in the dark. I leaned against the door as if I didn't notice it. Who is that? Is this one of my classmates? While I was figuring out the dark figure in the bush, the door opened and Alex stepped out and looked both ways. When he saw me, he walked up to me and asked, "Who was that on the phone?" "Why do I have to tell you?" "Was this person close to you?" When I didn't answer, he said, "Is that your mom or dad?" I sighed and said, "What are you doing here?" "Didn't you tell me to stop teasing so I'm trying to learn. From you." I rolled my eyes and said, "I'm not a model student." I heard another noise from the bushes. This time it wa

Lucy's pov;On Monday morning I returned home after the training camp. I walked around the house to find Tyler but he wasn't there. Daniel came out of the kitchen and said, "Tyler left for the office." I grabbed my bag and walked up the stairs. Daniel asked, "Did you know Dean before this?" I stopped and asked, "What?" "I noticed you looking at Dean in the cafeteria. Do you know him from anywhere?" "Yeah, sort of." "How did you know him? Did he catch you stealing someone's property?" I looked at him and said, "I know him. So what?" "I'm just asking. Since all the problems have already been solved, I don't want this to continue." He paused and said, "No wonder you are often a target of strangers, since you disagree with almost half of the people of Colorado." And let out a smirk. "Better that they're strangers than a family trying to kill, right?" As he stared, I continued smiling, "I'm not wrong though." And went to my room. What's wrong with him After he took a shower, me

Lucy's pov;When I entered the TA company, the receptionist greeted me with a bright smile as I headed to the elevator. When the elevator door opened, I saw Catherine get out and talk on the phone. I tried not to catch her eye, but she caught me. "Lucy?" I waved a small hand, "Hey..." She said to whoever was on the other side of the call, "I'll call later to discuss." And put the phone back in her coat. She hugged me and asked, "How are you? It's been months since I saw you." "I feel good to see you after a long time too.""Are you here to see Mr. Ackerman?" I nodded and asked, "Yes. Is he in his office or…” She tapped me on the shoulder and said, "The meeting just ended, so he's in his cabin.""Okay, I'll go check on him then."She nodded and said, "We should hang out sometime. It was so nice when you worked here. We had a lot of fun. I miss those days." While she was talking, her phone rang, she said to me, "Okay, go see him. We'll meet up later." And talked on her phone. I no

Lucy's pov;I foolishly trusted that everything would improve shortly. My miserable past and present are the same. I stopped believing in better days since I don't think they will come, so I made the decision to flee the want that had me. As I stood on the abandoned bridge and looked at the front, I could hear water flowing beneath it. When I closed my eyes, I remembered my father's death. I thought he was a coward for taking his life and leaving me alone. But I can understand how bad he felt then. How hard it is to raise a child with nothing to spend. I always ran out of the house to escape him, but he stayed behind. He had to go through so much to take care of me. I always whined that he wasn't there for me but I wasn't there for him either. I never once spoke nicely to him. I realised that I was the one who hated him all my life. Tears began to roll down my cheeks as I thought more about my father. I made the mistake of not staying behind. I was wrong when I didn't understand his l

Lucy's pov; I told Tyler the reason for the kiss because I don't want to hide it from him. The only man who is with me in all my bad times. I don't want to lose him either. After hearing everything from me, he held my hand and said: "Let's go home." I pulled my hand from his and said, "I don't want to. Leave me here and go." "What do you mean by that?" “You don't want someone like me. Let's end it here." "What do you want to end?" "A contract, a marriage, whatever between us. Let's end it here." He made me look at him and asked, "Do you really want this to end even though you like me?" "Did I ever say I like you? Why do you draw your conclusions? I don't like you.” "You're lying." I shook my head and said, “No, I'm not lying. You are the one who denies the truth." He held my hands tightly and asked, "Why are you lying?" "I'm not!" I stood up and tried to leave, but he grabbed my hand and forced me to stop. . asking, "Why are you lying to me?” “I'm not lying. I didn't like yo

Tyler's pov;I had been looking for Lucy everywhere, for days now. I had checked her usual spots, called her friends and scoured the city. But I couldn't find her. I asked the private investigator who I asked to find Lucy to see if he had any leads. He told me he was still looking for her too, but had no luck so far. I thanked him and decided to go back into the city to look again. I drove around town from sunrise to sunset, checking everywhere I could think of that she might have gone - parks, restaurants, the bridge, her old job - but it was always the same: no sign of Lucy. My search finally led me to a small cafe in a secluded part of town that neither of us had ever been before. A waitress there said she remembered seeing someone matching Lucy's description a few days ago with another woman. Maybe it's Mrs Smith whom she always talks about. With the connecting flight, It took me three hours to get to Mrs Smith's apartment in El Paso, but it was dark. I knocked on the door and cal
