Lucy's pov;Daniel dropped me in front of Tyler's house and tried to leave without coming in so I asked, "Aren't you going to come inside?" "I have to get to work." "Okay then, but don't forget to come tonight. Since you bought lunch for me, dinner's on me. I'll be waiting for you.""Okay." and drove off Tyler's driveway with his window rolled down. I walked up the concrete steps that led into the house. I opened it and went inside. There were only a couple of lights in the place. It wasn't very dark or light either. The windows all had shades over them but I could still make out a few things as I moved along. As my eyes got used to the darkness, they started picking out details. I turned on the lights and walked to the kitchen , where the refrigerator was. It contained nothing but a few frozen dinners, some eggs and milk which was about all there was in the fridge. "There's nothing here ." And I said this to myself and decided to hit the nearby supermarket. The one not too far a
Lucy's pov;Daniel opened the door as he was holding me inside his arms, and when the door opened, I could see a couple of people standing hiding the bed from view. I didn't care to see who was standing and walked inside, shutting the door behind us. After hearing the sound of the door, the ones standing near the bed moved away, allowing us to see Tyler lying on the bed. He gave me a smile as soon as he saw me but I was more concentrated on the bandages over his forehead, chin, hands…With tears filled eyes, I went over to him and stood beside the bed without a word. Unfortunately there was no cast on him. Tyler says to others in the room, "Leave us alone." His voice was weak but he had enough strength to speak. So the two other guys that were waiting left along with Daniel. Leaving Tyler and myself alone.Tyler held my hand and said while pointing at the chair beside the bed and said, "Have a seat." After I sat down, I looked at Tyler who was covered in bandages. I asked him, "
Lucy's pov;The next morning at the dining table, I flinched a little when the spoon touched my lips with such a sharpness it sent sparks through me. Tyler noticed and asked me, "What happened?" I gave a stare at him and said, "Because of you." "What did I do now?" I pointed at my lips and said, "It got bruised when you fell on me last night." He chuckled and said, "Sorry about that. But that was absolutely unintentional!" "That's what you say, but don't think this will happen again." I glared at him. He smiled back and said, "You're so mean." I ignored him and continued eating the food. After a few seconds, he asked, "Are you prepared for tomorrow?" "Prepared for what?" "For the school. Tomorrow's your first day of school.""Oh god. Is that really necessary? Can't I just stay home and study?" "If you want to succeed in life, you have to start preparing yourself from the start." I sighed and said, "Alright. Whatever you say." "I'm glad you understand. don't worry,
Lucy's pov;"Lucy! Lucy!" I heard Tyler screaming out my name which made me wake up from my sleep. After taking a look at the time, I went back to sleep again. This time I heard it clearly. "Come on Lucy, wake up!" It was Tyler again. When I opened my eyes, I saw him standing right beside my bed with that concerned face of his. "What are you doing here?" I sat up and looked around me, confused as hell. "Today is your first day of school. Don't be late on your first day. it would only create a bad impression on you." he said while shaking me awake. I rubbed my tired eyes and sighed. "Okay, okay," I mumbled. Before going to the bathroom, I turned to him and asked, "Do I really have to go to school today?" He raised one eyebrow before answering. "Yes Lucy, of course." I sighed and walked into the bathroom after grabbing a towel with me. While I was in the shower, I heard him saying, "Don't sleep in there. Get a shower quickly and come downstairs." And I didn't hear his voice after
Lucy's pov;At the dining table, Tyler and Daniel looked focused on their food while I was taking glances at them. Tyler didn't talk to me after nursing a wound on my lips. Is he mad at me? I didn't expect him to forgive me so soon but it's weird to see him being mad at me. Because he's the one who always makes me feel better when I am upset but today his eyes were cold. I broke the silence and said, "I'm sorry." His eyes didn't change when I uttered those words. He didn't look at me at all. He didn't even lift a finger. It's weird for him not to show his emotions. I continued, "I said I'm sorry. I will try to control myself from now on." When Tyler looked at me, I continued, "I'll be more careful." Daniel asked me, "What happened? Why are you apologising to him?" When Tyler still remained silent and ignored him, he added, "Did something happen between you two?" I said that everything was alright between us before he even finished his question. Then I told him that he didn't have t
Lucy's pov;Under the stranger's grip, my arms were bound by my wrists behind me with his hand, so that I was forced to stand without moving my hands. His body felt like metal as he leaned upon me, but in a strange and frightening manner it was not unpleasant to have him against me. I kicked him in his knees, hoping this would make him let go of me. He did nothing but grunt and press himself harder onto my body with his body weight, forcing me deeper into his embrace. He turned me around to face him as he held my wrist together behind me in the same way that he had earlier done to keep me tied. After seeing his face, I couldn't help but stare back at his face, it was one that I could not remember. The eyes which stared at me seemed dark and evil, but they didn't appear to be filled with malice or evil intentions, they looked rather empty. They did not reflect any sort of emotion whatsoever. He wore an expressionless mask as he smiled sinisterly at me, as if trying to show me what he
Lucy's pov;After Daniel left, I walked for a while without knowing where I was going and ended up on a beach. It was deserted so I sat down on the sand. The waves came close to me and I could hear them hitting the shore but were blocked by water. I felt like I didn't want to cry, or cry, or think about what had happened. I didn't feel like thinking, not really. my head was too full with all of the things that i had just done and said and thought. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to cry at all so I tried to stop myself from crying and I was unsuccessful. Instead, I let go of all the tears that had been inside of me. It was a long process. There was nothing else I could do to stop it. Eventually, all of the sadness came out in streams of tears that ran down my face and I looked into the ocean, hoping that I would see something there. but all i saw was a lot more saltwater and some rocks. no life. just sea and salt and me sitting on this beach, wishing for something better and not being
Lucy's pov;After getting ready for school, I came downstairs to see Daniel sitting at the kitchen table. He was staring absentmindedly out of the window while sipping his coffee. I walked in, took a seat next to him and asked, "Where's Tyler?" He turned to me, and said, "He wasn't here when I got up. Must have left for work early." I thought, 'He promised to have meals with me but didn't keep it.' I looked down at my empty plate and sighed, then picked it up and tried to go to the kitchen. Daniel stopped me and asked, "Where are you taking the empty plate?" I sat again and put some spaghetti on my plate to eat. He gave me a weird look and went back to sipping his coffee. After I ate it, I stood up and said to him, "I'm going to class now." and walked to the front door after grabbing my bag. While I was putting on my shoes, Daniel said, "I'll drop you." "I'll take the bus." and walked out of the house. "After what happened last night, I don't think it's safe to travel alo
