Lucy's pov:The waves crashed into the beach, splashing white water everywhere, as if to prove how powerful they were. As I was watching them, I felt myself being pulled down by a surge of memories. They weren't exactly memories, but they weren't exactly not memories either. They were like...a puzzle piece you find when you're playing video games and realise that it's missing part of the picture. I could feel the pieces in front of me, but I wasn't able to put the whole picture together with the pieces that I had yet. That is to say, I still wasn't entirely certain what my 'piece' was meant to be. It didn't make sense, though. Not even a bit. My life was pretty confusing to be honest. So many questions unanswered, so many problems looming over my head. But I wanted this feeling to stop. For one day at least. Even for just one second. This strange feeling that I just couldn't shake off, no matter how hard I tried. And the longer it stayed there, the more uncomfortable it made me
Lucy's pov;At school, Alex, "I thought you're dead when you didn't show up for the past week ," said with a smirk as he entered the classroom and plopped himself onto the desk next to me. He was one of those kids that everyone loved to hate. The kind that just had no respect for anyone else. I guess we're all like that in some ways. Casey, "How bad was your fever that made you miss half a week of school?" I sighed and put my head on my hands. The bell rang and class began but I just sat there in my desk chair watching them talk back and forth about who knows what. The teacher walked in and started our lesson. The whole time I kept staring at the clock, counting down every second until it hit 3.30pm. When 3.45 came around, I bolted out of the room before they could call after me. While I was walking to the entrance, I spotted Matt standing outside the gate. Why is he here? When I diverted from my way, Matt started calling out my name loudly enough for everyone to hear. It w
After getting out of the car, I walked into the house that was given to me by Ivan. I had been here for a week, and I already hated it so much! It had everything you needed to make a comfortable home but also nothing in common with mine. The kitchen table, for example, would never fit my desk. Not that I needed one. But I could definitely use it. I closed the door behind and laid on the bed. It's been five days since I met Tyler at the hospital. Daniel and Matt have been calling me nonstop since then, too! I've been ignoring their calls until this very moment. Maybe if I ignored them long enough they would stop trying! How am I going to get those documents to Ivan in time? Should I go to his office in person? No, that might look suspicious, but I don't have a choice right now, do i? I changed my clothes and walked out of the house. After some time, I came to Tyler's office. Everyone greeted me as I entered and walked to Tyler's cabin. After checking the CCTV camera
Tyler's POV;"Why didn't you take your medicines yet? Are you a child or what?" Daniel asked me after placing the medicines on the bedside table by the bed. While I was taking my medicine, he said, "I've talked with the board members about your current condition, and they have decided to postpone important meetings for at least three more days to allow you time to recover." I nodded at him. He continued, "Do not worry about your company for a while and take care of your health." I smiled at him as I replied, "Thank you," Daniel sighed heavily and shook his head slightly saying, "I'm just doing my job. Our grandfather would be upset if I didn't. We're family." "Did you talk to Lucy?" When I asked him, he looked away from me, and then looked back at me and shook his head as he responded. "No. She hasn't responded to any of my calls or messages since the last day of the week.""Is she mad at me?" I asked him, frowning slightly. He looked at me and said, "Of course not!" I gave
Lucy's pov;I came to the hotel where Matt is staying and saw Matt going somewhere. I walked to him and he didn't hear me coming up behind him so when I put my hand on his shoulder he jumped a little bit like he was surprised but then smiled at me like he always does when he sees me. "I have to talk to you." I said. He looked at me as if something was wrong with what I said, but he didn't look angry or upset or anything just curious so I figured it must be okay so I said again, more urgently this time, "Are you going somewhere?" He shook his head and said, "No not really, What do you want to talk about? Do you finally have time to go out with me?" I looked around and said, "Let's talk somewhere quieter," and I started walking towards one of the restaurants that were still open. We got to one of those places that only had a few people there and we sat down on a couple of cushioned chairs outside under an umbrella. Matt started talking before I could even ask him about that fi
Lucy's pov;At school, the day was as sunny as ever. The sky held no clouds, just a blue blanket that stretched to infinity. Giving a sign as the summer is approaching in full swing. When I worked in the club, everyday was the same with serving drinks and making sure the tables were always ready to be taken out. It was all bright lights and annoying loud music, but I enjoyed it anyway. I miss those days when life was easier for me even though I had debts to pay. "Lucy! Hey! Are you listening to me?" Casey asked , her voice snapping me out of my memories. "You look kinda spaced out." She said, I shook my head and returned to reality. "Sorry about that," I apologised with a smile, knowing I have an ugly habit of zoning out. "Your boss looked way too cool even though he had that cast on his leg. How can someone look handsome with a cast?" I laughed at the thought. "Is there any vacancy where you're working?" "You don't have to work under him to flirt with him. If you want to, you
Lucy's pov;When I came to the house, I closed the door behind and went straight to the bedroom and dropped down on the bed. I stared at the ceiling while I tried to process my feelings.I was so angry at myself. Why didn't I push him away? That was the question that kept running through my head as I felt my heart thump against my chest painfully and my hands ball into fists by my sides. Why did I let him get so close to me? I could still feel his lips against my cheek, or rather, I could still hear them in my mind. i wanted to slap him across his face right then and there for doing what he did but i couldn't. I touched my heart which had calmed down a little now asking, "Whenever he comes near me, it's like my body is trying to escape, my heart beats harder, and my palms are sweaty. Do I like him? No!! it's impossible !!" my body shook with every word that i said, "It can never happen! We're just friends. Just friends!" When I thought about that one kiss my heart stopped beating. H
Lucy's pov;I looked at the hand impression on my neck for the hundredth time in ten minutes that morning. Will Tyler notice this? I put on a turtleneck to hide it under an unzipped jacket, but he’s always been able to see through me like a hole in the wall. Let's just be careful today and hope he doesn't mention anything about it, especially if he asks what happened. When I came to the hospital, I went straight to Tyler's room and he was talking with the nurse while she was changing the cast on his leg. He looked at the clock when I entered, smiled and then continued talking about his plans for the weekend. I looked around for Daniel but I couldn't see him so I settled next to Tyler and continued listening to him. Daniel wasn't in the waiting room or corridor while I was heading to Tyler's room. Tyler, "You can pack your clothes and come back to our house since I'm getting discharged." He said. I nodded and asked, "Are you feeling better now?" He gave me a thumbs up and
