Lucy's pov;I woke up to the ceiling in my room . I sighed and rubbed my eyes, trying to adjust to the darkness that had settled around me. My mind raced as memories of last night came back to me. The door opened and Daniel walked in , carrying a tray with some breakfast on it. "I'm not hungry." I said, sitting up from my bed and pulling my knees closer to my chest. It wasn't an excuse, I just didn’t feel like facing him right now. He placed the tray while saying with a stern tone in his voice “Eat your food." "Did Tyler wake up? Did he ask for me?" When I tried to get up from the bed, he grabbed my hand and made me sit on the bed saying with a soft voice "No, not yet. Don’t worry about him right now. He is still asleep." He let go of my hand and put the tray down next to where I was laying. I took a piece of bread from the tray, and started eating it, while glancing at Daniel. When he saw my glance, he gave me a weak smile that seemed forced, and said, "If you're worried about
Lucy's pov;I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried, so I sat by the window and gazed at the night sky filled with different patterns of stars. Among them, the north star was shining brightly in the sky as if it was speaking to me. I never thought my life would become a mess like this. There was a knock on the door bringing me back to reality. Why is Daniel knocking at my door? After turning the lights on, I walked to the door and when I opened it, Tyler was standing. He looked like he was about to fall so I held him and took him into my room, closing the door behind. After making Tyler sit on my bed, I took a seat in the chair near the bed. When I looked at him, he seemed like he had something to say. "What is it?" I asked him.He looked into my eyes saying, "Are you upset about not going out today?" I shook my head saying, "A little. But it's okay. We can go out later. It's not like we're going to tomorrow, right? We still have…"Before I finished, Tyler closed my mou
Lucy's pov;"Lucy… where are you?" Tyler wandered off while laying on my bed. "I'm right here." I said as I was making a place next to him on the bed. "I can't see you… where are you? Where did you go?" I turned his head and made him look at me and ask, "Do you see me now?" He smiled and said, "Why do you look so beautiful? Don't you know it's a crime to be so beautiful and rude at the same time?" "Rude?" "Even though I've tried to forget the fact that you're leaving, you remind me every day, every time which irritates me. Why do you keep telling me this? Do I look like a forgetful person to you or do you like hurting me?" "I didn't mean to hurt you." he pushed my hands away from his face and held my shoulders as he asked, "Then why are you telling me this? Every time I think about you, I feel like I should lock you in this house and hide you from the outside world." I took his hand from my shoulder saying, "This is a crime." He got up on the bed and shouted, "I don't care!"
Lucy's pov;At school, while I was doing my assignment, Casey tapped on my shoulders saying, "What are you doing here?" And leaned closer taking a look at my notebook and continued, "Wasn't this due next Friday?" "Yeah, but I have nothing to do anyways."She took the notebook away from me saying, "Then hangout with us today." "I'm not in a condition to go anywhere. Give me back my notebook."She touched my forehead and pressed my shoulders, arms like checking for a weapon."What are you doing?" "Everything is its place. Let's hangout together." I took the notebook from her saying, "I can't. I have a meeting with the discipline committee after school."She talked with her gang and said to me, "We'll wait for you."I shook my head asking, "Don't wait and waste your time for me. The meeting may extend because someone filed a report."She put her hands over my shoulders saying, "It's alright. We'll wait. Because that's what friends do." And gave me a smile before going to her squad.
Lucy's pov;At the hospital, while Tyler and Daniel talking to Mr Anderson, i came to the hospital cafetaria to buy coffee for both of them. The staff placed the coffee on the stand while saying, "One cappuccino and one large expresso." I grabbed them and walked to the elevator but got stopped after seeing Ivan in the hospital. quickly i hid from him and looked at him. he was talking seriously with the person in front of him. i never seen the other guy before. is he an acquaintance or a friend? I thought, 'What is he doing here? Is it because Mr Anderson is admitted here? is he here because of him?' I walked around them and hide behind the window to eavesdrop on them. Ivan, "Mr Higgs will get mad if he know about this. I don't know what to answer if he asked me about this."the other guy said, "Sir, I'll take the responsibility.""Cut the nonsense. He must have..." I couldn't hear them after those words. when i took a peek at them, they were already leaving the hospital. What are
Lucy's pov;I texted Tyler that I was leaving for home and walked out of the hospital. Someone tapped on my shoulder as I walked to the bus terminal, forcing me to look at them. When I did, it was Ivan. I ignored him and kept walking down the street. "Where are your bodyguards?" He teased me and asked, "What's the progress on the work I gave you?" he asked when I didn't respond. "Did you come across anything?" I sighed and said, "Just leave me alone for a little while.""If now is not the appropriate time to discuss it, when should we discuss it? When are you going to be free?""I believe it's time to call it a day here." He grabbed my hand and forced me to look at him, asking sternly, "What did you mean by that?" "I'm really perplexed right now. I have no idea what I'm doing or what to do. I feel as if I'm lost somewhere.""Lucy...""I don't want to do this any longer. I couldn't take the guilt any longer. I don't want to deceive Tyler any longer. I no longer want to work for you.
Lucy's pov;Daniel, "We've been walking for quite some time. What are our plans?" "I didn't invite you to accompany me. Please leave me alone." "I won't." "Why are you so stubborn? I'm not interested in seeing your face... At least for now." "Then give me a hint where we're going," he said after some time. "To my home." "Do you mean Tyler's?" I came to a halt in front of him and said, "No, my house." And he kept walking with me. "Where do you live?" "It's about 2 kilometres away." "And do you want us to walk that distance?" He jumped in front of me. "I didn't invite you." "But I just can't leave you alone.""I'm not a kid to have someone look for me." "Did you forget that you and Tyler are being pursued by mysterious men? What if they just appear out of nowhere?" He came to a halt in front of me and said, "Hey, I don't think going to your place is a good idea. What if they're expecting you over there? Will you not be in danger then?" "You're forgetting that I used to be
Lucy's pov;Rupert and Daniel were discussing CCTV footage from that day of the accident. Rupert had caught a glimpse of someone who looked suspiciously in the footage. But while they argued, I noticed something strange: Dean was actually staring right back at me!I felt my heart drop when our eyes met and I quickly looked away, embarrassed by my own behavior. But as soon as Rupert and Daniel finished talking, Dean quickly composed himself and went back to his usual business of avoiding eye contact with me.During this time, I tried to avoid eye contact with him as much as possible and focused my attention on Rupert and Daniel. Rupert, “With the information i gathered, this guy is not in town right now. If we find his whereabouts and get hold of him, then there's a chance of catching him in the act.”Dean, “We can't just do that though. We'll get arrested if we try to get him without a warrant or probable cause."Rupert, “Yes we can! We have nothing better to do! And I'm sick and tir
