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;At school, everyone was lined up outside of the gymnasium. While I was walking to them, Jason waves at me. ‘Yo’ he mouthed and I nodded in return and walked to stand along with my classmates. Casey, "I thought you wouldn't show up." "Why?" "Your boss is getting discharged today, right?" "How did you know about it?" "The nurse told me she heard that they were doing some sort of release paperwork." I nodded and asked, "Do you know how long it will take for them to vote?" she shrugged in response and said, "It depends on people how long they take to vote." Suddenly, The class president asked me, "Lucinda Jones. You're supposed to be standing in front of Luke. What are you doing here? Go back and stand with him." I nodded and walked to the back of the group where Luke stood. While I was standing and checking the time from now and then, Luke asked, "Alex told me that you backed away from running for the vice president position.""Yeah, I'm not so good with people, you

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;"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 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
