What Have I done? -Lucathy

12 - She's dead.

  "Ok so let me get this straight. So basically when I was sleeping at our tree when some guys tried to kidnap me. You beat one up and the other ran."

  "Yes. And that one is the one you saw at the festival."

  "How did I get back?"

  "I carried you."

  "Like a piggy back?"

  'He would never carry my fireman style.'

  "Are you stupid? If I carried you piggy back you might fall off!"

  "Then how did you carry me?"

  "Bridal style."

  'B-bridal style!?!'

  I blushed furiously.

  "Why are you blushing? It's not the first time I carried you." Lucas smirked at my direction.

  "It's still embarrassing!"

  Lucas chuckled at me blushing like a tomato over what he considered 'small thing'.

  "Lucas do you remember why you had to carry me?"

  "Of course I do! You scared the life out of me!"

  "Hey Papa, what's with the sudden call?"

  "A-athy...."

  "Papa what's wrong?"

  Lucas looked at me slightly worried at my sudden change of tone.

  I put the phone on speaker as we waiting for the green light.

  "Papa?"

  "A-athy s-she..."

  'Its unusual for him to cry.'

  "Papa what wrong?" I tried to sound as soothing as I can.

  "M-mother...."

  'Mother? Is he referring to mummy? Or grandma? He can't be referring to grand ma she's dead....'

  'that means....'

  "What happened to mummy?!" My tone changed in a instant from worried to distressed.

  Lucas tapped my shoulder seeing me slightly panicking.

  "It's ok...." He tried to comfort me we both knew something bad happened.... Papa doesn't cry over anything....

  We saw that it was green light and started walking.

  I felt my legs going weak.

  "S-shes dead..."

  'd-dead?'

  I froze in the spot.

  's-shes dead...' I looked down at my phone while tears started to fill my eyes

  'N-no t-that's not possible... We were going to have a performance tomorrow... S-she promised to come and see me...'

  "Athy....." Lucas stared at me, concerned we were in the middle of the road blocking the cars.

  I grabbed my hair with both my hands as tears stared falling down with no intention to stop what-so-ever.

  I could hear cars honking at us but all sound was blocked from my ears.

  My legs felt numb it wanted to give in and just collapse.

  "Hey!" Lucas said as he grabbed me from almost falling.
