Lucy sat on the couch pulling me into her arms, she kissed my head and I closed my eyes as she rubbed my back. Although the panic attack lasted less than ten minutes I still felt like shit. Lucy kissed my head again and turned on the TV, I heard the Simpsons playing but it didn't last long before I was asleep.

I woke in bed, Lucy was sleeping beside me with her arm draped over my stomach. I moved her arm off me and went to shower, I looked at my phone to see it was eight AM. One more hour till Luca came him. I made coffee and toast and sat at the kitchen table looking down at my phone, I wanted to see more pictures of mom with her new family... but I shouldn't. My mind started to wonder, where's my dad? I had none of his family on Facebook, I never met any of them except one of his sisters. My figure hovered over the Facebook app but my heart jumped when I heard a knock at the door. I got up and went over opening it.

"Dolly," Luca said hugging me tightly.

"Hey honey, how was it?" I asked.

"It went good." Chris cut him off. "I'll see you next Friday bud." I rolled my eyes as he left.

"Have you had breakfast?" I asked and he nodded.

"I had Mc Donald's." Who in their right mind feeds a kid Mc Donald's for breakfast?

"How was it at your mom's?" I asked.

"It was ok I guess." He shrugged. "It just felt like-"

"Good morning, sorry I slept in," Lucy said coming over and kissing me lightly then hugging Luca.

"It's ok, he just got here."

"How was it?" She asked.

"It was fine, it just felt like another foster home. She had my room done with dinosaurs, she said it was my favourite toy when I was a baby. I told her I don't remember."

"Have you eatin'?" She asked.

"I had Mc Donald's this morning." He said.

"Did you want to go take a bath and relax or play video games or something?" I asked.

"I didn't get much time to read so can I do that?"

"Of course honey." I smiled at him and he ran to his room. "Mc Donald's. For breakfast." I said to Lucy. "What so-called mother give their kid fuc-"

"Hey, hey, hey, calm down." She rubbed both my shoulders. "Remember last night, we talked about treating our kids sometimes."

"But how do I know that isn't all she fed him? She-"

"Kitten, you need to breathe ok? Well, find out what he had to eat."

"Wouldn't that look weird us asking him what he ate?"

"Come here." She took my hand in hers and we went to his room. "Is there anything inperticurler you want for dinner today?" Lucy asked him.

"I don't care." He said looking up at is from his book.

"Well, What'd you have at your mums so we don't give you the same thing."

"We made homemade spaghetti together and garlic bread."

"Ok, so no pasta. How about, pizza?"

"Sure." He smiled. "I love pizza."

"Ok, good." She smiled and we walked away.

"She let him use a stove and knives?" I said and Lucy sighed.

"Kitten, you need to calm down ok? He came back in one piece, he looks happy and ok so calm down." She kissed my head and I sighed. "Have you been taking your pills?" She asked. I looked up at her.

"Lucy I'm allowed to be upset-"

"I know, I'm just asking." I crossed my arms and went to the living room. I sat on the couch and hugged my knees to my chest, a few minutes later Lucy walked over with a mug and a pill.

"L-"

"Kitten, I'm not asking." I rolled my eyes. "Office. Now." She said as I took the pill from her swallowing it and pushing myself up. Once in her office, she pushed the door closed and pointed to the chair next to her desk. I sat down and she sat across from me folding her hands on the table. "It seems to me, you've forgotten the understanding we have. I tell you what to do and you do it."

"I'm aware," I said and she slapped the desk with her hand.

"I am sick of this attitude, and you haven't been taking your pills. You are in so much trouble kitten." She shook her head. "And I don't even know what I'm going to do to you yet."
