Fighting love (Coronation Street)

026🔥

Lacey knew how her head was all over the place. Her mum had suffered another breakdown. And she was currently in the mental health ward.

Lacey knew how Brooke was staying with Michelle. She felt like she needed her sister with her. To look after her. She was worried that it was all getting too much for her.

Lacey was trying to keep it all together knowing how she was pregnant. And how she had almost lost the baby once. Nick had tried to tell her to stay calm. But it was hard.

Lacey had nothing but worries about her mum. She wanted her to be okay. But she was worried. It wasn't going to be easy.

All she knew was that her head was a complete mess. And she was worried and wanted to have it back to how it used to be. Simple.

Morning came and so Lacey was sitting in the living room. She sighed as she saw Nick who walked over to her. "Babe you need to sleep. You can't keep doing this. Your mum will be okay. Brooke will be okay," he said.

Lacey sighed. "I know. But she's my mum. I missed all the signs. I feel like I've let her down."

"You haven't babe. You know that. You're not the one responsible. Your sister is okay with Michelle."

"I know that babe. I'm just... I don't know. I feel like maybe I could have done better. Been there more," Lacey sows.

Nick rolled his eyes. He knew that as much as he loved Lacey, he didn't like the way she took responsibility for her family. She was pregnant. And he wanted her to focus on their family.

"You're pregnant Lacey. And you need to start thinking about that. You almost lost the baby," Nick said.

Lacey sighed. Knowing he was right. But worried about her whole family.

Lacey saw Brooke sitting on a bench. She walked over to her. She sighed. "Why aren't you in school?" She asked.

"Didn't fancy it. I miss mum. And I love Michelle. But this is hard," Brooke mumbled.

Lacey sat down with her. She smiled. "I know. I miss her too but she's in the best place for her right now. She's going to be okay. And you can help her by going to school."

"I just want her back."

"Me too."

Lacey walked into the hospital. She saw her mum and sighed "hey mum. How are you?" She asked.

Carla didn't speak. Lacey sighed. She felt bad for her now was struggling at the moment. "Me and Brooke are okay. You don't have to worry. We're being looked after," she told her as she took her hand.

The door opened and Peter walked in. He frowned. "You shouldn't be here."

"She's my mum. Where else would I be?" Lacey said. She couldn't help but think that Peter didn't like her. And she felt like it was down to her relationship with Nick.

"Your mum isn't well. So she doesn't need visitors."

"Then why are you here?"

"I'm her next of kin."

Lacey scoffed. She stood and walked off. Not knowing how it was all going to change with Carla. And how it was  down to Peter.
