God... My head hurts so bad... I turn my head, whimpering in pain.
"Lucy?" I hear a familiar voice, very slowly opening my eyes. "Mom? Where am I?" I look around, my eyes adjusting. I raised my hand, gazing at the IV that was in it. "The hospital Luce.. What do you remember?" Mom came closer, holding my hand. "Molly... She screamed, and I ran then someone ran with her... Oh god, MOLLY!" I start to cry, thrashing a bit. Mom shushes me, petting my hair. "Where's my Molly?" I look at my mother, who is now crying also. "They haven't found her yet."
I spent two nights in the hospital, coming home with a concussion. I feel so guilty. If I hadn't of taken bath, Molly would be fine. Did I not run fast enough? Mom has told me it wasn't my fault, but I can't help to feel that it was. Mom suggested that I call my best friend, to attempt to take my mind off things.
Clarissa and I have been best friends since kindergarten. We instantly clicked. She was supposed to be with me that night, helping me watch Molly while Mom was on a work trip. She couldn't at the last minute. Could she of saved Molly? I don't know. I sigh, pulling my purple hair into a ponytail. I pick up the picture on my bedside table of Mom, Molly and I at Sea World and hold it close.
----------------------------------------------
Mom married my dad, they had me. When I was 7, Molly came along. Dad got drunk one night, and left, and never came back. It's just us, but we prefer it that way. We're a happy family. I stand out, seeing as I like to dye my hair, and just be weird. Molly isn't like me. She's more girly, but she also has some of my traits. She's the spitting image of Mom. I look like a combination of Mom and Dad, but I favor my mother more. I love my family.
-----------------------------------------------
"Lucy, you there?" Clarissa snapped her fingers in front of my face, making me jump. She instantly pulled me into her arms, apologizing for scaring me. "It's not your fault, Clari. I need to stop zoning out." I half smile. I glance at the clock, almost 1 am. "C'mon. Let's go to bed." Clarissa makes me take my pain medicine, then lay down. She curls up beside me, her brown curls tied into a short ponytail. At this point in my life, I'm thankful that she's there.
