Lucy's POV

Last week was my birthday, I know mum won't come back and I miss her but I won't cry—I can't cry. My first day in school is tomorrow and I think I should hide my eyes, they can't know that I have a red and a white eye, that isn't normal at least the white isn't. Dad told me that my mum also had red eyes, but she was a blonde and I think if I had blonde hair I would be looking better. Then I wouldn't look that much like dad, he isn't the good person from my memories anymore, he changed since mum is gone. But he still loves me — I think, I can't tell if he's serious or not because he's always drunk but I know that I love him and I need to care for him as well as for myself. I need to act differently in school or else they would know and take me from him, I can't let that happen, he was sad enough after what happend to mum.

I should get groceries today and I need new contact lenses so that no one can see my eyes and that I seem normal. On my way I see some children on the playground, they look happy and have fun. I wish I could just go to them and join them in their game of tag but they don't know me and I have to care for dad so I don't have any time for friends. I wished mum could come back and fix dad for me since I don't know how.
