panic

LUCYS POV:
what if I can listen to type fours to? I know this sounds extreme but maybe that's why I could sense something about this case. What if people find out? What if I have to go back and live with mum? My life would be ruined. The more I thought about it the more I panicked. Thoughts rushed into my head quicker than I could imagine. I was drowning in fear. My head began to hurt and my vision became blurry, as everything started to fade away all I could hear was the sound of ringing and my heart beating louder than ever. The last thing I heard was the thud of my body hitting the hard kitchen floor.
LOCKWOODS POV:
my heart stopped.
"Lucy?"
no reply. I tried to speak as calmly as possible but my voice was shaky relentless of my efforts. I quickly kneeled down next to her and cupped her cheek,
"Lucy please"
"George ring an ambulance!!"
George had already run to the phone and began dialling the number and calling the ambulance.
I began to feel tears spilling out of my eyes, but this didn't feel like regular sadness, not the kind of sadness you feel when something goes wrong. this was something that I couldn't explain, but it was familiar. My heart ached.
GEORGES POV:
as I walked back Into the kitchen I saw Lockwood holding lucy, his eyes filled with sorrow.
"I was on the phone to the ambulance they will be here in about five minutes"
he looked up at me gave a small nod and turnt back to Lucy
"she'll be alright Lockwood, she's strong"
"I know"
despite the fact me and Lucy argue a lot I have grown very close to her and love her like a sister, she's means an awful lot to me and I care for her very deeply, more than I realised before this moment, but if something did happen and Lockwood couldn't fix it he would go into a downward spiral and blame himself for it. He would become more reckless and cold. Just like he did with Jessica. He would never be the same again.

LOCKWOODS POV:
the ambulance arrived and I heard a knock on the door, a minute later they entered and came to assess Lucy, she looked pale but her face was still as beautiful as before.
"She'll need to go to the hospital so they can run some further tests"
"okay, will- will she be ok?"
"We can't be completely sure yet but I can assure you she's in good hands"

(still in Lockwood's pov!)

I sat in the cold dingy waiting room, there was grey walls, dim lights and solemn faces. I was sitting next to George, occasionally glancing at him. my heart felt heavy. Lucy was still unconscious.
"It's all my fault George I, I must of over did it when we were doing rapier practice. What if she hates me now? What if she leaves and we never see her again"
"you can't blame yourself Lockwood, and Lucy would never leave you, especially since you didn't do anything wrong, my guess is that she went into a state of shock"
Before I could respond a doctor came over
"Is Lucy okay?"
"I'm afraid she is still unconscious but she will be okay, it's likely she fainted because of shock or panic and hit her head on the way down"
I tried to talk but the words were stuck in my throat, my mouth was dry and my head throbbed. After what felt like years of awkward silence and trying to talk George finally spoke.
"how long till we can go and see her?"
"you can go see Miss Carlyle now, if you'd like to follow me I will show you where she is. Come this way please"
We both got up, George let out a deep sigh and we made our way to see Lucy.

As we entered her hospital room and as soon as I saw her unconscious body lying in the hospital bed, my eyes started to flood with tears.
"Luce"
I knelt down next to her and began to cry.
"I'll leave you three alone for a while, just press this button if something happens and someone will come to assist you"

GEORGES POV:

As I looked over at him, I saw a different Lockwood to the one I was so familiar with, this one wasn't the normal happy and sarcastic Lockwood, this Lockwood was sad and filled with sorrow. His face was drained with colour and pale.
"It'll be alright Lockwood"
"I can't loose anyone else George, especially not lucy"
he sighed. His voice was hoarse and strained. He got up and sat on the chair next to her bed, placing his head in his hands.

10:30pm:
a nurse entered to room and explained to us that visitors had to leave now if they are not family or the patients partner.

"Are you Miss Carlyle's boyfriend?"
Lockwood's face instantly turned a pinkish colour as he turned to face me, the look on his face told me he was looking at me for some sort of answer. I nodded and looked over at the nurse.
"um yes I, I am her boyfriend"
"you can stay overnight if you wish but I'm afraid your friend can't sorry"
"George, do you mind if I stay with lucy?"
"It's alright Lockwood I'm come back tomorrow with some clothes and other stuff for you as I assume you'll be staying until she wakes up."
I said my goodbyes to Lucy, told Lockwood I would see him tomorrow and left the hospital to make my way back to Portland row.

LOCKWOODS POV:
I couldn't sleep at all, and if I even drifted off to sleep for just a minute my mind just replayed the moment that would haunt me forever, worse then any case I had ever been on and any case I would ever go on. The thought of losing Lucy broke my heart and brought me to tears everytime the thought entered my head.
