You know how to talk to me. (Lucy Quinn)

Warning: Anxiety

Lucy had been like a big sister to you, she was always there for you during good and bad times. You were quite young, starting for your national team was a big deal to you. Apparently to everyone else as well.

You had been online for a few hours, you were doing something that probably wasn't the best thing to do the night before your senior debut. You'd been reading articles, watching videos, reading comments about how you're debut.

There was mixed feelings with the public, some thought you were too young and not ready. Others thought you were ready, but they praised you too much to the point where you started to get nervous. What if you weren't as good as they made you out to be? 

You heard a knock at your hotel room door, you turned your phone off and took a deep breath in to calm yourself down. 

"Come in.." you said out loud. You blinked at the door and saw the door knob turn, lucy walked in. "Hey lucy.." you said with a smile on your face. "Y/n..sorry i didn't want to bother you..i know you have the room to yourself but i just wanted to talk." lucy closed the door and walked over to you on the bed. 

She sat next to you and smiled up at you. "You know i'm really proud of you..." she started saying. "You've come such a long way, i really am proud of you...i can't believe you're debuting tomorrow." lucy smiled looking down at the floor. 

You smiled at her, you knew she played a big part in your getting this far. There was moments where you didn't want to keep going, but lucy always talked to you and gave you the time and space after.

"It's crazy to think about honestly." she said. "You're gonna be playing in front of thousands of people...and you're only y/a (your age)..." lucy looked over at you.

You felt your knee started to bounce, your foot was touching the floor but your leg was trembling a bit. You took a deep breath in, you felt your heart pace speed up as soon as you heard her mention how many people there will be. 

You took notice of lucy's eyes dropping down to your knee, she looked up at you with her brows furrowed. "Y/n...are you alright?" she asked. You quickly nodded and didn't say anything. "Y/n, if there's anything bothering you...you'd tell me right?" lucy put her hand on your thigh.

"Mhm..." you hummed.Lucy stared at you for a few seconds and you looked away, not being able to face her and lie to her. "Lucy..." you called out to her. "Yes?" she said, you turned to her and she was sitting there giving you all her attention.

"I'm scared? Well- not scared just...nervous." you said. Lucy nodded and put her hand on your knee, stopping the bouncing. Lucy rubbed your knee a little then, she held your hands in her hands. "You can talk to me...you know that." lucy nodded her head at you.

"It's just...i was reading some stuff online." you paused for a second. "..and it just got to me i guess." 

"Oh y/n...i mean you're still new to this and you're barely debuting tomorrow, but don't let what those people say get to you." lucy said in a gentle voice. "You've come this far, whatever they're saying whether it's good or bad...you know you deserve this." lucy said to you. You smiled up at her. "If you're nervous, you're allowed to be." she said.

"But you've also worked so hard for this...think about that." lucy told you caressing your hands. "I know you're dying to go out there" lucy smiled, you smiled at her and nodded. "Don't let some people change how you feel..." she said.

You took a deep breath in and nodded your head. "Thank you, lucy seriously.." you shook your head. "You know how to talk to me." 

"That's what i'm here for kid." lucy smiled and gave you a little side hug.
