Is she struggling?

Chapter 4~ Dont ask questions you dont want the answer to

Lucy's POV
I woke up to someone jumping on the bed. I open my eyes to see Liam. Liam stop before you hurt yourself, I say tiredly. No it's fun, he says laughing. I grab him and pull him down on the bed and start tickling him, stop Lucy, he says laughing. Are you gonna stop jumping on the bed, I say still tickling him. Yes I promise, he says laughing. Alright so why'd you wake us up, I say sitting him up. Daddy said to get you guys for breakfast, he says. Ok well your Aunt Angela isn't up yet so you haven't done your job, I say. He starts jumping on the bed again but closer to Angela, Liam I said not to jump on the bed I say grabbing him off the bed. Why did you wake me up,Angela says sitting up rubbing her eyes. Breakfast, we both say. I put Liam down on the ground and head to my suitcase so I can change my shirt because I had a tank top on. What are you doing, Liam says coming over to me. Putting on a hoodie, I say pulling it over my head. Ang you up, I say grabbing Liam. Yea, she says getting out of bed and we head downstairs with Liam on my hip.

Morning sleepy heads, Nyla says laughing. Morning, we both say. Tim next time make sure Liam doesn't wake us up by jumping on the bed because he can get hurt, I say passing him to Tim. You would make a great mom,Luna says. You really think so, I ask getting a glass of water. Of course you would kids love you, Celina says. Yea she's right I'm pretty sure you're Liam's favorite Aunt, Tim says. You're not wrong about that, I say laughing. Lucy what the hell happened to your legs, Bailey says. Nothing, I say sitting down. Something had to happen you have scars all over them, she says. Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to, I say. What the hell is that supposed to mean, Nyla says. Like I said don't ask questions you don't want the answers too, I say again. We'll get back to this later what are we doing today, grey says. Could we walk around and look at shops, Isabel asks. Fine with me, I say. Everyone else says it's fine too.

Everyone one went upstairs to get ready as I was curling my hair I got a FaceTime call from my aunt Amy

Amy- hey sweetheart
Lucy- hey what's up
Amy- your dad called me
Lucy- of course he did
Amy- he just wanted to check on you
Lucy- well he should've did that while I was in that hell house
Amy-he told me that you told him
Lucy- well it was either he believed me or he didn't so I really didn't care at that point, I said while turning the curling iron off
Amy-Lucy I think you need to talk to a therapist
Lucy- yea good luck trying to get me to do that, I say laughing
Amy- well you need to talk to somebody
Lucy- I did and now he's dead
Amy- you told him everything
Lucy-yep
Amy- in detail
Lucy- not in complete detail because that would take to long it happened for 14 years
Amy-wait when did you run away and why
Lucy- 16 after I told mom she didn't believe me then she asked Jason about it and later on he raped me so I packed my bags and left
Amy- you should've came to me Lucy
Lucy-she would've found me
Amy- I wouldn't have let her take you
Lucy- she would've found a way, enough about me how's Zola doing
Amy- she's doing good she keeps asking about you
Lucy- is she with you right now
Amy-yeah why
Lucy- put her on the phone
Amy- hey Lucy, Zola says with a big smile
Lucy- hey sweetheart I miss you
Amy- I miss you too can I come stay the night with you
Lucy- you can't at the moment I'm away with some friends but when I get back you can
Amy- man I wanna play volleyball with you
Lucy- we will I promise
Amy- ok I love you
Lucy- I love you too
Amy- alright Lucy I've got to get her to school I'll call you later on
Lucy- alright be safe love you
Amy- I will love you too

Once I got done curling my hair I leave the bathroom and go to my suitcase to get a pair of clothes and I see Angela sitting on the bed with a concerned look on her face. What, I say. Are we going to talk about the conversation you just had, she says. Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to, I say as I grab so white jean shorts and a sky blue top. So you were raped and I'm guessing who ever raped you is the reason for all them scars on your legs, Angela says. Angela please I'm not in the best mental state to have this conversation right now, I say with tears in my eyes. She gets up and hugs me tightly and I hug her back, I'm so sorry for everything you went through I'm always here if you wanna talk, she says. Thanks I might tell you but not now, I say with a few tears rolling down my checks. As we pull away from each other I start laughing as more tears stream done my face, why are laughing, Angela says. I don't like crying in front of people and here I am doing it, I say still laughing. She wipes the tears off my face while laughing with me when Nyla walks in the room, Are you okay why are you crying, Nyla asks as she comes over to us. I'm fine I promise, I say with a slight smile. I hear if you wanna talk ok, she says rubbing my shoulder. Thanks can we leave now please, I say wiping my face one more time. Yea come on, they say shoving me out the door.
