Will broken hearts find their way back to each other?

Lucy's POV:

"Lucy. Let's get changed, then we can talk about this. Because what the hell.."

I don't dare to argue back. I need Leah involved in this too though.

To begin with, Keira removes my towel, and gets me dressed. This time she doesn't look at me, and I don't ask. I know I would probably be capable enough to get myself changed, but ultimately I'm in too much pain.

"Right, now that you are dressed, do you want to talk about what happened earlier?" Keira questions.

"Yeah I do. But I need Leah as well please.." I reply.

"Leah??" Keira raises her eyebrow.

"Yeah..."

"Okay.. I will go get her then."

"Thanks." I say with a light smile.

———

"What is this Bronze?" Leah asks.

"Is Georgia here?" I ask.

"Nah, I asked her to go for a bit..Keira said it was serious.." Leah reply's.

"Yeah it is. I really have been meaning to have this conversation with you both."

Leah and Keira turn to each other in confusion.

"Lucy.. just start from the beginning and we will sort it out from there." Keira says.

"Fuck..okay." I reply.

I begin to rabble on about the conversations with Ona and how it came about. Then I get to the serious stuff.

"Keira.. when you came back that night with the black eye, I wanted nothing more than for you to be okay. I know I've fucked up in the past, but I would never like to see you hurt."

Keira face softens.

"So..I took matters into my own hands and went to see Ona. I pretty much made her own up for hitting you, and she eventually gave in. Leah you were with Keira at this point, correct?"

Leah just nods, so I continue.

"As I began to protect Keira, she just kind of lost it.. like I had flipped a switch inside of her. She began to get defensive and well..." I begin to cry.

"It's okay Lucy, take your time." Keira says.

"She- she said that Keira said 'I was unlovable, a cheating piece of shit and I left her for some worthless sex'. I thought it wasn't real..but then she said that Leah agreed. I was just so confused because Leah had been so nice to me and Kei and I were getting along. Did I do something wrong to you both? I'm so sorry if I've hurt you, but I don't think I deserved to be treated like that." I sob even harder.

Leah and Keira look at each other with disgrace.

"Lucy..." Leah says.

"Ona lied to you." Keira says.

"What? Why would she lie about that?" I reply.

"I don't know Lucy. She's twisted. Hell, she twisted her own words. She said all those things about you and said I was just 'worthless sex.' We would never say something like that about you." Keira says.

"Oh...but why did she hit you then? She said she hit you because you said those horrid things about me."

"Lucy, she hit me because I began to protect you. Like you said.. you have hurt me, but I wouldn't like to see you get hurt either. And she lost it as well before myself or Leah could stop her. Yes it was never her plan to hit me, but she hated seeing us stick up for one another." Keira replies.
