Lucy's POV
I run up the stairs and kick down the door. I see Zach on the ground 1 bullet in his stomach and another in his leg. Angela's on the ground holding her stomach while crying. I check his pulse it's there but it's low. I grab my phone and call two ambulances to Angela's house and then I rush over to Angela. I pull her into a hug while she cries in my arms. it's okay, i'm here and he's not gonna hurt you anymore, I whisper with tears running down my face. She has bruises all over her body, she looks completely broken. thank you, she whispers. for what, I ask a little confused. for always being there, she whispers. Always, I whisper and plant a kiss on her forehead. She gives me a small smile and then bailey comes in with her partner. What the hell happened here, Bailey says. Talk later she needs to get to the hospital I don't care if he lives or dies she's going first, I say as I pick her up and place her on the gurney. Bailey nods her head. Angela starts to speak, Lilian- but i cut her off, I'll take care of her you need to get checked out, we'll be there in about 30 minutes okay, I say as i squeeze her hand. She smiles and nods her head and they wheel her out.

Lilian it's Lucy i'm gonna open the closet door okay, I call out as i slowly open the closest door. She looks up at me with tears in her eyes and she's having trouble breathing. I take in the sight of her she's a literal copy of Angela. Come here, I say softly. She jumps in to my arms and wraps her body around me while crying into my shoulder. it's gonna be okay everything gonna be fine, I whisper to her while rubbing her back. Is mama okay, she asks as she lifts her head. yea sweetie she gonna be okay, I say with a small smile. You're really pretty, she says playing with my hair. aww thank you so are you, you look just like your mom, I say with a smile. So does that mean my mom's pretty too, she asks with a smile. of course it does you and your mom are both very beautiful, I say with a smile. I like you already, she says as she hugs me. I'm glad you do, I say while laughing.  so you and your mom are gonna stay with me for a while so I need some help packing you guys stuff wanna help me, I ask. yea i'll show you where we keep our suitcases, she says. She takes my hand and shows me to a closet near the bathroom and we grab 2 suitcases one for Angela and 1 for Lilian. We pack all of Lilians clothes first and then we go to her bathroom and get her toothbrush and what ever hair stuff Angela has laying around in the bathroom. She then shows me Angela's room. When we walk in I see the holes in the walls and some blood in them as well, there's blood on the sheets and i'm hoping it's not from what i think it is. I hold back the tears as we're packing her clothes. When we enter the bathroom the mirrors broken with blood on it and some hair, you can already tell it's Angela's hair. I grab her tooth brush and her hair stuff and put it in her suit case. We grab the rest of their shoes and Lilian grabs a her toys and we head down to the car. Hopefully never returning to that place.

Sweetie have you ate dinner yet, I ask her. She shakes her head no. How about Mcdonald's, I ask her. Yea, she says excitedly with a bright smile. Alright Mcdonald's it is, I say laughing. Alright sweetie what do you want, I ask as we pull in the drive thru. Can i get a happy meal with nuggets please, say says. Alright and what do you want to drink, I ask her. Fruit Punch please, she says. alright and when's the last time your mom ate, I ask her. This morning but she didn't eat all of it, she says. I nod my head and order some food for Angela too. Mama talks about you a lot, she says. Does she, I say with a smile. yea and she always smiles when she talks about you, I see why now you're really nice, she says with a smile. Well thank you i try my best, I say laughing. Once we get to the hospital they inform me that Angela's in surgery and should be out in about 45 minutes. Lilian drifts off to sleep on my lap and that's when I decide to call Grey.

Lucy- hey grey Angela's in the hospital
Grey- what, why what happened
Lucy- he was beating her grey and i knew and i didn't stop it (tears now running down my face)
Grey- lucy listen to me you wouldn't be able to do anything until she said anything it's not your fault
Lucy- but it is grey, i've been where she is i should've saw the signs earlier
Grey- lucy don't blame your self Angela wouldn't want you to do that, I'm gonna stop by in the morning so i can talk to her, don't blame your self okay
Lucy- alright i'll see you tomorrow

As i'm wiping my face a doctor comes out, Anyone for Angela Lopez. I shot right up and started walking towards her. Are you Lucy Chen, she asks. Yes I am is she okay, I ask. She's alive but she's gonna have a long road to recovery, she has two broken ribs, a fractured hand, a broken leg, and she has developed an eating disorder, the doctor says. She's gonna need someone to look after her for about 2 months, they need to make sure she eats, not lifting heavy weights, and not standing for a long period of time, she says. I'll look after her, I say holding back tears. Ok i'll come check on her shortly she's awake in room 303, she says before she walks away.

Hey, she says her voice barely above a whisper. How you feeling, I ask softly. Like i've been hit by a truck, she says making us both laugh a little. Did she give you any trouble, she asks looking toward Lilian. No she was an angel, she's an exact copy of you, I say laughing a little. Thanks, she says smiling. I lay Lilian down beside Angela as we begin talking. I still can believe you have a kid, I say laughing a little. I was gonna tell you but then he started getting abusive, he threatened to kill her once she was born when i tried to leave, hey you don't have to explain okay we can talk when your ready, I say wiping her tears. I don't know what i would do without you, she says with a smile. I'm always here, I say with a smile. I've brought you some food so you need to eat, someone told me you haven't ate since this morning and you didn't even eat all of it, I say handing her the Mcdonald's bag. I'm not hungry, she says trying to give the bag back to me. Ang i need you to eat, you don't have to eat all of it just some of it, I say. She sighs and reluctantly takes a bite out of her burger. I can tell by her facial expressions she's about to throw it right back up. I get her a bowl and put it in front of her and that's what she does, throws it up. What's wrong with me Lucy, she says tears forming in her eyes. You have an eating disorder love, I say moving some hair out of her face and wiping her tears. Try again but slower, I say with a small smile. She eats half of the burger without throwing it up. I'm proud of you, I say rubbing her back. Thank you for everything, she says while more tears run down her face. I just pull her into a hug letting her breakdown while I whisper comforting words to her.
