Crash

Office

Lucy's POV

Lucy: "I can't wait to go see Lydia! She's supposed to be coming with her daughter to this restaurant. I'll be home later, maybe 11pm?"

Celina: "Alright, you have fun, and make sure to tell me if she has any dark auras."

Grey: "Chen! My office!" 

What's this about? This better be a job promotion or else I'll be mad. I walk towards the glass walls of Grey's office and I open the door. 

Lucy: "You wanted to see me sir?" 

Grey: "Yes, you may want to sit down for this though." 

Confused, I sit down. Is this really going to be that bad? Am I in trouble?

Grey: "So I have just became aware of something, were you supposed to meet a Lydia Smith today?"

Lucy: "Yeah, why?"

Grey: "As they were checking in earlier this afternoon, Lydia and Talia were in a car crash. Lydia didn't make it, I'm sorry."

Lydia? No, Grey must be mistaken. She was the most cautious driver. She can't leave behind Talia. This can't be true. I place my head in my hands and just let the tears flow.

Grey: "Chen, there is also another thing. You were left in her will. You are supposed to take care of Talia now." 

Lucy: "Are they at the hospital?" 

Grey: "Yes, at Shaw Memorial. Talia was not hurt too much, but they might keep her for a bit to make sure that everything is okay."

I nod. My world just crashed into a million pieces. What about Talia? I've only met her once, maybe twice, how could I do this?

Grey: "I'll give you a few days off to figure everything out. I'm so sorry, Lucy."

I say thanks and I walk out of his office with tears streaming down my face. I walk to my car and start the engine. When I reach outside, the world seems... darker.
