Parents

Lost control

Lucy ran through the hospital to the waiting area where grey sat, his expression clearly tired.

"Where is he?"

"In room 104, i think he's just woken up."

"Crap.. what if he doesn't want to see me?" Lucy panicked

"Lucy he will," grey gave her a reassuring smile.

"I'm scared, what if we argue?"

"Just remember what dr London said." Grey advised.

Lucy nodded and walked to Tim's room, she peered through the window to see him laying there on his phone.

Lucy knocked and walked in.

"Hey." She said quietly.

"Hey Lucy," Tim slightly smiled.

Lucy took a seat next to the bed.

"I thought u was going to die Tim." Lucy said her face serious.

"U thought I was that weak?" Tim grinned.

"Tim is not funny, I've been so scared all evening."

"Why has it taken u till now to come visit then?"

"I wanted to but I couldn't Tim! I was babysitting for Angela."

"So who's watching the kids now?"

"Nyla offered so I could come see you, not sure why I bothered though."

"U shouldn't have come,"

"Tim why are u like this?" Lucy started to break down.

"Like what Lucy?"

"Criticising me for only just coming to see u now! There was no reason for me to care, we aren't together and I don't like u!" Lucy yelled.

She got up to leave.

"Don't know why Angela would leave her kids with someone as unstable as you!" Tim sneered.

"Piss off Tim."

Lucy stormed out back to where grey was waiting. He saw the anger in Lucy's eyes and knew something had happened. Lucy was on a rampage, yelling about how much she hates Tim as she walked through the hospital to the exit.

Grey put a hand in her shoulder to try calm her down.

"DO NOT TOUCH ME!" Lucy screamed at him.

Grey felt bad for her, he wasn't even mad she shouted in his face. He knew how well she had been doing the past few weeks. Tim must have said something to really piss her off.

Lucy got back to her car, she looked like she was seeing red. How dare Tim get mad at her for coming to visit. She drove straight to the gas station by Angela house and dumped the car at one of the pumps. Lucy had lost control she had no clue what was happening.

She walked into the store, looking a right state. Her hair was wet from her tears and her face was red and blotchy from crying. She couldn't care less.

"A bottle of tequila please." Lucy asked the woman behind the till.

"Are u ok?" The woman asked concerned.

"I'm fine,"

"Ok that's 15 bucks please."

Lucy slammed the money onto the counter and grabbed the drink. Again letting her legs take control she walked out the store and down the street slightly. Meanwhile grey called Nyla,

On the phone:

N- sarge what's up?
G- Lucy just ran out of the hospital in a right state after talking to Tim, she had completely lost control
N- oh shit, I can't do anything I'm currently sat with willow.
G- I'll get hold of Celina and John they are on patrol.
N- update me please

Lucy unscrewed the bottle and started to down the contents the pure taste made her heave but she didn't care, she sat on the curb under a street lamp as she continued to drink the bottle.

Instantly she felt a relief, no more thoughts going around her head just pure silence.

Lucy sat at the side of the road staring up at the starts for what felt like hours, eventually she tried to get up but fell to the ground.

After several attempts she got back up onto her two feet, she stumbled as she walked aimlessly through the dark streets. Every once in a while stopping to vomit up her dinner.

A car began to pull up on her.

This startled Lucy so she tried to run but fell flat on her face.

Nolan and Celina got out the shop and stood over Lucy, she had blood running from her nose due to her fall.

"Lucy come on," it broke Nolan seeing Lucy like this.

"NO GET AWAY." Lucy slurred.

"Lucy u need to come with us." Nolan helped her up.

"How much did u drink?" Celina asked.

"I haven't drunk anything."

"I'm calling Nyla, she needs to know Lucy is in this state" Celina said.

On the phone:

N- what's happened?

Nyla sounded unimpressed.

C- um Lucy is really drunk.

Nyla could her Lucy vomiting in the background.

N- oh my god, what the hell happened
C- we found her stumbling the streets.
N- she was doing so well.
C- I know, do u want us to bring her back?
N- u need to bring her round the back otherwise Angela will see her on the doorbell camera.
C- alright see u in a sec.

"Nyla said to bring her back." Celina told Nolan.

Lucy was still screaming and throwing up, she refused to get into the car and tried to run away. John grabbed her hand and led her to the shop, Lucy started throwing punches, none of them landing because of how drunk she was.

"Lucy u need to stop or we will have to cuff you." Nolan really didn't want to have to do this.

They managed to get Lucy into the back and she slumped into the seat.

Nyla met them around the back of Angela's, she wasn't angry but she knew how disappointed Lucy would be with herself.

It took both Celina, Nyla and Nolan to get Lucy into her bedroom and into bed.

"Thank you guys so much." Nyla said.

"I'm so worried about her." John admitted.

"Me too, is there anything we can do to help while we are here?" Celina asked.

"I don't think so, just don't tell Angela about this."

"Alright," they both nodded and left Nyla to deal with Lucy.

Lucy was sobbing into her pillow when Nyla walked in.

Nyla got the bin from Lucy's bathroom and popped it next to her. She perched herself next to Lucy and put an arm round her to comfort her.
