Parents

Will they work?

Later that evening Lucy and Angela went to the pharmacy to collect the meds. Lucy had a pretty good day with only the blow up in the morning and another smaller one at lunch but that quickly passed.

"So Lucy, you just take one if u can't feel an 'episode' coming on." The pharmacist instructed.

Lucy nodded and Angela made sure to listen as well just in case Lucy wasn't paying attention properly. Angela was still so sad for Lucy, how had her life turned to this? Angela felt like she had another child to care for.

Lucy took the bottle of pills and put them in her pocket.

"Go wait in the car Luce, I just need to grab some other stuff," Angela smiled.

"Alright see u in a sec."

Lucy left the pharmacy.

"Sorry I had a question and I didn't want Lucy to listen." Angela explained to the pharmacist.

"Oh? What is it?"

"Um.. what would happen if she took too many?"

"Why do u ask?"

"She isn't suicidal but I worry because of things she's done recently."

"If she took like 5-7 at once she would be ok, maybe just a bit unwell but anymore than that can be lethal."

"Alright, maybe I'll be looking after them then." Angela nodded.

Angela got back in the car.

"What did u get?" Lucy questioned.

"I needed to get willow more vitamin gummies but they didn't have them."

"That's annoying."

They started to drive home.

Lucy's phone begun to ring. It was Tim.

On the phone:

T- hey Lu.
L- hey Tim.
T- u alright?
L- yeah just got my meds, what about u?
T- I'm fine, was just wondering if u wanted to hang out this evening?
L- yeah I can, what time?
T- it's 4 now so maybe at like 5? Does that give u time to get ready?
L- that's good, where r we going?
T- we could chill at mine?
L- do u think u could come over to mine instead?
T- I can but is that alright with Angela?
L- I'll ask her now

"Angela can Tim come round?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah I don't mind." Angela tried to hide her grin.

L-she said that's fine,
T- see you in a bit
L- bye Tim
T- bye Luce

Lucy hung up the phone, she turned to Angela to see her smiling.

"Something funny?" Lucy asked.

"No nothing, oh crap."

"What?"

"I just realised Nyla was coming over for dinner because Wesley and James are going out."

"I can tell Tim to come over another day?" Lucy offered.

"No it will be alright, the kids are going to Wesley's mom's anyway."

"Only if ur sure?" Lucy didn't want to cause an issue.

"100%." Angela smiled

They arrived back at the house, Lucy went straight into her room to sort herself out ready for Tim's arrival. They had been getting on alright at the moment.

Lucy threw on a pair of baggy joggers and a white crop top, she didn't really care what she looked like. Tim had seen her looking worse during the 12 years they were married. She still couldn't believe they were divorced it had been over a year since that happened.
