Parents

Crash out

The next morning was scarily quiet. Angela woke up early as usual, she pretended today was just like any other. She showered and changed into her favourite black pants and navy blazer.
She curled her hair and put some light makeup on.

Angela made her way to the kitchen to start breakfast, she cooked waffles and called Lucy to wake up.

Lucy woke up to Angela calling her. She was not feeling great today, she was already pissed off by the way she had folded her clothes previously for some reason. She tried to brush the feeling off, she knew Angela would still be upset from yesterday and didn't want to add anymore stress.

"Ugh what the hell." She muttered as she changed into sweatpants and a hoodie.

Lucy quickly braided her hair and did her makeup, she went into the kitchen and sat down at the island.

"Morning Lu, u ok?" Angela was back to her old self

"I can tell today is going to not be good Ange." Lucy picked at her waffles, she thought Angela had realised what today was.

"Oh darling,"

"I'm going out back." Lucy left her breakfast and went outside to have a ciggy.

Angela was worried about Lucy. She wasn't really eating like she usually would and seemed to have got worse since they spoke to her over dinner.

Angela decided to call dr London whilst Lucy was outside,

On the phone:

Dr- hi how can I help?
A- hello it's Angela Lopez calling for Lucy Chen.
Dr- thought I recognise your voice, what can I do for you.
A- Lucy was hoping the book back in, just wondering when your available
Dr- I'm free tomorrow at 10am?
A- yes that should be good, just to let you know she's really not doing good at the moment. I can tell she's trying to hide it,
Dr- thank you for letting me know, I'll see her tomorrow morning.

Lucy came back in just as Angela got off the phone.

"You're seeing Dr London tomorrow at 10." Angela smiled.

"Ok, are we going now?" Lucy didn't want to think about therapy.

"Yep I just need to get my shoes on" Angela laced up her boots and they got into the car.

Lucy was really distant, this kept happening. One day she would be fine the next she would have a bad day.

"U going on patrol today?" Angela made small talk.

"Is Nyla mad at me?" Lucy ignored the question she was still bothered about Nyla yelling at her

"Is this about last night?"

Nyla had spoke to Angela about the altercation.

"Yep."

"She told me about that, she felt bad because she didn't mean to yell and she wanted to apologise but I told her not to mention it again because I didn't want to upset u."

"So I've literally been crashing out over the fact she hates me when she doesn't!" Lucy yelled.

"I'm sorry Luce."

"Sorry doesn't quite cut it." Lucy rolled her eyes.

They had just pulled into the station, Lucy got out the car without saying anything. She went into the locker room and quickly changed into her uniform, she wanted to leave before Angela came in. Lucy reached into her bag to find her meds, she couldn't find them.

"Shit."

She had no time to do anything as it was time for role call. Lucy went in and sat down next to John.
