Lucy In The Sky

Help!

JOHN' P.O.V

Holy shit, did Lucy just faint? What the fuck do I do, what the fuck do I do? She's laying unconscious on the floor, what if she hit her head? Fuck.

"HELP! HELP! ME GIRLFRIEND JUST FAINTED, SHE'S NOT CONSCIOUS SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! HELP HEL-" I began to scream, tears suddenly streaming down my face. I wanted to lift Lucy, hold her in my arms and make sure everything was alright but I knew if I did I may be doing more damage. All I could do was yell at the top of my lungs.

Almost automatically, a bunch of people came to my service. One of them, claiming to be a doctor from the war, told me Lucy had only fainted, she will be fine. I trusted that woman's words to be true, another middle-aged man ran to the nearest phone box and rung 999. So many thoughts were flowing through my head I felt like I was going to faint myself.

The ambulance arrived 5 minutes later, they whisked both Lucy and myself off in a matter of minutes. The moment seemed like a blur.

PAUL'S P.O.V

She lay there so peacefully, yet she looked so ill. Her face was colourless and she had dark rings around her eyes, she'd lost a lot of weight the past few weeks and you could clearly see her cheekbones; it was chilling to see Lucy in such a state. I sat in the chair next to her hospital bed, guitar by my side. I'd been there since the early morning, I got a phone call late last night from Lucy's parents informing me that she'd been rushed into hospital with John and they were allowing visitors today.

The doctors told me she suffered a sort of miscarriage, Lucy had an ectopic pregnancy, where her egg was in the fallopian tube. This was why she was so dreadfully sick for the past few weeks, the child was not developing in the correct place, usually you would have to get it surgically removed but Lucy soldiered on, meaning it came out its own, painful way. The doctors also told me she'd have to be in hospital for a week whilst she recovered, which meant I would be taking a lot of time off school to visit her. I'd let John take her away from me, use her, abuse her and now she's in hospital because he put a baby inside of her, I wasn't going to let any more harm come to this girl. I was stupidly in love with her.

"Hey Lucy, I know ye probably can't hear me; I heard the nurse has given ye a sleeping drug, but I thought I'd let ye know I'm here." I said reaching across the bed to stroke her hand. Thankfully they had given Lucy a separate room to recover for the first few days, so I could talk privately with her. Not that she could hear what I was saying, despite reply. "I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. I didn't even know you were pregnant, the doctor told me everything about the ectopic pregnancy, but I guess you already know. John's been dead worried about ye, he was cryin' his eyes out when ye first came. It's weird to see him like that... but then again it's weird to see you layin' asleep in a hospital bed. I remember when we were little, you 'nd yer family came over for tea, 'nd you ended up fallin' asleep on me sofa and I remember turning around to me mam, yeh, me mam, saying 'Mummy, aint she sweet?' and she told me that you'd grow up to be a big, beautiful girl and she was right, she was so right. You shouldn't be layin' here right now, it's unfair. Anyway, before I get stupidly emotional, I would like to apologise for John's behaviour the other day, he told me what happened and I tried to talk some sense into him and I told him to go find ye, I hope he didn't hurt ye. I know how much ye love him and I do worry about you sometimes. I'm always here for ye, Luce. I hope you know that. Anyway, I ur, I wrote ye a song! Here's how it goes:" I began, picking up my guitar, placing it on my knee.

"Any time at all, any time at all
Any time at all, all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there

If you need somebody to love
Just look into my eyes
I'll be there to make you feel right
