Parents

Broken

The next morning Lucy woke up confused to why her pillow was wet, she looked around and tam was sat at Lucy's vanity getting ready for school. That's when it all hit her like a tone of bricks. She pulled the covers over her head and screamed in annoyance.

"Mom u ok?"

"Just amazing darling." Lucy joked.

"I hate dad."

"No tam, u can't say that."

"Why did he do that to you?" Tamara sighed.

"I'm not too sure but it was probably my fault."

"No mom."

"I'm going to grab breakfast alright."

"Ok I'll be out in a minute."

Lucy walked into the kitchen, she still wasn't thinking straight. Her hair was matted and there was mascara smeared across her eyes. She was wearing a sports bra and plaid pyjama pants.

"Come here Lu." Angela pulled her into a hug immediately.

This made Lucy's eyes fill with tears.

"He's an ass." Nyla added.

Lucy hadn't even realised Nyla sat at the breakfast bar.

"You're here early."

"Umm yeah we all got a little too drunk last night." Angela smiled.

"Oh crap,"

"All for a good cause." Nyla laughed.

"What time are you leaving for work?" Lucy asked.

"In about 20 mins, Wesley is dropping tam off by the way."

"Is he sure?"

"I don't mind," Wesley appeared from the bedroom.

"Thank you so much."

"No problem,"

"Ange do u recon I can come into the station with you so I can see Blair please."

"Yeah that's fine just make sure ur ready, I didn't realise you had an appointment today?"

"I don't, I'm calling her right now." Lucy spun around and walked into her room.

"Hey mom." Tamara smiled.

"You look so cute darling, do you mind if I make a quick phone call?"

"Nah that's fine, u want me to leave?"

"It's alright,"

Lucy dialled Blair's number praying she would answer.

B- hiya Lucy is everything ok?
L- um no, when's your next available appointment?
B- right so today is Monday, I don't have anything till Thursday but you have an appointment booked on Friday anyway.
L- nothing for today?
B- Lucy what's happened?
L- Tim fucking told me how he was seeing someone else when we were on and off.
B- I'm so sorry Lucy that must be hard.
L- yeah I'm loosing my bloody mind.
B- if an appointment comes up you will be my first call, I'm so sorry I don't have anything today.
L- it's alright I get your busy.
B- call me if u need anything.

As soon as the call ended Lucy erupted.

"Stupid bitch, I JUST NEED HELP." Lucy threw her phone across the room.

"Mom ur scaring me." Tamara's voice broke.

Lucy punched the wall, creating a hole in the plaster. Tamara ran out the room she knew she needed to get Lucy help.
