Lucy spent the night on the sofa due to her and tams argument, this meant that Lucy was woken up early by willow.

"Willow darling come here." Angela called.

"Yes mommy?"

"What do you want for breakfast?"

"Please can I have cereal."

"Of course baby, Lucy what do you want for breakfast?" Angela asked realising Lucy was awake.

"I'm not very hungry but thanks."

"You are hungry Lucy, u only had lunch yesterday."

"I'll come make a coffee." Lucy stood up.

"Please have some toast Lu."

"Ange I'm so sorry." Lucy all of a sudden had tears running down her face.

"What for Luce?"

"Everything, I just don't get why I'm so difficult." Lucy sobbed,

"Lucy you don't need to apologise, you're clearly struggling alright."

"It's not fair on everyone around me,"

"Honestly Lucy I think you can get through this, it's just every time you start doing better something else happens."

"I'm just so fed up of it."

"I know darling, also I want to talk to you about your birthday."

"No I'm not celebrating it."

"Lu ur going to be 35, why don't we have a small gathering?"

"I really don't want to celebrate it."

"Let me know if you change your mind alright?"

"Ok, is Tim doing anything for his do you know?"

Lucy and Tim used to do joint parties due to their birthdays being only a week apart.

"He hasn't mentioned it."

"Alright, well I'm going to get ready."

"Lu u haven't had breakfast." Angela sighed.

"I'm really not hungry." Lucy walked off.

She entered her bedroom, tam was lying in bed scrolling on her phone. Lucy sat on the windowsill and lit her cigarette, it was only 7:30 but she was already so done.

"Auntie Ange hates when u do that." Tamara muttered.

"And what?"

"Why do u want me to go back to live with dad?"

"Because tam I need to look after myself at the moment,"

"Oh ok, are u still coming to parents evening?"

"Yes of course, do u want me to?"

"Yes please,"

"You still want to visit ur dad this morning while I'm at my appointment?"
