Nails and pizza

Lucy woke up at 8am to her alarm, she was quite excited for her first full day on new meds. She swallowed them with a sip of water before hopping in the shower quickly.

After showering Lucy sat at her vanity and blow dried her hair, she didn't bother doing any makeup. She threw on a black tracksuit.

Lucy went out to the kitchen where Wesley was trying to make willows breakfast whilst tying his tie.

"Do you want me to do her breakfast?" Lucy offered.

"If that's alright Luce,"

"Willow what would you like darling?"

"Cereal please." Willow jabbed her finger at the fruit loops.

"Ok, you sit down and I'll add the milk."

"Thank you Lulu,"

"Of course."

Lucy poured the milk and cereal into willows bowl and passed her it along with a spoon. She decided to have something small for her breakfast. She settled on a banana.

Lucy walked out to the backyard and sat on the deck, she lit her cigarette and held it in her broken hand and her banana in the other.

After a little while she went back inside to get ready to leave. When she went inside it was quiet, Wesley had taken Willow and Jack to school, Angela was still sleeping.

Lucy gave Bailey a quick call to find out what time to come.

L- morning Bailey,
B- good morning Lu, you ok?
L- I'm alright, what time shall I come round?
B- honestly whenever your ready,
L- like in 10?
B- yeah sure, I'll see you soon.

Lucy wrote Angela a little note so she wouldn't worry about where Lucy was. She slid her Birkenstocks on and put the essentials in her pockets.

She got into her car, this was her first time driving since breaking her hand. Lucy managed it and arrived at baileys quite quickly.

She got out the car and knocked at the door,

"Hey Lu!" Bailey smiled.

"Hey Bailey, I've missed you."

Lucy followed Bailey into the kitchen where John was feeding Bea.

"Morning Lucy, you alright?" Nolan asked.

"Morning, I'm doing ok what about you?"

"I'm good, happy to have a day off."

"Sounds lovely,"

"Can I get you a drink Luce?" Bailey offered.

"I'm alright at the moment thanks."

"Okey dokie, you want to sit on the sofa?" Bailey asked.

"Yeah,"

Lucy sunk into the corner of the sofa, Bailey sat next to her.

"How's your new meds?"

"They seem to be good I think, just praying they work."

"Bet you're itching to get back to work."

"Yes I'm getting so bored of doing nothing all day." Lucy sighed.

"How is Tim doing after the accident? He's home now isn't he?" Nolan joined the conversation and passed Bea to Bailey.

"He's not too bad he was discharged yesterday, tam was supposed to be staying with me again last night but I had to send her to Tim's."

"Oh no, now come?"

"She just doesn't listen to me and her teacher told me she's been caught smoking quite a lot at school and I found out she's been stealing my cigarettes."
