Lucian for life

Chapter 16

Holly's pov

"What do you mean?" I wanted to know from Ashley although I had a pretty good idea what she meant. But I didn't want to get my hopes up.

"I mean that she woke up!" Ash answered with a big smile on her face. I was so relieved when Ashley said that. Even though Goose and I are just on screen mother and daughter I care for her like a real daughter. And I didn't know what I would've done if she had died. Lucy was so important to me. 

"Oh my god! This is amazing!" Troian exclaimed.

"Yeah, I know. When I walked to Lucy's room to say goodbye to her and everything, I saw Lucy and Ian kissing," Ashley told with an even bigger smile on her face.

"I'm so happy for those two lovebirds," Shay joined the conversation.

"But what I don't really understand is why they were crying. I mean when you wake up you don't cry, right?" Ash questioned.

"I don't know. They were probably just overwhelmed," Marlene said.

"I just don't understand a lot of stuff that is going on," Ashley said.

"What are you talking about?" Sasha wanted to know.

"It's just that we were the only ones who visited her and when I told Luce that the whole PLL Family is waiting for her in the waiting room, she looked surprised. It was like she doesn't know that kinda support. And I think that it's strange that she met our families on set but we have never met someone related to her. When we have a family day or something on set Luce is either sick or no one is there for her. And I bet that Ian knows something."

"But there has to be someone. I think that you're just over thinking stuff. Maybe her family couldn't make it to set on these days or something else happened. I think that you should just be grateful that Luce woke up," I stated.

"You're probably right, Holly. I am just seeing ghosts." Although I told Ash that she has to be wrong, I started thinking about it. What she said made sense.

I have never met anyone, too. And when she first came to set, Luce was very quiet and when she wasn't filming she was alone in her dressing room.

It was like she was mistrusting all of us. Like she had a problem with trusting people.
But after a few weeks Goose opened up more and more. And on some point she was normal, like everyone else too.

As time went by no one was thinking about Lucy's behavior anymore. But there was one thing I couldn't forget. Even after years I still remembered it like it happened very recently and nearly every day I spent in the hospital I thought about it.

Flashback

We were filming the first season of Pretty Little Liars. And I thought that my on screen daughter Lucy was acting really strange lately.

I mean she was pretty quiet the whole time but she started to open up. And now it was weird somehow. 

"Hey, have you seen Lucy?" I asked Shay.

"No, the last time I saw her was when we were filming. I think she went to her dressing room," Shay answered.

"Okay, thanks." I went to Lucy's dressing room and knocked on the door.
No answer. I knocked again. No answer.

So I decided to open the door and when I looked inside I was scared, because Lucy's whole dressing room was dark. Really dark.
And she was just sitting on the couch, staring into space. She didn't move.

I stood right in front of her but she didn't move. I started to shake her gently and it was like she was waking up from a trance.

"Hi, what are you doing here?" Lucy questioned.

"I just wanted to stop by and remind you that we are shooting our scene 25 minutes later," I answered.

"OK," Luce said with tears running down her face.

"Are you okay?" I questioned concerned.

"I am okay. It's just that," she said sobbing, "th-that..."

"That what?" I wanted to know what was bothering her so bad. I was really concerned about her.

It took Luce so long to finally start trusting everyone on set. I just wanted to know the reason why.

"Never mind," she said sobbing.

I pulled her in for hug and waited for her to calm down. "It's okay. You can talk to me," I tried to reassure her.

When Lucy finally calmed down she said "I'm fine. No need to talk." And with that she wiped her tears away, stood up and left the room.

We never talked about it again. But ever since I was thinking about that day whenever she was sad.

End of Flashback

'I think that I should talk to Lucy about this,' I thought.

"Ash, do you think it's a bad time to go see her?" I questioned.

"I think you should go," she answered.

"Ok."

On my way to Lucy's room, I thought about that strange afternoon over and over again. This day was haunting me. She looked like she had some kind of depression or something.

I couldn't imagine that it's normal to sit in a dark room and to stare into space without noticing what happens around you.

'Maybe this is a mistake. Maybe I shouldn't confront her with something like this right now.' I thought.

When I reached Lucy's room, i stopped in my tracks because i heard Lucy and Ian talking. I always thought that they're so cute together.

My mood changed when I heared Lucy say something from which I hope it's not true or not permanently.
I was scared.

Lucy's pov

Ian and I were talking about stuff that I had missed out when I wanted to move my leg. I wanted to push the covers away because it was becoming very hot and I started to sweat.

I tried and I tried but nothing happened. I couldn't really feel my legs but I thought that it was normal after a coma. That was the reason why I didn't say something to the doctors while they were checking up on me.

I started to become desperate. What was wrong with me? Ian must've seen my desperation because he asked

"What's wrong, baby?"

"I can't move my legs. I can't feel them!"
