Parents

Promise you wont get mad

In the morning Lucy woke up feeling energetic due to sleeping for so long, she got out of bed and sat at her vanity. She decided to quickly do some light makeup but wanted to leave her hair in its natural waves.

After doing her makeup Lucy decided to wear leggings and a hoodie, she knew she would have to change into her uniform once getting to work anyway so she didn't put too much effort into her outfit.

When Lucy entered the kitchen Angela immediately handed her a bowl of cereal with a smile on her face. Lucy could tell Angela wanted Lucy to have a good first day back at work.

"How was Nyla when u called her last night?" Lucy asked while she ate.

"She's doing ok, I think she's working today."

"That's good, she really wasn't looking good when I saw her yesterday."

"She told me how u helped her speak to james," Angela was so proud.

"Yeah, I really wanted her to get it sorted."

"Well done Lu, will u be ready to leave in 10?"

"Yeah let me run and grab my meds." Lucy placed her bowl in the sink and ran back into her room to grab her meds. She also put her vape in her bra but decided to leave her cigarettes at home. She knew she really needed to quit as soon as possible.

Angela was waiting in the car for Lucy so Lucy quickly locked the front door before she got in.

"U feeling ready?"

"I think so." Lucy replied as she picked at her nails.

"Just remember everyone is working today so there will always be someone around darling," Angela noticed Lucy seemed nervous.

Lucy nodded.

When they arrived at the station Lucy grabbed her bag and walked in. She was pretty much glued to Angela when they walked into the locker room. Lucy tried to ignore the eyes of everyone around her.

Lucy went to her locked and grabbed her uniform out, she decided to go into a cubicle rather than being the centre of everyone's attention.

As she pulled her shirt over her head she realised how baggy it had become, the same with her pants. She knew she had become skinnier, but didn't realise how skinny.

"What the hell do I do." She muttered to herself.

She quickly messaged Celina asking if she had a spare belt. Soon enough she heard Celina at her door.

Lucy came out and quickly put the belt on, she still felt stupid because of how her shirt looked but there was nothing she could do about it. She just prayed no one else would realise.

Lucy decided she would go to roll call as she knew she would have to face it at some point so why not today, she walked in with Celina and the two sat down together along with Aaron. Lucy was praying grey wouldn't do a welcome back speech, she was hoping he knew her well enough to know how much she would hate that.

"Welcome back Lucy," Aaron smiled.

"Thanks." Lucy attempted to smile back despite her nerves.
