HE IS INVISIBLE.

Lucy’s POV

She was trying to hold her tears in because whenever she does that, she bites her lower lip. Her troubled situation and her sad face was agonizing me so much that looking at her made me cry more. I broke the eye contact between us and said in an awkwardly neutral tone “he talked to me.” Suddenly she became blood red in anger and sadness and asked “what the hell did he told you?” I worriedly said “he said….'don’t do this’.” I burst out in tears again thinking about him. She tried to calm me down “lucy, he is just trying to distract you because you are walking on the right path. Just ignore that petty dimwit and do what I tell you to do. Cameron and I are starting our research tomorrow as we have got to optimize every moment. You take care of yourself and stop crying again and again. Don’t be afraid of him as he’s not gonna hurt you. If he intended to hurt you, he could’ve done that before! Now try to get some sleep.” I nodded.

I looked at Cameron who was standing by the wall looking at me, tired, worried and sad. I’m the source of Cameron’s, jenny’s, my parents’ and the doctor’s worriedness. I pummeled the dark man’s left hand which was still stuck on my right one. But he didn’t move a muscle. I got so irritated of these glitches in my life that I thought of killing myself. No, I can’t do that! I’m Lucy Alison Davis. I face my problems instead of running away from them. That doesn’t really help but at least I got a slumber after that.

I woke up in the middle of the cold night. I couldn’t tell the exact time as darkness was currently embracing the room making everything as dark as my life. Suddenly I felt a warm hand on my left hand! Adrenaline started flowing in my veins.  I freaked out and moved my hand away like I just got an electric shock. I looked around my bed to find the warmth emanating source was luckily Cameron’s hand. Thank god, it’s not another invisible man! Wait. What was he doing there? He was sitting beside my bed on the carpet with his hands on the bed. Why is he so worried and careful about me? I saw jenny sleeping on the black couch. Then I saw him; I hate to mention him but the visible man to me and invisible man to all. I asked irritated “now that you started to talk to me, can I at least know your name?” luckily he said nothing or I would’ve waked up the entire city with my screams. ‘Lucy! Stop making fun of yourself. Have some self-respect!’ I voice in my head said. Okay, jokes apart.

I uncovered myself to get out of bed. Oops! The stupid Lucy Alison Davis stepped on Cameron’s hand! Cameron obviously woke up but with moan. “Watch out psycho! Ouch!! You’re heavier than you look.” Cameron whispered massaging his aching hand and stood up to talk to me. I said “I’m sorry. Now it’s your turn to apologize!” he asked “for what, miss? I didn’t wake you up in the middle of a freezing night by stepping on you.” I giggled and said “for calling me psycho, again!” he all of a sudden became serious and asked looking right into my blue eyes “lucy, tell me what’s going on. Please. I really would like to help you, and I can do that only if you tell me the whole story.”

I moved away from him and said “sorry, but I can’t tell you. Please, try to understand. You’ve helped me enough. I don’t wanna give you any more trouble. You are right, I’m psycho, and I’m a treasure of problems.” He moved closer to me swiftly making me feel uncomfortable so I shifted backwards to maintain the distance between us. He kept on moving closer and I kept on moving away before I touched the wall and there was no space to run away as he kept his hands on the wall locking me in. he stiffly said “tell me, now!”. The scared little helpless Lucy told him the whole story which he heard without a word. He said “it’s okay, I will help you and I will be with you till the end.” I kept quiet. I had nothing to say. Normally I would’ve fell for a caring, handsome and helpful guy like him. But as you know my life is not at all normal at the moment so that’s why I was blank. He gave me a warmth smile. I realized he do deserve a hug, for being so nice to me. I hugged him and made his dark gray t-shirt damp with my tears. He caressed my blond hair in silence.

I woke and felt that the absence of jenny and Cameron was annoying. But I knew that they’ve gone to investigate about the dark man. So I decided to make myself busy by doing the things I used to do in my normal life. I reminded myself that I haven’t signed into facebook for months. So I borrowed my nurse’s phone to do that.
