Real

Lucy's life has always been a matter of comparison and competition. She and her life had pros and cons but lets just say, she did pretty bad more in her life than pretty good things, just except for some days before she died. 14 November, 2015 was declared the death day of Lucy when everyone just gave up. She sure became a pure person when she died. Because everyone knows the theory for the cycle of life, pure and better people go to heaven first. Anyway, no one knows what happened to that poor seventeen year old girl. She even had amazing friends after the accident. Is she even really dead? No one knows and no one found out. It was just clueless. People did try to find her a lot but at the end they just reached one destination called nothing. But as per her condition she should be dead, shouldn't she?

So many questions. And so many will still come up. Only the universe and its laws know what happened to her after she died. So much talk about death. Gives everyone cringes. Lucy was a pretty funny and cheerful girl before her death. After that her life was more dull than before people said. But she seemed pretty normal. Just that she lost some things and some people but she had good companions to give her a reason to live. There was a day in her life when she had to go to the dentist to get her wisdom tooth in grade ten. That day in her life proved that her parents loved her for real because love is proven by the things parents give you right? Everyone understands that later.

'Dad I'm too scared to go and get my tooth removed.' She said crying as they stepped into the car.

'Sweetheart, you don't need to worry about anything, you know that I'm with you right?'

'Yes dad but I saw mom when she got her removed, it seemed frightening.' She was crying as a child for her age but then everyone has a different fear.

'Technologies have been improvised since. I know that you are all grown up but you don't need to worry, I will be there right next to you.' He put his hand on her palm and attached it as Lucy smiled.

Every child and parent has this kind of conversation but this was one to just mention. Lucy was more connected to her dad than her mom. Her conversation was to mention because, she didn't really have that attachment with her parents. Her parents were busy making and counting money. Now she is a teenager, so she wouldn't be home at evenings. Not parties, cheerleading. The sport that ruined it for her. On weekend they would have lunch and dinner together. Sometimes. She would be busy in her own thing and her parents would be attending community parties and high end openings of galleries and all that crap. She was seventeen when she when she died or well disappear. Thats why the police launched a search party and identification search in different parts. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have done that if she was eighteen and an adult. She was strong in other issues but not mentally that much. She would fall hard and never cry, she would get pushed but she would return with rage. To be girly, she had the fire? But when it came to emotional issues, nah girl, she ain't got it. She herself didn't know what was the purpose of her life.

She was to have a very good future in cheerleading but cheerleading itself took it away from her. She mainly got B's in school. She didn't play any other sport. She could play very good piano though. Maybe that. But now who cares? No one is ever going to know. Moving onto what is happening after she's one gone girl.

Mamma is an addict. Hopefully she should get better. Dad has moved on. Jackson, lets just skip him. Bree, lets skip her too. Rose and Ronald are still searching for. They keep calling people that might have a connection or go to the police again and again, they even tried and contacted the Canadian FBI but they ended up calling a random stupid local secret agent who made no sense. Turns out Mr. Janson is the saddest teacher. After all, he lost all one of his best pianist. Her new friends, a.k.a Rose's group of friends were pretty cool and she enjoyed a lot with them. They helped Rose and Ronald too but it led them to nowhere, just a jerk. Weird people in this world huh?

Moving on to the community that knew Lucy. As always, everyone came with designer black dresses, white pearls and a lace hat. Came in sobbing with thick handkerchiefs and crocodile tears. They all came to her so called funeral without a corpse. Pale faces eating free food and talking about how good of girl she was or still is. Everyone just wants to seem good. From the inner side they must be thinking about their work or how delicious the cupcakes were. Whatever, who cares about fake faces anyway?

Candles, pictures, roses, carnations, daisies, sunflowers and posters were kept outside Lucy's locker for remembrance for her. Some people even put balloons attached to her locker. When they emptied her locker, they found couple of novels. The black and white emergency flannel shirt. Her and Jackson's picture with a red cross on it. Some pink crafty hearts and stars, a lipstick. The Wolves magnet and some artsy polaroids. No valuables, nothing special.

At the end of the day, everything was just back to normal for the major amount of people everywhere. Just give someone two to three weeks to mourn and they will act like they were really attached to the person and act like you just want throw it in their face. Just give someone real two to three weeks to mourn and they will remain calm, try to get over it and once they do, the person remains in peace in their heart. Everyone was a hot mess at first but soon everyone realized to get their shit together and just get over it. Lucy will remain a memory in the paper hearts but she will remain mesmerizing in the skin ones. Maybe.
