Ch. 9 No longer Hiding and a tag-along

Ch. 9 No longer hiding, and a tag-along

A\N so sorry the last chapter was short but that felt like the best way to end the chapter with a bit of a cliffhanger sorry. But I will make up for it in this chapter. And I will start this chapter in Edmund’s POV. Have any of you discovered the connection between the twins and Nurse Claire yet? Let me know enjoy.

I have been losing my bloody mind these last couple of months. Lucy has been avoiding me at every turn. She hasn’t been to dueling club at all and she stopped coming to choir class all together. I cant find her whenever I look for her. I am agony. All I can remember is the hurt in her eyes, the pain that was there when I last saw her. And I hate myself because I know I caused that. I was breaking a bit inside cause she lied and I was confused. But I should not have yelled at her like that. I should not have accused her of betraying me. She had said she did it because she wanted to be with me. And the fencing club she knew would take up a lot of my time. So I can kind of see why she did it. I just wish she gave me the slightest clue. I only saw her briefly during the competition last month. She danced with Barry. And she danced seemingly without her heart. She didn’t even place in the dance portion. But the rest she did very well so she got third over all. She had danced in a black evening gown that time. Luke wasn’t well either. He not allowed to go near Sophia since she told him to stay away looked so broken. He also wore black.  He did well in the over all competition but he no longer had his heart in it. He lost his drive. Sophia had been his drive all along. I only saw her briefly that day last month but now that I think about that she was looking a bit thinner then. I decide head to the secondary girls dorm. Lucy is still in primary but has been in the secondary dorm since the incident first year. At the entrance of the dorm someone had her picture from the last competition and wrote for a Beautiful Rose you are ugly! I crumple it up and throw it away. I go to her dorm room. On it someone wrote in red paint someone wrote “No one loves you, Ugly Rose just die!” I knocked on her door. I must help her. But she isn’t there so on my way back out. I run into Barry. “Mate I saw Lucy a few minutes ago.” “Lucy? Where was she?” “Heading into where the indoor pools are. You should hurry she doesn’t look well at all. In fact she looks well like a ghost.” He says and I take off running.

I run straight into where the indoor pools are. She looks quite ill. Then suddenly she fall into the pool. At first she struggles then she just gives up. Like she no longer has the strength or will to live. I jump and grab her and kick up from the ground. Then I lay her on the edge of the pool. I get her out of danger of falling back in. “Lucy!” I cry out. And I start giving her mouth to mouth and doing chest compressions. “Please don’t die on me! Lucy stay with me please!” I cry as I continue to do chest compressions and mouth to mouth. I do so until finally she coughs up the water and looses consciousness. But she is breathing. I pick her up. She feels like she weighs no more than a small child when in fact she is a girl that has started puberty. Oh father in heaven Lucy have you been starving yourself?! I wonder in agony as I Carry her at a practical run to the nurses office. Nurse Claire looks over her than calls for an ambulance. Lucy looks so pale.
Later
At the hospital they determine her to have moderate almost severe malnutrition and she has been over working herself in this state. She is real sick. Her brother was brought in for the same thing only he wasnt as bad. He lost about ten pounds in 5 days. Lucy had lost nearly 30 pounds and none of us know how long she hadn’t been eating. They put the twins in the same room just separated by a curtain. Sophia is crying she had been the one to find him and had saw him fall down a flight of stairs before he stopped. Lucy fell too into a swimming pool where she was drowning. Sophia and I pull havoc on the nurses and doctors until we are allowed to stay at bedside. Which they finally do. And I crawl into bed with her and I hold her just praying she would survive this cause I would die without her. “Im sorry Lucy. Im so sorry just please come back to me. Come back to me please Lucy.” I apologize and beg over and over. And I can hear Sophia doing the same. There is hope for you yet mate. I think at Luke. And I drop little kisses all over Lucy’s face which mixes with my tears. I would be nothing without her. My wife, my lover and whom my heart beats for.
The next morning
Luke wakes up and Sophia had passed out. . I open the curtain a bit so he can see me and Lucy. “Why is my sister here?” “Same reason you are only she is more ill.” I tell him gently. “I’ve tried to get her to eat for a while now but she wouldn’t listen to me at all.” “ I thought she listened to you.” “She does when it suits her. There is only one person she ever really listens to.” He says and I wonder if he is talking about me or someone else. “Hey mate you have hope.” “What do you mean by that?” “Sophia came with you last night and stayed with you all night. She cried a lot and she barely fell asleep like an hour ago.” “She did? How did she know I was sick?” “She was there last night and saw you fall down the stairs.” “I fell down stairs?” “Yes and at my school Lucy fell too but straight into an indoor pool.”
