I inhaled and exhaled a deep breath before leaving my office to meet Lucy for this meeting. I honestly wasn't looking forward to this one bit. Yes, I understand that self-harm is a serious matter, but at the end of the day, I have no idea what it is like. Hence I invited Lucy, she has more experience and knowledge on the subject. I want to ask her if she has cut recently, but I know this is a tough topic for her.
'You ready?' I ask as I aproach her in the corridor. I absolutly love her outfit, I slightly jealous! She always looks great for meetings and interviews.
'I guess so' so replies quietly.
'Lucy? Are you ok?' I question
'No' she replies in a whisper that I could barley hear.
'Why? What's happened?' I am really worried about her. She is like a sister to me.
There is a silence that is broken with the dorr opening.
'Hey, do you wanna go for a coffee after this? We can talk about it if you like?' I ask kindly
'Yeah, ok' She smiles.
The interview came and went. I didn't really speak, I allowed Lucy to. She was more confident talking about it after the snotty lady in the stupidly high heels promised her name wouldn't be revealed. And that Lucy would be allowed to gog over the article to make any changes she wasnt happy with.
*At Starbucks*
It was a short drive to Starbucks, but I struggled to make conversation with Lucy. I only got yes or no answers, something was wrong. Some thing big, bigger than her ass of a boyfriend.I hated Niall, he was good-looking, yes. But he treated Lucy like s**t. He was never there when she needed him, and he always used her. I knew he was cheating on her, he still is, but alas, Lucy doesn't believe me. She is too hung up on the fact that she is dating THE Niall Horan. Ever since she began dating him, I lost interest in One Direction. He was always really sweet in interviews on TV and sounded really sweet in magazines. But he hurt my best friend,numerous times, so no I hate him.
We ordered our drinks from the counter and took a seat at the back of the shop.
'Now, tell me what's happened' I pushed.
She inhaled a deep breath and began to speak...
