In Your Eyes ↦ Lauren/You

Chapter 29

It's been three days since Lauren and I talked, since she found out that I'm Y/N. I tried to avoid her at all costs. I'm always shutting my blinds when I know that the ambulance of nine-one-one are here at the ER. I'm not leaving my office until they left and I think my team got the idea because they're only calling me as soon as Lauren and her medical team steps out of the Emergency Room.

I walk out of the ER and told Tori that I'll just buy some food somewhere. She nods her head at me. I was making my way at the cafeteria when I heard someone calls my name. "Y/N Y/LN!" I shot my head back and saw a woman wearing a police uniform. She looks familiar to me. She went up to me and when I realized who it was, she smirks at me before colliding her fist to my lower lip.

I run my thumb to the spot where she hits me. She's glaring at me, "Lucia Vives," I muttered out. "Long time no see," She rolls her eyes at me.

"Let's talk," She said sternly and she walk pass by at me. I shake my head lightly and follow her.

We found ourselves sitting on the bench near the parking lot. We've been sitting here for ten minutes or so, in a complete silence. I look back at her and saw that she really became the police officer that she've always dreamt of. She always threatened me that she's going to hurt me if I ever hurt or made her bestfriend cries. Now I know why she's here. I bet Lauren told her.

I cleared my throat and keep my distance to Lucy. "You became a police woman as you had hoped." I said to her, trying to start a conversation.

"Yes, I became a police woman that I had hoped." She said mimicking what I had told her. "While Lauren, she became a part of the emergency nine-one-one rescue worker because she said that she will be living the bastard's dream. And now, she goes around causing trouble." She glance at me and squints her eyes then looks at me like she wanted to punch me again. "Are you happy that she decided to live your dream? Are you happy that the police station was like her second home?" I didn't answered her then she rolls her eyes at me again. "Fucking bastard." Lucy scoffs.

I actually understand why she's so mad at me. I hurt her Lauren, I hurt her bestfriend and I know it. I wouldn't be mad at Lucy if she ever punch me again out of nowhere because I deserve it. I'm an asshole for making Lauren cry and leaving the green-eyed Cuban for almost twelve years.

An awkward silence fell between us, I don't know what would I tell Lucy. I sighed and decided to speak up again, "I went to the police station to see Detective Hansen." I told her. Maybe he knows him and knows about my mom's case.

"I contacted you after seeing that memo. In my wildest dreams, I couldn't have been able to imagine that Y/NN will Y/N Y/LN." She told me truthfully.

A few days ago, I got a call from an unknown number saying that they are working at the police station telling me about the hit-and-run case of my mom. I didn't know that it was Lucy whom I've talked to.

"Then you're the person whom I talked to on the phone?" I asked her and she look up to me.

"If I have known earlier, your lip would have been busted a few days sooner." Her face doesn't change. She still looks at me like she wanted to kill me. Her face softens for a second before saying, "But your mom's accident, was Detective Hansen in charge of it?"

"Mhmm,"

"If it's a hit-and-run, even if there was a death, it's almost time for the statute of limitations to expire. You didn't show your face at all then. It didn't mean you had given up, right?" The police woman officer asks.

"No, I still haven't." I shift on my seat and face Lucy. "But how's Detective Hansen? I wanted to say hello to him at least once."

"If you had been a little later, you wouldn't have been able to say that hello." Lucy mumbled under her breath. What does she mean by that? Is he dying? I hope not.
