I went over to Stephens and knocked at the door. There was a moment of silence until the door creaked open. Stephen looked at me. I had tears in my eyes and looked down. "What's wrong Lucy...?" He asked helping me inside. He leads me to the couch of his modern home where I sat and he joined me. I didn't look up at him. Stephen took a piece of my hair and moved it to tuck behind my ear. I looked up at him. "You never really told me what happened at the doctors' appointment." I sighed and I went on to tell him about the prosthetic leg that cost so much and I won't be able to walk normal ever again. I felt hopeless and laid back on the couch. Stephen looked down and looked at me. "I'm sorry about this..." He said kissing my forehead. "It's probably really hard for you..."

I nodded and looked down. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked in a concerned tone. "Why don't you tell me these things... It's like I don't even know you unless you tell me things." I felt saddened by the comment that tears ran down my cheeks faster. "I didn't want you to throw pity at me..." I said and sobbed over my tears. "I didn't want you to worry about me.." Stephen shook his head and held me close to him. "Lucy... I care for you so much it's magical." Stephen strokes my hair. "I told you I am always here for you." he took a breather. "Now... no more pouting." I looked up at him as He kissed my lips. "Let me make you some supper and lead you home before your parents worry!" He got up and went into the kitchen as I sat there and stared off into space.

After supper, I grew tired and my eyes were heavy. Stephen makes the best meals in the universe. No offense to my mother. She picks out of the garden and freshes the veggies and make wonderful meals. Stephen smiled at me as I let out a short yawn."Let me take you home." He smiled. I shook my head. "It's all good Stephen... I will make it home." I said to him in a tired tone. "I don't live that far away." Stephen looked concerned. "Are you sure-" I quickly interrupt him. "I'm sure!" I gave him a weak smile and he somehow took it. "Alright... Love you." He kissed me and I kissed him back and got up and went to the door.

I got outside and went to the crosswalk. I looked both ways and went across. Suddenly truck lights turn on as it sped towards me. I looked and screamed. Everything went black...
