@ the Pharmacy

Lucy walked hastily out of the pharmacy, clutching a small box in her hand.

She sat down on an old broken bench and looked at the box.

Contraception Pills.

Without  hesitation, she ripped open the box, popped a pill, and threw it in her mouth. She then grabbed her waterbottle and chugged it down a little too quickly.

"KEGH! KEGH!" she coughed violently, hitting her chest in a desperate motion.

Wavering slightly, Lucy stood up and headed towards the bin. She discarded the box in it, and drove back home.

The Next Morning @ Work - Lucy's POV

I slowly entered the facility I was placed in. I sighed and placed a hand on my stomach.

Yesterday night was terrible. I spent half of the night puking my insides out. I even woke my parents up from their slumber.

The Previous Night...
.
.
.

Lucy's mother, Layla, had just finished cooking one of Lucy's favorite meals: spaghetti bolognese. However, as soon as Lucy entered the door, she'd remained upstairs since.

Layla, crossed her arms and pouted. She then glanced over at her husband, Jude, who was seated at the dining table, scanning through an old bunch of newspapers.

"Honey, Lucy hasn't been downstairs yet~" She complained. 'This isn't like her~ Normally she'd hit me up with those foolish jokes of her's--but she isn't~!

Jude looked up at her, slightly bewildered. "Ah, yes. That is quite true. . .I wonder what she's doing. . ."

He placed the old newspaper down on the dining table, and crossed his arms.

"Honey, wait here, I'm gonna go check on her real quick,"
Layla stated.

"A-ah! Then should I accompany you--"

"That won't be necessary~!" Layla rejected, singing her way up the stairs.

As she got to the top of the stairs, she slowly walked along the corridor.

"Lucy. . .? Lucy, honey, where are you hiding~?" She chirped.

Silence.

"I made your favorite spaghetti~!"

Groan~

The sound startled her, as she slowly approached Lucy's door.

"Darling. . .?" She called, slowly opening her bedroom door.

Her room was empty.
"I swear I heard something. . ."

"BLEGH!"

Layla instantly left Lucy's room, and sprinted towards the bathroom. The door was slightly open, and she rushed in.

"LUCY!"

----------------------------

So...that's what happened.

Those contraception pills made me puke freverently last night. Right now, I currently have a headache, my feet are killing me, my eyes feel droopy, my legs feel like led--I don't even know why I came to work today.

I sighed and carried a clipboard in my hand. As I walked down the corridor, everyone seemed to be fussing and creating a commotion about something. When I heard my name amongst the buzz of people, that's when I actually lifted my head up in curiosity.

There are more rumors about me, I need to notify Levy about this...

'Levy, get me a cup of tea please," I said, opening my office door.

As soon as I walked in, Levy hid something instantly behind her back.

I gave her a questioning look.
"Is there something I can't look at?" I peered.

"N-nothing..." Levy stuttered.

"Then why're you acting like that??"

She looked at me guiltily. "Lucy..." She held out her hidden hand and passed me a phone. "Don't be angry over it."

She ran away hastily, slamming the office door after herself.

"Huh?" I thought.

I looked at the phone in my hand, and my eyes widened in shock.
