my little secret ; lana del rey (DISCONTINUED)

25

My phone starts ringing, waking me up from my sleep. I fell asleep straight away after coming back from Lucy's room. I check the time and see it's 3am before answering the unknown number.

"Hello?" i say tiredly.

"lana it's lucy's dad, i'm gonna need you to come to the hospital, we got burgled and her mom got really badly injured. Lucy isn't too good, she's pale, she keeps crying and i don't know what to do" Her dad tells me.

I immediately shoot up out of my bed and grab some leggings and a hoodie out of my closet.

"i'll be right there" I say before ending the call. I quickly get changed and sort out my hair which is still ok from before. I call myself a taxi and wait for a moment.

I get my bag and put a phone charger, a spare hoodie and some water for Lucy. I can imagine she's not going to want to leave her mom so she may need some stuff.

My phone vibrates telling me my taxi is here and I quickly walk out of the hotel.

"The hospital please" I say to the driver and he begins the short journey. I mess with my hands feeling myself worry. I really hope nothing has happened to her mom that's life threatening.

We arrive at the destination and i pay the driver quickly and jump out of the car sprinting into the hospital. I text her dad and ask where about they are. He quickly replies telling me that they are in the ICU. Shit it must be bad.

I rush through the hospital, apologising to people as i barge past. Once I reach the unit, i spot Lucy's dad outside the waiting room on his phone. He has cuts all over his face and a black eye and also a bandage on his arm.
She puts his phone away and greets me.

"thank you for coming, Lucy is in there" He tells me, pointing to the empty waiting room.

"how is her mom?" i ask, feeling really concerned.

"She's suffered a punctured lung and huge breakage her collar bone and ribs so she's in surgery for a few hours" he tells me.

"i'm so sorry" i reply. he thanks me again and opens the door for me to go into waiting room.

I walk in and see Lucy glued to her phone, she looks completely drained of life. Like she hasn't slept in about a month. She probably doesn't even want me here.

"Lucy?" i say softly. Her eyes shoot up and she looks at me confused.
"What are you doing here?" she asks almost emotionless.

"Your dad called me" I say and walk over to her. She shakes her head at me again.

"I thought i told you to leave me alone" She says harshly but then apologises when she realises. I open my bag and get out my hoodie and the bottle of water. I hand them too her and she thanks me, putting the hoodie on herself.

I take a seat next to her and sigh. I don't even know what to say to her. My phone vibrates again and i check it.

from lucy's dad
get her to have some sleep.

I close my phone and look towards lucy, who is staring at a wall. Her eyes are all puffy and her face blotchy. "you need to get some sleep" I say quietly to her, trying not to be too overwhelming.

She shakes her head, not moving her eyesight.
"I can't, not until i know she's ok" She tells me.

"I'm pretty sure she's gonna want you to be ok, all of you, you need to look after yourself before you look after her" I tell her. She sighs.

I put my arm out for her and she stares at it for a while before giving in. She moves herself closer to me and rests her head on my shoulder. I stroke her hair with my hand, trying my best to comfort her and make her feel better. But it's probably not working.

"i promise to you that i will wake you up if anything happens ok" I tell her. she buries her face in my neck and i can feel her breath warming me. After a while i'm pretty sure she has fallen asleep.
