Lucy's POV
"Yay work". You know trying to hide the sarcasm in my voice is really hard when it comes to Monday. "Why so enthusiastic honey?" David laughs sarcastically "Aren't you supposed to be at work by now?" I reply my eyebrow arched "Oh I'm the boss so I can go in whenever I want. And plus it's really slow at the restaurant today. Anyway bye love" "Um bye". Goh, how polite. Watching him walk down the stairs just makes my stomach squirm. He's so perfect.
Snapping back to reality I search through all of my clothes in the wardrobe trying to pick something nice for work. Finally I find something and place it on my bed, then head into the shower. I dry off, put my dress on and fix up my hair. Time for work.
***
Work is moving so slowly today. I've only been here for an hour but it literally feels like I've been here for six hours. Even though I have a lot of work to do I'm still bored. 11:30, 12:00, 12:30, ever since I've properly started doing my work time has been flying. It's already 1:30pm and I've only finished half of my 'work load' but I guess it's time for a half an hour lunch break.

Salads are your friend. Salads are your friend. Salads are your friend. "Oh yeah, can I get the lasagne please?" Well, there goes my healthy thinking/eating. "Is that all for today ma'am?" "Uh and could I get a lemon ice tea as well please?" That's healthy right? "Sure. That will be $8.30 thanks" I hand over a ten dollar bill "Here and keep the change for tips" I say with a smile "Thank you so much ma'am" "You're welcome". Mmmmm. This lasagne is delicious, honestly a good choice Lucy.

Back in the office again. "Hey Lucy, did you get my email?" Jerry asks "Sure did, I just completed that before I went off to lunch" "Oh really? Thank you" his smile. "Oh no problem, well I better get back to work I only have a couple hours left so, I'll see later yeah?" "Yeah see yah Luce" Luce, how cute. Wait no it's not Amber calls me that too.

What? It's already 3:00pm? But I haven't even finished half of my half. Ugh. Why couldn't I just be a fast worker. Guess I'm staying in late today. 3:30, 4:00, 4:30. Checking the time I see it is currently 4:00pm. I hear rattling coming from my door and in strides my boss looking down at a couple of filed papers "Oh Lucy. What are you still doing here? Weren't you supposed to be finished an hour ago?" "Yeah I was supposed to be but look at this I've I only managed to finish half so far" I reply a little annoyed "well since you're still here you'll be able to do these too. I'm sorry to have dumped these on you but they need to be finished by 3:00pm tomorrow. Do you think you can start on those right now please?" Rick begs "Sure" I say in a chirpy voice, which a little too chirpy. "Okay thanks Lucy". Yay more work. "Leave it open thanks it's a little hot in here" " Sure thing" and out walks my boss with a grin. He must be finished work. I seriously want to go home.

*6:45pm*
It's quatre to six and I'm just finishing work? What? I am so tired I could fall asleep on my desk. I grab all of my belongings and head down to the buildings car park. Finally, home time. I hop into my car and start it up. The engine roars to life bringing me a little satisfaction. I turn up the radio them playing 'Masterpiece' by Jessie J honestly this song is really good. I love it! Woo! (A/N you guys should totally check it out if you haven't heard it) I got so lost in the song I didn't realize the light turn from red to green, so now I have quite a lot of cars honking at me. I quickly take off and mange to catch the next green light. After some time I arrive home feeling exausated.

I walk upstairs into my room and flop on my bed. I could honestly fall asleep right now. I hear a crumbling sound and notice a piece of paper to the left of me. Quickly snatching it up I read. Tears force their way into my eyes almost spilling out of my eye lids. Why wouldn't David text me or call me? I'm his wife. She's my mother (inlaw) he could've picked me up. The note said:
Lucy,
My mother only has 24 hours to live.
I'm sorry to have run out on you but
I need to be by her side. I wouldn't
forgive myself if I didn't see her one
more time before she leaves for
good. I'm sorry I didn't tell you
earlier it's just that I wanted to be
with her as soon as possible. I
hope you understand.
Love David xox
I can't believe his mother's... dieing. With red puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks I ring Davids phone "H - Hello? Lucy?" "David. How is she?" I say as calm as possible "She doing fine. But she doesn't look as good as she was before" he says trying to hide his croaking voice "Can I come to visit?" I ask slightly changing the subject "Yeah sure. Just be careful on the road. You know I don't like you driving at night, even more so, now that we have a baby" "Don't worry honey, I'll be safe just look after your mother okay?" I reply in a light manner "Sure love. I'll see you soon. Love you" "Bye. Love you too".

*An hour later*
"David are you in here?" I call walking through the old Lockwood house. Walking up the stairs I hear a faint cry. "David?" I call concerned "Honey. I'm in mom's room" I quickly walk down the hallway to her room "How is she?" I ask in a hushed tone "Dead" David replied blankly "What? No she can't be. Are you sure? She has to be alive. There has to be something we can do. She can't be de-" "Lucy there's no pulse and she is no longer breathing" David told me whilst cutting me off "But... when did this happen?" I could feel tears again "10 minutes before you arrived" he says trying to be strong by not showing any emotions but I can see it in his eyes. He wants to break down and cry. "But. I was too late" I cry walking over to him and snuggling my head into his shoulder. I let my tears fall, wetting David's shirt. David rubs comforting circles into my back, trying to calm my down. But the more he trys the harder I cry. I miss her already. I love her so much and now she's gone. If I feel like this then David must be a hundred times worse. Wiping my face and nose I look up into David's eyes and place my hand on his cheek. I place a light kiss on his lips and say "it's okay to cry, she's your mother David" and with that said he broke down. Now it's my turn to be the strong one for their spouse to lean on. I can't believe she's gone. Life is too short.
