What she Carries
Lucy had been with the police for a few years now - no longer a rookie. She had Tim. They had been together for over a year. Deeply in love. Their love radiated from them. They were partners. Lovers. Best friends. Everyone at the station knew. Everyone was rooting for them. Tim worked in METRO, so their relationship was never an issue. But Lucy carried a secret. A big one. Only one person had ever known - Captain Anderson. And now... she was gone. Only she knew what had happened to Lucy all those years ago... Back before the academy. Back before the badge. Lucy had been nineteen. A bartender. Homeless. She had to work to survive. And that's when she met him. He looked charming. Inviting. He asked her out. She said yes. And that changed everything. He kidnapped her. She knew his name - Caleb. She still sees his face. Everywhere. She doesn't remember how she escaped. Doesn't know how she got out. But she knows one thing: He's still out there. Free. He left her with scars. And a tattoo. When Tim asked her about it, she said it was a drunken mistake. A lie. One of many she had to tell. It's been ten years. And still... the fear lives on. Three times a week, she sees a therapist. And even now, she struggles to sleep in the dark. Captain Anderson sealed her file. Just in case. She knew how hard this was for Lucy. She protected her. But Lucy knows... One day, it might all come out. And she doesn't know how to explain it to anyone. Especially not Tim. He deserves honesty. Their love is built on it. And this secret could break it all. Will it come back to haunt her?Complete
