It had been 3 days since I've been at work and I was going back today. My phones been blowing up with messages but I've only responded to Grey. I was so tired not physically but mentally. I didn't wanna feel like this. I hate this feeling I just want it to end. I'm dreading going to work I'm gonna get tons of questions on why I wasn't at work or answering. I wanted to ask grey for another personal day but I knew I had too many cases to do. I got up and put some black jeans on and a hoodie. Washed my face, brushed my teeth and my hair. I eat some yogurt and head out the door.

As soon as I walk through the door I have people rushing in front of me. (Angela, Nyla, Tim, Nolan) Holy shit you're alive, Angela says pulling me into a hug. Why wouldn't I be, I ask while laughing and hugging her back. Well you left for 3 days and didn't respond to anyone, Nyla says now hugging me as well. I just needed a few personal days, I say. Everything okay, Nolan asks me. Mhm, I reply. Let us know if you need anything okay, Tim says while ruffing my hair up. I will and stop doing that I'm not a little kid and you're messing my hair up, I say while running my fingers thru my hair while everyone else just laughs. Grey wants us in roll call so come on, Nolan says. Alright I'm coming I gotta change real quick, I say as I walk to the lockers room. After I change I walk to the roll call room and stand beside Angela. What does he want, I whisper to her. I don't know, Angela says. Aright listen up everyone that's in here is going on vacation in two days it isn't up for discussion, we're going to Hawaii you have tomorrow off to get packed or do whatever you do and we're staying for a week, Grey says. I would just have to get someone to babysit Leah, Nyla says. Same with Liam, Tim says. Don't worry bring your kids and spouse they're more than welcomed to come, grey says. At first I was excited but then I remembered Hawaii gonna be hot so I'm gonna end up wearing shorts and people are gonna ask about my scars. This is so exciting, Angela says to me as we're walking out. I know right, I say. We finish shift and head home. I actually had a good nights sleep I slept for about 7 hours and I was proud of myself.

The next day

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off. I set if for 8 because Angela is supposed to be here at 10, me her, Bailey, Luna, Nyla, and Celina are all supposed to go shopping together. I put some black ripped jeans on and a sweater light pink sweater with my crocs. I do my normal morning routine and eat some yogurt. I see Angela's text and it says she's outside. I'm the first one she picked up so we're just driving around picking everyone up when my dad calls me, I sigh as I pick up the phone. (Everyone in the car, Angela, Luna, Celina, Nyla)

Lucy- Hello
Patrick- Hey sweetheart
Lucy- hey
Patrick- is it true
Lucy- let me guess she told you
Patrick- yea she did and I want to know if it's true
Lucy-why does it matter if it's true or not it's not like you're gonna believe me
Patrick- so it is true
Lucy- yea it's true, I say with tears forming in my eyes and a shaky voice
Patrick- what's his name
Lucy- why, what are you gonna do
Patrick- I just wanna know his name
Lucy-  Jason Myers
Patrick- Did your mom have anything to do with it
Lucy- I'm pretty sure she filmed it a few times, I say tears now on my checks
Patrick- I'm so sorry sweetheart I should've got you out of that house when I divorced her
Lucy- well things happen I'm over it now so I don't really care
Patrick- does anybody else know
Lucy- I told aunt Amy but I had to show her the scars from it and Jackson knew
Patrick- do you think you could explain to me how it happened
Lucy- you expect me to explain in detail about what happened for 14 years, no thank you I'll call you later

I hung the phone up and wiped my face and got asked to many questions. "Are you okay", "who's Jason Myers" "what happened" "you never cry in front of people so what's wrong" "what did Jackson know" "what happened for 14 years". Nothing wrong, yes I'm okay, and he's nobody, I say as my leg begins to shake. We're here if you need to talk,Angela says putting her hand on my knee to stop it from shaking.

We all shop for about 3 hours before heading home. Once I got home I changed and took a shower. I ate pizza for dinner. I packed my bags and went to sleep.

Once Luna got home she told Grey about Lucy's phone call and they were deeply concerned about her.

The next morning
I woke up excited for the vacation. I put on some joggers and tank top and a hoodie, did my morning routine and threw my hair in a messy bun. I grab my bags and head to the airport. Once I get there I see everyone else looks like I'm the last one to arrive which I hate. Hey Lucy, everyone says. Hey, I say back. LUCY!!, someone yells while running up to me, I look down and see Liam. Hey buddy, I say while picking him up and ruffing his hair up. I missed you, he says while hugging me. I missed you too, I say while hugging him back. Guys come on we're boarding, grey says. I grab my bags and we head to the plane. I try to give Liam back to Tim but he wanted to stay with me and I didn't mind. Everyone was seated with their spouse and me and Angela got seated next to each other. I put Liam in my lap and wince in pain because of my cuts but I still keep him on my lap because he has no other place to sit. You okay, Angela asks me. Yea, I say with a slight smile even though my legs are burning. I slept through the whole flight which surprised me because I barely get sleep as it is. Once we get to the vacation house grey tells us our rooms, all the kids share a room, Tim and Isabel, Nyla and James, Grey Luna, Aaron and Celina, Nolan and Bailey, and Me and Angela. It's already dark out so everyone heads to bed.
