Chapter 2: Lucy
I woke up the next day with pain: my head was pounding, body aching and my ankle were in agony.
"Ugh"
Groggily, I hopped to the bathroom. I was a mess.
My one picture perfect makeup was now messy and horrible, mascara ran down my cheeks in rivers from all the crying last night and to top it all off, my hair looked like it had been in a tornado.
I frowned at my reflection.
When did I become such a mess?
After a nice long shower, I had changed into a pair of black leggings, a light purple v- neck and a grey wool cardigan.
It wasn't fancy, but it covered the multiple bruises on my skin. Yet even after covering up so well, there was still one issue- my ankle.
After the shower, it had swelled down quite a bit, but was still extremely hard to walk on.
Maybe I could make crutches? I thought or maybe I could get Alfred to-
"Pacifica?"
I turned my head to see a middle aged woman. She had long brown hair with golden highlights, but it was tied into a bun. Her face was free of wrinkles for the time being, yet she had very dark bags.
I knew that face anywhere; those kind hazel eyes, warm welcoming smile- it was Lucy!
"Lucy!" I exclaimed, smiling brightly.
Lucy has been my maid for as long as I can remember. Whenever I was sick, she would be there. Whenever I was sad, she would cheer me up. Honestly, she was more of a mother figure to me than my own mother, like how Alfred was more of a father to me than my own.
I got up and tried to hug her, but fell back onto my bed instead.
I hissed and gritted my teeth in pain.
"Aww you poor thing" Lucy gushed, as she came to me and gave me a hug.
"What happened to your ankle?"
I stared at her large hazel eyes, my own eyes starting to fill with tears.
Thank god I don't have makeup I thought, what should I do? I could tell her what happened, but I don't want a repeat of last time
(Flashback)
A younger Pacifica ran into her room, crying her eyes out, when she suddenly bumped into Lucy.
"Pacifica dear, watch where your- What the h#ll happened to you!"
Pacifica just cried more, as she clung onto Lucy.
"Mommy and Daddy said I was useless"
(End Flashback)
After that, Lucy nearly quit her job…
That's it! I had made up my mind.
"N-no, it's all fine" I lied "I just tripped up, no-nothing to worry 'bout"
Lucy frowned, clearly not buying what I had just said.
"Will you actually tell me what's up?" She asked once again
"I said nothing!" I hadn't meant to snap, and quickly covered my mouth after what I just said.
"I- I'm so sorry" I cried "I di- didn't meant to s-snap, but I just-"
"Shhhhh, it's okay" Lucy cooed "Don't worry, I know you didn't mean it"
"Bu- but I was being horrible" I exclaimed
"No, you were just upset"
"But that's not an excuse to be horrible!"
"Pacifica, please calm down" Lucy told me "Breathe in, breathe out"
Once I had calmed down enough, I told her everything that happened the night before: the party, the ghost, the abuse, the ankle and finally Dipper…
"Hm… after everything you said, I think you should leave."
I stared at her in confusion "What do you mean leave?"
"Well," she started "For starters you need to get out of this house- if I know your parents, they would probably abuse you for a while.."
I knew what a while meant. When anyone told me a while, it would probably mean never or forever; and now I knew it meant forever…
"And for seconds" Lucy said, interrupting my train of thoughts "I think that boy you talked about, Dopper was it?"
"Dipper" I corrected.
Lucy smiled "Dipper. Okay, well I think that Dipper likes you and that you should run away and live with him"
I stared at Lucy. "You what!?"
"Calm down Pacifica!"
"B- but you want me to live with Dipper" I could feel my cheeks go beet red.
Lucy smirked "I'll let you think about it"
All I could do was watch as Lucy left the room, leaving me to my own thoughts and worries.
Could I really live with Dipper?
