Bella(POV)
"Don't worry Bella , Edward will find her." Alice said trying to calm me down. I was pacing back and forth trying not to pull my hair out. Rosalie had been apologizing over and over again, but that was the last thing on my mind.
"Edward!" I heard Alice say I quickly turned around and saw Edward walking back with Lucy in his arms. I ran over to them and took Lucy out of Edwards arms.
"Thank God ,Lucy I was so worried about you!" I said I stroked her hair.
She didn't say anything.
"Thank you Edward." I whispered
He brushed a stray hair out of my face and nodded.
I knew he would tell me what happened later. I walked back with Sophie to her car. I was still holding Lucy so I just got in the front seat. Sophie got in the drivers and started driving.
"What do you think happened?" She whispered.
I wasn't sure what to say ,I looked down at Lucy , she had fallen asleep so I knew it would be safer to talk about it.
"Rosalie said something about Lucing hearingloud voices?" She continued.
I had always known that Lucy hated big crowds but she always said they just gave her a headache but maybe...
"She can read minds like Edward." I thought outloud.
"What?" She asked.
"But she doesn't know how to control it so she blocks it out." I continued.
"What do you mean?"
I didn't say anything.I just stared straight ahead the whole ride home. Sophie finally pulled into the driveway and I got out, I quickly walked inside ,Lucy was still asleep, so I walked up stairs to her room and layed her down on her bed. I then walked back downstairs and saw Edward in the living room , he was the only one there.
"What happened?" I asked him as I sat down across from him.
"I found her behind an old bookstore she wascurled up, crying." That was the only thing he said.
I nodded.
"Edward, I think that...Lucy can read minds." I said he looked up and stared at me he didn't say anything he seemed deep in thought and then nodded.
"She told me in the car that she didn't like big crowds." He said.
I nodded. "She never has, so I think shes been blocking it out , she doesn't know how to control it."
It was silent for a minute.
"I can't believe I didn't see it , now that think about it it was so obvious," I looked down. "I'm a horrible mother."
"No your not!' Edward said , I looked up and saw him kneeling infront of me.
"Its not your fault ,if Lucy wanted you to know she would of told you your not a bad mother."
I stared at him for a minute before I flung my arms around him, I wasn't sure what else to do , he pulled me close to him and we stood there like that for a few minutes.
"I think that you should explain it to Lucy," I said as I let go of him, "After all I don't know anything about it." I smiled.
He smiled back. But then I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and I knew it was Lucy.
"I'll leave you two alone." I said, I walked out of the living room and into the kitchen , I started making dinner for Lucy to keep myself preoccupied.
Lucy(POV)
I had woken up in my room and it had taken me a minute to remember what had happened , of course I remembered crying my eyes out after being scared of the voices I had heard, I usually blocked them out but today they had been loud, louder then usual. I had never told Mom about it because I was scared.
I got off my bed and walked out into the hallway and down the stairs. I heard Moms voice and then it was silent , I walked into the living room and saw thatÂy dad was the only one in there.
"Hi." I said as I sat down in the chair across from him.
"Hi." He said.
It was silent for a minute.
"What happened today?" He asked me.
I bit my lip, why would he want to know? Then it hit me, mom had told me he could read minds...
"I heard loud voices and they wouldn't go away, no matter how hard I tried to block them out," I continued "And usually they go away."
It was silent for a minute.
"Lucy, your mom thinks that you can...read minds."
I stared at him.
"Read minds?"
He nodded.
"That explains alot." I said.
It was silent for a minute again.
"I'm tired," said as I got up from the chair. "Night."
I quickly walked out of the room and back upstairs to my room.
