Chapter Six: Home
Beauty you are sleeping. Ruthie said the last three words to her poem then looked at her sister. Lucy's eyelids started to flutter and Ruthie gasped.
"Simon look."
Simon who had been staring at the floor looked up.
****meanwhile
The room was shaking and the bottom was starting to shatter. It soon turned into a huge hole, a black bottomless hole. Lucy screamed and fell in.
****meanwhile
The two of them watched in silence both hoping she would wake up. Lucy opened her eyes and blinked at the brightness. She then relized there was a tube in her mouth and freaked. Simon and Ruthie ran over and hugged her. Simon took the tape and respirator off.
"Thanks, how long have I been asleep?"
"About a day," Ruthie answered.
"Oh,"
The phone rang and Lucy gave them a questioning look.
"Mary," Simon replied.
Lucy picked up the phone.
"Hello,"
"Luce you're awake."
"Hi Mary, yep."
"So everyone's probably there."
"Actually just Simon and Ruthie, just a sec. Simon where is everybody?"
"Oh, I'll be right back," Simom runs out the door.
"Where's he going?"
"To get Mom and Dad,"
"Oh, anyway Mary what have you been doing?"
"Not much, but you seem to have done a compleate 180."
"Can we talk about this later?"
"I guess but we're going to talk about it."
Eric, Annie and Simon walked in just then. Ok it was more like Annie ran in followed by Simon and Eric. They hugged her.
"Mary I'll have to call you back K?"
"Okay bye,"
Lucy hung up the phone. She hugged her parents back while Annie wept tears of joy.
"I'm sorry," Lucy said and started crying.
"It's ok," Eric said.
"No it's not, I screwed up."
"It's ok," Annie said.
Lucy stopped protesting and just sobbed in her parents arms.

Later that day after the doctor had checked Lucy over and everyone had arrived. She had checked out and they drove home.
When they got home Lucy headed straight for her room. She didn't want dinner so afterwards Ruthie came up to their room. Lucy was lying on her bed.
"You just slept for a whole day and you're going to sleep."
"After I do something yeah," Lucy said and got up. She walked over to Simon's room and knocked on the door.
"Simon can I come in?"
"Go 'head."
Lucy opens the door. Simon's sitting on his bed surrounded by books and papers.
"I'm doing homework."
"Oh well I just wanted to say thank you."
"For what?"
"For not telling. Even though I got hurt it's better that everyone found out this way. I don't think I would have gotten enough courage to tell them."
"Oh, speaking of that what's going to happen."
"Tommorow I check into the Southern California Rehabilitation Center. I go for a couple weeks then I get relesed but I have to come back for classes and groups."
"Oh, I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too."
They hug and Lucy turns to leave.
"I love you Luce."
"I love you too."
