Angels_Chapter 5

"what do you know?" Annie asked, knowing they knew something

"umm. Nothing" Mary said quickly.

"fine then, your father and I are going to bed"

Lucy griped her steering wheel as tears continued to roll down her
cheeks. She didn't know where she was going, all she knew was that she
needed to talk to someone. Someone who was not related to her. Absent
mindedly Lucy stopped the car. She looked around, she was in someone's
driveway. After a minute it occurred to her where she was.

"Mike Peirce's house? How did I end up here" Lucy said aloud, mystified
that she had ended up here.

Knowing that she needed to talk to someone Lucy wiped away her tears,
got out of the car and walked up to the doorstep and rang the bell.

Kevin drove through the streets of Glenoak, where was Lucy? He had
already been to the church, walked around the promenade, gone to all of
Lucy's favorite restaurants and checked every movie theater in town.
Panic over took Kevin as he quickly dialed a familiar number on his
cell phone.

Mrs. Pierce cautiously opened her front door, who would be calling this
late at night.

Mrs. Pierce stared at the small teary-eyed woman on her doorstep, "um
can I help you?"

"Mrs. Pierce?"

"yes. Who are you?"

"I'm Lucy Camden. Do you remember me?"

"LUCY!" Mrs. Pierce shrieked pulling Lucy into a tight hug, and
escorting her into the house.

After a moment Mrs. Pierce released Lucy, "are you okay dear?"

Lucy sniffled, "no." before she knew what was happening she had told
Mrs. Pierce the whole story.

Mrs. Pierce pulled her into a tight hug, "I'm sure everything will work
out Lucy."

Lucy shook her head, "what if he never comes back?"

"I'm sure he will, he loves you."

"how do you know?"

"because my husband did the same thing, when I told him I was pregnant
with Mike."

Lucy looked up at her in surprise, "really?"

Mrs. Pierce nodded, "I found out a month after we got married and I was
so scared of what he would do, I told my whole family before I told
him. When I finally told him, he was so mad he just left."

"when did he come back?"

"a couple of days later."

"was he mad at you?"

"no. we talked and he told me that he wasn't angry, just hurt, that I
didn't trust him to be supportive."

"do you think that's how Kevin feels?"

Lucy was crying again.

Mrs. Pierce pulled her into a tight hug, "I'm sure it is."

Lucy couldn't help but fear that Kevin was never coming back, as she
cried into Mrs. Pierce's shoulder.
