Angels_Chapter 7

Mary, who had been in the back yard talking on her cell phone to
Carlos, heard Lucy's car pull up, and quickly said goodbye to Carlos,
and ran up to the garage apartment. For a moment Mary just stood there
watching Lucy cry. Slowly she walked over to the bed and sat down next
to Lucy.

"Luce? Are you okay?"

Lucy rolled over to face Mary. "no."

"what happened?"

"I told him, and then he left."

"he left?"

"he was mad that I told you first, and then he just left, and I don't
think he's ever coming back." Lucy's voice trailed off as she continued
to cry.

Mary pulled her into a hug, "Luce, he's been out looking for you all
night."

Lucy pulled away from Mary, "what?"

"I wasn't here, but mom said he ran into the kitchen, screaming about
not being able to find you." Mary knew that she was exaggerating a
little, but she was willing to do anything to make Lucy feel better.

Lucy smiled weakly wiping away her tears, "really?"

Mary nodded, then pulled Lucy into a hug, "Luce, he loves you."

"then why'd he leave?"

"maybe he was just scared." The instant the words left Mary's mouth,
she knew she had said the wrong thing. Lucy stared at her for a minute,
then burst into tears again. Mary pulled Lucy close to her, "Luce, I
know your scared too, but you'll get through this. Did you take the
test yet? Maybe your not even pregnant."

Lucy looked up at Mary, "not yet, but If I'm not then what's wrong with
me?"

"I don't know, but maybe it's something else. Do you want to take the
test now?"

Lucy shook her head, "no. I want to do it with Kevin. If he ever comes
back."

"Luce, he loves you. I'm sure he'll come back. Do you want me to call
him?"

"no!" Lucy said quickly, "and I don't really feel like talking about
this anymore."

Mary got the hint, and hugged Lucy once more than walked down the
stairs, as she closed the door, she saw Kevin pulling up. Seeing Mary
leaving the apartment and Lucy's car, Kevin quickly ran up to Mary,

"is she here? Is she okay?"

Mary nodded, then before she knew it she was screaming at Kevin, "WHAT
THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW UPSET SHE IS? HOW
COULD YOU DO THAT TO HER?"

Kevin looked down at his feet, then back up at Mary, "I was just so
hurt, and scared."

"YOU WERE SCARED? WHAT ABOUT HER? SHE'S THE ONE THAT'S PREGNANT! SHE'S
THE ONE THAT THOUGHT HER HUSBAND WAS NEVER COMING BACK! SHE'S THE ONE
THAT'S."

Mary stopped when Lucy opened the door behind her
