Your one and only
Chapter One
I do not own Eric, Lucy, 'Club Dance', 'Pepsi', 'Sprite' or 'Seventh Heaven'.
I do however own 'Kiddy Mountain', Jessica, Justin, Kailee, The doctor, and the judge, so do not copy them.
A/N- this is not associated with 'Shining Star' or any of my other stories for that matter. Just something I thought up. I will have the sequel to 'Shining Star' up A.S.A.P. I just have to think up some stuff for it.
Babs567, Stubbie, LuckyWinner, Heather and ConservativePrincess- Thanks for the reviews and/or ideas. I really hope you like this chapter.
-The cold air hit Lucy hard in the face. It was around 9 at night and she needed to clear her mind that and decide what she was going to do tomorrow. She couldn't just show up and make her decision then and there, she had to have good reasons for staying with or leaving her father. She decided to go to the local hang-out 'Club Dance'. It was the only hangout they had around here besides 'Kiddy Mountain', which was for kids hence the 'Kiddy'. She sat at one of the empty booths trying to clear her head. All she ordered was a Pepsi. Two hours later she left to return home. Although, she wouldn't be doing that tonight, maybe not this week, maybe not this month, maybe not this year, maybe not ever. She went to cross, McAllen St. and Abbey St.'s intersection when a car came flying. Two cars at that matter, the first one, a yellow Volkswagen, went to swerve to miss her but still a piece got her and caused her to go flying off onto the grassy roadside, unconscious.
Eric Camden sat in his living room, it was now 11:15 and he was waiting for Lucy to come home. Little did he know Lucy would not return home, atleast not tonight and maybe not ever. Just then the phone rang, startling Eric out of his half-sleep.
"Hello," mumbled Eric.
"Is Mr. Camden there?" Asked an unfamiliar voice on the other line.
"Speaking," Eric told the person.
"Mr. Camden this is Vanessa from Tyler Memorial Hospital, we have your daughter, um Lucille Camden in our care in Neonatal ICU, she was hit by a drunk driver crossing, McAllen and Abbey St.'s intersection and is currently in coma, her mother is here along with her two siblings but we were not able to reach you." Explained Vanessa.
"I will be right there," Eric said and then he hung up the phone, grabbed his coat, and left for the hospital.
Jessica's POV
I am sitting in this place called 'Tyler Memorial Hospital'. The room is small with two beds, chairs, pale walls, and machines everywhere. Nurses come in and out and check on the people. In the bed by mom, Justin, and me there is a really pretty girl, she is slender with light shoulder length blonde hair, like mommy's, I can't see her eyes but I bet their just like mommy's because she looks just like my mommy. Mommy's crying and Justin is all silent and just staring at the lifeless body. I am just sitting here staring, unsure of what is happening.
Eric's POV
-I rushed down to the room number I had been given for Lucy, 227 A. That number is unforgettable it's the same number as the room Lucy was delivered in, Justin was delivered in 301 B. She was furious with me when she left and I knew whom she would pick, her mother. I scanned the halls, 210 B, 211 B, all the numbers were just a blur in my mind. I looked up to see a sign that read 'Neonatal ICU' and finally found Lucy's room number. I shoved the door open and walked over and sat in an empty chair next to Kailee. –
"Eric," Kailee acknowledged me with a nod.
"Hello," I told her simply turning to my last piece of my life, lying in bed, deathly.
Kailee's POV
-I can't stand Eric. This is his entire fault, if she would've been living with me none of this would have happened. I so badly want Lucy to live with me, her brother, and sister and for Eric to just get visitation rights of the kids, but I know I'll be the one getting visitation rights of Lucy, if that, because I know who she will pick, her father. And then Eric just comes barging in her so I nicely acknowledged him. Somebody needs to talk to Jessica and I think that Eric should, but whatever. I know I can't every time I go to I breakout in tears again. I can't help it I may loose my daughter.
Justin's POV
"Mom?" I asked.
"Ya...Yah Justin?" She whimpered.
"Can me and Jessica go and get something to eat?" I asked her really wanting to explain to her what was going on.
"Sure," She replied and I knew that she knew what I was up to. So Jessica and me left the room and Jessica seemed quite happy to be out off all the tension. We entered the cafeteria, Jes got a PB & J sandwich with her favorite, a sprite to drink, and I just got a pretzel w/ cream cheese and a Pepsi. We ate for a few moments when I finally decided to talk. –
"Jes?" I asked causing her to jump slightly.
"Yah Justin?" She asked once she had regained posture.
"Do you understand what's going on?" I asked her slightly hoping she did, so I wouldn't have to explain, but she didn't deserve to get mixed up in this. Neither did I but I am. I was there when my father left taking my little sister with him. I was there for it all. She shook her head no.
"Well you know that girl lying on the bed?" Justin asked deciding to explain the people to her first.
"Yah," She said remembering the girl.
"That's our sister, Lucy." He explained.
"Oh," She said nodding in as if to say 'I understand' and nodding as an urge to go on.
"And that person that came in?" Justin asked.
"That guy that just said 'hello' and then looked at Lucy?" Asked Jessica.
"Yes, Well that is our dad, Eric." Justin replied then explained.
"Oh go on." Jessica urged.
"Well Eric wants Lucy to live with him, but mommy wants Lucy to live with us. But anyway's the reason why we are here is because a car hit Lucy, and hurt her really badly." Justin told her.
"Oh," Jessica said in awe. The two talked for a few minutes and finished eating before going back to Lucy's room. When they got there Eric was gone.
