A/N: I'm back, I've had a major writer's block, but none the less I am back! I am sorry, it took me so long to update, and then I heard the song "Over My Head" by The Fray, and I was inspired.
Disclaimer- I don't own 7th Heaven and I never will, but if I did I would bring it back!
Summery- Lucy makes her decision on whether or not to marry Kevin.
Previous Chapter
...then Kevin got up out of his seat, and knelt down in front of Lucy. Lucy covered her mouth knowing what Kevin was doing.
"Lucy, I know our time together has been short and very complicated, but I know in my heart that we are meant to be together, I love you Lucy Camden. So knowing that, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" He held out the gorgeous princess cut diamond ring "Please."
"Kevin, I..."
Chapter 11 - I'm In Over My Head
Lucy held her breath for a minute. "Yes," she finally breathed.
"You will?"
"Yes." The waiter brought their dessert. They ate it, then Kevin asked for the check and paid the bill. Kevin and Lucy left and went back to Kevin's house. At around midnight, Lucy left Kevin's and went back to her apartment. She looked at the clock, when she got home, and saw that it was 12:15 a.m. Lucy decided to call her parents, since it was a 3 hour time difference.
"Hello?" asked Annie.
"Mom, it's Lucy"
"Hey Luce, is everything alright?"
"Yeah mom, everything is good. I was just calling to tell you Kevin asked me to marry him."
"What did you say?"
"I said yes."
"Are you happy?" asked Annie.
"I think so, but I'm a little scared."
"It will all be fine. Have you set a date yet? And where is the wedding going to be held"
"Next summer, and I'm not sure yet. You and dad live in Glenoak, but Kevin and his parents and Family live up here."
"I see, so you don't know yet."
"Nope, I have to go mom, it's really late. Tell dad that I love him, and also tell him my news for me. I love you!"
"I love you too. Night Luce."
"Night Mom." With that they hung up. Lucy went to bed feeling a little better, but deep down she wondered if accepting Kevin's proposal was right.
6:00 a.m.
Beep, beep, beep, went Lucy alarm. Lucy turned off her alarm and went to take a shower. Lucy got out of the shower, picked out a black shirt, a black camisole, and a white blazer, she pulled out a pair of black and white pumps. Then she did her make-up. Luc grabbed a cup of coffee on her way out the door.
Lucy arrived to work at about 7: 30. Lucy thought everyone seemed to be looking at her. And they were. They were looking at her ring that wasn't there yesterday. "Ms. Camden" someone yelled at her. Lucy turned around and saw that it was Kevin's dad Hank. "Mr. Kinkirk."
"Please call me Hank, especially after what happened last night. Congratulations. Kevin told me this morning"
"Thanks." Mrs. Doily was looking at her.
"What happened last night?" Mrs. Doily asked.
"Kevin asked Lucy to marry him." Hank told her. Lucy smiled.
"Well Mr. Kinkirk, How is Ms. Camden going to be able to work here?"
"What do you mean?" asked Hank. Lucy smile now turned into a frown. She was wondering what Doily was up to.
"Well sir, according to office policies, coworkers are not allowed to have a relationship. So therefor either you son or Ms. Camden is going to have to leave." Lucy knew she was right, and that was why Lucy didn't feel right. Lucy knew the rules and so did Kevin, but they chose to ignore then. Lucy now again had to choose between work and love.
"What's going on out here?" asked Kevin coming into the room, they were having their little chit-chat in.
"Kevin, Mrs. Doily was just informing us of the no dating coworkers policy." Hank told him.
"Oh."
"So what's it going to be Mr. Kinkirk? Fire your son or fire Ms. Camden?" asked Doily.
"I.." Hank began.
"Wait." Lucy interrupted. "This is all my fault, not Kevin's I will go."
"No you won't." said Kevin, "I told you, you wouldn't have to leave if anything happened, so technically it's my fault." Lucy slipped the ring off of her finger. "What are you doing, Luce?"
"I need some time" Lucy started.
"You can't do this." Kevin said.
"I need some time," Lucy said again. "I need to think about what I am doing, and I am not going to let you get fired, because this is all you ever talk about. Give me a few days" Lucy said looking around. "All of you. I am going to leave the city for a few days, then I will be back and I will tell you, all of you my decision."
"Luce, don't do this, please..." Kevin started.
" I have to for me, but I promise I will tell you all when I get back. I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry for," Kevin told her, " It's me who should be sorry for putting you in a situation like this. Be safe."
"I will," Lucy told Kevin, "Bye."
Lucy went home and packed a couple outfits and she called the airlines. She got a one way ticket to Glenoak. She figured she would just get a ticket to come back when she was ready. Lucy finally boarded her plane. When they were in the air and it was ok for electronics, Lucy pulled out her Ipod and turned on the song "Over My Head (Cable Car)" by The Fray on.
I
never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That
everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I
needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming
down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than
stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it
clears
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my
head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your
mind
She's on your mind
Let's rearrange
I wish you were
a stranger I could disengage
Say that we agree and then never
change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's
disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the
argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes
between
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my
head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your
mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my
head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's
on your mindShe's on your mind
And suddenly I become a part of
your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you
and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In
the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I
won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves
Everyone knows
I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in
overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone
knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds
left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Three hours later, the plane landed in Glenoak. Lucy grabbed her bags and went to find a cab. Lucy managed to get a cab. Twenty minutes later, the cab pulled up in front of the Camden house. Lucy paid the driver and went up to the front porch. She knocked on the front door. Simon opened the door. "Lucy!" He exclaimed.. "What are you doing home?" He then noticed that there wasn't a ring on Lucy's finger. "Oh, never mind. Come in. Mom, Dad, Lucy's home." Annie came running into the room, "Lucy" she said. "What are you doing home?" Annie then looked at her left hand. "Oh. Wanna tell me what happened?"
"Yeah," Lucy told her. Annie led Lucy to the kitchen, where Eric sat. Annie got them all a cup of coffee. Lucy told them the whole story, and why she was here. " You see, I don't know, I feel like all of the sudden I'm in over my head. And I don't know what to do."
"What is your heart telling you Luce?" asked Eric.
"It's telling me, my job is more important that love, but what does that have to do with anything, dad?"
"It has to do with everything."
"Kevin and I have tried to date before, but he asked me to marry him and I want to, but I can't. Dad, Mom, I don't wanna quit work for love, and I don't want to make Kevin give up what he loves doing."
"Kevin has a daughter, right?" asked Eric.
"Yeah, but what does she have to do with anything?"
"What if you give up work until you all are married and stay home with his daughter. Then you can go back to work at Kevin's firm. Since you all will be married and your name will be on the building and in the book I bet it never said anything about a wife working." Eric told her.
"I never thought of that."
Lucy left Glenoak, three days later. She got into New York at 9:00 a.m. Lucy decided to go to work and tell them all her decision. When she got to the office, she found out everyone was in the staff meeting. Lucy walked down the hall and opened the door. Everybody turned to look when the door opened. "Hi, sorry I am late." Lucy told them. "Someone, please get her a chair," Hank said. "Thank you," said Lucy. Near the end of the meeting Lucy stood up from her chair. "I have an announcement," she said. "I am going to go ahead and tell you all, but I will have a letter on you desk too Hank, don't worry. But, umm.., I have decided to resign from my position here."
"You what?" said Kevin.
"Kevin, we can talk about this later. Anyways, I thought it would be nice, if I just told all of you at once."
"Lucy, you don't have to do this, we can find another way." Hank told her.
"I already found another way. So if you all don't mind, I am going to go. Kevin, would you mind coming with me?"
"No, I wouldn't." When they got out of the conference room, Lucy pulled Kevin into her office, and kissed him.
"Yes, Kevin, I am still going to marry you, and I would like my ring back."
"You can have it back." They kissed. "So what is the way you figured out?" Lucy told him her plan, and he liked it.
A/N- I hope you all like that chapter. I was also wonder if you all would please review because the last chapter only got 2 reviews and I really didn't know if you all liked it or not, so if you all could please review, I would love it. I love to read your all's input, and it only takes a minute to review, not even that much time if you have high speed internet!
Thanks,
Brittany
