Chapter Eight: through the looking glass

Nicholas's POV...

Lucy...
That was Lucy, it had to be. But why was she so pale and what happened to her hair.
My hand gripped the handle of the door with enough force to leave an imprint of my fingers. This girl couldn't be Lucy.
Not my Lucy she would never do this to herself, not to mention she relies on her glasses to see.
It was her eyes that held me frozen to the spot, even through the curtain of rain i could see the spark of a dim fire igniting behind those deadly familiar eyes.
But there was something else there buried deep, A gut wrenching sadness warring with the intense blaze.

Her face stayed blank as she vanished into the rain, leaving me as haunted as as her stare, that wasn't Lucy,
No
Definitely not that had to be Quinn's friend Cassidy.
Right?
For my sake i seriously hoped so.

But if this wasn't Lucy why was my heart screaming at me to either run after this girl or curl up into a ball close my eyes and stay there.
