Swing Low

[lucy nicole hollows]

Beds are nice. There safe, and comfortable. They like to swallow you up with blankets and sooth you with pillows, they love to take care of you and just let you lay in them. They never tell you to leave, or to stop mopping around, they comfort you and make all of the bad things go away as they rock you to sleep. Even once you wake up, they hold you down with blankets, and the idea that you might slip back into an unconscious state for just a little bit longer, most people would fight with that when there was only a few weeks of summer left until summer started. Lucy didn't though, she laid in her large princess bed, a pillow top matress with a feather top comforter, a dozen pillows all of different colors and shapes, while a quilt was laying ontop of her swallowing her up, she didn't feel like going and seeing the world today. No not today, her radio buzzed in the background, "Today marks two months since Abigail Hollows went missing, as always," "Oh Miss Lucy. You shouldn't be listening to that," her house keeper came into her room and turned off her radio while Lucy closed her eyes, it'd been two months since her sister has vanished, and no one knew anything about what had happened, it laid heavy on her heart.

"Come on get up, your father demands you go into town today," the blanket was pulled off of her, and she was helped up, "Come on, a little sun will be good for you," pinched her cheeks, Lucy faked a smile, "Alright I'll go into town," she said with a sigh, hanging around this house wasn't making anything better. The next hour and a half passed in a blur, trying on clothes, and then discarding them. She'd lost weight in these two months, and no all of her clothes were hanging off of her in an unflattering way. Finally she just got dressed, and went out the door, she didn't want to drive even though she could, she thought a walk would be good.

It wasn't until around seven that she made her way to the Park. It was a small little local park for the younger kids in the city, but it was cute. It was going to be dark soon, and for the first time in two months, Lucy didn't want to be in her house, or in her bed, she wanted to be at the park something told her as she sat down in the chair of a swing she smirked, this. Right here this was where she wanted to be, she didn't know why but she wanted to be here, alone on this swing watching the sunset.

for once, things seemed to be going alright for siena since the disappearance of abby. she was going out, and talking to people again. she'd cleared matters up with damien, talked to tiffant, and even started dating jack. still, there was a large hole in her heart and she wanted it to be filled. she wanted know what happened. no one knew anything though. it was like abby had just been erased by the hand of god. not knowing was the worst thing about any of this. not knowing if she was alive or dead or in pain, or if she just ran away.

lucy decided to go for a walk in the park. she always liked it there. abby and her had craved their names into a couple trees. seeing them made siena smile, but made her heart weep and all too familiar tune. as she walked along she saw a girl swinging on the swings, a familiar girl. it was lucy. she hadn't seen her since the press conference about abby, and even that was only on tv. siena had always liked lucy, in a way she reminded her a lot of herself.

"hey lu," siena said softly as she approached the girl. siena was only a year ahead of lucy, but they'd never been really close. she was abby's little sister so if anyone did anything to, of course, abby's group of friends quickly stepped in, but none had really take

n the time to get to know her.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Lucy laid her feet down on the ground, it was still warm from the sun it'd seen today, but she knew it would soon be cold. Still she didn't mind the feeling, as she pushed herself back, and moved back a little bit, and then came back forward, she dragged her feet on the ground, not feeling up to really kicking them and doing a full on swing, still the swings felt good. They felt like a happiness, an old friend from an old memory of her and Abby, when her sister had pushed her on the swings, and Lucy had gone so high she'd thought she would fly off and fly into the sky, back when she was smaller and things were good.

Lucy was sitting in her own little world while she was on the swing, until she looked up and saw someone she knew. Siena, she thought when she looked at the girl, it seemed like an entire lifetime ago she'd known Siena or that she'd seen the girl. She'd been one of Abby's best friends, a main person that Lucy had been avoiding for two months. She bit her lip looking down at her bare feet, her shoes weren't too far away from her just next to the swing, "Hey S." she said in a softer voice, she'd always been shy around Abby's friends, because well they were Abigail's friends and Lucy was just the little sister.

She'd always been okay with living in Abby's shadow, living threw her sister, threw the stories her sister told her. "Long time no see," she said looking up at Siena. It was harder to look her in the eyes than she'd thought it would be.

Siena sat on the swing next to Lucy, and started swinging a little. She hadn't been to the park in quite sometime. She hadn't really been anywhere, except for the hospital when Jack got hit by the car. That was a giant mess, but something good came out of it at least.

It was hard being near Lucy; she reminded Siena so much of Abby. Still, the girl was probably hurting more than anyone. She was the one that had lost a sister. You can't even get over that. Even if they weren't close, Siena was determined to be there for Lucy.

"How have you been holding up?" Siena asked softly, looking at the young girl. She looked so sad, and it broke Siena's heart. She never did do sad very well. She preferred happy and joyful over everything.

Lucy watched as Siena sat down in the swing next to her, she kicked her legs again, and let herself be rocked back and forth again, it was comforting to her. Like a memory rocking her to sleep, it put her at a calm to be doing something she was so comfortable with, without feeling the sting of Abby there. She sighed, not saying anything for a while, she just looked down at her feet.

"I've been better," she said if she hadn't been on the swing she would have pulled her knees to her, instead she kicked them. The swing set groaned once or twice but she didn't seem to notice it. "Jesse's coming in town," she said perking up a little bit. She didn't get to see her brother often, and he'd been closer with her sister than with her, but still it would be nice to see him after everything that had happened.

"And there still looking for Abby, so there gonna find her...I mean she can't just be missing forever," she said it so optomistically like she hadn't given up hope. She wasn't sure that she had given up, she still wanted to think Abby was somewhere happy that she'd be back from Paris or somewhere anyday with more stories to tell her. Lucy looked at the other girl, "How are you?" she hadn't seen the other girl in a long time. "No one comes by anymore," when Abby had first gone missing the cops had swarmed her house and so had well wishers, some of the girls came over nearly everyday to check if anything had changed to try and be in the house to find the bits of Abby in the house, but after two months that had stopped and now the house was more empty than it'd ever been.
