How It All Began: Chapter 17

 Lucy was currently in her room spring cleaning EVERYTHING. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get Blake out of her mind. It just wasn't fair! Why couldn't she and Blake be together? It didn't make any sense! What was so bad about them loving each other? Did it really make that much of a difference from anyone else's love? She sighed. She knew her mind was going crazy again, but she couldn't help it. Then, she heard the front door open. "Ria! Is that you?"
 "Yeah, Mom!"
 She got up to go see why on Light City her daughter was doing home instead of at school. When she came down the stairs, she saw Adrienne with her, and it looked as if she had been crying. All thoughts of interrogating her daughter flew from her mind,"Adrienne, are you alright?"
 She smiled and sniffed a little,"Yeah, I'm OK."
 Lucy wanted to go to her and hug her to make her feel better like she had always done with Ria, but she wasn't sure if she should. What if she got caught? What would that mean for the three of them? And Blake at his home? No. I don't give a poop! She's my daughter no matter whether she grew up without me or not. She's MY Adrienne, and I'm going to treat her like my daughter! And a mother should. She ran down the last three steps and quickly embraced her. Adrienne slightly tensed up, but it wasn't until Lucy had hugged her that she realized how much she had always dreamed of a mother, and how much she had wanted a mother to hug when she was little. She threw her arms around her and couldn't help but cry a little. She didn't understand, she had hardly ever cried when she was little, or when she got a bit older. It wasn't exactly in her nature to just start crying, yet she had done so much of it lately.
