Brian had still not arrived, and he promised to show up during the upcoming event. He was to walk her through the aisles with pride perhaps, he might be stucked with something far better than this. Miss Lucy stared at the mirror smiling at her image when she saw a shadow behind her, she turns swiftly to see who it could be, but there was no one. She mused and then stood up to see if Julie was ready. Julie tiptoed behind her mother and tickled her by the rib.
“Julie?” She called, hugging her.
“Mom, you look beautiful!” She complements and miss Lucy blushed.
“You look more beautiful, dear!” She responded and they gave themselves a high five.
“Mom, will hero show up?” She asked, as miss Lucy nodded. She got a text message from Brian that he was on his way and would join them in the party.
“Yes!” Julie affirmed happily, seeing Brian was just her aim of following miss Lucy to the party.
“I love you mom” Julie said with a broad smile and something fell off, it was a portrait having Julie's picture in it. They both shrugged their shoulder and walked away, hoping that when they return, miss Lucy would clean the mess.
A limousine parked outside their building for them to get in, and the two female engaged themselves in chat for the day. Everyone was gathered from different parts of the country as it was more like a celebrity hang out and Georgina had organized it. The host introduced important personnel, miss Lucy gazed at the building, suddenly scared to get in. Was she making a mistake to have come over her? Georgina smirked at miss Lucy from the balcony upstairs and then paced back inside. Julie held miss Lucy's wrist and smiled.
“We're in this together! Let's shock them” she encouraged as miss Lucy faked a smile. All she wanted to see was Brian calling out to her and saying, “we've got this”. Miss Lucy paced into the hall as all cameras diverted to her, it was certain the headlines had something for tonight and the topic was going to be “the awakening ghost of miss Lucy!”. There was a gigantic uproar as everyone stood up, well, those haters in the crowd, it was their losing game but for Georgina, it was the best winning game. She pretended as though she was surprised too from learning that miss Lucy still breathes. Miss Lucy looked timid standing on the red carpets, she had a friendly smile that shocked everyone. From those who once were close to her, she always wore a killer and hot looks on and her eyes were daring, but it all seemed different now. Holding a child in her hand was quite another surprise because she always comes alone, perhaps where she was had proven a great change in her life. Georgina walked up to her giving her a tight hug but miss Lucy didn't shove her away rather, she whispered;
“How does it feel seeing me alive?”
Gorgenia scoffed and patted her shoulder while replying
“At least, I've got someone to fight with” she beckoned, terminating the kind gesture. Georgina wasn't the only one who expressed kindness towards her, but we'll wishers too as it was already streaming on the internet that miss Lucy was alive, although, there had been rumors that she was seen in Mexico buy there was no evidence backing it up. Julie let go of her mother on sighting Brian from behind,, and she ran towards him. He was walking away to a dark side that only his shadow reflected on the wall.
“Hero!” She called, but he didn't look back to see who it was, neither could she get a hold of him because of the number of persons that kept walking in between them and saying hi to Julie. She lost him which got her angry and quickly, she ran towards miss Lucy who was now crowded. Presently, Julie can't speak with her because she had to attend to the media.
“We could see a difference in you, could you tell us the secret?”.
It seems that was the only question Julie grabbed because her mother was smiling beautifully and said;
“Someone once says, live to be known as a good person because all bad would be judged someday… I must say, I learned a lot while away that I wouldn't forget that person in a lifetime”.
Julie nodded satisfied by her reply because she was referring to Brian and anything about him, count Julie in.
“About the child, who is she your adopted daughter?”.
Miss Lucy glanced at Julie sadly, who faked a smile.
“She's my pride…my first love…my greatest joy was never dumping her…” she professed as tears flowed from Julie's eyes as miss Lucy praised her, and it was the best thing ever, she wished this day wasn't going to pass by.
The poor child waited eagerly to tell her mother Brian was already at the party, but why wasn't he coming to meet her? The child gaze fell on Georgina, who quickly ran outside the building. Just like she had her doubts about this woman, and she decided to follow her, besides, waiting for miss Lucy was going to take forever now. Georgina glanced to and fro, then handed a huge amount of money to three men who had bags on them.
“It's going to be activated 30 minutes time from now” the former whispered, and she sighed with relieve.
“She must be alive” Georgina beckoned and then suddenly turned her face at a Julie who was running back inside.
“Mom!” She yelled, running towards her and miss Lucy excused herself.
“Mom, the actress Georgina's going to explode this place, we need to get everyone out." She rapped and just then Georgina appeared opposite these two, and smirked at Julie. Miss Lucy believed what she said, and quickly she pushed Georgina to the ground, which caused chaos. She dragged her outside the building as the media got it all captured, but miss Lucy was soughting a way to bring out everyone outside, and it was working.
