Who: Lucy Trumper and Open to complex people Where: The music room When: Tonight Rating: Probably low Status: Incomplete; Open
Normally, Lucy thrived on having people around. She generally loved people in general, whether it was meeting someone new, spending time with Nadiya and her family, or curling up and watching her own family just do stuff. Right now, though, she kinda wanted to be alone. Waiting until her parents and David went to bed, Lucy left a note on the fridge that she was going down to the music room, then headed down. When she stepped in and turned on the lights, she blinked at the person in the mirror who faced her. It didn't really look like her, but...after a few minutes, Lucy just shrugged. She had washed the coloring out of her hair, leaving it at it's normal dark shade, and wore a simple pair of jeans and a gray sweatshirt. None of it was her usual style, but she hadn't really felt like herself ever since she had caused Nadiya to get hurt.
Slowly walking over to the piano, Lucy sat on the bench and ran her hands along the cover for a moment, then pushed it up to reveal the keys. For several minutes, she slowly played a couple of random songs, mostly just her own mixed kinds. Finally, her hands started to pick out an old song (to her - though she was pretty sure the guy was old even now, in 2012), playing slowly. After a minute, she began to sing along with her playing, head lowering and eyes closing.
"Hello again, hello. Just called to say hello. I couldn't sleep at all tonight....and I know it's late...but I couldn't wait. Hello, my friend, hello. Just called to let you know: I think about you ev'ry night....when I'm here alone...and you're there at home, hello." Leaning forward a little, her voice grew strong with her own emotions as a few tears slipped out of her eyes during the next verse.
"Maybe it's been crazy....And maybe I'm to blame. But I put my heart above my head. We've been through it all, and you loved me just the same...and when you're not there....I just need to hear: Hello, my friend, hello. It's good to need you so. It's good to love you like I do. And to feel this way, when I hear you say, hello."
