Lucy

We would play in my room, we would listen to music together, and then we'd have sleepovers. Lauren seemed to be my age. She had short brown hair, had slight freckling, vaguely, and green eyes. She was very funny. She was really funny. And she was very... silly and allowed me, I was kind of a serious kid in some ways. And so I think having her to play with allowed me to be silly.

And my siblings are so much older than me that I think I would have felt very alone if I hadn't had her. She reassured me. She validated me. Being the daughter of my mom was very invalidating to my existence at times. And so I felt like my existence was enough because of Lauren. She was just my constant companion. I remember it was like I was processing life with her.

So one day when I was around four, I was doing the typical thing that I would do with her, which I was riding my bike and we were outside and it was a beautiful day. I was having a great time and she asked me to do her a favor. And that was not typical. Normally, it was just me and Lauren having fun and playing games. And I was like, a favor? What do you want me to do?

And she was like, it's really important. I need you to tell Jennifer that it's not her fault. And I was really confused by this. And also my immediate response was not only did I not want to stop what I was doing, but I also did not want to bother my older sister. Again, Jennifer is 13 years older than me. So she's like 17. She doesn't want her little sister going and bothering her.

And so I was like, no, I'm good. And she goes, no. Lucy, this is really important. She was really, really insistent. And I don't remember her ever being that insistent about something before. So I relented pretty quickly because again, she was my best friend. So I was like, okay, okay. So yeah, I put down my bike, which I'm sure still had training wheels on it.

So I don't even know that I put it down or that I got off my bike. And I walk inside the garage, through the garage door, and my sister, Jennifer, lived in the room above the garage. So I go to go towards her and then she's actually sitting at the top of the steps. I can still see her and she's tying up her tennis shoes. Yeah.

So Lauren is, you know, right there being like, still telling me like, it's really important. And I'm like, okay, okay. I'm doing it. And so I see Jennifer at the top of the stairs and I said, Jennifer. And of course she doesn't even look up because I'm her little sister. So I say her name again. And she, without even looking up, she goes, what Lucy?
