REBECCAS good 500 STORY

­“Ping!” went the Brown Sugar Café bell and Lucy ran to take an order. Lucy was an ordinary teenager. She had ocean sky eyes, silk blond hair and shiny red lips.

The café phone rang. It was for Lucy. She took hold of the phone and listened to a man from the hospital, “Quick! Your dad has been hurt. Come now!” Lucy dropped the phone and ran out of the café. Throwing off her apron, she jumped on her bike and sped away to the hospital.

When Lucy got there, one of the receptionists told her what was wrong with her dad. He had been cliff climbing and fell and hit his head. Now he was in a coma. As soon as Lucy heard, she couldn’t breathe. It was like she was winded. What would she do? What could she do? She walked out and no-one really knew why. Then Lucy just ran and didn’t stop.

Lucy ran over a field and fell over crying. Then she heard a rustle. A dog jumped out at her. It was a stray dog with white and brown fur. She was happier now she had someone with her. She said she would call him Jay and as Lucy got up to walk, Jay walked beside her, until they reached a pond. The pond was misty and infested with bugs. It was obviously old. The wind brushing against her, she felt that she could just be swept off with the wind. Jay followed Lucy back to the café. Jay settled down in a corner eating some food Lucy found for him. Everyone was wondering about what had happened.

A few hours had passed and a strange lady came in and sat at a table next to the window. She remained there for the afternoon, staring out of the window or at Lucy. As soon as the lady left, there was a little white box with red ribbon on the table. Lucy went to clear the table. She opened it and inside was a flower. It seemed there was spilled sugar on the table. Lucy couldn’t quite figure out the shape that had been drawn in the sugar so cleared it up. This happened every day for the rest of the week until Lucy went up to the strange lady and asked why she left the strange gifts. She said that Lucy and Jay should meet her at the pond that night.  They went and met the lady there. The lady said, “This might sound strange but I am your guardian angel, but you can’t tell anyone!” Lucy replied, “Why are you here?” The lady explained that everyone has a guardian angel and she was there to help Lucy, leaving gifts and messages in the sugar.

“Go back to the hospital as your dad will be fine.” Lucy didn’t believe this. When she turned to go, Jay stayed with the lady. When Lucy arrived at the hospital reception, she found out that it was true.
