What if Daisy didn't save Lee and Lucy from Rachel at the end? This is going to be in a couple of parts because I began writing it and realised that it would be better posting it in a couple of parts so here's the first one. I'll have the next one up as soon as I finish writing it. I hope you like it and leave a review! xx
"This isn't how you treat the people you love, Lee. I'm not your little plaything. You can't just decide you want to have a relationship with me and then whenever you feel like it just knock the whole thing on the head!" Rachel shouted patronizingly as she edged closer to Lee and Lucy with the knife. They had to find a way out of this and quick otherwise it would end in disaster. Rachel stepped forward as Lee and Lucy stepped backwards, it carried on like this until their backs hit the cool bathroom wall. Lee quickly stood in front of a terrified Lucy, shielding her.
"C'mon Rachel. You don't want to do anything you'll regret," Lee tried reasoning with her as the knife was now pointed right in front of his face.
"But I won't regret this," she answered back as she squared up to him. Lee watched the end of the knife, his eyes crossing at the same time. Lee had to get him and Lucy out of this situation, he racked his brains for an idea as Rachel carried on explaining why she wouldn't regret it. Lee could feel Lucy shaking slightly behind him, instinctively he searched for her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze as he held it, offering her and him comfort. Lucy placed her forehead to rest on Lee's shoulders as silent tears fell down her cheeks, her hand gripping his tightly as he ran the pad of his thumb over her knuckles.
"Rachel, let's talk about this sensibly," he tried again as he began to get increasingly worried that one of them in the room would get killed.
"Why should I? We talked in the restaurant, remember?" She questioned back in that sickly sweet tone of voice which she had adopted, the one that scared the life out of Lee.
"We should talk about it because...because I didn't mean what I said in the restaurant. I...I just thought that if I made you jealous it would show how much you liked me," he thought at the top of his head, squeezing Lucy's hand again to reassure her that this was all a part of his plan and that he didn't mean any of it, he left go as he began walking forward so he met Rachel, "c'mon let's talk out of the bathroom," Lee said as he placed his hand carefully on her arm. Rachel looked down at the hand which was touching her as Lee quickly removed it, seeing the evil glare in her eyes.
Lee glanced at Lucy who was still near the wall, mascara running like lakes down her cheeks and he knew he had to do it for her. Whether he got hurt or not. Staying calm Lee gestured towards the door hoping Rachel would take the hint and leave the bathroom. He just had to get Rachel out of the bathroom, he didn't care if she would still be in the flat he just had to make sure they were safe in there.
"Where are we going to talk, then?" Rachel asked as Lee once again pointed towards the door.
"I'll take you out again and we'll talk on our fourth date," Lee hoped this bribe would win Rachel, which it did as she exited the bathroom, the knife still in her hands. As soon as Rachel was out of the door and in the hallway Lee slammed the door shut and locked it and leant against it as he began to breathe heavily. God, he was glad Lucy insisted on more than one lock on the bathroom door, slowly he reached over to lock the other two locks on the door. Rachel was now banging heavily on the bathroom door as Lee,grabbed the chair that was in the corner of the bathroom and barricaded the door with it.
Once he had made sure that there was no way Rachel could get in Lee crossed the room to Lucy who was still stood the other side of the bathroom. The banging on the door still continued as Rachel carried on shouting threats and Lee's name, loudly through it. Hopefully the noise would attract one of the neighbours to come and help but that was highly unlikely.
"Are you ok?" Lee asked as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. Lifting her head to face Lee she smiled slightly at him.
"I'll be fine," she reassured, her voice hoarse from crying as Lee nodded his head. Lucy walked away from him and made her way over to the sink, grabbing some tissue and started to removed her smudged eye make-up.
"I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL I GET REVENGE!" Rachel screamed through the door as Lee rolled his eyes, god that woman was mental ! Hearing a loud thump against the door they presumed that Rachel had gone and sat against it.
"It doesn't look like we'll be leaving here for a while," Lee sighed as he sat down, his back leaning against the bath.
"No it doesn't, but it's better than getting stabbed," Lucy half laughed as she sat down next to him, bringing her knees up to rest against her chest as she wrapped her arms securely around them, offering a small amount of comfort for herself.
"Ye it is. At least we've got water in here and the toilet and the shower," he said suddenly realising that he had a secret stash hidden in the bathroom. Getting up off of his feet he made his way over to the towel cupboard as he rummaged through it, Lucy not retreating her curious gaze away from him for the time. Soon Lee turned around holding a bottle of whiskey, a couple of beer cans and a carrier bag full of junk food. Lucy raised her eyebrows at him as he went back and sat next to her.
"Why on earth have you got all of this hidden in the bathroom?" Lucy asked as she rummaged through the carrier bags, bringing out packets of crisps and chocolate bars.
"It's for me to relax when I have a bath," he explained shrugging his shoulders as Lucy shook her head. She made a grab for one of the beer cans and downed half of it straight away," there's a whole case in there," Lee said pointing at the cupboard.
"Good I'm going to need it," Lucy smiled as she finished the first can. The alcohol given her some relief for the time being.
"I am really sorry, Lucy," Lee apologised as he looked her in the eyes. Lucy could spot the guilt and sincerity in them as she nodded her head.
"I know," she stated as she kissed him on the cheek to show that she didn't mind. Turning back she sighed before letting her head rest against the bath and breathed in deeply before exhaling. Lee couldn't believe that a woman could be that possessive and just not mentally right. At all. Yes, technically it was his fault. Yes, he regretted trying to make Lucy jealous because look how that worked out and yes, he should have learnt by now never to take advice off Daisy but he came to the conclusion that he would now try to do anything to be with Lucy.
First it was just lust but over the years that they have lived together he's come to the conclusion that he is completely and utterly head over heels in love with her. Why else would he still be trying to be with her after five years?Every other girl he has tried to impress he had just given up after a couple of weeks but with Lucy it was different. No matter what she would ask of him he would do without hesitation, he would go to the ends of the earth for her if he had to. Of course trying to impress her has never been easy because of Tim. He's always been overprotective of her and making sure Lee never laid a finger on her. Lee's also realised that ever since Tim has been away him and Lucy have grown closer as friends. Smiling at that thought he turned to face her as her eyes were still closed against the bath.
"Stop staring at me," Lucy said without even opening an eyelid. Lee looked shocked but then noticed the slight smirk that was gracing her lips.
"I was not," he protested, knowing he wasn't going to get anywhere.
"Yes you were," Lucy persisted as she opened her eyes and turned to face him as he bore a smile on his lips.
"Fine. I was. Anyway, we're going to have to think of a way on how to get out of here," he changed the subject rather quickly before Lucy had the chance to even question about why he was staring at her. One that he wouldn't have the guts to answer truthfully.
"I have no idea. Maybe we should just sit it out and wait until Daisy comes back from her hen night and hopefully suss out what is going on," even as she said that the chances of Daisy working things out was highly unlikely.
"I doubt Daisy would work things out. Anyway, aren't your parents visiting tomorrow?" Lee asked hoping he hadn't got the day wrong.
"Ye, we'll wait for them," Lucy smiled as she stretched her legs out in front of her, yawning.
"You tired?" Lee whispered to her as she nodded her head.
"Ye been a long day," she replied sleepily.
"Why don't you go to sleep and I'll keep an eye out," Lee suggested as Lucy nodded her head once again before standing up and making her way over to the towel cupboard and grabbing a few before placing them down in the middle of the floor to make a make shift pillow.
"Do you want a pillow?" Lucy asked Lee who was watching her.
"If you don't mind," he answered as Lucy made him one next to hers before she rested her head against hers and soon fell into an uncomfortable sleep. Lee smiled sadly before he made his way over to lie down next to her. Turning to face Lucy who was facing the left he removed a stray strand of hair which had fallen in front of her face to behind her ear gently before watching her sleep for a few minutes. Soon Lee followed suit and fell into a sleep beside her.
