Chapter One

Lucy's POV

I was completely happy, in total bliss, and more alive than I ever was in my whole life. Most of that had to do with the boy who was holding my hand and pressing a quick kiss on my cheek. I looked up and grinned at him.

Lockwood and I were currently on a date, celebrating our six month anniversary. I couldn't believe that we'd had been together for half a year already. It seems like just yesterday we were kissing for the first time. One thing was for sure though and that was that I was completely, hopelessly, entirely in love with him.

I just didn't know how to tell him. Part of me was terrified that he wouldn't say it back, but the other part of me just wanted to say it to him despite my fears.

"You mind telling me where we are going?" I asked him impatiently. All he told me was that he had a very special evening planned. That wasn't a lot to go off of.

We were walking side by side downtown and it looked beautiful. Everything was lit up in the night sky and it kind of felt magical.

He grinned and shook his head. "It's a surprise, I already told you that. And please don't give me that look. You know I can't say no to it."

I put away my fake pout and sighed. I hated surprises. "Can you give me a hint?" I asked, already knowing what he was going to say.

"No! Just trust me, alright?" He chuckled and kissed me quickly on the lips. I felt my heart flutter as he pulled away.

"The last time you asked me to trust you was right before we jumped into the Thames together. That wasn't the best way to calm my nerves," I pointed out.

"But that turned out fine, didn't it? And so will this," he promised and pulled me close to his side. I laid my head down on his shoulder and let him lead us to our destination.

About half an hour later we arrived to my surprise. We walked through the park and climbed up a hill. It gave us a great view and I was in awe. Right on top, was a blanket and a picnic basket. I turned to him and smiled.

"Do you like it?" He asked as we sat down on the blanket.

"I love it!" I exclaimed and drew him in for a kiss. He pulled me into his lap and wrapped his arms around me. We continued to kiss until we were rudely interrupted by Lockwood's stomach growling. We both laughed and started to eat our dinner.

"How do you get this all set up?" I asked. I doubt he would've had the time to do it today.

"I had Holly set it up for me. She was more than happy to be of service to us," he explained.

I chuckled. Holly was our number one fan so I wasn't surprised. She has been with us for about six months and I actually enjoyed having her as a colleague and friend. She was certainly an upgrade from the last person we hired.

Grayson. I shuddered just thinking about him. Lockwood, thinking I was cold, pulled me in his arms and laid us down so we were looking up at the stars. My head was resting on his chest and he pressed a kiss to my forehead. I closed my eyes and listened to his heartbeat.

After a while, I opened my eyes again and caught Lockwood looking at me.

"God, I am so lucky," he whispered. He tucked a piece of hair that had fallen on my face behind my ear. He slowly traced his hand down to my chin as if he was memorizing all of my features.

"Lockwood, I-" I started to say but stopped myself quickly. I wanted to say it, the four letter word that could so easily escape my lips, but I chickened out.

"Yes?" He asked, waiting for me to go on. I took a deep breath and shook my head.

"I really like you food you made," I said quietly, trying to cover myself up. I got up and grabbed another sandwich.

Lockwood, looking a little disappointed, followed my lead and grabbed himself more food as well. "Actually, George made it. I shouldn't take the credit away from him."

"Right," I said and shook my head. Lockwood never cooks, I should've remembered that. There was an awkward silence between us and neither of us seemed to know what to say.

"You look beautiful tonight by the way," Lockwood announced breaking the silence. I felt myself blush.

"You don't look so bad yourself," I smiled. He chuckled and just like that it was normal again.

"I got you something," Lockwood said and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small box and handed it to me.

I opened it up and gasped. Inside was the prettiest necklace I'd ever seen. It was a gold necklace that had a little heart shaped pendant on it. The heart had a small diamond near the top and it was breathtaking.

"It's perfect," I whispered.

He grinned back at me. "Not as perfect as you though," he said and I felt my face flush. "Here, let me put it on for you."

I handed him the necklace and he stood up and sat behind me. He pulled my hair back and latched the necklace around my neck. He kissed me on the neck and pulled away slowly.

"It looks beautiful on you," he whispered and I believed him. My relationship with Lockwood did a lot of things, but it really made me more confident in my looks. I knew I wasn't movie star gorgeous, but I felt beautiful when I was with Lockwood.

We laid back down on the blanket and enjoyed each other's company. We kissed, we laughed, we talked, and everything was perfect.

The night we had gotten together, I knew it would be like this. After everything that happened with his cousin, he made sure to be there for me when I needed him the most. He was always there to hold me after I'd had a nightmare, he stayed up with me when I couldn't fall asleep, and he always made sure that I felt loved.

Grayson may have done a lot of terrible things, but he did one thing right. I had a feeling that if he had never come to town and stayed with us, Lockwood and I would've never admitted our feelings for one another.

I've mostly gotten over what happened with Grayson, but the one fear that I still had was that he wasn't really dead. They never found his body, but everyone assured me that he couldn't have survived that fall. However, I always wondered if he was still out there. If anyone could have survived that fall, it would've been him.

"What are you thinking about?" Lockwood asked, noticing my silence. He tilted my chin up so I was looking at him.

I sighed. "I know that it's impossible, but do you think Grayson could've survived? The police never found his body," I said softly.

I saw Lockwood's jaw clench and his mouth was pressed into a hard thin line. "No, I don't," he said sternly. "He's dead, Lucy, and he isn't coming back. You don't have to ever worry about him again!"

"I know," I whispered. "I just think about it sometimes," I admitted. I felt a tear slide down my cheek.

Lockwood's face softened and he gently wiped away my tear. "Lucy, I can't even imagine what you went through. Part of me would rather not know, but whatever you went through, it's not happening again. He's dead and he can never hurt you again. I'll make sure of it," he said and pulled me in for a hug.

I rested my head in the crook of his neck and relaxed. He was right. Grayson was dead. He wasn't coming back.

Lockwood sighed. "I thought it was getting better. You haven't brought him up in such a long time," he whispered.

He was right. The first month after the incident wasn't the best. Between the nightmares, paranoia, and fears, I had a hard time getting over it. Everytime I closed my eyes I saw his face. Everything seemed to remind me of him. As time went on, it started to get better. I hadn't had any breakdowns in a long time. I had no idea what brought it up tonight.

"I guess I was just thinking about it too much. I know you blame yourself for want happened, and you shouldn't, but sometimes I just feel like he stills has this power over me. I can't really explain it," I replied softly.

"Well, it's all over now. If you ever want to talk about, just come find me, okay?" He said softly and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.

I nodded and rested my head against his shoulder. Lockwood moved his hand up and down my arm, trying to comfort me. Let's just say it was working. With him by my side, I'd never felt safer. He was my rock and with him, everything was okay.

We laid there for a long time and neither of us seemed to mind. We were just happy to have this alone time together. The whole night was just perfect. I knew that I would remember it for the rest of my life.

The next morning, I woke up with Lockwood's arm around me. We'd fallen asleep on the sofa last night watching a movie and neither of us wanted to get up. So, we ended up just staying where we were.

I looked up at Lockwood and smiled. He looked so peaceful when he slept. I put my fingers threw his hair and he smiled softly. He opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Morning," I whispered. He smiled and started to pull me in for a kiss. "Not now! I have morning breath," I explained and pulled away from him.

"No you don't," he chuckled. He tried to grab my arm as I stood up but I pulled my arm free.

"See you at breakfast," I smiled and walked up to the kitchen, ignoring Lockwood's groan behind me.

I walked into the kitchen and stopped when I saw both Holly and George staring at me. "What?" I asked.

"What were you doing last night?" Holly asked with a huge grin on her face. George nodded in agreement and waited for my answer.

"Stuff," I said, annoyed at their sudden interest of Lockwood and I's relationship. It was none of their business.

"I'm stuff," Lockwood said smugly from behind me. He pressed a quick kiss on my cheek and sat down at the table. I glared at him and ignored our friend's amused expressions. I walked over to my seat and sat down next to him.

"I better not see any hearts drawn on the thinking cloth. It would make me lose my appetite," George mocked and I was one step away from stabbing him with my fork.

"Let them be in love!" Holly exclaimed and gave me a wink. I almost spit out my drink

"Oh, Lucy!" George said and handed me a letter. "This came in the mail for you," he explained and returned to his stack of pancakes.

I finished chewing and looked at the letter. It came from my home address which was weird. My family hadn't sent me a letter in quite some time.

"Is that from home?" Lockwood asked curiously and I nodded. He put his arm over my chair and looked over my shoulder. I opened the letter and read what it had to say.

Lucy,

If you haven't heard, I'm getting married! I would really appreciate it if you would come down for the event and celebrate with all of us. I have the perfect bridesmaid dress for you and I would love it if my favorite sister was up there on the altar with me as I marry my wonderful husband! The wedding is on June 14th and I would really like it if you could come up early and spend time with all of us. I hope to see you there!

Love,

Mary Carlyle (soon to be Williams!)

P.S. I would love it if you would invite your friends! I would so like to meet them!

I sighed. I really didn't want to go home. However, I didn't want to let my sister down, especially on her wedding day.

"So?" Lockwood asked. I could tell he didn't want to be nosy even though he was trying to read it over my shoulder.

I smiled faintly and looked at all of them. They were all staring at me with anticipation. "Looks like Lockwood and Co is going to a wedding!"
