Over Protected

A/N: Hey, guys! I know that I really shouldn't have another Drake story I've got, like, 5 now! But I couldn't resist! This is before Bleeding Hearts and after Out for Blood, just before Lucy's parents come home! Christabel isn't coming into this one, so she's not coming with Lucy's parents! Okay, hope you enjoy this!

Typical.

The one day I actually do something dangerous I get caught.

Well, most of the things I do are dangerous, but this one was bad. I was hoping that Nicholas and the Drakes didn't find out or they'd freak. And my parents, of course. I was grounded, but right now I'm anything but that.

I ran away.

And this is the story about how.

Flashback

I was sitting in my room at the Drakes, bored, as per usual. I could hear Mrs Brown barking outside of my door, 'protecting' me from my best friend/boyfriend's family. Mainly my newly turned best friend, though. I mean, I understand that she was having trouble keeping clam after everything that had happened, but she hardly ever talked or made communication with me anymore, plus she's always 'busy with Kieran' or acting all depressed on her own. And it's damn hard having a depressed best friend. I just needed a bit of adrenaline in my life, a bit of thrill.

Luckily this night was my last night at the Drakes before going home as my parents were coming back tomorrow. But sometimes that isn't so lucky, thanks to tofu, hippies and the possibilities that Id never see the Drakes again after I went. I knew I was over reacting but it was possible.

I leaned back against the wall and looked out of the window into the darkness of one in the morning. I closed my eyes and sighed when my iPhone rung to life in my black and red silk nightgown's pocket, blaring Rocketeer (Far East Movement). I pulled it out, not bothering opening my eyes to check the caller ID.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Lucy," my friend Annabel's voice said. "It's me."

"Hey, Anna. What's up?"

"So, we're bored, its one AM, we were thinking that you could come out with us."

That woke me up.

I sat up straight and raised one eyebrow to thin air.

"We who? And come out where, exactly?"

"Me!" I heard Anna's boyfriend Damien yell.

"Hey, Damien," I laughed.

"Hey!"

I laughed again as the introductions continued.

"And me," another friend Rosalyn, the shy albino, said. She was known as Rose, and hated it when people called her Rosie.

"And don't forget moi," laughed Jeasmina and Charmaine simultaneously, the twins in our group of friends. They weren't really twins, more like complete opposites in appearances, but exactly the same in every other way possible. They were witty, funny and I absolutely loved them. Jeasmina's second name was Jackson, so we called her 'Jay-Jay' a lot.

"And what about me?" giggled Phoebe, the only other really, really weird one, other than me, of course. She was a lot like me, but more of a flirt. I knew that if our Phoebes was here, then . . .

"And your package deal, Phoebes," her boyfriend Blake said, laughing too.

"Okay, that's everyone, right?" I laughed.

"Yes, that's everyone!" yelled

"Apart from Jeremy, Nate and Danii, who are meeting us there," added Anna.

"Riiiiiiiiiight," I droned out. "So, Anna, Blake, Phoebes, Danii, Jer', Nate, Char, Jay-Jay, Rose and Damien? Somehow I find that hard to believe; there's usually more."

I know, there's like twenty friends in my school group. Not to mention all of the fake-tan wannabes those follow us around. Let's just say I'm quite popular, shall we? Queen Bee, actually.

"Well we wanted a change," said Phoebes.

"I like that change," I chuckled. "Okay, now where?"
"We were thinking about going to AfterMath, you know that new nightclub downtown?"

"Yeah, I know the one. I'll meet you there in about twenty minutes, 'kay?"

"Okay! Gotta go!" Anna squealed. I laughed; Damien was probably tickling her.

"Okay, bye!"

"Bye!" Everyone yelled. I laughed, putting the phone down then threw it on my bed, unzipping my suitcase and taking out my dress. It was a short, grey, one shoulder dress with a black belt with a big buckle around the waist. I was looking for my black sling-backs when I came across my extensions at the bottom of my bag. I grimaced and threw them back, not wanting them. I didn't want to look like the idiot-wannabes at my school.

I went to the dresser drawers and took out my silver earrings, putting them in and finding my chunky black, bead necklace and putting that on. My earrings were just long drops with diamonds on, so I just left my hair down and put on a bit of blusher, eye liner, mascara, pink lip gloss and dark grey eye shadow. I stood back and admired my ten minute long work for about a second then grabbed my black clutch and my heels.

I looked out of the window then put on some music so that the Drakes wouldn't be that suspicious. Luckily my room wasn't that high up, so I could jump down pretty easily. I did so then walked to the edge of the forest without shoes on then put the on quickly and continued walking until I reached my car.

After about five minutes, I was standing outside AfterMath with Anna and my friends. We were laughing when Jeremy, Danii and Nate walked up to us.

"Ready?" Damien said.

"Hell yeah," we all shouted, still laughing.

We walked in to the sound of music blasting and people dancing with the strong smell of alcohol wafting through the air.

And that was just the start of the night.
