Joey's P.O.V

I slowly pushed the front door open and saw Lucy sitting on the couch in her livingroom. She looked upset so I sat down next to her and put my arm over her shoulder.

" Whats wrong?. I saw Lauren just now and she sounded off with me and then she told me to ask you what was wrong."

She didn't answer but she was staring intensely at something on the table. I traced to where her eyes lead.

" Are you pregnant?" I asked. I was trying to take it all in and now I knew what Lauren was angry about.

" No" she croaked, upset present in her tone

" So why are you so upset?"

She paused for a moment before answering

" Because I wanted it to be positive, If I was pregnant then you wouldn't leave me, because I know you don't want me anymore. You haven't even touched me for over two weeks. so what is it that's wrong?" I was thrown at what she had just told me and it made me a little upset knowing I had caused her so much pain.

" Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you because you at least deserve that" I replied " I like someone else... and I know this is gonna be hard for you to here,
but I only stayed with you because I needed to find another place to live" She was about to say something but I continued "Me and you were never meant to be a serious thing and I didn't mean to hurt you."

Lucy was clearly upset but I was astounded at what she replied

" I know we weren't meant to be serious, but I was falling for you and I know that's not your fault. And I know I will get over it someday... I hope the girl knows how awesome you are, because I know your alright deep down." Lucy replied, laughing a little at what she said

" Yeah I hope so too. But I think I'm falling for her Luce...and I wasn't meant to find love and I didn't go looking for it but I did.I hope this isn't making you
uncomfortable, Lucy... I thought you were going to kick off or something"

" Wow, Joey Branning is in love" She replied, laughing a little "And I was going to kick off but if you're in love then me kicking up a fuss wouldn't make any difference"

" No, I guess not... Well I'm gonna go pack my stuff then" I told her, standing up and walking over to the stairs

" Okay, I will help you... but where are you gonna stay?" She enquired

" I'm not sure yet. I will probably ask uncle Max if I could stay there" I replied

" Okay, well lets get packing... ohh and Joey, I hope everything goes well for you" She replied, smiling at me. I was so glad that she took this better than I thought.

After a couple of hours packing, Lucy and I were now stood outside of Lucy's back gate with all of my stuff in my hand. I had phoned uncle Max about half an hour earlier and he told me that it was okay that I stayed there and he would tell Tanya and the kids about me staying there.

" Well I'll see you around, Joey" Lucy said, handing me the last of my bags.

" Yeah, see you around" I replied " Ohh and Lucy, thanks for being so cool about this, it really means a lot"I put the last bag over my shoulder and headed to uncle Max's.

"You really are in love, aren't you?. You've changed Joey Branning and for the good, I hope" Lucy shouted. I turned around and she was winking at me and laughing a little to herself. It made me happy that she could move on and that she was happy for me too. "Hopefully we can stay friends" I said inwardly to myself.

Lucy went back into her house and I continued my journey to number 5.

Just an inbetween chapter. Hope you like it. :)

I decided to make Lucy nice in my story because I know she has the potential to accept Lauren and Joey as a couple.
