Alex grabbed Lucy from the party and left instantly. Lucy sat in the car watching Alex driving fast and in the direction of a bar she knew they had come to before. She didn't push Alex to ask what happened, but waited for Alex to calm down and tell her. She parked the car and left towards the bar with Lucy following her.

She grabbed two seats at the bar and ordered two rum/cokes.

"Paige is going to ask Maria to marry her" Alex stated after gulping down the drink and asking for another one.

"That's good! Im glad!" Lucy just sipped on the drink slowly. Alex turned her head and glared at Lucy, while Lucy was kind of confused at why Alex was mad at her.

"Okay I'm lost here! You didn't want to be with her, and so she is happy with Maria. Isn't that what you wanted?" Lucy sipped again.

"I wanted her to be happy, but I didn't want her to tie the knot and permanently become someone elses. Being someone's girlfriend I can cope with, but being someone's wife isn't something that I can just simply live with"

"Alex, its not like she was going to be single for the rest of her life. I told you to not let her go, three months ago, right over here didn't i? Alex its too late. You got to face the fact that she's getting married and be a good, supportive friend"

The Next Day

Alex woke up to a really bad hangover. After 3 glasses of rum/cokes and 7 shots of tequila, Lucy had grabbed her and took her home. She went downstairs for some bread, water and tyenol for the headache. She found Lucy already in the lounge watching some tv.

"You okay there Alex?"

"Yeah, just a bad headache" Alex grabbed a seat next to Lucy and placed her head on Lucy's lap. Lucy slowly massaged Alex's head.

"Any plans for today hun? It's a high of 25 today, I thought we do some shopping and maybe a movie or dessert later"

"Hmmmm, sounds like a nice plan. Just give me an hour to relax and then we will get ready and head to Eaton Centre" Lucy continued to massage Alex's scalp for the next two hours. It ended up Alex had fallen asleep in Lucy's lap and she didn't have the guts in her to wake her plus she looked really cute sleeping.

Shopping Centre

Alex and Lucy went to many stores and brought at least something from each store. Holding about 10 bags each they still weren't done shopping. Lucy asked Alex if she could stop at the bookstore, and Alex proceeded to follow her in. Who knew shopping could make you feel better?!

Lucy grabbed a few books and they both headed towards the food court for some late lunch. Alex looked at her cell that she accidently left on silent from last night and saw 10 missed calls from her workplace and 5 missed calls from Paige. Alex excused herself from Lucy and headed to find a quieter place in the mall.

She called her workplace which was quickly answered by her law clerk.

"I've been trying to reach you so many times Alex, where were you?"

"What's wrong?"

"Spinner' s out. Judge released him on good behaviour and guess where he's heading for some revenge?"

"Paige?"

"Exactly!"

"I got to go!"

Alex quickly dialed Paige's number only to hear her sobbing on the other hand.

"What's wrong?"

"Maria *sob* Spinner *sob* Spinner shot Maria, and Maria is in critical right now*sob* and Spinner is still on the loose"

"I'm on my way"
