Paulo was lying on his bed with the phone next to him. He was eager to get a phone call. After a few minutes the phone rang. Paulo picked it up and waited for an answer.

"Hello?" Lucy's voice came from the phone.

"Hey Lucy how are you?" Paulo asked tried to hide that he was excited.

"Oh I am" the voice changed "Beaten and bruised because of you!" Paulo dropped the phone in panic. "And now I am going to make you pay" the voice came from behind him. Paulo turned around slowly to a cloaked man. He was shorter and skinner than Sabre.

"Fury" Another cloaked man appeared behind the other "I told you I would take care of it."

"And Hell will freeze other" Fury growled.

Sabre shook his head walking up to Paulo "I will see that he is punished" Sabre reached and ripped a glowing yellow orb out of Paulo's head.

"OW!" Paulo cried holding the back of his head.

"I'll take away his 6th sense until I feel he has earned it back" Sabre explained as Fury growled "OK I will also find another punishment for him. Oh by the way Paulo because of your little act. Michael is it? Yes Michael almost beat her to death umm what is her name?"

"HER NAME IS LUCY YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!" Fury screeched.

Mike was walking towards his house. He was carrying Lucy on his back. He felt guilty that he fell for Paulo and Haley's lies. He also felt blood and the coldness of Lucy's body. He took some light in that Fury trusted him with her. He was also glad he could feel her moving as she breathed. Mike stopped.

"Lucy… I am sorry" Mike began "I am—"he was startled by Lucy's hand touching his face. As she softly placed it on his face, Mike shifted to get Lucy back securely on his back. Then he continued walking home till he reached his front down. He kicked the gently but hard enough to get someone's attention.

"Michael!" his mother yelled as she opened the front door "I told you not to the kick the door—"

Mike cut her off "Shut up mom and move out of my way!"

Mike's mom replied "Young man—"

Mike yelled "Move out of my way I have Lucy on my back and she is hurt badly!" Mike's mother looked over Mike's shoulder seeing Lucy and the terrible condition she was in. She moved aside allowing Mike to walk in. Mike walked to the couch slowly and carefully laying Lucy down on the couch. He held her hand "Hey Lucy you going to be ok right?" Tears started coming down his face.

Mike was sitting on his bedroom floor playing a video game. Lucy was lying on his sleeping. It was about an hour later, Mike decided to do as Fury said and he asked his mother if you Lucy could spend the weekend at his house. Of course offered and did go walk to Lucy's house to get her stuff. His mother and Lucy's mother said it was ok but he had to ask Lucy. He had dreaded asking her expecting a no. But she only smiled and quietly said yes. Mike had turned the TV's volume off so Lucy could sleep. Mike just couldn't make sense of it all. He beat Lucy. After she was being nice to him, standing up for him, and being his friend. He could understand how even after all that Fury trusted him. What bothered him the most was that his wounds healed not even seconds after Fury caused them. Fury told him because Lucy loved him Fury couldn't kill him. She loved him? After all he did to her.

He sighed at looked up at her. He could see her stomach raising and falling with every breath. He could see her bandages that were wrapped around her wounds. Despite all that she looked so peaceful. Mike pressed pause and paused the game. He stood up walked up to the bed and looked down at Lucy. Despite all the bandages and bruised she still looked beautiful. Mike just stood there starring at her.

He was interrupted when he felt his manhood hit the bed. He stepped back and looked down. He started sweating. He looked at Lucy then back to his manhood. He started sweating harder. He had an erection. He had ERECTION! He placed his face in his hands and walked around the room. He stopped and looked back at Lucy with shame. Then he thought. It's just hormones right? I would get erection from any girl spread out on a bed right? He nervously walked over to her. He was fully aware and embarrassed at his erection. He sat down on the bed. He was trying to think of what to do. But he found himself fighting not to look at Lucy. Wait she is asleep. She won't know if I just stand here and stare at her right? He was sweating even harder. He looked at his bathroom door. "What the hell is wrong with you!" he thought shaking his head. He moved closer to Lucy. He found himself starring at her chest. She is asleep she wouldn't? No I can't do that. He was already taking advantage of her enough. Oh I just want to feel as he reached for her chest. No I can't it's not right!

He had just exited the bathroom full of shame. He lost erection but also his pride. He walked back other to Lucy he knelt down next to her head and whispered in her ear. "I am sorry Lucy."

"You should!" Lucy snapped sitting up. Mike jumped back scared shitless, he then stood up and walked away. He stopped when he sensed a hand reaching for his shoulder. He turned around to see Lucy standing behind him with one arm reached out and the other across her chest. She turned a light pink when she noticed Mike turned around.

"Lucy?" Mike asked confused.

"You… you… you got a…a.. a bone…er.." Lucy was stuttered the words as they came out.

"Yeah" Mike looked down ashamed.

"Really?" Lucy asked. Mike looked up seeing she still had one arm across her chest and the other behind her back. She was looking down her face a darker pink.

"Yes?" Mike was really confused.

"You… think… I am…" Lucy was incredibly nervous "hot..?" Mike was taken by surprise. He wasn't sure what to think. "Mike?" Lucy began "Ummm you stared at my body…" Mike opened his mouth but Lucy continued "Mike… I'm… I mean… I like…" Lucy's confidence was dying very quickly. Mike went to speak but Lucy started again "Mike I like it you when you stare at me!" Lucy immediately covered her mouth with both her hands. She still could not look at Mike. She felt stupid. She screwed up. She was regretting blundering that out. Mike just stared at her with disbelief. He would was so puzzled and confused it starting hurting his head.

"Really?" Mike asked. Still covering her mouth she nodded. Calling the moment awkward was a great understatement.

"God Paulo was right I am whore" Lucy said starting to cry. She might as well tell Mike. But he is smart. He probably already knew. That was probably why he chose Sandy. Lucy was crying harder. Mike was going to think even less of her now. How could he love her, when she is nothing but a whore? Sandy wasn't a whore. She was a model. She probably is hotter than me. Lucy kept on crying. It all made sense to her now. She turned around and started towards the door. As she turned the nob to open the door it slammed close. "Oh God" Lucy thought as she starting shaking. Mike was probably going to… her thoughts were interrupted by Mike's hand gently touching her chin. She cried harder. Mike brought her face up to look at him in the eyes.

"Lucy?" Mike asked "I thought you didn't like it when guys you know?"

"You're different Mike" Lucy choked as she continued crying "I know that you're not like other guys. You're nice and…" Her confidence was gone as she pulled back her head, turned around and looked at the ground with ears drooping. Mike is going to treat me different now. He will probably feel me up now. Now that he knows I am whore.

"Lucy" Mike began "I don't think you're a whore. I just think that maybe you want someone to admire your body. Someone who you…" Mike paused "Who you trust." Lucy turned around. She looked up at him. She had her arms across her chest. Mike was caught off guard by her arms, so he looked at them. Lucy taking that as a sign moved her arms down to her sides and stood up straight closing her eyes. Waiting for Mike to do what he wants. And he did, wrapping his arms around Lucy bringing her body up against his. Lucy was startled. Then she almost jumped realizing what Mike was doing, he was hugging her. He started rubbing her back gently making sure to keep his curious hands on her back.

"Lucy, it's ok. You don't need to cry. I am not going to stop being your friend." Mike said "I am going to treat you like you are a whore either." Lucy stopped crying. She didn't expect this at all. She nervously reached out her arms and hugged him back. "Lucy" Lucy was startled by Mike's voice "I am glad you're my friend." Lucy smiled and continued to hug him. Mike wanted to let go and try to do something that would make her feel better.

"Lucy?" Mike asked "Can you let go? I want to do something." Lucy let go feeling like she did something wrong. Mike walked past her and sat on his bed. Lucy felt even worse. He was really nervous and was unsure if he should have stopped hugging Lucy.

"Lucy come sit on my lap" Mike said. Lucy nervous walked over and sat on his lap. She was still shaking and incredibly nervous. Mike hugged her tight as he brought her up against his body. He hugged her around her arms too, so she reached up and grabbed one of Mike's arms and rested her head on his chest closing her eyes. Mike could hear her breathe softly and calmly.

Mike just sat holding her. Her presence gave him. He couldn't describe the feeling, but he was just glad that she was there. Mike heard his door open quietly. He looked over at his mom standing in the door way. She sighed she did not want to interrupt Mike and Lucy. But it was dinner time.

"It's dinner time." She replied. She left the room. Lucy looked at Mike with worry in her eyes. Mike smiled trying to comfort her. He let go of her and she got off his lap they head down stairs to wash their hands and get ready for dinner. Mike was walking to the table while Lucy washed her hands.

"Not a word Haley." Mike's mother demanded "Or you are grounded." Haley rolled her eyes and sat down. Lucy walked up unaware of Mike's mother's threats. Mike pulled out a chair for Lucy; she nervously sat down quite embarrassed. Mike's mother set the lasagna on the table. "I hope you like lasagna Lucy." Mike's mother said handing Mike a plate with lasagna on it; Mike passed the plate to Lucy.

Lucy was really nervous "Ms. Scott, lasagna is actually my favorite."

"Really?" Mike's mother was pleasantly surprised. But she wasn't the only one surprised. I have known her for how long and I just learned what her favorite food is. Mike felt like an idiot.

"Lucy? Do you know what my favorite dish is?" Mike asked. Lucy nervously started twittling her thumbs.

"It's smoked salmon right?" Lucy asked afraid that she was wrong. Mike nodded. What the fuck? She knew my favorite dish! But I had no idea of hers. Mike felt even worse. Regardless they all ate their dinner and it was very peaceful.

Mike and Lucy were just walking into Mike's room. Mike closed the door behind him and walked towards the TV. He stopped half way turning around seeing Lucy was just standing there nervously.

"Lucy? Do you want me to hold you again?" Mike asked hoping he didn't hurt her feeling or upset her. She simply nodded. So Mike sat down on his bed and Lucy sat on his lap. They both just sat there enjoying the other's company.

"Wow Mike I am impressed" Fury stated. Mike looked at him about to speak "Hold your tongue! She can't hear or see I. I thought by now you would have called Sandy." Mike tried his hardest to remain calm. "I just probably put fear into your head."

"What fear?" Mike thought.

"The fear that you will end up loving Lucy more than you love Sandy." Fury explained. "I will not tell Lucy anything or bother you anymore, IF you make three promises. The first is protect her against harm whatever you can! What you can't I will! The second probably very hard for you, but if you grow to love Lucy don't stop sending time with her. The third is the hardest of the three, if you love Lucy more than Sandy then—"

"Chose Lucy" Mike whispered making sure it he was on Lucy's deaf side. Fury simply nodded.

"So can you make and keep those three promises?" Fury asked. Mike thought hard. He knew this was a very important decision. "If you don't love Lucy more than chose Sandy." Mike continued thinking. He finally came up with his answer.

"Yes"
