Hunter POV (Yes, Ehlana. This is for you)
I was waiting for Lucy to come back from talking with Solange with Chloe in our room, when she walked – no, stalked – back into our room, looking very angered and upset.
"Okay, what did she do?" Chloe asked her, standing up and leading her to my bed. Me and Chloe both looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to tell us.
"She's just . . . Solange, she . . . The Drakes-"
And then she burst out crying on my bed.
Chloe looked surprised for a second, but quickly got over it and started to rub our best friend's back soothingly. She looked at me over Lucy's head alarmingly and I shook my head, not knowing what to do.
"Lucy . . ." I said. "Lucy, what did she do?"
She sobbed for a while before sitting up straight and drying her eyes with her fingertip, trying not to make her already wrecked mascara and eye liner run.
Too late for that.
"She left me and . . . And I they're back. The Drakes are back."
I hadn't seen this side of Lucy before. When I met her she had been just lightly upset, but in the last two years she had stayed strong and never ever let her guard down. She was the best female agent in the Helios Ra, not even mentioning the best over the males, too. She was everything I wanted to be: pretty, strong, bubbly, bad ass; everything. Right now, she was making my white bed sheets black with smoky eye shadow.
"Lucy, don't worry," I said reassuringly, hugging her as Chloe continued to rub her back. "We'll be with you all of the way.
Once she had finished weeping and she's cried herself all out, I pulled my now-curly blonde hair back and into a high pony, leaving my fringe out and took the make up removers out of Lucy's bedside table.
Lucy POV
I didn't know what happened, but it all suddenly hit me. Solange leaving, Nicholas leaving, Mom and Dad dying, joining the Helios, the Drakes leaving again; all of it.
Hunter and Chloe left me alone for some time to myself and went downstairs and into our friends Jenna and Lia's room.
I wiped off all the remains of my smudged make-up and looked at myself in the mirror.
I was a wreck.
My hair was everywhere, my eyes red, my clothes were wrinkled and I looked crazy. I sighed deeply and closed my eyes, thinking about what I'd heard. When I was in the hall I'd heard Helena and Liam talking and heard something I wished that I hadn't: The Drakes were coming home. And for good.
I had wished for so long that they would come back, but when I finally got over the, that faded and I didn't want anything to do with them.
Solange came back for Kieran, and not me.
My thoughts were interrupted by my two best friends walking in.
"Hey," I said to them, sounding upset. I tried again, but with a more bubbly voice.
I failed.
They saw right through and came to sit on my bed, trying to comfort me but I stopped them and said that it was alright. They shook it off after a minute of considering the options.
My phone let out a shrill scream (Looking Up by Paramore, actually) indicating that I was getting a call.
"Someone loves me," I sang and reached to get it. Chloe and Hunter looked at me skeptically but I just shrugged and laughed. "Hello?"
"Lucky, we need to talk," a familiar voice said.
"Leave me-" I was interrupted.
"Just meet me outside your gym at the bushes tonight. Please?"
"Fine," I agreed begrudgingly.
"Good."
"Good."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Bye."
"Bye."
"I lo-"
I didn't want to hear it, so I put down my phone and looked up at my friends, who were looking at me in surprise.
"What?"
"Nothing," they said. Chloe went back to typing on her Toshiba and Hunter went back to painting her toenails.
"I've got to go," I said.
They looked suspicious but let me go.
I went to where Nicholas had told me to meet him.
What the hell was I doing?
