A/N: Thanks for all of the reviews! Shout outs at the bottom! I know that this is a little early, but I got this really sweet PM from Ms Fantasy Freak Lolololololol and I had to update! Love you all! My Twitter name's at the bottom of the chap!
"Nicholas?" I hissed into the darkness. I hadn't realised that it was so late at night, but how else would a vampire be meeting me? In the daylight? I think not. "Nicholas?"
"Lucky?"
I jumped and whirled around to see none other than Nicholas Christopher Drake: my ex-boyfriend, vampire, heartbreaker and illustrious prince of the Drake Chronicles.
"God, Nicholas," I breathed. "What did you want me for?"
"Lucky-"
"Don't call me that."
"Fine. Lucy, we need to talk. And properly."
"Fine, talk. I've had enough of talking with your sister and-"
"Don't act like you don't know. I know that you sent her to talk to me."
"Well, I-! You know what? Forget it. Just go back to your dorm room. Bye Lucy."
"No!" I accidentally yelled and grabbed Nicholas' arm. "No! I did not come out here just to see you leave me again! Just say what you wanted to."
He stopped and looked at me straight in the eyes.
"Lucy, I was going to tell you that I never stopped loving you. But that changed when I saw you with that Andrew."
"Alex. His name's Alex. And stop lying, Nicholas. You know that that isn't true. You wouldn't leave me if you loved me. Now that you've said that, I think I'll leave."
Tears were threatening to spill over my cheeks, but I refused to let them. No emotion, I chanted in my head.
"Lucy!" he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him. "I wasn't lying," he insisted. What happened next surprised me most, though; he kissed me.
I don't know just what was running through my head, but I think that I may have kissed him back. Just maybe. His arms had moved to my waist and I was beginning to lace my hands around his neck when I heard a voice.
"Lucy? Oh my God."
My eyes widened and I stepped back, my head whipping around to see Hunter, Chloe, Alex, Kieran and Jarred standing shocked next to a few bushes.
"Lucy?" Chloe whispered, still shocked. "What . . . What are you doing?"
"I-I-I don't know," I stuttered, slowly walking towards my friends. "A-Alex?"
He was standing still, his shoulders tensed up and his mouth still open.
"Alex, I'm sorry," I whispered to him. He shook his head and I saw my best friends shoot glares at Nicholas. I gave a glare of my own and he began to back away into the bushes. I was smirking (internally, of course. If I was smirking externally then it would have wrecked the Helena-worthy glare) and turning around to face my ex-boyfriend. "Nicholas. Nicholas, why the freaking hell did you just kiss me?" I yelled, all of the hurt that I had felt for Alex gone and replaced with anger.
"Don't act like you didn't like it or kiss me back," he said, attempting to regain his strength and manliness. He had his shoulders all bulked up and was trying to look cool.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't know that you became Quinn in the past two years!" I laughed. It was kind of an evil laugh. Nicholas looked scared.
"What?" He looked confused.
"Never mind. Just go home, Nicholas. I suggest you do that, or else you might not be able to in a few minutes. You've got a few of the best Helios-Ra agents that the Helios have ever had standing infront of you, and . . . " I could have carried on but he was already half gone. He looked at me for a quick second before he left, and I couldn't decipher what it was in his eyes: Love or lust.
AS soon as he was gone, I looked at Alex and then my friends quickly. They nodded and Hunter said quietly, "So I guess we'll leave you two alone. See you in dorm room later?" I nodded and my friends snuck away back to safety.
"Alex, I-I . . . I'm sorry. I never should have done that. After he broke up with me and moved away, my parents died . . . It just brought back all of the memories and – and I-" It was like before all over again. I just broke down crying but this time my boyfriend (the term hanging loosely) was holding me and comforting me. He rubbed my beck and I rested my head on his chest, letting my tears stain his brown shirt.
"Lux-" Kieran had told everyone that my real name was Lucky when I got here, and Lux was my pet name that only Alex had ever dared to call me. "-I know, I know."
I sobbed into his t-shirt for a while then finally gained the strength to look him in the eyes. I leaned back and gazed into his green emeralds, but the tears still kept coming. He sighed and sat on the grassy ground, pulling me with him.
"Just tell me one thing, Lux. Do you still love him?"
"No! I don't think so . . . I just . . . I'm sorry, Alex!" He looked hurt for a second, but it soon changed.
"It's alright. I'll help you get over him. I promise that. If I do anything, if I get angry, if I get jealous, then just hit me or something. We'll get through this, Lux."
I looked at him lovingly. No normal boyfriend would do this. Mine was just special. "Thank you."
"It's okay, baby. Just calm down." He leaned down and pecked me on the lips for a quick second, then leaned his forehead against mine. We just sat there breathing in the cold air for a while. He wrapped his coat around me when goosebumps appeared on my arms and we stayed there for a while, not moving, not doing anything. Just breathing.
But then my phone just had to go and ruin the moment.
It rang to life and my ring tone for Hunter (Morning After Dark by Timbaland ft. Nelly Furtado & So Shy) sounded and I sighed and pulled it from my pocket.
"Hello?"
"Lucy! Bellwood's just come to our dorm! Get back here quick!"
"I'm coming! Open the window!"
"What?" Chloe's voice came. "The window? Wh-?"
"Just do it!" I snapped the phone shut and looked at Alex, who must have heard my conversation because he was already getting up.
"Bye Lux." He kissed me one last time before rushing off.
"Alex! Your coat!"
"Keep it!" he yelled to me from a distance.
Sweet.
I shrugged it off and carried it the way to the window
After jumping, I crawled along the roof of the first floor extension. I hooked my fingers over one of the ledges and swung my legs so than I was sitting at Courtney's window. When she saw me, she started pointing and jumping, "It's Lucy! IT's Lucy!" I rolled my eyes and pushed myself up to the next floor and repeated that about four times until I got to my window. I climbed over the ledge and saw Hunter and Chloe gaping.
"Close your mouths and get into bed," I ordered. We all scrambled into the comfort of our beds, a couple of milliseconds before Miss Bellwood walking in to the room.
"Ms Hamilton, Ms Cheng, Ms Wild," she said, nodding. She looked around suspiciously, but let it go. She glanced back to us, all curled up under the covers. "You did well today at the meeting. Especially with the vampire attack. Well done, girls. You made us proud. We had a teacher meeting and we all agreed that you three and Mr Black should all attend the next meeting scheduled with the Drakes. We also have a Royal Ball that you are attending. Of course, you have to be dressed formally. Meet me tomorrow at six am sharp for the information at my office. You have no choice. You are coming to the ball. Goodbye."
And then she left.
Me, H and C all waited until we couldn't hear her footsteps to burst out laughing. She had just babbled on and on and basically ordered us to be at an important meeting and a ball!
"God!" Chloe laughed.
"I know," my and Hunter giggled together, which just made me laugh more.
A million laughs later, we settled down and sat up. Chloe's curly black hair was still in ringlets and neat, which I didn't understand. Hunter's was in a loose bun and mine was just in a tight high pony, letting it flow behind my back to just above my waist.
"So, everything's okay with you and Alex, then?" Chloe asked.
"Yep," I grinned. "Better than ever.
