Lucy Messer had lots of friends at school, but her main friends were Amber, Emily, Hayley, Chris, Will and of course Ryan her boyfriend.

Lucy walked down the hall and went to her locker, as she got there she saw Hayley waiting for her. Hayley was the party animal of the group and she lived in a big house as her parents were so rich.

'Hey Luce!' Hayley called hugging her best friend.

'Hiya H!' she replied while hugging her friend back.

'You ok?' Lucy sighed 'let me guess, you argued with your dad again?'

'Got it in one.' Lucy said while putting books into her locker.

'Well I'm having a big party this Friday night, you best come were all going including Ryan.' Lucy smiled at the mention of her boyfriend's name.

'Yeah I would love to, let me clear it with my dad and I'll text you tonight alright?' Hayley nodded.

'Sure thing c ya later!' Hayley pushed her way through the crowd and to her class. Lucy slammed her locker shut and spun round to see Ryan standing there.

'OMG!' Lucy squealed as she was so shocked.

'Sorry Babe didn't mean to scare you.' Ryan pulled her in for a hug and a kiss.

'You argue with your dad this morning?' Ryan asked as they pulled away.

'Don't I always?' she replied as if it was a statement.

'its ok, I'm here for you' he pulled her into another hug. 'I'll walk you to the lab later ok?'

'You're too good to me' Lucy smiled and kissed him.

'I Love You' Ryan whispered into her ear.

'I Love You too.'

The day dragged on, school was a bore, but soon she could go to college with Ryan and be away from her family. Lucy deep down loved her family but they wouldn't accept her for who she is and she wasn't going to change for anyone.

Soon it was 3pm and the school bell rang, Lucy made her way to the gates and joined Ryan on their walk to the crime lab. They stopped outside the crime lab to say their goodbyes.

'You gonna ask your dad about Hayley's party?' Lucy groaned at the thought and she already knew that her dad would say no.

'come on babe you have to do it.'

'I know I just I know he will say no and we will have a massive arguement, I'll storm off and phone you and moan for the rest of the night.' Ryan pulled her in for a peck on the lips.

'that better?' Lucy smiled and Ryan pulled her in for another kiss.

Across the street Lindsay and hawkes were parking the SUV after following a dead end lead, they were about the cross the street when they both spotted Lucy and Ryan having a kiss in front of the crime lab building. Soon Ryan left and Lucy went into the building.

Lindsay shook her head and tear pinpricked her eyes, 'where did it all go wrong?'

'Why cant I go?' Lucy asked her dad and as she expected he said no, yet Lucy was trying to remain calm.

'Because Lucy you get what you want, all you care about is looking good by not eating anything and do you know what your not getting what you want this time!' Danny shouted at his 16 year-old daughter.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN I GET WHAT I WANT!! Yeah ok I admit I spend time on looking good but I have a boyfriend dad, I do eat I ain't a bag of bones u know. Have u looked at my report card recently that's taped to the fridge? Straight A's! I try so hard at school and do you know why?'

'Why?' Danny asked.

'Because I hate my life at home! My own family hates me, you expect me to be someone I'm not.' Lucy by now was crying and she was quickly wiping them away. 'I feel like you don't even want me dad, all it is at home is AJ did this, Tommy did this and all Lucy ever does it cause trouble.' Sobs were erupting Lucy's mouth now.

'baby, its not like that, none of us at home hate you sweetie your my little girl, my special girl. I tell you what at the weekend me and you we'll go out and you can buy some new clothes, we'll make up for the times we missed as father and daughter.' Lucy smiled and nodded.

' I love you Lucy.'

'I love you too daddy.'
