Joey sat at home waiting for lauren to call him, she said she would ring every night and tonight she hadn't, he knew she was enjoying herself and she deserved too. Picking up his phone he rang laurens number, the international tune started and he waited for her to answer, but she didn't, it rung and rung and finally went to voicemail. It made joey feel uneasy, and he started all these thoughts in his head, was she ok? Was she with someone else? Did she miss him? He couldn't stop all the thoughts that circled his head.

"darling its probably lucy playing a joke on you, I wouldn't pay attention to it" Tanya tried to reassure her daughter
"mum joey and her are in bed together you can see that they're practically naked" lauren said as she began to cry again
"lauren I think you need to speak to joey and find out whats going on" Tanya explained
"no, not tonight, I think im just gonna get some sleep" lauren replied.
She headed up to their room leaving her mum, sister and brother in the bar, she curled up in her bed and looked at the picture on her phone again, the tears silently rolled down her cheeks as all the thoughts came to her, how could he do this to her? And with lucy? And only 2 days after she'd gone on holiday? Finally she fell into an exhausted sleep.

Lauren woke the next morning to the room spinning, she felt so sick, she jumped out of bed and ran to the toilet where she threw up. She sighed as all the memories last night came flooding back, she stood and brushed her teeth before heading to find her family
"you ok darling, just heard you being sick. Must of drunk a bit last night" Tanya smiled
"I didn't drink at all actually" lauren sighed
"ok well abs and Oscar have gone for breakfast I said we'd meet them" Tanya said
"I think im gonna phone joey, I think we need to talk" lauren sighed
"ok darling well I'll give you some privacy, come find us when your ready" Tanya said before leaving
Lauren picked up her phone and hovered over joeys number, she knew they needed to talk, she knew she had to find out the truth, she couldn't believe that joey would treat her that way, finally plucking up the courage she pressed ring, she waited for him to pick up
"hey babe, how come you didn't ring last night?" joey said upon answering his phone
"I urm… I" lauren stuttered before she began to cry
"babe whats wrong?" joey panicked hearing laurens sobs
"lucy sent me the picture" lauren managed to say
"what picture what are you on about?" joey asked confused
"like you don't know" lauren snapped
"babe I don't know what your going on about, will you just tell me?" joey said getting angry
"she sent the one of you and her naked in bed. Jesus joey ive only been away 2 days and you jump into bed with someone else" lauren shouted
"I haven't slept with lucy, I don't know why or where she got the picture, but babe I haven't slept with her, I wouldn't cheat on you" joey explained
"I don't know what to think anymore joey, I thought things were going well for us" lauren said as the tears started again
"babe things are going well for us, lucy is spitefull and she cant stand the fact we're happy and she aint" joey proclaimed
"ok well I need sometime to think" lauren said before hanging up.

Joey was fuming after he got off the phone with lauren, he grabbed his jacket and headed out of the office and headed across the square to find lucy, as soon as he walked into the café she gave him her bright smile and acted all innocent
"what the hell is your game lucy?" joey snapped
"I don't know what your on about" lucy replied looking confused at joey
"you know full well what im on about, sending lauren that picture, you cant stand the fact I chose her over you can you lucy" joey spat
"joey it was only meant to be a joke" lucy smiled innocently
"well neither of us found it funny lucy, I tell you what stay the hell away from me and lauren, you come near us again or medal in our relationship you will regret it" joey shouted before walking out of the café to calm himself down.

"did you speak to joey darling?" Tanya asked as lauren sat on the sunbed next to her mum
"yeah he didn't have a clue what I was on about, said he hasn't been with lucy" lauren explained
"and do you believe him?" Tanya asked cautiously
"yeah I do, but I don't get why she would send me the picture" lauren sighed laying down next to her mum
"are you feeling better now darling, from this morning?" Tanya asked remembering lauren being sick
"yeah I think so, I don't know what it was, I didn't touch a drop of alcohol last night" lauren explained
"probably something you ate then" Tanya smiled before laying back down to enjoy the sun.
