Lucy's POV

OH-MY-CHIMNEY-SWEEP! Am I in trouble? YES, bog time. Here I am waiting for the ok from Solange so I can go meet them to watch Marcus make a complete ass out himself. And may lightning strike me down if I was lying, but I swear it was not my fault.

Yet here I am, getting all the blame as per usual. You see I was getting some coffee (as it was 1 in the morning) and I desperately wanted to watch Marcus do his task. So I was just about to pay, when would you believe it? In comes my ex-boyfriend (Julian) and with him 5 other drunken idiots (all of whom and blood shot eyes and seriously messed up hair, ain't they ever heard of combs?) so I was just about to head to my car when I hear shouting coming from behind me.

"Oi Lucy!" they voice yelled getting closer. But you see it was cold outside and all I really wanted was to get in my car, I was not repeat NOT scared! I (according to Kieran and several others who have had to bad fortune to get on my bad side) will one day be as scary as Helena Drake.

"Come on Luce" Another voice. It sounded a lot like Julian but it was hard to tell as the words were all slurred coming from a drunk, and let's face it possibly high mouth. I quickened my pace, so I wouldn't do anything I regret-obviously. When someone grabbed me from behind. Oh-No, big mistake.

I turned around only to see a very, very –not enough time in the day to emphasize- drunken Julian. Ugh, why did I ever like this guy? Seriously, I'm going to have to check with Solange- she'll remember. Out of nowhere to rotten tomatoes of lips came down towards me, ok I know where they came from but I wasn't in the mood for elaborating. And next thing I know my fist has connected with his jaw. Hard. It was however an accident, If I had been trying he would probably have a broken jaw and be missing a few teeth. This however did not condemn what those drunken idiots did next. They called the police... ON ME! I mean if anything I should be pressing charges on them has no one heard of sexual harassment these days?

So here I am, listening to this police woman lecture me on how drinking can affect the mind. No point trying to explain I hadn't had anything to drink. Was the coffee cup lying on the floor when she arrived not enough to show I was at least a little sober? And ok, so I did throw in a few more punches, but there were 5 of them and one of me, you'd think they would be able to hold their own.

I practically fell out my seat when she said I could call someone to pick me up. Maybe all the clumsiness jokes I had to endure were true after all? Ah cheezus, who to call?

Solange- Can't 'cause she is with Marcus.

Hunter- with Isabeau sorting out the camera equipment. Not that she needs help.

Isabeau- with Hunter and I don't have her number. (Note to self: get Isabeau's number!)

Liam- most likely playing with cat me (he spends more time with the cat than me!)

Nicholas- still angry with him and he thinks I'm a cat.

Logan- I could never live it down plus he also thinks I'm a cat.

Sebastian- Damn is there no one who doesn't think I'm a cat.

Marcus- has his task and he thinks I'm a cat.

Duncan- God, that damn cat gets all the luck.

Connor- Probably couldn't tear himself away from his computer. And again the whole cat thing.

Quinn- would kill me if I interrupted him when he was flirting with some girl, though admittedly he has been doing that less and less since he met Hunter. But still the dude thinks I'm a cat.

Hyacinth- will not show her face to the family let alone in public. And, though I'm not sure, I think she may also believe I'm a cat.

Geoffrey- is at the lab. No phone allowed, I would know.

Mum- Nope, that's not going to happen.

Dad- same situation as mum, though he may be more understanding.

Oh God that only leaves Helena. I may not get to watch Marcus's task let alone make a fool out of Nicholas. And that really would be too good an opportunity to miss. Jeez, I don't have any other choices. I pick up the phone and dialled quickly.

"Hello" Helena's voice came from the receiver.

Deep breath "Hi it's me"

"Oh, Lucy. The boys have set off so you can come over if you like."

"Well, you see that's the thing I'm already in town" I said quickly.

"I'll meet you there then" she said.

"Um, well you see that's the thing" I rushed into my story maybe over exaggerating there attack on me slightly, but I didn't want to be murdered. "So" I said once I'd finished "could you come get me?"

Helena's POV

"So" she said "could you come get me?" I sighed this girl was going to get in a hell lot more trouble one day and there is no way I'm bailing her out. But tonight it seemed (for once) it wasn't even slightly Lucy's fault.

"I'll be there in 2 minutes" I hung up. That girl has the worst luck! This is going to be one hell of a night. I raced into my car and sped off down the dark driveway, at this rate were going to miss Marcus's task. And that would be anouying.
