A/n: hi! I know I have a million and one stories but, here's another one I'm the queen of starting new stories when I have so many unfinished. Anyway this story is sort of AU, focusing on the coupling of Johnny Zacchara/Lulu Spencer and Claudia Zacchara/Ethan Lovett. I am suddenly intrigued by Claudia/Ethan don't ask your girl why, I just am. Anyway I'm getting sidetracked which I'm always good at.

Things you need to know for this story:

-Takes place in circa 2009, right after Lulu gets out of Shadybrooke.

-Claudia did marry Sonny but quickly annulled the marriage. Anthony kicked her out of Crimson Pointe, so she's living with Johnny and Lulu at the penthouse.

-Ethan lives right across the hall from Johnny.

I guess that's all you need to know? If you have any questions just ask and I'll answer lol. I'm a little dumb right now. Anyway, happy reading!

Chapter One- Black

"Johnny Zacchara, you are an ass." Lulu Spencer mutters to herself, while stumbling to the kitchen and getting a water out of the fridge. Lulu checks the clock on the microwave, 4:15 in the morning.

"Did you just call my brother an ass?" Claudia Zacchara's voice came from the living room, crossing her arms.

"Sounds like it. Why?" Lulu rolled her eyes, she really hoped Claudia found a place of her own soon. Ever since Johnny's sister had moved in, the couple had done nothing but fight.

"Maybe if you weren't such a whore, he'd act right." Claudia shrugged, having no problem being blunt about how she felt-it was borderline bitch behavior.

"Claudia, why do you hate me? I've been nothing but faithful to your brother, I love Johnny." Lulu was admittedly baffled by her behavior.

"If you loved my brother so much, you wouldn't have made him go to prison for your skanky ass. I wish to God that John would just go for that Maxie girl and save himself." Claudia scowled at the blonde, advancing towards her until she was standing right in front of the young woman. Before Lulu could say anything, Johnny stumbled out of the bedroom hearing voices. Claudia reached over and forcefully grabbed Lulu's arm trapping her against the counter which was behind her, it took Johnny a few blinks of his eyes before he could fully see what was going on.

"Claudia!" Johnny shouted in surprise, just what the hell was his sister doing? Claudia grabbed a fistful of Lulu's hair, slamming her head against the counter as Lulu quickly elbowed Claudia. Lulu clatters to the floor trying to cover her head from the impact, Johnny rushed over to his girlfriend lifting her into a sitting position. Blood trickled from the side of her head, an involuntary moan of pain coming from Lulu.

"John. I…didn't know you were up." Claudia stutters over her words knowing this didn't look good on her.

"Yeah, I tend to wake up when someone hurts my girlfriend at four in the morning! Claudia, what the fuck??!! She's fucking bleeding, are you happy with yourself? Give me a paper towel or something!" Johnny's anger was incontanable, as he kept pressure on Lulu's temple with his bare hand.

"I'd rather you're little tramp dead but, I guess this will do." Claudia shrugged, reluctantly handing her brother the roll of paper towels.

"What about what I fucking want, Claudia? When has it ever been about me? You run the show. Right? I want you out of here, please." Johnny sighed trying not to lose his temper, pressing a towel to Lulu's forehead.

"John, you can't just throw me out. Where else am I supposed to go?" Claudia scoffed.

"Maybe you should have thought about that before you injured Lulu. If you can't respect Lulu, then you don't respect me. Get out." Johnny couldn't bring himself to look away from his girlfriend, trusting that Claudia could see herself out.

"You're making a mistake, John." Was all she said, before the door swung shut.

"Lulu? Can you hear me?" Johnny sighed, shaking her slightly. Johnny carried her to the bathroom, digging out the first aid kit…setting her body on the counter, before putting some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and dabbing at her temple. He placed a bandaid on it, all through this she hadn't stirred.

"Lulu?" Johnny called again, shaking her harder.

"Jesus, I'm fine." Lulu mumbled, her eyes still closed.

"I'd feel better if your eyes were open." Johnny fought a laugh.

"I'd feel better if your sister hadn't beaten me up but, here we are." Lulu slightly slurred her words, but color was returning to her face.

"Seriously, are you okay? I don't need to take you to the hospital?" Johnny cupped her face in his hands as her eyes fluttered open.

"Ew, fuck that place." Lulu cringed at the mere suggestion, sliding off of the counter in the bathroom.

"Let's go back to bed." Johnny sighed, leading them both back to the bedroom.
