*Stacey's POV*

It was 9pm.  I was inside getting some more things to eat and drink.  Dylan and Thomas had made a bonfire and we were all sitting beside it.  On my way back out of the kitchen, I noticed a guitar sitting in the corner.  I ran down to the beach, put the food and drink down and ran back up to the house to get the guitar.  I sat down beside Lucy and began playing around with the guitar.

"Where did you find that?" Thomas questioned. 

"In the living room." I answered, not taking my eyes off of the strings as I began playing.

"Luce, you should sing."  I smiled at Lucy and she blushed, looking down at the ground.

"No way."

"You sing?" Lucy nodded in reply to Dylan's question.

"But I havent for a long time."

"Go on Luce! I loved hearing you sing!"

"Ugh fine!! Play something then!"  I began to play and Lucy began singing.

(A/N. Listen to the song at the side)

I'm losing myself
Trying to compete
With everyone else
Instead of just being me
Don't know where to turn
I've been stuck in this routine
I need to change my ways
Instead of always being weak

I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful..today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways
So you see, I just wanna believe in me
La la la la la la la la

The mirror can lie
Doesn't show you what's inside
And it, it can tell you you're full of life
It's amazing what you can hide
Just by putting on a smile

I'm quickly finding out
I'm not about to break down
Not today
I guess I always knew
That I had all the strength to make it through

Not gonna be afraid
I'm going to wake up feeling beautiful..today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways
So you see, now, now I believe in me
Now I believe in me 

"Woahh!" Thomas and Dylan exclaimed at the same time.

"Lucy that was awesome! And Stacey you play amazingly!!" Thomas gushed.

"Thanks!" Lucy and I replied at the same time.  We looked at each other and both burst out laughing!

We continued to talk for what felt like hours!  It was only about 30 minutes though!  Lucy and Thomas were becoming closer and closer every minute.  Dylan and I hadnt told them yet about our kiss.  I think they guessed something had happened though.  I was sitting in between Dylan's legs, with my back against his head. 

"This has been awesome!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Definetely! The most fun we've had in a long time!" I agreed.

"Emm, excuse me! Am I not a fun person?!" Lucy questioned, but I could tell she was joking because she quickly began laughing.  I joined in too and soon enough all of us were in fits of laughter.  I heard a snap of a twig from behind us.  I looked behind, but saw nothing.

"Did you guys hear that?" I asked them but they all shook their heads.  Snap. It came again. 

"Okay, I definetely heard it that time." Thomas said, scooting closer to Lucy, putting his arm around her. 

Then we saw him.  A figure.  Emerge from the woods that stood beside the house.  Gareth.  He was back.  And we all, of course, knew why.

"No.." Lucy whispered, only loud enough for us to hear. "Not again."
