Lucy's POV

I stretched and woke up.. Not to be alone in the room.

I saw- the horrors- a GUY BESIDE ME.

I screamed.

Turns out the guy was Lockwood.

Duh. Who else would it be?

At my screaming, he also woke up, looking slightly dazed.

"I can explain-" he said when I stopped him.

"Lockwood, this is getting out of control. I didn't even know you- well, I don't know you, and you're already sleeping in my bed," I said, too angry to be embarrassed.

"I'd like to.. Have a time out for a while," I said.

"What do you mean?" He asked, the sleepiness completely gone.

"I'd like to move out from this house for a while. Just for a while, please. I can't live here anymore,"

"It's all because of me, right?" He asked desperately.

Yes.

"No, not really,"

"I get it," he said and went out of the room.

I sighed.

I was right. We both needed a time out for a while.

*********************************

"Where are you going?" George asked.

"To Scorpius, he's the only one who'd accept me. Rosie also said its fine if I crashed at theirs for a while, at least until my mind is settled," I explained.

Lockwood hadn't come out of his room.

"Good bye lads, I'll be back soon!" I said as I got on a bus taking me to Scorpius' home.

************************************

"Scorpius, Rosie, I'm so sorry for causing discomfort.."

"Lucy, you're my best mate," Scorpius said.

"What's ours is yours," Rosie said kindly.

"Thank you so much, both of you," I said.

"And Rosie cooks well!" Scorpius yelled from the couch.

Rosie and I laughed as she led me to the guest room.

I didn't know flats could have guest rooms, but I guess I was mistaken.

"Nice house," I said to them

"Make yourself at home," Rosie said, smiling.

Aww. Scorpius was lucky to have her.
