It was a very fresh morning; it had rained over the night and left a fresh smell in the air as we walked to work. I was walking with Trott and he was telling me about some stuff that I had to sort out email wise.

When we got into the office it was busy since we were a little later than normal, Hannah called Kim in and I think we all knew what they were talking about and I popped into Duncan's office. 'Hey.' I said knocking on the door. 'Morning. How was Kim and Ross?' I told him everything was fine. 'I thought I should give you a heads up, and I didn't have Ross' number.' I thanked him and bumped into Kim in the hall way, 'Everything good?' I asked her. 'All good.' She said as we walked, 'Hannah just wanted to know what was going on. I will see you lot later and if that bitch shows up let me know.' I nodded and Kim went into her office and I went into the Hat office. Ross was sat on the sofa, Smith was at his desk and Trott was stood in the middle of the room. 'We are all good people, let's get to work.' I said walking in since I could tell they were waiting for a report of what was going on. We all sat at our desks and got on with what we had to do. I had a few emails to do and I was also practicing some editing with some old footage that Ross had given me and I was trying to get my head around the editing software. Every so often a new Gif from reedit would appear on the Google doc to the side, the guys seemed to be on a Nick Cage vibe at the moment and there would be Nick Cage photo shopped into certain situations with silly facial expressions.

When lunch time came around Smith stood up and started getting ready to leave, I looked at him slightly confused, 'And where do you think you are going mister?' I asked leading back on my chair to look at him. 'Turps and I are going suit shopping remember?' He said picking up his keys from his desk. 'I knew you were going I didn't know you were going today. Enjoy your man date.' I said as he walked over and kissed me before leaving the room. 'I am guessing you two have suits?' I asked the other two and they both nodded, Trott had one from one of Katie's friend's wedding and Ross had one too. 'I am going to do a drink run since my lunch is the fridge in the kitchen.' Ross said and asked us what we wanted and Trott and I both opted for tea and Ross left too and Trott carried on with what he was doing and I carried on trying to figure out how to make a smooth transition between POVs.

Ross had been gone for some time, even when everyone was at lunch at once it wouldn't take this long, he had to have been gone for fifteen minutes at least. I took my head phones off and walked over to Trott. 'Where has he got to?' I said leaning on his partition. He shrugged his shoulders, 'He might have got caught up in conversations or something, maybe he got lost, it is Ross after all.' I rolled my eyes and shook my head before going over to see if he was stood in the corridor talking to Kim across the hall but I could see Kim's recording light was on so he wouldn't be in there. I decided to open the door and look up the corridor towards the kitchen but I couldn't see him there. I told Trott I would be back after I found him and left the room and walked up the corridor. I got to the common room and the door was closed which was not normal for lunch time. 'Hey are you looking for Ross?' Lewis asked walking down the stairs, I nodded, 'I think he is talking to some woman, she came by looking for him but when I looked through your door you were all busy so I told her she would have to come back but she insisted that she wait for him.' All the time Lewis was talking I was looking through the door since I knew who was in there. 'Cant a bitch take a message?' I uttered under my breath which I think concerned Lewis. 'Who is she? Has she been here before? Why is she here?' He asked now I am sure he was concerned, I told him some of the basics of the situation and about when she came by yesterday. 'Jesus Christ. Ok you wait here I am going to go in and say I need to borrow Ross.' Lewis said opening the door. I held the door open with my foot so I could hear what was being said. 'Sorry to interrupt but Ross your needed in the admin office I think an error had been made and you need to go and sort it out.' Lewis said in his boss voice. 'Cant you see he is busy here talking. He can sort it out later this is more important, he will be there soon.' Lucy spoke for Ross. 'I am afraid it is urgent.' Lewis insisted. 'Yeah and I am sure that your urgent problem can wait.' She said now talking to Lewis like he was dirt. I had not noticed that Hannah was stood in her door way and she looked pissed. 'Who is in there?' She asked with her arms crossed with a frown on her face. I explained to her like I did Lewis and she shook her head as we both listened on. Lewis hadn't come out yet but Lucy was talking to Ross, 'what cant you speak for yourself. You need one of your little friends to come and talk for you. Maybe that little yappy thing? Are you sleeping with her is that why she is so yappy?' I heard that and looked at Hannah before walking in. 'Listen closely you dumb ass bitch. Learn to take a hint and piss off. Nobody here wants you and never will, so use them long legs that you enjoy flaunting and walk out of that door and never come back.' I told her in a calm tone since me getting angry was what she wanted. 'I knew it you are sleeping with her, that's a step down, quite literally.' She said looking down at me. I walked close to her so we were pretty close. 'I am not going to ask again bitch. Leave.' I said now through gritted teeth. 'I am not going anywhere until Ross comes with me.' She said in a sarcastic voice. 'You should listen to her, leave right now.' Hannah came in the room and stood next to Lewis. Lucy shook her head, 'How many of these people have you got standing up for you, you have never been able to stand up for yourself.' She said looking over her shoulder at Ross who looked close to breaking down. 'What's going on?' I heard behind us all, the last thing this situation needed was to have more people. I turned around and Kim and Duncan were stood just inside the room. 'Who's is this?' Kim asked gesturing to Lucy. 'Hi I am Lucy.' She said very smugly, 'Come and join our party.' Kim's face instantly changed. 'Oh hi Lucy, what's going on?' Kim asked and I think everyone was confused. 'I am trying to make Ross here see the light and do the right thing and come with me.' Kim sat on the chair next to Lucy. 'I think he is involved with that little one there which is why he isn't coming. You have trouble with her often?' Lucy was talking like I wasn't even in the room but I had backed away and was stood with Lewis and Hannah with my fists clenched tightly. 'What Abbey? No she is amazing, she is the reason that Ross and I are together.' Kim said still looking right ahead. 'You and him are together. Jesus Christ Ross I thought you had some taste.' That was the last straw I walked over to where she was sat and half slapped , half punched Lucy across the cheek. Her head jolted and her hair covered her face. There was a gasp throughout the room as the thud of my hand on her face sounded. 'Leave. Now.' I said through gritted teeth, Kim leant over to Lucy and whispered 'Leave and never come back.' Lucy stood up holding her cheek looked around the room before walking out with her head down.
