Sorry for mistakes, I'm on my phone:)

Lucy's p.o.v

"Lucy?" A quiet voice whispers in my ear. I gently open my eyes and adjust to my surroundings. It's still dark. I look up to see a silhouette of curly haired guy standing in front of me.

"Jay?" I whisper, sitting up a little.

"Come on, you fell asleep. Go to bed." My mind instantly flies back to only a few hours ago when Nathan grabbed me.

"Uh.. I-I can't." I stutter a little by accident.

"Why?"

"Don't worry." I smile, even though he can't see me. I feel a weight leaning over me, which is obviously Jay and the table lamp switches on. The light instantly burns my eyes.

"Why are your eyes red and puffy? What happened when I went to bed Luce?" I shrug and look down to my entwined hands in my lap. "Lucy?" He says sternly.

"I doesn't matt-"

"Lucy."

"He.. Um, I'm sure he didn't mean it but he.." I look down at my arm that he grabbed and widen my eyes to the bruise that has formed. Jays eyes follow me eye site to my arm and I hear him gasp slightly. He takes my arm in his and he examines my arm a little.

"Did he do this?" I nod slightly. "What a fucking twat. I bet he won't even remember in the morning, he was that wasted." He sighs running his hands through his head of curls. "Come on, sleep in my room tonight." He smiles, helping me from the couch. I nod and follow him up to his room, carefully walking in.

Jay walks over to the bed and jumps in. He then pats the other side of the bed to indicate for me to join him.

I feel a little hesitant whether I should or not because I slept in with Tom last night and look where that got me. "Come on, I don't bite." He jokes. I walk over to the bed and jump under the covers, placing my head on the pillow. Jay lays down facing the other way from me, towards the window.

"Lucy?" I hear him mutter.

"Yeah?"

"Nathan wouldn't hurt you intentionally," and with that, I let sleep take over me.

Nathan's p.o.v

"Urg, my head." I groan, sitting up from my bed looking over to the window that allowed the bright light in. Ignoring the blinding sunlight, I carefully get up and down to the bathroom, ignoring the fact that it feels like someone is hitting my head over and over with a fucking hammer.

I jump in the shower real quick, doing my business. Once out, I wrap the towel around my waist and quickly towel dry my hair with another.

A wolf whistle was heard from behind me once I walk out of the bathroom, I laugh turning around to me greeted by Max.

"Fuck off.." I laugh.

"what? I'd probably turn for you.." Max joked.

"Creep." I laugh, he just smirks and quickly grabs my ear between his thumb and forefinger before chuckling and walking away.

I walk into the bedroom, feeling the headache easing. Lucy was standing there smiling.

"Morning!" I chime.

"Hi!" She answers quietly. I furrow my eyebrows at her.

"You ok?" She nods.

"I'm going to get some breakfast."
