Lucy's nightmare

Return to the UK?

Chapter 3 Return to the UK?

It was 9am and all of the GAC crew were sat in Jess' office waiting for her when talk turned as to why they had all been called in there on an emergency.

Why are we all here? Billy asked

I don't know Jay said confused.

Zak you don't think that fan went to the police do you? Nick said

I doubt it. Zak replied.

Hey Aaron what do you think? Nick asked throwing a bit of paper at him.

He had been glued to his phone since he sat down and when he wasn't on his phone his goofy smile was permanently across his face.

Huh? What are we talking about? He said as he looked up from his phone.

Awww! Someone got some last night! Lucy said

Actually no we are taking it slow. I respect her too much then to jump into bed with her on the first night.

Aaron's in love! Aaron's in love! They all sang.

Just then Jess opened the door.

Sorry I'm late people I had a bit of a late night last night. She said as she sat at her desk.

What's going on Jess? Zak asked.

I was up late last night conference calling with the TV executives at Really? TV in the UK. I'm going to cut to the chase guys they want to pay us let's say a hell of a lot of money to do a mini spin off season in the UK. But the problem is and I'm thinking mainly of Nick when I say this you guys are going to be over there for two months. I know I'm asking a lot cos spending that much time away from your family will be hard. It's not just locations either you will be doing meet and greets TV interviews and you are going to do a competition exclusive to Really TV viewers the prize being taking part in a lockdown with you.

Billy and Jay where the only ones visibly excited about this.

Zak and Lucy looked at each other.

Aaron looked distraught and Nick just put his head in his hand.

V's not going to like this. He said.

Look I know it's a lot to think about take your time but I need to know if you are up for this by the end of the week. Jess said.

The crew where in the elevator making their way out of the building.

Guys this is huge! Zak said.

I know me and Billy can't wait said Jay.

However some people might not want to go back there Zak said looking in Lucy's direction who hadn't really said a word since Jess had told them the news.

Nick and Aaron you guys do what you got to do. Myself and Lucy need time to think too.

We meet up tomorrow at our place and see if this is happening or not.

Lucy was in the bath deep in thought when she heard a small tap on the door.

Hey baby. Penny for your thoughts Zak said as he entered the bathroom.

Lucy looked over at him.

Just thinking about this UK thing.

How do you feel about it?

I think for the show its a massive opportunity and we can't afford to miss this.

Are you sure Lucy I mean going back over there it's a source of pain and negative energy for you.

I have nothing to be afraid of anymore Zak. He's dead. Lucy smiled. And besides you know how much the UK fans want us back over there.

I know I've seen the twitter feed... As long as you are good with this then I'm ok too. Zak walked over to her and kissed her forehead.

Why don't you join me?the waters still hot.

I will give it a miss I've just done my hair.

Lucy pouted. Then as Zak turned to leave she pulled him by the arm into the bath with her still fully clothed.

No No No! Lucy I'm drenched!

That's the idea.. She laughed as she looked at his black tight t-shirt now clinging to his chest.

I let you get away with murder sometimes he whispered into her ear.

He then tilted her chin toward him and kissed her.

Nick and Veronique's house

The UK? For 2 months?! What the fuck Nick!

I'm so sorry V.

You're sorry? I can manage without you ok but that little girl upstairs misses you like crazy every time you go away!

I know she does its hard for me too you know.

Daddy stop arguing!

Unknown to them Bella had come downstairs because of their shouting.

Mommy he has to go auntie Lucy and uncle Zak will need his help.

Consider us both told. Laughed Veronique.

Come here sweetie. Nick said picking Bella up.

I promise sweetie I will get you lots of presents and once I'm home we will go on holiday.

V I was thinking as well Jess said we will be getting a load of money for this I'm going to start her college fund.

Daddy please look after Auntie Lucy and Uncle Zak.

Don't worry sweetie I always do. Nick said kissing Bella's forehead.

It was the next day everybody was sat around in Lucy and Zak's front room, everybody except for Aaron that is.

Where is he? Zak asked getting impatient.

Lucy did Ashton give you her number at all? Asked Nick

She did I've already tried though her phone is switched off.

Just then Gracie's ears picked up and there was the slightest knock on the front door. Lucy got up and answered it.

Hey Lucy I don't mean to intrude.

Ashton? Of course not honey come in.

Have any of you seen Aaron? Ashton asked as she entered the room.

That's strange we where about to ask you the same thing. Zak said

I've been trying to phone him but for some reason he's not picking up guys Im worried I've done something wrong.

I'm sure you haven't honey. Lucy comforted.

Thanks Lucy so why are you all here?

Discussing wether or not to go to the UK or not as soon as Aaron gets here to make it a final yes or no. Nick said.

The answers no guys. Aaron said as he walked in the room taking everyone by surprise.

WHAT! Everyone shouted including Ashton.

Well you can go without me... Guys I've already ruined one relationship in my life I don't want another one to go down the same path.

You would stay here for me Ashton said shocked.

Yeah I really think I'm starting to fall for you.

Ashton stopped for a moment.

Aaron you don't even know me yet I can't let you put your career at risk for me.

What are you saying Ashton?

Im saying let me come with you I have family in England you dope did you think I was dumping you?

Everybody laughed as Aaron's facial expression changed to his goofy smile.

So that's settled then we can tell Jess in the morning the GAC is headed for the UK! Zak announced.
