Lucy was engaged in conversation with Richard and James, Richard mentioned he was from the same town and had attended the same school as her. Despite this connection, her attention was frequently drawn to James, who had spoken little throughout their interaction. Observing the subtle exchanges between Lucy and James, Richard excused himself and joined the others gathered by a nearby tree. As he left, Lucy acknowledged his attractiveness, yet it was James's presence that evoked a stronger reaction within her, her nerves tightening as she met his gaze.Lucy found James appealing—not only for his personality, but for an additional quality she couldn't quite name. She was drawn to him in an inexplicable way. His blue eyes were strikingly intense, and a small scar on his chin contributed to his distinguished appearance. She had this overwhelming desire to run her fingers over it. Standing a at least a full foot taller than her, he was a noticeable presence she could not overlook.Lucy and

Emma’s and Robert’s point of viewEmma sat quietly watching lucy by the lake. As always, she was in a world of her own gazing up at the stars. Nicola and Alex were sat at a bench engrossed in their own conversation. Emma slowly walked over to Lucy; she smiled down at her and quietly sat next to her leaning her head on her shoulder. She was her best friend. She knew without a doubt that lucy was thinking of her hometown, it was Lucys go to. Living in her past. Lucy glanced up and looked over at Nicola and Alex, Emma smiled she was always checking everyone was ok. Even when they all went out clubbing Lucy was the one to protect them all. The sober one. Watching everything and everyone.Emma looked up towards the park when she heard a noise, signing when she saw Robert in the distance. He had fancied him for some time. He was her dream guy. Having known him for some time yet never managed to find the courage or the confidence to take things further than their friendship. She signed again

Over the coming years the group became amazingly close and had become strong firm friends. They pretty much did everything together, they had just had a fabulous holiday last year. The eight of them were inseparable. Recently they had all gone down to Salisbury, the town Lucy and Richard had both moved from. Salisbury was famous for its cathedral and Stonehenge. They were of course more interested in the night clubs that they were the tourist attractions. They went to a few on the town’s hotspots, The chapel, The mill and the N&N bar. It was like a different world compared to the sleepy village of Thetford.Lucy had taken great pride in showing everyone around and the places that she had lived and grown-up in. The pubs her parents had owned, and the council estate they had moved to when they no longer had the pubs. They had a couple of drinks in the Hogshead, it was one of the pubs she had lived in and even though it had been renamed the Malsbury arms, it was always going to be the H

James hung up the phone, shaking his head. He wished Lucy would move in with him, he’s place wasn’t much but it was so much better than living at home where she was always walking on eggshells.

He knew it was time to bring up the subject of moving in with him again soon.He picked up his mobile again and found Emma in his contacts, he hit dial and waited for her to pick up. “Why are you ringing me again?” He laughed at the way she answered the phone. “I missed you Bestie!” Emma laughed, “Flattery”James relayed his and Lucys plans and checked that Emma was happy to join them. Emma jumped at the chance and said she would see them shortly. Hanging up the phone she ran upstairs to get ready. James shook his head, that woman was like a whirlwind. He selected Roberts Number next and dialled out.“

Emma was sat in her flat, Having not long woken up; her hair was tied back and her legs tucked under her as she sat on the bed, with the sun streaming through the open window, she loved her small flat it wasn’t anything fancy, but she was on her own out in the world. She picked up My Bear, her Teddy.“I’m not that boring to talk to am I Bear?” She spoke to him, Bear didn’t answer, “If only men were like you” she sighed “Didn’t answer back” she chuckled. She sat Bear down in front of her as he basked in his non- human glory. He was a Black Bear with a blue hoodie; Robert had brought him for her when they went to build a bear on a date. “So where was I?

It’s about time something new came out, something that blew peoples socks off.” Bear sat there in silence, “As much as I love you Bear you are no match
