SEVEN


Lucy peered out the window at the blizzard the weather-man had promised. Holding her knees closer to her chest she sighs pulling her sweater closer to her porcelain skin. Apprhensive of the news about her boyfriend, Lucy's mind held a thousand differnt possibilities of what had happened to him while he was away in Australia for a conference involving both him and his parents.


"Lucy, Peter's car has just drove in." A maid announced just before Lucy darted out the door almost knocking down the old, petite maid who collected herself from the outburst of the princess. Racing down the staircase not bothering to look up, Lucy sprinted to the old door which revealed Peter's car sitting alone on the road. Trying to contain her excitement Lucy stood on the steps awaiting Peter.


"I'll phone you once I'm finished." Lucy heard Peter announce as he opened the door revealing a tall, sleek blonde girl around Lucy's age sitting at the wheel giving Peter a peck on the lips before Peter rushed to shut the door.


As much as Lucy tried to hold it in, the pain came out like an uproar from her throat in the form of a silent scream. The tears burst out like water from a dam, spilling down her cold, flushed cheeks. Sprinting faster then she had ever before she raced into the castle falling at the end of the staircase unable to hold herself. Peter rushed in staring at the hysterical princess at the staircase who was being helped by an elder maid.


"My giddy aunt what happened?" Her father questioned as he picked up Lucy who clung for Charles protection. "Peter, was just about to leave." Lucy testified as her burned red eyes stared at Peter's sorrowful face. Once the maid accompanied Peter to the car Lucy sobbed into Charles chest, as he rocked her gently.

Days had past and not a bone in Lucy's body had moved for she captivated herself in her small bedroom only accepting meals and tea. Both William and Harry were called by Charles who had told them the news and rearranged their plans to see their sister.


As Lucy's mind was now tuned to the tv a knock banged on the door making Lucy groan with frustration. "I told you I don't want anything now." Lucy answered turning up her tv. "I have chocolates." A male voice replied that was trying to mock a women's.


Once the ginger finished his sentence he walked in grinning at the sight of his sister with hair poking out in every single possible destination. "Why are you still in bed, Luce?" Harry asked sitting at the edge of the bed pulling out a heart shaped chocolate box. Reaching across the bed Lucy snatched the box saying, "Maybe because I just broke up with Peter."


"I know Lu-" Harry began before Lucy cut him off. "From father right?" She asked as he gave a slow nod making the princess roll her eyes. "But you got to get up Lucy. The world is still here you know." Harry said smirking while pushing Lucy off her new favorite spot.


"Harry, I don't want to go!" Lucy exclaimed so all of England could hear her. But Harry made no hesitation and threw her out of bed throwing her to the ground where she sat staring at Harry with a murderous look."Be down in 10." Harry started as he made his way to the door while smirking. "Wombat and I have a surprise awaiting you." Harry lingered as he closed the door leaving Lucy to get ready.

Finding her brothers at the end of the staircase she sighed in relief seeing that they didn't change into fancy attire for Lucy too wasn't dressed up. "So will someone please enlighten me on where we're going?" Lucy asked raising her eyebrows to both her brothers.

"Well, you have to go to the car first." William hinted leading the way to the limo that was accompanied with a chauffeur holding the door for the princes and princess. "I don't like where this is going Will." Lucy confessed once William took his seat.


"Have we ever let you down before?" Harry asked his sister as the siblings were now all in the car awaiting to leave. "Do you really want me to answer that?" Lucy said making her brothers chuckle.

Minutes later William announced, "We're here Luce." as Lucy bounced off her seat checking to look at the window as it slowly revealed where they were. "Are you kidding me you guys?" Lucy exclaimed as she saw that the limo was in the McDonalds drive thru.

"Why McDonalds?" Lucy asked as William and Peter grinned. "Because we said before mum past away that we would enjoy McDonalds again but neither of us have gone." William explained before Lucy hugged them as tears slowly raced down her neck. "But no more crying today. Okay Luce?" Harry told her making Lucy chuckle about her brothers protectiveness. "Alright." She answered before the chauffeur asked each of them their oder.
