the rest of the school week had passed and it was finally friday night, owen was over because we were getting ready to go to shanes house for a party he was throwing "what do i wear" i whine "nothing" owen says from my bed i throw the shirt i had in my at him and continue looking through my closet "what are you wearing" i ask "what i have on" which was just khakis and a black t shirt "can you help me please" i beg "babe i don't know what you wear to party's you always look good" he says i keep looking through my closet until i pull out ripped jeans and a nude tank top

outfit "okay let's go" "you look good" "stop it" i blush as i slip on my white vans "are we picking anyone up" i ask once we're in the car "just cole"
the rest of the ride was filled with my screaming my lungs out to songs i had on my playlist, owen did not know any of the songs but enjoyed the free concert. cole would sing me with me when a song he knew came on then owen would look annoyed and i would have to re assure him cole was both of our friends and nothing more. he had become insanely jealous lately since we had admitted our feelings for each other. i don't blame him though he was terrified i would just walk out after he had told me he was in love with me, i knew i would never do that to him but he was unsure about it which broke my heart. i just don't know what happened to get him to that many trust issues.
i didn't mind re assuring him because seeing the smile on his face afterwords was adorable as ever, weather it was just me grabbing his hand or simply running my thumb across his cheek he was always happy after. it was clear his love langue was physical touch. i didn't like being hugged or touched at all growing up, it made me feel uncomfortable but with owen i could never get enough, i loved being around him all the time.
when we arrived at shanes he had invited us all in, there were familiar faces as always and new ones from other schools of course "i am going to grab a drink, do you want anything" i ask owen "not right now, i'll get something later" "okay" i give him a smile before heading over to where all the different drinks we're set up
"hey, haven't seen you in a while" a voice says from behind me "oh hey luke" i smile "how have you been? you've been like avoiding me since the phone call" he laughs "i'm not avoiding you, i've been busy with school and stuff" "owen stuff?" "i uh yeah i guess" i had finished making my drink which was just a white claw with two added shots of vodka and i was not looking for a way out of this conversation
"i know it's not my place but he isn't a good guy, i know you probably can't see that but you're gonna regret whatever you had with him, just give me a call when you do" "you're right, it's not you're place. so don't say it" i snapped i walked away and back to owen who was mid conversation with a few kids i didn't recognize so they were probably private school.
"this her?" one of them asks "yeah" owen says "i'm chris, this is henry" they looked like twins both having brown hair and brown eyes with similar facial features "alana" i smile "pretty name for a pretty girl" henry adds "thank you" "alright we are gonna go find shane but we'll see you guys around" the two of them walk away leaving owen and i
"how long can you go away for murder" i ask "20 to life why" "just wondering" "you tryna kill someone?" "it would be a secret" "oh come one we could be a killing duo" he says "how romantic" he pulls me closer to him resting his chin on my head "oh guess what" i say "what" "i was talking to my mom abo-"
"can we talk" luke decides to interrupt me while i was talking. asshole. "we talked like five minutes ago" i say "and you walked away" "okay so i walk away and you still come up to talk to me" i had released my grip from owen and walked more towards luke "you got to say what you wanted to i didn't get to" "fine let's go talk"
i turn back to owen who looks pissed as ever "i'll be back in a second" i tell him "alana" he sighs "i'll be back, i promise" "if he lays a finger on you i swear to god" "don't worry about me" i look at luke and smirk before connecting my lips to owens "alright, let's talk"
the two off us walk out the the back yard i knew owen was following behind there was no way he would let me go off with luke alone. "what i said about owen, i know it was out of line but i'm trying to look out for you" he says "i don't need you to do that, i'm fucking eighteen, i don't need a babysitter. especially not you" "when owen was gone for five months i could have easily not come over any of the times i did" "your point is?"
"you need me" he says "i'm sorry i need you? what the fuck are you talking about" "five months without him, you were a wreck if i wasn't there who would have known what would happen" "you've got to be kidding me" i laugh "you rely on men do you not see that?" "you're an asshole" "an asshole who's better than owen" "why are you comparing" "because you don't see it" "because i don't have to, if it were between the two of you i think it's obvious who id chose"
i start to walk away before he grabbed my wrist tightly and pulled me back "let go of me" "i am trying to help you" he mutters "like hell you are" i laugh "you can continued whoring around but when you end up getting hurt don't come to me" i swing my free hand until i felt his flesh on my fist and the pain shoot through my knuckles
i felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist pulling me a few feet back "holy shit babe" owen laughs "you fucking slut" luke grunts from the ground "alright head inside and get shane" owen whispers i run inside and search the house for shane until i finally spot him
"lana what's up" he asks "there's a small chance i might have punch luke and now you're needed outside" i mutter "no way" he smiles and runs outside while i follow behind once we get out owen is on top of luke punching the shit out of him "fuck, owen stop" i yell i grab hold of his arm and attempt to pull him off of luke "alright dude lay off" shane says while laughing
he eventually gets up shaking his hands "what the hell" i say once i reach him "he's a fucking asshole" his eyes stay locked on luke who was now leaving the party "you didn't have to do that you know" i tell him "yeah i did" i pull his head down to meet my level "thank you" i press my lips to his before pulling away
"how's your hand?" he asks "mine!? how's yours?" "okay well i'm used to it, you're not" "rude of you to assume" "you're going to tell me you've punched someone?" "well, no. but now i can say i have" "that's my girl" he smirks and pulls me into a hug
i drag his hand to the bathroom inside "what are we doing in here" he asks "you have blood on you" he looks down to see his bloody knuckles "is um, luke okay?" i ask "he'll be fine"
"and you?" "he hit me a few times but i'll be alright" "i'm sorry" i sigh "he had it coming one way or another"
i wet a cloth and gently go over his hand "would you ever teach me how to fight?" i ask "yeah of course"
