Chapter 8.

I woke up the next morning and Zach was still beside me. I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned to face me. "Morning", he smiled and kissed me. "Thanks for staying last night... I didnt want to be alone", I frowned. "You're aunt's going to be okay. She just got a little worse thats all. Sometimes that happens. You get worse and then get better again", he assured me. I stood up and went to the bathroom to freshen up (Id shower later). "Why? Why Lauryn?", Luke frowned as he burst into the bathroom. "Why what?", I asked puzzled.

"Why did he stay the night?!".

"Because hes my boyfriend and I asked him to".

"Did you em... You know... Um...".

"No. We didnt", I laughed. I understood what he meant but I did find it quite entertaining. "Sorry Lauryn", he sighed and walked out. I fixed my hair and then went back to my room. "Mom called. I need to go watch my sister. I'll call you later", he smiled and dropped a kiss on my forehead before walking downstairs and out of the house.

I planned to just sit and watch tv and things for the rest of the day but my happiness was shattered when Luke burst in. "Change into a swimsuit and get outside. We're having a pool party", he smirked and then walked out again. "Wait!", I yelled. A reluctant and slightly irritated Luke popped his head round my door, "Yeah?".

"What?!".

"Ugh you're such a doofus. We're having a pool party with our friends".

"Oh... Why?".

"Because I can... And I want to. Is that alright?".

"Fine", I sighed and pushed him out of my room so I could change. I decided on a pink spotty bikini and wore pale blue shorts over it that came to about a few inches above my knee. Its not that Im over weight or anything. Im just not that comfortable with my body. Im thin but I just dont like to show my legs off. Im not that kind of girl. I quickly ran the hairbrush through my hair and went downstairs. "Ugh. Why are you still here, trollop?", Tyler groaned as I walked past him in the hallway. "Trollop? Really? I see the insults havent improved any", I laughed, rolling my eyes. I heard Tyler growl something but I didnt pay attention to what it was. When I walked outside, I looked around. In the pool were Abby, Logan, Cody and Luke. Then sitting on deck chairs was Zach, Ivory and... Wait BROOKE?! "Lauryn!", Zach smiled as he made his way towards me. "I thought you were watching Sophie?", I smiled.

"I was but my dad got back early".

"Oh okay. Umm... Why is the she devil here?".

"Ivory's like the nicest person ever!".

"Ha-ha Zach. You know who I mean".

"She's one of Luke's groupies. Slightly more obsessed with him than others...".

"Yeah, no kidding".

"What do you mean?".

"She thinks Luke and I have something going on".

"Oh... Well do you?".

"What?! No! A billion times NO! Thats disgusting", I gagged. Zach smiled and led me over to a deck chair. He sat down and pulled me to sit between his legs. I lay back against his chest and blushed as I felt his abs against by back. Did I mention that he's the hottest guy in school? Everyone loves Luke more than him though... Its odd. I was then knocked out of my thoughts when water came flying out of the pool and soaked Zach and I. Mostly me though as I was infront of him. I looked down to see Logan and Cody smirking at me. To be honest I never really planned to get wet at all but I ended of diving in the water and splashing around with Logan and Cody. I noticed Abby, Zach, Ivory and Brooke had headed inside so it was only myself, Cody, Luke and Logan left outside. Luke wrapped his arms round me and held me still so that it was easier for Cody to splash me and Logan was tickling me. I was laughing and screaming at the same time. "Really Lauryn? You've got Zach, you're cheating on him with Luke and now you're trying to steal your best friends boyfriend while getting flirty with his best friend. What a slut!", Brooke growled. The boys immediately swam away from me a little and we turned to face her. "Excuse me?", I scoffed as I climbed out the water.

"You heard", she smirked. Im never usually the one to throw the first punch but this bitch seriously needed some diciplinary. Nobody else was giving it to her clearly so I felt obligated to smash the cow's face in. I heard a crunch as soon as my fist made contact with her nose. Good. Its broken. Ivory and Logan drove her to the hospital and everyone else went home.

"Sorry to ruin your party, Luke".
