Just you and I

chapter 16: the party

After a long 30 minutes later Lucas comes out of the bathroom covered in scratches and bite marks while holding a wet cat. Stradias runs straight underneath the bed and I start laughing.

"What's so funny?" Lucas asks

"Oh nothing just the fact that you just totally got your ass kicked by a cat" I say while still laughing

"Hey, in my defense that cat has some serious issues especially with water, it despises it" Lucas says

"Okay well your mom said that she would help me get ready for the party and so while I'm doing that you should do the same" I say while getting off the bed.

"Okay I will please shut the door on the way out" Lucas asks

"Will do see you in like 20 minutes" I say while shutting the door behind me.

I walk downstairs and go into his mom's room she's already waiting  with makeup and a bunch of clothes.

She likes to test certain clothing items on me because she says I have a really good body type.

I'm not too big but I'm also not too small. In her words I am just right.

Then again I do not remember walking into a Goldilocks in the three bears story book. I still like that she wants to do these things with me.

Don't get me wrong my mother loves to do these kind of things, but she's always too busy with my brother and my dad is well rarely home.

I barely see him when I am home and when I text him he always replies, which is good, but at the same time I'd like to see him more.

His mom does my hair, she curled it. Usually I don't like curls but these and look bad and then she did my makeup a nice natural look.

She asked me which dress I would like to wear and when I saw the black one she was holding I just couldn't help myself.

I put on the black dress, do one more check in the mirror and realize I look good. I mean my confidence is really high right now and I don't know why but I hope it says like this for the rest of the night.

She takes pictures and then she calls Lucas down so that she can take a picture of us together.

He comes downstairs wearing a gray t-shirt and black ripped jeans and and a pair of black shoes.

He looks really good but I don't say that not that my eyes aren't already just saying it for me.

His mom asks Lucas to come closer to me and to put his hand on my hip. We both look at her in a bit of confusion but then again we just do as she says and take the pictures.

She says we look so cute this makes me blush. Or maybe it's the fact that his hand is really warm and I really like it where it is placed.

I shake the thoughts out of my head and follow Lucas out to the car we drive to Alex's house and already there is a bunch of cars and people.

Some from other schools others are adults that are way too old to be hanging out with teenagers and most of them are from our school.

We had inside and I try to find Alex the best I can. It's not hard considering she's dressed in all glitter. She's shines right through the crowd like a disco ball.

I tap her on her shoulder and get her attention we say hi and then she points us towards the drinks.

I asked Luke I said he would like some jungle juice and he says yes. I grabbed two cups and filled them up with the sweet burning liquid.

I sip sip on my drink while Lucas chugs his. If I'm going to be honest he's been acting really weird since we left the house.

More quiet than usual and kind of sad. I grab his hand and take him to a quiet corner. He follows.

"Are you okay?" I asked

"To be honest no I am definitely not okay" Lucas says

"This morning I woke up to not only that email but what I didn't tell you is that I also woke up to a breakup message" Lucas says with a frown

"She says and I quote ("I'm so sorry to do this to you, I know we had a good thing going, but I really like someone else and if I'm going to be honest, I cheated on you on multiple occasions and the guilt is just getting to me, so I'm deciding to break up with you. Thanks for all the wonderful times and I do wish you the best, love always Abby)"

I can't believe she did it that way. Over text of all things don't even have a decency to do it in person? I don't dare tell him about the voicemail I got I just hold him because he looks like he needs a hug.

We say like that for a good 3 minutes and then we go back to drinking. We both drink quite a bit and in the process of drinking I also reveal that Tucker and I were no longer a thing.
