As Jack closes the door, Anna turns and runs toward the direction Erin ran. She spots her, but also spots Luke. Anna automatically tries to dodge him, but he spots her as well and starts toward her. Luke stops her in her tracks, his eyes flashing black as he smirks at her.

"Didn't think I'd see you again, I was quite sad when you thought you could reject me." He says cockily

Anna scoffs and tries to get around him, but he grabs her by her upper arm.

"Where do you think you're going sweetheart?" He whispers harshly in her ear, making Anna shudder.

"To get my best friend, so if you could let go of me, that'd be great" She rips her arm away from him, and walks outside.

Luke's eyes flash black, as he clenches his jaw and follows her out of the house, trying to at least get her number.

Anna continues outside, looking around for Erin, still ignoring Calum following her. She suddenly hears a quiet whimper and looks to her right to see Erin, laying on the ground, crying and holding herself. Anna automatically drops to her knees, her eyes wide as she looks at her best friend.

"Erin, hey, come on, let's go home. Come on, love. You have to get up." She gently grasps Erin's upper arm in attempt to get her up.

Erin looks at her and furrows her eyebrows at the guy with the black eyes. "A-Anna?"

Anna feels Luke staring a hole through the back of her head, she stands up, and turns around. She flinches slightly at how close he actually is to her. Anna backs away from Luke and turns to Erin, when she feels a hand on her hip.

"How about you stay with me babygirl?" Luke whispers, really close to Anna's ear, making her shudder and elbow him in his stomach.

Erin gets up, and grabs Anna's hand, running away with her as she hears a animalistic growl come from behind them. Anna and Erin continue running until Erin feels a tight grip on her upper arm, making her yelp.

Luke smirks "If I can't get her, then I'll have you," he smirks and pulls Erin into his body.

Erin tries to push away, but can't because of how small her frame is compared to his.

Anna's eyes widen "Leave her alone." she says, hoping it'll sound threatening but it sounds really weak instead.

Luke's eyes flash back to normal and he looks around, his eyebrows furrows "What.. what's going on?" he lets go of Erin and looks down at her. "Hey.. did I hurt you? Oh my god I am so sorry," he looks up to Anna "Let me make it up to you guys."

Erin slowly walks over to Anna "W-what just happened?" she asks highly confused, but Anna just shrugs, confused herself.

Luke sighs and extends his hand for them to shake "Hi, I'm Luke Hemmings, I'm really good friends with the guy throwing the party, I can get you guys invited to any party you want, I'm sorry again.."

Erin reluctantly shakes his hand "Uh.. we're pretty good friends with Jack too.. it's fine.."

Anna still looks at him warily and doesn't shake his hand until Erin hits her in the side.

Anna extends her hand and shakes his "It's fine.. but you had black eyes.. do you know what that's about..?" she asks cautiously, hoping he won't blow up.

Luke looks down, rubbing the back of his neck "yeah... it's hard to explain.. can we all go somewhere quieter?"

Erin looks at Anna, right as Anna looks to her and they both nod.
