The only boy I can't have

Eleanor

Why did I find Luke's jumper so comforting?

And why when he placed his hand on my lower back as we entered the party did I get butterflies?

I looked up at him with a smile but he wasn't looking at me - his eyes were stuck on someone, a boy who looked exactly like him but less handsome and more tatty.

Clearing his throat luke said gruffly "Fuck I've got to go - call me if you need and I'll come back in like 10"

Before I could reply he was sucked into the crowd.

The furniture was pushed to the side once again and there was a massive sound system balancing against the wall blasting music that made my ears ring.

I shuffled my way through the many people there praying to make it to the kitchen without a scratch.

A rookie called Reuben was serving drinks. Very unusual for a college party but it was to make all the drinks safer for people.

Apparently some girl got drugged here 3 years before and they were all determined to make sure it didn't happen again.

"Vodka coke please" I smiled.

"Yoooo little Eleanor" turning around to benjis drunk face was a cute sight.

"Hey Benji how are you" I said politely ignoring the fact he was talking to my boobs and not me.

"I'm good I'm good - I just lost my puck bunny for the night sooo" he stumbled out the kitchen loudly making a scene.

Yet Luke was still on my mind - I should go find him.

Thanking Reuben for my drink and headed back to the party. After awkwardly squeezing through the crowd I finally got to Luke. His back was tensed and he seemed to be shouting at the guy in front of him.

I placed a hand on his back and he swivelled round with creased eyebrows and an angry expression.

His face softened when he realised it was me.

The Luke look alike stared me up and down with a cheesy smirk on his face.

"Damn blondie can I take you home tonight and show you what a real man looks like" winking at me.

My face turned red. Ew.

How dare he speak to me like that.

I went to reply but before I could Luke had grabbed the fake Luke and pinned him to the wall.

"Don't fucking talk to her like that ok? As if she would ever even think about you." Luke hissed inches away from his face.

Jacob ran up to him and whispered something in his ear.

"No man you don't understand what he was saying about.." his eyes flashed to me.

Jacob grabbed his shoulder and whispered again.

Luke dropped fake Luke "leave" he said avoiding eye contact.

"Okay man! Remember what I said blondie the offer is still on the table beautiful"

Oh dear.

CRUNCH

I cringed at the sound of Luke's fist against  b tec Luke's cheek.

Luke was on top of fake Luke and was punching endlessly pounding him face over and over and over.

Suddenly they were up each taking punches and kicks.

I covered my eyes so I could only hear the bone crunching sounds and the groans and breaths of anger escaping there lips.

Taking a look through my hands my eyes followed luke who seemed to be winning.
