"Irwin. Someone is here to pick you up." A rough looking police man says, I hesitantly stand from the bench I was sitting on along with Harry and Stella.

"Bye guys." I say quietly, Harry grins at me and I look at Stella who has her eyes shut, she's wrapped in a jumper the police woman gave her when she protested about not having any clothes on, I on the other hand was too afraid to open my mouth. "Look after her okay? Make sure she doesn't get in any more trouble." I say lightly and Harry nods

"She'll be okay. I'll see you soon, yeah?" He questions and I nod

"Irwin." The police man says with force and I quickly roll my eyes at Harry before making a move. Once I'm out of the room I'm stood face to face with Luke and I automatically feel ill.

"Okay, so can I see your I.D. please?" The person behind the desk asks Luke and Luke tears his eyes away from me to find the plastic card he needed.

"Okay Miss Irwin, you're free to go." The person says and I nod before walking closer to Luke and he eyes my body.

"Why aren't you wearing clothes?" He asks me as we both leave the building, the sun automatically hits my skin and heats it up to my delight.

"I uh... I was taken away like this." I say before scrunching my eyebrows together, thinking about how stupid I sounded "I don't suppose you have like a hoodie or something in your car..." I say, we continue walking across the parking lot and I struggle to catch up with Luke's long strides

"I probably have something." He says, his jaw is clenched when I look up at him so I don't say anything else.

When we get to his car I get in and listen as he makes his way to the back, he moves a few things about and then he opens my door which scares me half to death before throwing a black jumper on my lap and then I watch as he makes his way around the front of the car and gets into the driving side.

He speeds out of the car park and I fidget nervously

"So you didn't tell my dad what was happening did you?" I ask and Luke stops in the traffic

"Nope. I told him I had to go do something in town and I would be back later. He's in a pissy mood because of you though." I frown

"I lost track of time." I defend

"You're really not as smart as I had you down to be." Luke mutters and I scoff

"What is that supposed to mean?" I question defensively

"I mean first you go back to a strangers house and the next you're going to the beach and getting drunk with the dude?"

"He's not a stranger. You don't even know him."

Luke drives forward a little and I look at him

"Whatever. Are you looking to go home or will I drop you off at Stella's?" Luke asks, his knuckles turn white from gripping the steering wheel too hard and I roll my eyes at how tense he is

"There's no point bringing me to Stella's she won't be home yet, plus I need my phone and stuff." I say

"Which is where?" Luke asks

"Matt's house." Luke takes a glance at me

"You seriously want me to bring you to his house?" I nod

"Yup. Take the next right."

"It's just there on the left." I say, pointing to the familiar house

"Want me to come in with you?" Luke asks, he hadn't spoken to me for the remainder of the car journey until now and I take a look at him

"No." I say harshly before jumping out of the car, I pull the sleeves of the jumper over my hands and quickly make my way to Matt's house, I knock hesitantly on the door and a few seconds later it opens revealing the face I didn't want to see.
