-Michael's POV-

"Michael?" I hear someone call. I turn around to face someone who I really wish I could punch. Anger immediately flows throughout my body as I look at Ivy in disgust.

"What are you doing here?" I spit at her.

"I found out when your interview was and I wanted to give you back your phone..." she says trailing off. I had completely forgotten that she even had my phone.

"Oh, well thanks. Wait, how'd you find out when my interview was?" I ask confused and sort of angry.

"Doesn't matter. Anyway, here's your phone." she says quietly and hands it to me. I don't look at her as I take it from her and shuffle slightly as I begin to feel uncomfortable.

"Michael, I'm sorry." I guess she figured why I had been ignoring her lately.

"How could you do that to me? I thought you were my best friend." I say sadly.

"I am your best friend which is why I had to do it! Can't you see that he's poison?" she says trying to reason with me. I ignore her though and walk away. She runs after me but I abruptly turn and stop her in her tracks.

"Leave and don't talk to me. I just need some time." I say lowly and with that I spin on my heel and continue walking. I don't hear any foot steps and assume that she actually listened to me. I sigh and run my hand through my hair out of frustration. Now I have two phones considering I also had my temporary one with me. I just shrug and figure I can sell one to someone. I text Luke to let him know I was going to be a few blocks away from his company building since I had walked away from Ivy. I can't help it when my mind wanders to all the possible reasons for Ivy wanting to split Luke and I up. It just doesn't make any sense to me. I shake my head to clear out these thoughts and wait for Luke to show up. A few minutes later I see Luke's car and pulls up beside me. I get in silently and cross my arms like a child as I slump in my seat.

"So I take it the interview didn't go too well?" Luke questions.

"Oh, actually no. It went so well in fact that I was hired on the spot." I say totally forgetting that I was indeed hired.

"That's great news, baby! I'm so proud of you!" Luke says with the most fake enthusiasm I have ever heard. I smile though because I know at any other point he would have whined and complained so I'll take this. I lean over and hug Luke tightly.

"Thank you, Luke. I love you." I say and laugh lightly. "I know that must have been hard to say."

"Shut up." he grumbles. "So why the sour face before?"

"Oh, Ivy found me. She wanted to give me back my phone." I mutter as I remember the recent events.

"Wait, she was there? I should fuçking give her a piece of my mind!" Luke shouts and begins unbuckling his seat belt.

"No! You're not doing that. Just drive." I demand and put my hand on top of his to stop his actions. He grunts in response but does as I say. I can tell he's fuming but he's doing pretty well keeping it in.

"Luke..."

"No, don't. I shouldn't ruin this." he says hurriedly.

"What?" I ask in surprise. Luke seems to be catching me off guard a lot lately.

"We should be celebrating 'cause you were hired and what not." Luke suggests.

"What do you have in mind?" I curiously ask.
