Emily's Point of View

Luke picked up his bag from the ground, only to place it in front of his feet as he plopped down on the edge of my bed.

"We're gonna use that again?", I asked.

He looked at me with confusion written over his face; "What? Rapunzel?".

"Yes!".

He shot me a wide grin: "Well! We have been over this; once you've joined me in an adventure I'll consider stopping".

"And if I don't?".

"You might want to sit down then, Rapunzel. It's story time!", he yanked my arm and pulled me next to him on the bed. Obviously I flew in the air on my way to the comfy matress, as he was way stronger and it was done in 0.2 seconds.

"Okay, tell me", I eventually gave in.

"Good! There was once a handsome prince named Luke Hemmings".

"Wait? Did you said story or bullcrap?".

"Hush", he told me while putting his large hand over my lips. Thinking that was supposed to keep me from talking. "So this handsome prince named Luke Hemmings had a good friend. Her name was Rapunzel".

"I'm in the story too?".

"Rapunzel was cursed with ugliness".

"I hate you".

"But it was okay, because the handsome prince Luke was going to help the ugly good friend", he said. "He fought a thousand dragons, went into million caves and rejected billions of ladies, just so he could continue his journey".

"Oh, gosh".

"BUT!", he shouted while pointing his index finger in the air: "Luke the handsome prince found information about a very special stone that makes the ugly, beautiful again".

He dipped his hand into his bag and took out the right thing he needed. Revealing a tiny box which was packed neatly in purple wrapping paper. "The handsome prince still had to buy it for 72 dollars tho".

"You remembered?", I asked, referring to my birthday.

"I wouldn't dare to forget". He took off the lid from the box and the first thing I noticed was the emerald green stone in the middle of the box, but soon I saw silver chains coming out of the end.

"A necklace?".

"An amulet!".

I looked carefully while he took it away from its comfy cushion. Struggling to get the opening in his fingers.

Luke was such a dick to me somtimes and I know that I haven't been the nice one either. But this necklace or amulet or whatever it was; this was the most beautiful thing anyone had ever gotten me. Not even my parents ever thought my birthday through this way.

Stratch that; especially not my parents.

I was snapped out of my thoughts whenever Luke placed his cold hands on my bare shoulders, to get the necklace attached around my neck.

"There", he exclaimed: "do you like it?".

"Depends. Did you steal it?".

"No".

"Then I love it. Thanks".

"Don't mention it, princess", he chuckled loudly. I chuckled along, but the sound of two happy people, died out soon.

"Tell me! Am I pretty yet? Cause if the amulet doesn't work, I want a refund".

"Yeah, I think you can show your face to the world now. and no refunds!".

"Whatever".

It was awfully quiet for the rest of the night. Luke decided he needed to lay down, which he did on my matress. He left a space open for me where I layed down on too.

"So did you really fight millions of dragons?".

"I did! But the ladies were the hardest thing", he said with an exhausted sigh at the end.

"Ofcourse they were. So! Can you maybe tell me where you're going next week? Because I don't think I am going to handle waiting for another week to hear it".

"Then you might want to go to an institution".

"What? What is that supposed to mean?".

I got up from the bed to sit straight and look at him from above.

"It means that I'm not going anywhere next week. Or any week".

"What? Why? Why? How? That doesn't sound anything like you. That is not...you!".

"Well, it's going to happen anyway".

"I am going to need an explanation for that".

Luke slowly pushed himself off of the matress too and looked at me with his ocean blue eyes.

"Because there is nothing for me to do anymore. I finished my bucket-list".
