Queen of New York

A Safe Place

Luke's POV
I'm here alone inside of this broken home

Everything is a mess. All around us is drama.

Jack and Reni broke up? Camille and Jack are together? Reni and Keisha are out to get Calum? Calum kissed Quinn? Michael kissed Quinn?

Don't even get me started on what's going on with Julie and Michael. Nobody really knows.

It seems like every single guy here has kissed Quinn at least once.

Luckily, Hanna and I have completely avoided all of that. We don't need any of that drama. All we want is to be happy.

Normally, we end up alone in our apartments. Occasionally, Ashton comes over and we'll play a board game.

"Do you think everything will turn out okay?" Hanna asked me, turning over from her side to look at me.

I paused the movie. "Hopefully. But knowing the drama this school gets into... It might not. But hey, we got everything figured out before graduation last year. We should figure it out before the end of summer, right?" I assured her.

She sighed. "Summer is over in a week, Luke. Julie's been gone for two months. All of this has been going on for two months."

My eyes widened. "It's been two months already?"

Hanna nodded. "I don't think Julie is coming back for her Sophomore year."

I raised my eyebrows. "There's a sophomore year?"

"Luke, this is a four-year college."

"What? Since when has this been a four-year college?"

"Am I the only one who knows anything around here?" Hanna exclaimed, suddenly seeming exasperated, but smiled.

Suddenly, I got an idea.

I sprung up from the couch, almost throwing Hanna of the couch.

"We need to get Julie back for her Sophomore year!" I exclaimed.

"Um, okay. Why?" Hanna asked, not getting what I going at.

"If we get Julie back for her Sophomore year, she'll be back with Michael. If Michael and Julie get back together, everyone else will get back with who they belong with. Not sure why that's how it works, but that always seems to be how it goes."

Hanna shrugged. "Yeah, I guess you do have a point. But how do you plan on getting Julie from New York back to California?"

I smiled. "I'm Luke Hemmings. I'll figure it out."

Hanna laughed at me. "You got this, Mr. Hemmings. "

A/N: Cute fluffy with some plot development yay!

Hanna and Luke shall be my drama relievers. They will give you fluff to distract you from the drama of this story.
