Chapter 3

These past couple of weeks has gone by so fast. The morning after I Skyped Luke, I woke up with my Macbook Air next to me in bed and a sweet text from Luke on my phone. Apparently, I fell asleep while talking to him so he ended the call to let me sleep.
After talking with Luke, I realized that I should talk to Brandon about our problems but every time I try, he just walks away and ignores me again. It has been like that for about 2-3 weeks now. I know, I really have to talk to him but won't let me.

Luke and I have become closer and closer and by now, it feels like I've known him my whole life. He's one of my best friends now, and he knows pretty much everything about me. Well, not everything, at all but most of it.

It's now October 31st and I've been back in school for about 5 or 6 weeks. Nothing has changed, other than my feelings. The more I'm with Brandon, the more I get pissed at him. He still ignores me and It gets more frequently. It's annoying me so freaking much but I have to learn to live with it.

Tonight is the annual Halloween party at Tom's house. He has a mansion so the party is always at his house but I really don't mind.

My thoughts get interrupted by the bell ringing to lunch break. I sigh and get my bag before walking to the cafeteria. When I get there, I immediately sit at our usual table. The populars have their own "section" in the cafeteria. We have the best tables, the best chairs and we get the best food. Even though we get the best food, it's still pretty bad. It's still the disgusting cafeteria food but atleast we get it warm. I always have my own lunch with me 'cause I won't risk my health.

An arm is wrapped around my shoulder and I see Brandon sitting down next to me. I roll my eyes and scoop away from him. He frowns and scoops closer to me again. I sigh and keep eating my food in silence.

"Hey Babe, what's wrong?" He asks. I mutter a 'nothing', before taking a gulp of my water, sitting it down afterwards.

"Babe don't be like that. Why have you been like that lately? Are you on your period or something?" He laughs as our friends sit down at the table. They start laughing a bit too and at that moment I'm at my breaking point. I take my bottle of water, unscrewing the cap and pour it over his head.

"You are such a jerk Brandon, I can't believe it!" I yell at him. The whole cafeteria is now quiet and staring at me. I throw the bottle at him, hitting him in face and storm out of the room. They are probably laughing at me right now. I run down the halls with tears down my face. I end at my locker and slowly slides down at it, crying. He's such a jerk and I can't believe he would embarrass me like that. Yes, I might be on my period and extra sensitive but it's been like this for days now. I'm so happy that it's friday but I still have to go to the party tonight.

I decide to call Luke and talk to him. He can calm me down. I pick up my phone, quickly finding his contact named Luke the Penguin. I push the call button and waits for him to pick up. After several beeps it goes to voicemail. I start to sob and breath faster. I try to calm myself down but without luck. Suddenly, some muscular arms are wrapped around me and I turn my head to see Brad. I turn around and buries my face in his chest. Brad is my best guy friend but he's also like a brother whenever Caleb's not around.

"Your brother is a jerk." I say after couple of minutes with tear stains down my cheeks. A smile breaks out on both of our faces.

"Don't you think I know? At least you can run away from him. I have to stay with him 'till one of us moves out." He laughs and runs his hand up and down my arm in a soothing rhythm. I soon relax in his arms.

"Do you want to ditch the rest of the day? We can go to my house and watch some movies before the party?" He asks. I nod and quietly says "Can we stop by mine? I have to get some stuff so I can get ready." He smiles and nod his head before standing up. He reaches out his hand to help me up. I take accept it and pull myself up. I quickly embrace him in a hug and he hugs me back.

"Thank you." I say in a whisper. He doesn't reply, he just hugs me tighter before letting go and lead me to his car.

After a couple of hours watching movies without Brandon coming home, I decide to get ready. Brad is still sitting on the couch watching movies. Boys doesn't always use a lot of time on their appearance and that can be a good thing so us girls can get the bathroom faster and for a longer time. I pick up my bag and goes to the bathroom. I decide to take a quick shower. I've got a lot of stuff since I'm here often because of Brandon.

I wash my body, avoiding my hair because I don't have time for that. Washing my body, I pick up my Strawberry scent shower gel from The Body Shop. I shave, like everywhere, and turn off the water before wrapping a towel around my dripping body. I quickly dry my body, putting my undergarment on. I pull out my french braid that I made early to get some loose, natural waves. I ruffle it a bit before I get satisfied with the way my ombré hair is flowing down my back. I then pick up my makeup bag and start applying the necessary, concealer, powder, eyeliner and mascara. I actually think that my eyebrows look decent today, so I let them be as they are. I pick up my tight fitting black dress that's cut on the middle of my thighs. As I'm satisfied with my look, I see that it's 8.24. The party started at 8 so we'll be fashionably late. I collect all of my stuff and run down the stairs to meet a handsome looking Brad, looking at his phone. He hears me footsteps and looks up at me, eyes widen.

"Wow, you look great Sky!" He says with a smile. "Gonna make my brother jealous tonight?"

"Thank you." I say with a giggle. "And no. I don't think it's fair. Sure we're fighting but I'll not risk cheating on him. You know how I am when I'm drunk." I remind him. I am pretty loving when I'm drunk and I won't risk kissing anyone who isn't Brandon.

He nods before opening the door.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

As we take the first step inside, the smell of sweaty teenagers, alcohol and smoke immediately hit my face. I scrunch my nose in disgust before going to the kitchen to get something to drink. I push through the crowd of sweaty bodies and gets to the kitchen, taking a red cup of cherry vodka. I take a sip, relaxing a bit at the taste of cherry.

The party is pretty boring. I haven't seen Brandon yet and I really have to talk to him. By now, I've had a couple of drinks som I'm probably kinda tipsy. I stumble around in the big living room where sweaty teenagers are dancing and grinding on each other. I eagerly try to find Brandon, having a need to make out with someone. I stumble through the crowd trying to find a couch. I finally get through, but the sight that I'm met with breaks my heart immediately. On the loveseat I see a boy and a girl making out but it's not any boy and girl.

It's Brandon and Piper.

I feel my eyes starting to swell up with tears. I run as quickly I can. I push through the many drunk teenagers, trying to find a way out of here.

I finally find the door, rushing out of it. I start running down the street 'till I'm sure that I'm lost. I stop up, crying. I just can't hold it in anymore.

Why would he do that to me? Has he done it before? Why right in front of me? He knew I would be at the party. Did they do it on purpose just to hurt me?

My mind is running wild, and I do the only thing I can think about at the moment.

"Hallo?" Says a voice through me phone.

"Luke. Help me"

Dam dam daaaaaam.

Cliffhanger, sort of, kinda, not really...

I DON'T EVEN KNOW!

LUKE AT RESCUE!!
