*WARNING: THE FIRST FEW PARAGRAPHS OF THIS CHAPTER WILL SPOIL THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE "THE NOTEBOOK"*

"Em calm down it's okay." Luke said as he held me. I was bawling my eyes out uncontrollably. Allie and Noah just died and he was seriously trying to consul me!?

"It won't b-b-be okay-y-y because they're dead-d-d-d!" I stuttered as I cried harder. Luke sighed. He obviously didn't know how to handle this. I continued to cry my heart out on his shoulder.

"Babe its alright, they're fine both of those old people walked away after that scene and went home with all the money they got paid for acting and they're probably chilling on a beach or something." He said in hopes of cheering me up. That did make me feel a tad better and I was able to control my sobs.

I don't know why I was always this effected when I've seen the movie more times then I care to count. It was one of my favorite movies but it crushed me every time.

I was in denial and each time I watched it I had false hope that the ending might be happier. It was stupid but I couldn't help it, I was an optimist.

"Okay, I'm good we can watch another movie now." I said trying my best to stop crying. Luke shook his head.

"You're obviously still upset and it breaks my heart to see you cry, even if its only over a movie, what do you need to be okay again?" He asked with concern. That made me smile a little, he really cared.

"Ah you smiled!" He said with a smile of his own. I leaned closer to him and kissed him.

"I swear I'm okay this happens every time I watch this movie." I laughed. I sniffed and wiped away my last few tears. I probably looked crazy because I'm positive my mascara was running but I didn't care. Luke still looked at me like I was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.

"You know I don't think I could of handled losing you." Luke admitted as he brushed a stray hair behind my ear. I smiled a genuine smile.

"Look at you, getting all sappy." I laughed, Luke laughed with me.

"Okay what's next?" He asked me.
"Its up to you, I picked the last one." I said stuffing a few pieces of popcorn in my mouth. Luke nodded then put his finger on his chin as he contemplated the perfect movie.

"I recommend a love story, any romance movie is great." I suggested. Luke just rolled his eyes.

"No thanks." He laughed. I loved his laugh it was so hearty and happy. Suddenly his eyes lit up.

"I got it! Let's watch--" Luke was cut off when someone turned the lights on.

"What the fuck, we're watching a movie." Luke said turning to see who interrupted us. It was Ryder. He stood there with a super pissed expression.

"What is she still doing here, its fucking 2 in the morning." He yelled. Luke rolled his eyes.

"Will you get over her being around already, Emily's not going anywhere so piss off." Luke said turning away from Ryder.

"I would love to leave you two to it but we have a situation." Ryder said his jaw clentched as he looked at me.

"What situation?" Luke asked, he was clearly still pissed. Ryder sighed dramatically.

"I can't tell you with her around." Ryder said glaring at me.

"I know shes your new flavor of the month and you love her so dearly and shit but we have a fucking oath that you blatantly ignored so unlike you who just doesn't give a fuck I refuse to compromise our gangs intelligence. So please meet me in the conference room with the rest of the gang asap and don't bring her." Ryder spat before turning around and storming out of the room. Why did he hate me so much? Luke took a deep breath and put his head between his hands. I patted him on the back.

"Hey its fine. You go be badass and I'll just chill here and watch a movie then we can watch yours when you get back okay? Its alright, you have responsibilities I get it." I smiled. Luke sat upright again.

"Okay but don't go anywhere I'll be back as soon as we're done." He promised.

"Okay." I said with a smile. He kissed my head and gave my hand a squeeze before he left.

I scrolled through the thousands of movie choices and opted for Bring It On. This was another one of my favorite movies. I got through Bring It On 1 and 2 before I heard someone come into the room.

"Well took ya long enough, I finished 2 whole movies." I said laughing as I turned to face him. The person standing there wasn't Luke, it was Bryce.

"Oh hey Bryce." I said offering a smile. He smiled back.

"Hey, so I can't stay long but I came to tell you Luke said he won't be done till probably 6 and he was too busy to tell you himself so he sent me but I also have to go so you can hang out down here if you want or I can take you to his room or something." Bryce offered. My heart sank at that. I really wanted to watch movies with Luke.

"Um actually can you take me to the kitchen, I kinda feel like cooking." I said. Bryce gave me a weird look before smiling.

"Of course, right this way." He said in a British accent. I laughed before following him out of the room.

The kitchen was really close to the basement, where the theater was.

"What are you going to whip up?" Bryce asked as I walked into the kitchen. Once again it took a second for my shock to die down. The kitchen was so beautiful.

"Um I'm not really sure, I have a recipe board on Pinterest so I'll look on there and see what I can find." I said smiling at him.

"Also is there anything anyone is allergic to?" I asked turning to face Bryce who was on the other side of the counter. He thought about for a second before responding.

"Nope." He said. I smiled again.

"Alright thanks." I said giving him a thumbs up.

"No problem, see ya later." He said giving me a small wave before leaving the kitchen.

I went on my phone to find a recipe and noticed the time was 4:11. Who cooks at this time?

I found a recipe for peanut butter brownies that looked so good. And another plus besides the fact that they're brownies is that they don't require an oven because they're no bake!

For some reason I was wide awake and super hyper the last thing I needed was sugar but what's the fun in being rational?

I started by putting on my music. Then I immediately got to work by gathering the ingredients and materials. Making this dessert was relatively easy since it really just involved the mixing of stuff and then laying it flat in a pan.

By 5 I was done making them and tried one. They were pretty good but I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter so that may be why I don't really care for them. I waited for Luke to get done for what felt like forever I kept falling asleep at the counter. I'm pretty sure eventually I just passed out because waiting for Luke is the last thing I can recall happening.
