Tragedy girl

XI

**Lukes POV**

I am jealous. Very. But there isn't alot i can do. I wish Jess was single but.... there's Lucas.

I sit outside by the firepit wearing all my warm clothes. Macy is snuggled up in a blanket with Jess and Jackson is somewhere around the garden taking photos. Hes crazy about photography and art.
"We have marshmellows i think!" i exclaim rushing into the house to find them. Jess follows me. I assume its to get more marshmellows before anyone else. She's a huge sweet tooth. I go into the kitchen and reach up for the marshmellows. I turn around and Jess snatches the bag from me, poking her tounge out playfully. She rips open the packet and pops a few into her mouth before handing them back to me. I roll my eyes jokingly and together we head back outside.

I notice Jess wandering around the garden in the dark. What the hell is she doing? i walk up behind her.
"What are you up to." she jumps and turns around
"Jesus Luke you scared me!" she said. I laughed quietly as i watched her.
"Im finding long twiggy stick things so we can toast our marshmellows." She explained. I nodded and started helping her.

It must have looked strange. We both crouching on the ground under a bare tree looking for sticks. We both found two each eventually. It was too dark to see properly. We stood facing eachother. We were incredibly close. I could have kissed her without needed too be more than a centre meter. I wanted to. She cleared her throat and awkwardly stepped back. Damnit. I watched as she skipped back to Macy and Jackson. Her short blonde hair swinging slightly. God shes so freaking beautiful!!

I woke up the next morning to the sound of the jug boiling. Jess was looking up at the too cupboard on her tip toes. Quickly i got off the couch to help her. Macy and Jackson were still asleep in the other lounge.
"Hey let me help you." i offered. Easily i reached on the shelf and grabbed four mugs.
"Haha thanks." She said, pouring hot water into each of them.
"Sorry i have been looking through the cupboards in stuff trying to find hot chocolate. I did eventually." She apoligised. She apoligised for everything and unnesisery things. I chuckled and tell her its fine.

At 11 am we all get into my car again. It was only supposed to be a day thing but we all ended up staying at the cottage. I didnt mind. I dropped everyone off at theirs apartments and went back to my own.

The air the apartment smelt like smoke and i noticed the oven was on with sonething burning inside. I quickly turned it off and took out the burnt cookies. I heard yelling from my mums bedroom. And her boyfriends voice as well. I live with my brother and my mum, but my mums relationship has gotten alot more serious lately. But they have been arguing more. My mum storms out of the room and into the kitchen obviously frustrated and upset. She opens the front door and yells at Mike (her boyfriend) to leave.
"Im sorry Lukey. You shouldn't-"she sniffed, holding back tears,
"Shouldn't have to see that."
I nod and go down the hallway to my room.

I hear music playing softly in my twin brothers room and open the door. He lying on his bed on too of some girl who isn't his girlfriend. I shake my head and shut the door trying to get that image out of my head. I go to my room and shut the door, throwing my stuff on my bed.
My mum is a mess at the moment. My dad passed away five years ago and just recently she got into a relationship with Mike who she met at work. She's an editor at some book publishing place-i can never remember the name.

My twin Liam is the biggest player of all time. He got kicked out of South New York high last year and now goes to a school on the other side of New York. He has a girlfriend who is captain of the cheer leading team. But they both cheat on eachother and they both know. If the biggest player and the biggest slut get together its not going to be a trusting or loyal relationship.

The next morning is Monday and i have to get ready super early so i can leave before mum or Liam. I quickly check my phone and see i got a text from Jess.
Jess: can u give me ride to school?
Me: sure i will pick u up in 10.

I pull on some plain jeans and a white shirt. I look at myself in the mirror in the hallway and decide i look decent enough. I run my hand through my hair once and go to make myself some breakfast.

I drive to Jessicas apartment with Green Day blasting through my car stereo. I turn the music down when Jess gets in the car. She gives me blank look and says.
"Are you kidding? I love Green Day!" she turns it up and we start belting out 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams'

We pull up in the school carpark. And I turn the car off. We both laugh from our performance.
"You're actually a really good singer." i tell Jess. She blushes slightly.
"I used to sing all the time before umm i got unwell...a few years ago. For some reason i have started singing more again. Its a good feeling."
"Well you're really good!" i say turning around to face her. Once again i find myself very close to her and i can't resist it. As i lean in, all im thinking of is: shes got a boyfriend. But in that moment i didnt really care. I feel our lips touch slightly before Jess quickly pulls away. I shocked look on her face.
"Th-thanks for the ride Luke." she hurries out of my car and walks briskly into school.

Shit, what did i do? what was i thinking?!?
