Tragedy girl

XVII

**Eleanors POV**

Its bad enough i have a painful hangover but at like 10 am Jess comes and starts yelling at me. I knew it was going to happen before she came. I knew she was there watching. I feel terrible but i couldn't help myself. Obviously, i was pretty drunk when I took Luke down the hall. He was too.

Basically i just wanted to thank him but things got a little out of hand. I thanked him for the party and for letting me throw it at his cottage and then he said that its no big deal. I have him a hug but i had to kiss him. I have liked him forever and he has only known Jess for a couple of month. I definitly wasnt planning on Jess finding out. But the kiss was to good and i climbed into his lap. That's when Jess opened the door.

I knew she was there but i was too jealous and i had to try to make her feel worse. I know im a horrible friend. So i started lifting Lukes shirt. But that stupid Jess had to slam the door and bring Luke back to reality.

<><><><><><><><><>

I wasnt really listening while Jess yelled at me. I had a massive head ache and im guessing she felt groggy too. When she finished yelling whatever she was saying i completely ignored her. I cant deal with her right now. I got up and went to get a drink of water. Jess followed me and sigh heavily behind me. Then she left without another word.

After i found an empty bedroom i crashed on the bed and fell asleep. Not giving a second thought about Jess.

<><><><><><><><><>

Someone shaking my shoulders woke me up. I peel my eyes open sleepily and find Luke leaning over me. I smile and try to say something but my throat is dry. So he does the talking.
"About last night.... why did you kiss me?" he asked straight up. I clear my throat and swallow hard.
"I have liked you for a really long time. Im guessing it was the alcohol that have me the courage to actually kiss you. Im jealous of Jess. I wish i was your girlfriend." I pout like a little kid. Luke rolls his eyes and helps me.

We walk through the garden in silence. Just me and Luke. Its nice i admit, but i know Lukes mind isn't in me. Its only now after i have thought about it that i realise what i have done to Jess.
"Oh my god Jess. I have to try to apoligise!!" i say suddenly coming to my senses.
"Ya think?" Luke says sarcastically. I roll my eyes and together we run back to the cottage searching for Jess.

After looking everywhere, we coulnt find her. The boy with the yellow pants that Luke said Jess was with last night is picking at the grass in the front yard humming something to himself.
"Hey you!" Luke demands. The guy gets up and walks over to us.
"You were with Jess last night where did she go?" Luke asks.
"Uhhh she left ages dude. And who are you?" he asks me pervetly.
"Outa your league now beat it!" i say, feeling like a middle school bully. The boy laughs and stumbles into te house.
"Druggies." Luke mutters under his breath.

We head out to where all the cars are parked and go to the spot where i parked my car. The space is empty. Damnit Jess!
"She took my f***ing car!!" i yell. Luke grabs my shoulders and calms me down.
" She's probably just gone back to her apartment we'll take my car." i agree and we both jump into his car.

<><><><><><><><><>

After driving about half an hour we spot MY CAR on the side of the road. Driving into a bush. There's Jess sitting in the long grass with her knees brought up to her chest. She's emotionless. Luke swerves his car next to mine and we both jump out.
"Oh look at what we have here!" Jess says nastily. She gets up and walks towards us.
"Its the back stabbed and her helpless pawn. Funny." she kicks me in the shin and starts laughing.
"She probably had some of yellow pants' weed before she left." Luke whispers to me.

Jess is a Mess. Her hair is all over the place and straw like. Her clothes all dirty from sleeping in the grass. And her eyes glazed over from the drugs. Before Luke or I can reason with her she sprints into Lukes car which is open and has the keys already in the ignition. As she drives past us she yells to me:
"Dont talk to me ever again!"

<><><><><><><><><>

The next morning is Monday. I get up at my usual time and get ready for school. Jess is the only thing on my mind. I finally had a girl best friend and shes gone. And its all my fault. How could I let a boy get in the way of our friendship?!?

I drive myself to school blasting some depressing Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey. Those arent the kind of songs you play full volume but oh well. I pull up in the school car park in time to see Jess skipping up the school steps holding hands with the Yellow pants dude. (Today hes wearing red pants.) I sigh, knowing its going to take more than a desperate apology to get Jess back.

I trudge into the the school like im walking into a concentration camp. That all changes when i see Luke. He waves to me and i notice that Jess and The Yellow Pants Dude is in between Luke and I. Jess pulls the finger at Luke and keeps walking hand in hand with The Yellow Pants Dude. (I really need to learn his name.)

Luke looks slightly hurt and offended but quickly covers it up with a beaming smile.
"Hey Eleanor!" he gives me hug. And despite the bad thing i did with Luke to cause Jess and I friendship to end; the hug was the best thing i ever felt.
