Love Can't Die |M.C.|

Chapter 17

*2 years later*

*Emmie*

I peeked into Casey's room and smirked, seeing her jumping up and down on her bed. It's amusing seeing a 18 year old jumping on her bed singing the ABC's.

"Are you ok there Casey?" I said, leaning against the door, smirking at my best friend.

"Geez the weasels Emmie. Don't scare me like that!" She yelled at me jokingly, when she almost fell off the bed. I shook my head laughing.

"We need to get ready to go to school. It's graduation day." I said, walking out and going to my room. I shut the door quietly and went to my closet and grabbed a black tank-top and some black skinny jeans that wasn't ripped. I went into the bathroom and quickly took a shower and looked in the mirror at my scars. I sighed and put my clothes on before blow drying my black and red ombre hair.

I went back to my room and slid on my black combat boots and slid on my bracelets and saw Casey slide past my bedroom door, since she was still in socks and the floor is wooden. I shook my head, smirking and saw her finally come in and sit down beside me.

"Hello my best friend who is my graduation buddy." She said, not stopping to take a breath in between words.

"Hello my best friend who is my graduation buddy." I said back laughing. We hugged each other tightly and got up before saying goodbye to her parents and getting into her car. Her parents treated me like I was their own daughter. We drove to the high school and parked before getting out and running inside. I couldn't wait to graduate so I could get out of this place. We went to where we were supposed to go and put on our graduation gowns over our regular clothes and put on our hats.

We were laughing and smiling when we went and lined up, getting ready to get our diplomas. We graduated and me and Casey decided to go to a party. We took off our gowns and went to the party. There was so many people outside with red solo cups in their hands. I pulled my hair into a pony tail, my scar on my neck visible, and my fringe in my face.

We went in and I immediately went for the beer. I don't drink that much but I needed just one right now. The music was as loud as it could be, people were making out on the couch, people were grinding against each other and sweating. And many people were coming out of different rooms. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a beer for me and one for Casey. I handed it to her when I found her, but saw her staring at someone. I followed her gaze and my eyes widened when I saw who she was looking at. It was Luke so Michael had to be somewhere around here. I looked at Casey and was about to say, "We need to go." when Luke spotted us.

He ran over and yelled "Emmie! I missed you so much!" he hugged me tightly and I hugged him back, seeing Casey's eyes widen. She loved 5 Seconds Of Summer but didn't know I knew them before they got famous. Or that I even dated one of them.

"Hi Luke." I whispered. Flashbacks from when we first met started playing in my mind and I immediately pulled away.

"You're beautiful as ever." He said, brushing a piece of hair out of my eyes. I shook my head slightly, looking down. I took a drink of my beer and heard him say "So you guys graduated today didn't you?" We nodded and I heard Casey say "Y-yeah."

Luke smirked and then looked at me and said "Michael's here if you wanted to talk to him." I gave him a look and took another drink before saying "I'm not talking to that dick."

Casey gave me a look and I ignored her. Luke sighed and before he said anything, I pointed at his lip ring and said "Nice lip ring."

"Thanks but don't change the subject. I know he was a jerk to you a couple years ago, but he changed. Emmie you don't know how I have to be stuck with a sulking 18 year old regretting what he did to you." Luke said sighing.

"Did he tell you the last words he said to me? Right as I was walking out of the door, he told me to not let the door hit me on the way out. Did you know that I was trying to help him and he told me to keep my nose in my own business? Did you know that I stood up to him for once and he practically called me stupid? Did you know that he basically said it was his house and not mine as well?" I yelled. My phone went off and I slammed my beer on the table by me and looked down at my phone. Casey's mom had texted me saying that Saphire was throwing up.

"I'm sorry but I have to go. My daughter needs me right now." I said and turned around and was met with a black clothing material. I looked up and saw Michael looking down at me, wide eyes.

"Y-you have a daughter?" He stuttered.

I nodded and said "Now if you would excuse me, she's sick and won't go to sleep." before pushing past him, grabbing Casey's hand and dragging her out. My heart was thumping out of my chest as we got into Casey's car. I was so scared. Michael walked out of the house and started towards us and I looked at her and said "Go. Now." She sped off and I tried to calm myself so I could go take care of my daughter.

*Michael*

I was leaning against the wall, drinking a beer when I saw her. I saw her walk in. I quickly went to Luke and said "Luke. She's here." He of course knew who I was talking about since I only talk about her.

"Go talk to her. Tell her you're sorry." He said looking at me, before looking at her. I just kept watching her. She wasn't as skinny as she was when we were dating, but she was still skinny. She was so beautiful. I reached up and grabbed my necklace. It was a gold chain with her ring on it. I know. Pathetic. But I love her.

When Luke when to talk to her, I snuck up and hid in the doorway right by her. As she said all those words, I felt tears form in my eyes. When she whipped out her phone, I moved behind her and peeked over and saw the text someone had sent her. I heard her sigh and as soon as the word daughter slipped from her lips, it felt like someone grabbed my heart and forced it to stop beating. She turned around and looked up at me, shocked sort of, but I saw hurt in her eyes. I just wanted to grab her and hold her close. I just wanted to kiss her and tell her I would be there. I don't know if that is my child, but I don't care. I would hold her close, I would smile and tell them I would be there. But I couldn't.

I couldn't take away spoiling the little girl if she was someone else's. I couldn't take away spoiling Emmie if she already had a boyfriend. I couldn't take that away from them. When she left, I decided I was going home. I finished my beer before going to mom and dad's house, slightly feeling the affects but not fully.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed one of dad's beers and downed it. I didn't say I wasn't going to get drunk. I wanted to. Just not at the party so I wouldn't make any mistakes. I downed another one and then another and then another. I stumbled outside, and found myself stumbling to Emmie's old house yelling for her. I got to her house and when I was about to knock on her door, I glanced over and saw her standing in the living room of the house next door. I snuck over and hid, watching her. She had a little girl in her arms with a blanket wrapped around the little girl.

Emmie smiled down at the girl and nuzzled her cheek and placed her hand on the girl's head before her smile dropping. She sat down and an older woman came over and placed a rag on the little girl's head. The little girl looked to be around 2 but I didn't know. I quickly stood up and my drunk self started to go to the house, but my regular self forced me to go back home. I couldn't hurt her again...
