Jealous. L.H

chapter 29

"Yo, Emma, can you go comfort my mum?" I raise my eyebrow and he continues, "she didn't see me, and I didn't see her, but she's sobbing, and I don't know why," he rubs his shoulder and continues. "I would do something, but I suck at that stuff and I need to shower." "Yeah, yeah, okay, bye," I peck his lips and trot downstairs. I see Liz curled on the couch, holding 2 frames , while sobbing. "Liz? Is everything alright?" She shakes her head and i frown. "I miss your mother so fu- freaking much," She breathes in and i sigh. "Yeah me too, a lot," she looks at me. "Cmere sweetie, look at this letter," she pats the couch and I sit down, taking the slightly bent paper and holding it.

Dear Liz and Andrew,
This letter is gonna explain a few things, and tell you somethings. First, no sugarcoat. My husband, Morgan, has cancer. We're acting like we don't know about it, for Emma's sake. Please, if anything happens, take care of Emma. That's all I ask. These days are getting shorter, memories longer. I know you'll get this when Morgan and I both die, so hopefully Emma at least is married to Luke by now. I don't know when I'll die, but I know for a fact that all I need clarified to be okay is that Emma has someone to protect her, and be there for her. And Emma, im assuming Liz or Andrew will show you this, but honey, I love you so much. I know one day, you'll have a wonderful family, (hopefully with Luke,) maybe even graduate college? But I want you to know I'm always watching over you and your father says you'll always be his little princess. We are so proud of who you are, and we're very excited to see who you become. Liz/Andrew, you guys are my best friends, and I can't think of anyone else I would trust my Emma with. Thanks for all you've done. Finally, Luke. Oh Luke, I don't know where you are with Emma right now, but all she ever does is talk about you. Never anyone else. Just you and the boys. Please take care of our princess and don't do anything stupid, okay? I'm trusting you, ya little stinker;) oh yeah, I saw that guy from your school... Jake? Got arrested or something. I'll ask Emma later, but right now, I'm actually about to go to lunch with you Liz and Andrew! All love to you guys, see ya soon, Momma Carter <3.

I caress my thumb against the slightly smeared ink. "She knew my father had cancer this whole time?" Liz sighs and nods. "Im sorry dear," she reads over the page again. "I think she really wants you to have a future with Luke, ha!" I have to smile. My mum has always loved Luke, and wanted me to be with him only. "Thank you," she looks at me confused and I continue. "For showing me the letter. Could I show Luke?" She nods and i take the paper upstairs. "Hey, what was the matter?" Luke's wearing a pair of sweats and no shirt. "Look at this," I hand him the letter and he reads it, many times for that matter, and looks at me. "This is.. wow, I don't know what to say. It's like, 3 hours after she finished this letter, she died in a car crash. Crazy. I kinda like her intentions on me though," he smirks and I laugh. "Alright, well I'm gonna go grocery shopping for tonight, okay?" Hey raises his eyebrow. "It's thanksgiving, Luke! The boys, and our family are coming for dinner!" He nods as to say okay and I slip on some shoes. I peck his lips and slip out of the door.

Lukes pov
Emma's in the shower, and all the boys, their family, my family, etc, are here and we are all just making small talk. "Guy's, I think I wanna propose to Emma," the boys, my mum, and me are all talking on the back porch. "Dude, you're 18, almost 19," Michael says, leaning back. "Honesty, I think it's a great idea," Ashton says, shrugging. "Yeah, same, maybe a little to young though," Calum adds and we all look at my Mum, who has tears in her eyes. "Mum..." I whine and she wipes her eyes. "Sorry, it's just, I've been waiting so long to hear you say that," We all laugh and she continues. "There's nobody else I'd rather have mother my grandchildren," she laughs and I blush, looking down. "I mean, I don't care, go ahead, you're just kinda young," Michael says. I nod. "Yeah I think I'm gonna do it after graduation," they all clap quietly and I swear everything next goes in slow motion. The screen door slides open, and almost all eyes go to Emma, in a pale blue crop top, with black shorts. Her hair is in its natural wave, and she's wearing sunglasses on her head. She skips over to our table and sits on my lap. "Hey babe," I kiss her cheek and my mom mumbles and 'aww' under her breath. I wrap my arms around her waist, and nuzzle my head into her shoulder. "I love you, ya know that, right?" She nods and looks over her shoulder. "I love you too," I kiss her shoulder and my mum yells, "Time to eat!!" We all go inside and sit down, waiting for plates. After everyone gets their food, we go around and say what we're thankful for. I'm the last one, and I don't even think about what to say. "Im thankful for my beautiful mother who made this meal, my best friends Calum, Ash, and Mikey, and my extremely wonderfully, awesome sauce, amaze balls, girlfriend, Emma. Now dig in."
