I walk up to the closet and change into a simple plaid black shirt with a white one underneath and skinny black jeans.
I wear my black Nike sneakers and go downstairs.

"Luke!" My mom calls just as I take the last step.

I go into the kitchen.

"Hey mom," I groan and plop myself on the bar stool.

"Someone's in a bad mood today. You do remember right?" She asks.

"Remember what?" I groan back.

"Our trip today," my dad answers coming downstairs with the luggage.

I had totally forgotten about that! Why? My parents are going on a one week trip, and I had forgotten!

"Hi dad," I greet.

"Well? You forgot eh?" My mom asks.

My mom had been so excited for this trip, because it was my dad's anniversary gift to her. A one week trip to Japan.

"No! I'm just not feeling too well today," I answer.

"Why? What's wrong? Is it because of Araina's parents?" My mom says worried.

"No, not at all. They were great. I'm just a bit behind on writing the album and management's been going a bit hard on me," I lie.

"Alright than. You're brother is going to come tomorrow, just don't destroy the house till than. Okay?" She begs.

"Mom! I'm seventeen! He doesn't need to come over! I can handle things," I plead back.

"No, he is coming and that's final," she confirms.

"Come on than Liz, we'll be late," my dad gestures.

My mom puts the pancake on my plate and pours syrup on it for me.

I stand up and walk them out of the door.

"Be careful alright?" My dad says.

I nod my head.

"Oh and it's okay if Araina comes over right?" I question.

My parents look at each other for a second. Than answer,
"Yes, but again..."

"Be careful," I finish for them,"I know mom, I'm not stupid. Have a nice trip!" I say and they leave.

I shut the door behind me and go back to the counter to eat the breakfast my mom had made for me.

When i finish my breakfast I quickly call John.

"Luke?" He answers on the first ring.

"Yeah, I just wanted to 'inform' you that me and Araina are going to a party today," I say emphasizing on the inform.

"Alright than, where?" He asks.

"Oh I have to give you the exact address eh?" I furiously ask.

"Luke. Just tell us where it is," John replies devastated by my answers.

"Michael's house. And I am picking her up. I don't care what you're going to say, but I am picking her up. Bye," I say. But I wait for him to hang up.

"Fine, but just this time, and be..." I interrupt him.

"Careful, yes I know. Bye," I say and really hang up this time.

I decide to call Araina again, and see if she wants to hang out before the party.

"Araina?" I say when she picks up.

"Yeah?" She answers. Her voice is mad. I can tell.

"Just wanted to talk. Are you mad at me?" I ask.

"No," she replies.

"You are. I can tell..." I say.

"Well wouldn't you be mad at me if I suddenly started acting all mad at shouting at you?" She snaps back.

"Look, I'm sorry. Okay?" I beg.

"Fine," she replies.

"I'm gonna pick you up, okay?" I tell her.

"You called management?" She asks.

"Yeah, no worries. Let's go out before it. Okay?" I plead.

"Luke, you're already in trouble. Don't make it worse," she points out.

"I'll tell them. Please?" I plead again.

"Fine, be here in an hour," she give in.

We say goodbye and I quickly go up to tale a shower and refreshen.

When I am out, the first thing I do is put my piercing back on.

I took it off last night, I don't know?

When I am finished getting dressed into black sweatpants and a midnight blue t-shirt, and white converse I get into my car and drive towards Araina's house. And no, I do not call management.

I reach the front of her steps only to see that Alec, the guy I had to separate from Nick in a serious fight, is standing there.

"Luke?" He asks with a surprised face.

(A/N) soooo how do you think Alec will react to Luke?
