"Shit." I cursed and shut my eyes closed. A fake smile spread across my face as I turned around. Harry was holding a plate with food and his eyes were on me, waiting for an answer.

"So?" He said and raised his eyebrow.

I was holding my breath, and let out a big breath. I looked back at Luke and back at Harry again.

"Nothing, I was just uh.." My eyes darted towards Luke.

"Asking Luke how he was!" I said and looked back at Harry.

I could see by his face that he didn't believe me, he looked curious, but didn't say anything as he sat beside me with his arms crossed.

"Well, Luke?" I questioned and waited for him to answer.

"Oh yeah! I'm fine, thank you for asking!" He said and played along.

He rolled his eyes and shoved his hand in his bag, and a cigarette was in sight. My hands flew over to his cigarette and I tried to hide it.

"Harry! You can't smoke in here!" I said while looking around, to see if there were any teachers. Luckily there were none.

"I don't care." He said and lit his cigarette. I looked back to Luke who was completely red, he started coughing, as Harry playfully blew smoke on his face.

"Are you okay?" I said and stood up.

"I'm allergic to smoke." He said and continued coughing.

"Harry!" I yelled. His face slowly turned to me to state that he couldn't care less if he was even dying.

I helped Luke up and we both quickly walked, when Harry also stood up.

"Asshole." Harry stated and walked the opposite direction.

We stepped outside and absorbed the fresh air, as we walked over to one of the few benches on the grass. The sun was bright and not too far away, a shadow came towards us. He couldn't aknowledge who it was, but as the person came closer, I knew exactly who it was. Bethany. I was not in the mood to see her face right now, so I tried to ignore her, like I hadn't seen her.

"Lukey!" She screamed, making me even more irritated. Wait wait wait..she knew him?

She came closer and both her arms were open to give him a big hug.

"I can't believe you're back! I missed you!" My anger inside got bigger.

"Hi beth." He breathless spoke, making him not able breathe. She let go of him and sat right next to him and making Luke's face turn to her direction.

I'm sorry, but did I forget that I was invisible today?

I let out a big sigh and looked at her.

"Um, hi, we were kind of talking, when you interrupted?" I said trying to be as polite as possible.

Her face changed into a bitch mode and put her hand on luke's shoulder.

"I think I can talk to my boyfriend, whenever I want." She snapped and I almost black out. The words took me by surprise, making me look at both of them with disguist.

Wait she is dating him? Boyfriend???? My eyes darted to Luke, when he gave me a "i'm sorry" look. I stood up and I could feel the vomit in my mouth. I started walking when a tear escaped from my eye.

"Emily, wait!" I heard Luke behind me, but I ignored him and walked faster.

I can't believe that I visited him at the hospital, and actually cared about him, but he had a girlfriend that I didn't know about? And even Bethany? Out of all these people!

I actually didn't hate her before today, but she was just annoying as hell.

I tried to not look like I was crying since I was in school, and there was many people, so I quickly ran into one of the toilets in the halls and locked myself inside.

I just embarrased myself infront of Luke and Bethany. How stupid can I be?

I took some toiletpaper and dryed the tears off, realizing that I was crying because of something stupid.

I unlocked the door and went towards the cafeteria again.

My feet ran down the 3 steps of stairs and took the seat that Harry threw, off of the floor. Both my hands on my head in fustration and when I looked up, Harry was standing infront of me.

"Where is he?" He aggressively spoke. His fists were clenched and and his breathing became heavy.

"Harry don't!" I said before he could hurt him. He started walking outside when I ran infront of him trying to stop him. I instantly placed my free hand on his chest in protest, attempting to push him away as he tried to make his way outside.

"Did he hurt you?" He asked and not even making eye contact.

I let my hand fall down to the side and let out a sigh.

"No he didn't, I was just stupid, that's all." I said and looked down in embarrasement.

"Just promise me you won't hurt him, okay?" I said and looked at him.

He closed his eyes and looked to the side in fustration. "Please?"

"Alright, alright. But only if you promise me that you won't be near him again." He said and crossed his arms. My eyes widened at the words that I didn't expect him to say.

I couldn't. I needed his help with Caitlyn. How was I gonna find her if I couldn't be near him?

"I'll think about it." I said.

He looked at me with annoyance.

"Look Harry, he didn't hurt me." I said in defend.

He let out a sigh and nodded.

"Alright."

I was laying down my bed trying to sleep and my head sharply turned when I heard my phone buzz. I let out a huff, not wanting to move from my comfortable position. I lazily rolled over, grabbing my phone from the drawer, when I saw Luke's name appear on my screen. It took me a second to decide if I should open the message or not. My curiousity boiled over so I decided to look.

From: Luke

*Hi Emily, i'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I hope you forgive me.

Love Luke*

My fingers quickly answered before I could react.

*Hi Luke, no it's not your fault. I'm sorry if I just went off like that. But i'm not mad at you. :)*

*send*

I threw my phone back on the sheets when the phone vibrated again.

From: Luke

*i'm really happy to hear that! And about what you asked today...i'll tell you what I know when we can talk somewhere private, alright?*

I smiled as I quickly responded with a simple "ok" and threw the phone back again.
