The Monroe Girls

Chapter 19

Emma POV

I sniffle as I watch Brent and Crosby push Luke out of the room, I watch through my puffy eyes as they close the door behind them. All of us girls look at each other and run up to the door, we all press our ears up against the door, but all I could hear was a whole bunch of muffled voices.

I grow aggravated by not being able to hear anything and rolled my eyes, I push off the wall and walk over to my closet and pull open my double doors.

"Em, what are you doing?"

"I'm tired of just crying and moping about something that I don't even know the whole story too. It might have just been something stupid, but hey I still saw him kiss another girl and I'm still not done being mad at him because they were kissing for more than 5 seconds before I run away. Now I'm tired of y'all trying to cheer me up even though y'all are pissing me off with this all pettiness; I'm going for a run."

"Are you PMSing?"

I don't say anything and finishing tying my tennis shoes, walking over to my bed I grab my phone and earphones and start my music, I smile at them and open my door. As soon as I did that all three of them look like deers caught in head lights, I look at them weirdly I roll my eyes and walk pass them. I purposely bump into Luke's shoulder and walk downstairs, I head to the kitchen and grab a water bottle. I walk out the door and onto the sidewalk, plugging in my earphones I start a light jog.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm home!"

I closed the front door and walked around the house, I looked everywhere but I was completely alone. Finally, I'm alone, I walk into the kitchen and pour some wine into the cup. I lean against the counter and spotted a note.

Dear Em,

We went to run some errands, try to cool down and listen to Luke. Once you do I know you'll forgive him and y'all will go back to the way things were. We'll be back in about 3 hours.

I sigh, heading into the living room and put on some Christmas movies, yea, yea I know it's only Thanksgiving but come on! I start listening to Christmas movies after Halloween, I turn on the tv and head to recorders and turn on one of my favorites ' The December Bride '. 

"I love you, Leila."

"I love you too."

"AWWWWWWWW!!!! Awe shit!"

 I don't even care that I spilled my wine all over me, I just love happy endings! Although sadly my mom taught me that all of this never comes true, so after a while I slowly started losing hope, but hey I can still fangirl over cheesy movies and not think about Luke.

"Hey bu- I mean Em? Can I talk to you please?"

"No Luke because you're justing going to run my good mood."

He slowly walks into the living room and looks around, I see him smile when he looks at the tv, "hey your watching your favorite Christmas movie. Awe it's right when he truly proposed to her!!" 

He jumps up and down like I did when it happened, although he didn't spill wine on himself.  I shake my head and remind myself that I'm supposed to be mad at him, I walk up the stairs and into my room I hear Luke following up into my room but I ignore and make a b line into my closet.

I grab a shirt and pull it over my body and walk back into my room, I grab one of my ponytails and pull my hair up into a messy bun, I grab my charger and walk back downstairs. Luke follows me like a lost puppy into the living room, I sit down and he does the same.

"Look, Emma, I just wanted to explain what happened that night."

"Luke, I think you should go, I'm not ready to talk to you yet."

He sighs bit gets up; without saying a word he gets up and walks out of the house. I huff out a breath of air and snuggle back into my blankets, I press play and continue to watch the rest of the movie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We're home!"

"Hey! Where did y'all go? It's been like 4 hours?"

"We went shopping for camping supplies."

"Camping supplies? For what? Claire hasn't even left the city and you're too much of an OCD person to even enjoy nature."

"Claire told you that we're going camping with the boys tomorrow."

We both turn to Claire as her eyes go big and she looks at me, "Shit I knew I forgot something. Hey, Emma, we're going camping."

I smile at her and look back at Elena,"well we were going to invite Luke and you but seeing as you can't be in the same room together I thought you wouldn't want to go."

"Well you thought right, how long are you all staying?"

"Only a weekend, I already bought you food so you should be fine."

"Thanks, anyway I'm going to shower and then head to bed, good night."

They both said a chorus of good nights as I headed up the stairs. I walk into my bathroom and started up the shower.

Once I was done, I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I walk into my room and close the blinds, getting dressed into my sweats and t-shirt and snuggle into my bed and close my eyes. After a while, I slowly go into a deep sleep.
