The Monroe Girls

Chapter 21

Emma's POV

"Shit."

I lean over to the lamp and try to turn it on, but knowing my luck, it didn't turn on. Sighing I got up and walked into the garage. I Headed toward the little box on the wall that had all the power switches. I finally found the living room switch and started switching back and forth, after about 10 million tries I gave up and started shifting all the others until eventually, nothing came back on.

I walk back into the house and back into the kitchen to find Luke looking at a black tv, "you know that if you use the magic words, the little power fairy will come and turn on the tv!"

"Haha very funny."

I start laughing at how sarcastic that sounded and headed towards the kitchen to grab the candles and lighter and walked back into the living room and started spreading around the candles while lighting them. 

I hear Luke sigh before he turned his attention to me, "I'm bored."

"We've literally been sitting here for not even 10 minutes, how are you bored?"

"Short attention span, I guess."

"Fine, then what do you want to talk about?"

He shrugs his shoulders before turning back to his original position and huffs out a breath again. We continue to sit in silence as I continue to text Renie about how her weekend was going and updating her about the current situation that I was in.

We sit in silence until another thunder shook the house causing me to jump up from my previous spot, quickly throwing my hand over my heart to calm it down, I look down at Luke who is trying to contain his laughter while trying to occupy himself by looking out the window.

I glare at him instantly remembering our recent fight; my glaring intensifies as I slowly walk over to him. He notices the shift of emotions in the atmosphere and looks over at me; I stop walking to him when I'm near his face.

"It's not funny! You know, now that I'm thinking about it this whole situation isn't funny! You kissed that little slut! Or well she kissed you, and you didn't stop her! I already have trust issues because people are asses all around; trust me I've had experience in my stupid high school life with stupid friends who just turn out to the fucking jealous and try to run your fucking life! When I think I could trust somebody, I turn around, and they're kissing some other fucking girl! It may be just a little thing to you Luke, but to me, my heart shattered into pieces and once my trust and heart is broken it's going to take a while to earn it back. Trust me I already knew about your past here last year, and I know that you changed but then again maybe there's still a little piece of you from last year still in you."

I take a calming breath before looking at Luke's wide eyes, "You may have pulled back, but just not fast enough."

That's the last thing I said before I grabbed two candles and headed upstairs ready to take a relaxing bath in the dark. 

I turned the knobs of the faucet to the hottest that it could get and started to light the two candles that I brought up with me and put them on the edge of the tub diagonally. 

Turning off the steaming hot once it got to the certain height, I put one foot at a top and slowly submerge my body in the hot water waiting for my body to get used to it. 

Sighing, I lean my head against the back of the tub and close my eyes. Enjoying the quietness that comes around me.

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

About an hour and a half of me being in the tub, the water started to become cold, so I gently wrapped myself up in a fluffy towel and drained the tub. I walked into my room and got changed into a pair of spandex and a large t-shirt. Walking out of the room, I head downstairs and into the living room.

As soon as I turn the corner, I run into a hard chest making me fall to the floor. I let out an 'ohmf' sound and looked up to see Luke looking at me with a concerned look on his face. 

He holds out his hand for me to grab which I gratefully do and he lifts me up. Instantly he grabs hold of my shoulders and looks me straight in the eyes before breaking eye contact, sighing and shaking his head and looks back into my eyes, only this time with determination.

"Look, Emma, you got to talk, now it's my turn. I know that you got hurt when you saw me kissing that girl but she came onto me and I was in a state of shock and I thought it was you, but once I realized that it wasn't you I instantly pulled back. That girl that you saw her name is Tori and she's Amber's twin once Amber introduced me to her, she made it her mission to get with me but I never did. She just thinks that somethings going to happen when it's really not because I love you-"

He quickly freezes when those three words came out his mouth, both of our eyes go huge before he removes his hands from my shoulders and slowly backs away from me getting very quite and almost small. And if possible almost more shy then when we had first met...
