Lost

Chapter 2

The car journey was awkward. Luke drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and focused on the windscreen. Lucy however looked out of the window at the streets that flashed past.

"So-" They both started to say at the same time.

"You first" Luke says and he smiles.

"Oh um I was just wondering where the party was" I smile nervously.

"Babe you look so cute when you smile like that" His hand rested on her knee.

"It's at a frat house 20 minutes away from here"

"Okay. Now you"

"I was just wandering how you always manage to look so pretty"

Lucy blushed.

"I um I don't"

"Yes you do"

"No I-"

Luke pressed his finger to her mouth.

"No more words babe"

Lucy fiddled with her hands and looked down.

"Here we are"  Luke grinned.

Lucy looked up and a stared and the massive house with loud music and the silhouettes of people escaping from the windows.

"Wow" She smiled.

"Is this your first party?"

"Yeah"

"I can't believe no one has taken you to one before" He stared at her for a while with an unreadable look on his face. Lucy felt uncomfortable. She smiled awkwardly and looked away.

Luke rushed out the car and ran round to her door and clicked it open.

"Thanks"

"No problem"

Luke held Lucy's hand as they walked through the door. Lucy found it hard to take in. Every room was as crowded as the previous one. She didn't want to stray too far from Luke. After about 10 minutes a rather plasticy girl walked up to Luke. Lucy tensed. Luke grinned and wrapped his arm around the girl and pulled her in for a hug. Lucy moved away. She felt strangely hurt. Luke wasn't hers but she had felt that maybe be liked her a bit. I guess not. Lucy turned and walked across the room to the sofa. She sat down and fiddled with the hem of her dress that Izzy had brought her. Hers eyes wandered over to Luke and the girl who were deep in conversation.

She felt the hot breath on her neck and as she turned around she saw the curly haired devil, the one that had ruined her life. Harry. He smiled as her face paled and she had to grab the sofa to stop herself from fainting.

"Hello baby" He whispered in her ear.

"G-go away" Lucy mumbled.

"I would like you to meet someone. He motioned to a tall girl with long dark brown hair and kind eyes. She had tan skin and a red dress. She looked beautiful.

"This is Alyssa" Harry whispered.

"Oh" Lucy choked. 4 days. 4 days and he's already moved on.

Lucy felt herself shrinking in her seat and Harry's lips touched Alyssa's. Just at that moment Luke was by her side. He grabbed her hand and pulled her off the sofa.

"Babe what's wrong" He asked immediately. He wiped the small tear off her cheek.

"Nothing" Lucy whispered.

"Who is he?" Boomed Harry, his voice silencing the room. Everyone stared. Luke's eyes changed into slits.

"What's it to you" He spat.

Harry looked outraged. "How dare you"

Luke took a step towards Harry but Lucy pulled him back.

"Please Luke don't. Can we go?"

Luke stood still but finally gave in. "Okay babe come on"

He turned to Harry, "Bother her again and I will not hesitate to beat you up"

Harry snickered. Lucy grabbed Luke's hand and we walked out of the crowded room. As they reached the car a few tears escaped her eyes. The more she Iet out the more came. Tears flowed effortlessly down her cheeks. Luke spotted them and pulled Lucy in for a hug.

"Who was he?" He asked gently?

"My ex" Lucy whispered. The pain was unimaginable.

"Don't worry I won't let him hurt you" He said protectively.

She smiled and we climbed into the car.
