Chapter Sixteen

~*~Lucas POV~*~

I woke up, thoughts of tiffany pounding against my skull, telling me I need her. I know I do, but she's in New York, and I'm stuck in nebraska.

I pulled Tracy's number out of my pocket and sent her a text.

'want to head to starbucks 4 a drink and a snak?'

'gladly!:)' she sent back.

'cool. I'll pik u up?'

'sure thing! Road off hickory. It's a long gravel drive. Were the only house there.'

'k. C u n a few:)' I sent.

'bye:)' came back. I felt like an idiot - going on a date with girl I only liked because she looked slightly like tiffany. And if I never saw Tiffany again...

"Hey, Tracy." I said as she opened the front door, wearing white wedges, skinny jeans and a white low neck tank top.

"Hey." she said, smiling. We hugged and I could smell the flowery perfume floating around us. Not too much, not too little.

"Lets get going." I took her hand and led her to the car.

"May I see your phone? I want to edit my info." she smiled.

"Yeah, here." I handed her the iPhone.

"Whos this?" she tiled the phone towards me.

"Oh." my heart began pounding, guild and regret and overwhelming love flooded my veins. "Thats my girlfriend Tiffany Thomas. She lives in New York."

"Oh." she looked a bit sad. "Tell me about it." she opened the contacts as I drove.

~*~Tracy POV~*~

Tiffany Thomas, eh? Well girl, you ain't hearing from Lucas any more. He's mine.

"What school was this?" I asked Lucas. "I have friends in New York."

"Oh, you do? This was Greenburg High." he answered.

"that's awesome!" I said. "My old friend Alecia Jones goes there!" the smile on lucas' face vanished.

"I know her. She hates Tiffany." I opened Tiffany's contact and sent the info to myself, and then deleted the text as well as the contact. I knew what I was going to do.

~*~Alecia POV~*~

My phone puzzed in my pocket. I was lying in bed. It was saturday morning and I had just gotten home from shopping. It was a text from my friend and partner in crime, Tracy Lee.

'lucas welt just moved here and I'm n love wit him. I'm going to take pictures and stuff, and can you make sure Tiffany gets them?'

'HELL YEAH!!!! I hate her!'

'Cool:) I'm on a date wit him now. Txt u l8ter!:)'

'BYE!!:)' I started laughing and rubbed my hands togeather happily and evily. Shed cut out the crotch of my pants, made me look like I'd gotten my period in the middle of the day, AND stolen Parker. Well, at least I'd gotten him back. I dialed Lilly's number.

"Guess what?" I started. This was going to send Tiffany crying down to the bottom of the scocial and emotional pile.

~*~Tiffany POV~*~

I had a bad feeling. It seemed like something was wrong. And Lucas hadn't call me today. I didn't have his new number or numbers, not even email. How was this going to work if we didn't talk?

All I could seem to think about was someone in Nebraska stealing lucas' pure and wonderul heart. What the hell was going to happen to us?!

~*~Lucas POV~*~

I was finding Tracy quite charming. She made me laugh, and before I knew it we were talking openly, and were now in the middle of the mall, walking around in the shopping center. We sat down on the cold stone fountian.

"Here. I need a picutre of you." she said, pulling out her phone. We moved togeather, cheeks touching and she snapped the picture. I looked at it, surprised to see that I actually looked happy. I guess that may be saying something? I don't know.

"You wanna try the picture booth?" she asked, pointing down the long hall.

"Sure!" I took her hand and we walked down. I slid in some money and we climbed in. Someone had left pictures in there and we began laughing out loud at the sight of their faces, her arms around me. They comforted my extreme saddness and she kissed my cheek as the last picture shuttered. Ismile to her and we climbed out. She ginned down at the pictures and handed me one of the two copies.

We headed home and I kissed her gently on the cheek before leaving. I didn't know what had come over me, but whatever it was, it was wrong. I am in love with Tiffany. But what is going on between me and Tracy?
