-Scarlet-

I spend a lot of time in Michael and Ashton's room. It's kind of weird to be around them so much but anything to get away from mrs perky and her pimps. I find myself constantly thinking about Luke. How stupid right I mean I hate the guy so much. But I can't help but wander like why is that way. Calum is a decent person and Vanessa is really lovely. And there is Luke. He is just so rude like he doesn't want to be around people. But then again neither do I. If I'm not at Ashton's and Michaels you will find me in the library. This life is just so weird to me. My mum hasn't spoken to me since I got here. And to top it off dad rang yesterday to tell me there getting a divorce. Yes that's right my parents called me to let me know it's over, not even parents. Just parent. Yet it doesn't bother me because they were never happy. Dad works all day, comes home eats, drinks, talks to me and sleeps. I love my dad though. Because he cared enough to check that I was mentally okay, my mothers only concern was my grades. Dad said he would come and visit me soon.

"Scarlet!" I hear Violet scream as she shakes me, I wonder if she notices that I'm never here because I can't stand her.

"What is it Violet?"

"Get up the freshman year party is going to start in an hour!"

"Right and why is that my concern Violet?"

"Aw come on, I never see you and you can make friends. It will be fun I promise!" She sounded like a desperate puppy, her eyes were wide as she stared at me.

"Ugh fine I will come. But not to long I have an important English class tomorrow."

I felt a massive weight on my body as she tackled on to me. Of course she was this type.

---------------------

We were eventually ready and got to this stupid party. I don't understand why I had to come. As soon as we got here she found Calum and left me. I found Michael on some wall making out with a blonde girl. Part of me wants to laugh, I can't see Michael as more than a brother. But yet we are constantly cuddling. This is why being a nerd sucks. How are you meant to understand these feelings? I roll my eyes as I spot Luke, even his face annoys me. What do people even do at party's? I eventually find the food table, thankfully it is decent and I find some sprite.

-----------------

I've been standing here for a while. Like two hours of a while. I don't want to go find Violet because then il get lost. And I've bothered Ashton enough, he has life without me. I think I've eaten all the food on this table alone. Before I realise I am surrounded by some guys. They all look older than a freshman. God what type of party was this? The blonde one speaks up,

"Hey beautiful." Ew I can tell he's drunk.

"Uh yeah hello, sorry I've gotta go find my friend." I sound like a mouse as I attempt to move away from them. The orange headed one holds me back.

"You aren't going anywhere little girl, we need you to dance with us."

"Why me?" I almost whimper.

"Because we said so."

There was at least five of them, two blonde, one orange headed and the other two dark headed. I wanted to scream but what good would that do me? This is a party, who would pay attention to a screaming girl. They begin to move around me, all having smug grins across there faces. I attempt to move with them but I've never been a good dancer. And then it hits me, I begin not being able to breath. I try to slowly breath in and out yet I can feel myself becoming light headed. I drop to my knees and the guys start to laugh at me. I close my eyes not taking any notice of them. What is wrong with me? I suck in a whole lot of air attempting to fill my lungs and as I look up I notice him. What is he doing? He punches one of the guys and lifts me up bridal style. Why is he saving me?

---------------

I finally open my eyes and notice our bodies are entangled. I stare down at him why does this feel so natural. When I'm with Michael it feels okay but this is just feels like it was meant to be. God that is not okay. I attempt to move, he probably doesn't want me here. Yet I feel my body being pulled into his, what does he want.

"Breathe, it's okay just sleep"

His words seem comforting as he runs his fingers through my hair. I begin to drift back to sleep. What am I doing sleeping in Lukes arms?

Hey guys, what do you think of this chapter? They might kinda short because I write on my phone. But let me know if you like this update, it's my favourite so far.
