"Hey y/n, you wanna come over to my house after school? We can go shopping." Emma asked.
"Yeah. I really need to get out of my house." I put on a smile.
"Yay!" She smiled.
I laughed at her happiness. Something I wish I still had.
My parents have been fighting a lot lately and I really think this is it this time. I think they're gonna divorce.
Her brother Luke walked up to us.
"Y/n" he smiled.
"Luke."
I'm in Luke's grade, but I'm friends with Emma because we both love shopping.
To be honest I've always found Luke attractive, but he's Emma's brother so.
"Y/n, wanna come over and play video games after school?"
"Sorry, I'm going shopping with Emma. Maybe tomorrow."
"Yeah. Sure."
After school Emma and I went shopping. We bought a lot of clothes.
I put one of my new outfits on.

Her butler, Bertram cooked us dinner.
"This is really good." I said.
"Wow. I'm not used to being appreciated." He got emotional.
Luke's foot kept brushing against mine, he was sat in front of me.
I looked up at him and he was already staring.
He smiled and then looked at his good, eating some more.
"So y/n, how are your parents doing?" Jessie asked.
"Oh. Um. They're fine." I pushed a piece of food around my plate.
"You're In Luke's Biology class right?"
"Yeah." My entire mood changed.
What if my parents divorce, and I have to choose who I want to live with? I love my mom a little more just because she's my mom, and my dad is always 'at work'. But I don't want to break my dad's heart by not choosing him.
"Excuse me." I stood up and went into the living room.
I was crying silently. I went into the balcony and stared out at the city and the park.
I heard the door slide open.
I wiped away my tears, even though there were small traces of them still left on my cheeks.
"You okay?" Jessie asked me.
"Yeah I'm fine." I lied.
"Was it about biology? Or Luke? Did he do something? I swear if he pranked you-"
"My parents are fighting all the time." I started. "I'm scared that they're gonna get a divorce. And that I'll have to choose who I want to live with."
"Oh... I'm sorry." She hugged me.
We talked a little bit and I cried a lot.
I walked back inside after her and carefully shut the door.
I immediately saw everyone sitting on the couch or standing behind it.
I made eye contact with Luke.
I let out a shaky breath and ran upstairs to Luke's room, laying on his trampoline bed. I hugged a pillow and cried into it.
I heard the door open again.
"Jessie, I don't want to hurt them." I looked back and saw Luke.
He didn't say anything, he just sat next to me.
I threw the pillow down and hugged him instead.
His arms were around me tight. He felt comfortable. I felt safe.
"I heard everything..." he whispered.
"Luke, I'm scared." I sniffled.
"It's okay to be scared. I understand that it must be hard. You can stay here tonight if you want."
"Are you sure? I don't want you to think that you have to be nice just because-"
"I like you." He interrupted.
"Y-you Do?"
"Yeah. You're the coolest, prettiest, chillest girl I know."
I pulled out from the hug.
I looked at him carefully. He seems genuine. Not out of pity.
"I'll take your silence as you don't feel the sa-"
I placed my lips onto his and pulled away.
"I like you too, Luke Ross." I smiled.
"Cool." He displayed a wide smile.
I yawned and laid down, ready to go to sleep.
"Don't you wanna change first?"
"Yeah, actually." I stood up.
"I have a shirt you can wear."
"Okay." He gave me one of his shirts.
"I'm gonna go get a pair of shorts from Emma."
"Okay."
I ran into Emma's room.
"Hey Emma." I dragged her name out.
"You're dating my brother aren't you."
"Yeah. How'd you know? It just happened."
"Zuri was eavesdropping." She tossed me a pair of shorts.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Just don't you know."
"Oh yeah, I know. Don't worry about it."
I put them on and put my new outfit back into one if my bags.
I ran back into Luke's room and hopped into bed next to him. He put his arm around me and spooned me.
My hair was in a bun so it wasn't all in his face.
"Goodnight Y/N." He whispered with a kiss on my cheek
