Luke's POV

"Okay. I'll see you in History then. See ya later, Quinn." I hear Dean Jacob's voice near the lockers.

"Bye Dean." Quinn's voice.

"What did Dean Jacobs want?" I say behind her, slipping my arms around her waist and rests my head on her shoulder.

"Asked us to go to his party tonight. You wanna go?" She fills me in.

"Sure."

***

The day goes fast. Everyone agreed to go to the party and now I am sat at Ash's house, in his garage. He is sat at his drums as usual. I drink my beer. We are watching 'How I met your mother' on the TV Ashton has. We watch another half an hour in silence. It is nearly time for me to pick up Quinn and the girls.

"You guys going straight to the party or coming to pick Quinn up with me?" I ask them. I know what their answers will be though.

"Going straight to the party." Calum says. Shocker.

I nod and get up. I make my way to my car and drive to Quinn's house. She should have had enough time to get ready. I was at Ashton's house for like 2 hours.

I park in her drive way and go to knock on the door, Jay and Kyle arrive same time as me. Two knocks later, Livia answers.

"Hey Liv. Quinn home?" I ask her.

"Quinn! Luke, Jay and Kyle are here." She yells to Quinn. I see Quinn walk towards the door. Her black and red matching her heels. Her hair in curls down her back. She looks beautiful.

"Ready?" I ask, kissing her cheek. She nod and I lead her to the car. We are taking to cars. Jay and Isabelle the desinated drivers tonight. Or we might as well take a cab. Quinn and I jump into the back of my car with Isabelle driving.

We reach Dean's house, more like mansion, in less than 10 minutes.

The party is already going. People with red cups litter the grass and inside the house.

We walk in and Quinn heads straight to the kitchen to grab a drink, while I go find the boys. I sit down on the couch where I find them.

"Hey Quinn." Ash waves to her when he sees her from where he is sitting on the couch.

"Hey Guys." She says giving me my drink and sits on my lap.

"Hey Calum want to play beer pong?" Someone from school asks Cal. He nods and abanduns us.

"Great. Now we are going to have a drunk Calum the rest of the night." Michael says, taking a sip of his whiskey.

"What makes you say that?" Quinn asks. So she doesn't know much about Calum then.

"He sucks at beer pong." I inform her. "Where are the girls?" I ask her.

"I don't know. I am going to go find them." She says getting up. She goes to look around the masion. I sit here watching Calum fail at beer pong. It is laugh worthy.

"Luke your turn." Calum slurrs when he finishes the last drink on the table. I get up and start playing beer pong. I hit the ball off the table and into the cup on the other side, making the guy, Zac, drink the beer the ball landed in. I continue playing until the guys in the other side finish each cup. I inly got to drink 2 cups, my partner, Max, got to drink 3.

I go to the dance floor and find Quinn and Shai on the table dancing like nothing in the world matters. Their hands go up into the air gracefully. I am standing in the door way to the kitchen and lounge room. God, she is beautiful. Her eyes meet mine and everything in the room seems to disappear and it is only us. Her body still moving to the beat of the music. I pull my lip ring into my mouth to stop a moan from escaping my lips from the way her body moves.

I look away from her and go into the kitchen. I pour whiskey into my cup. I drink the lot of it before refilling. I feel a hand on mine and look up into the eyes of my ex-girlfriend, Alesha's eyes.

"Hey" She says to me with a smile.

"Hey" I step into a hug. "What are you doing here?"

"Came up here to visit. Just happen to be able to get into the party." She shrugs.

"Cool." This is so awkward. Although we ended things on good terms and we are friends, I haven't seen Alesha in a long time. She pulls my hand to what looks like a pampa room. She leans against a bench.

"It's been forever." She voices my thoughts.

"I know." I say with a laugh. She laughs with me. Then out of no where she pulls me closer and all i can feel is warm lips on mine. I pull away in a mere second and hear a slight intake of breath and turn to face Quinn.

Her eyes mimic in shock and horror. Her eyes are now red and full of tears. Some slip down her face, making her mascara run with it.

She sakes her head and turns in a hurry down to the door. I go to run after her, but a bunch of guys hold me up to catch up. I say a quick hey and give them a man hug. I am in too much of a hurry to even recognise them.

I get past them and run to the door. I turn just in time to see her hand be released by a sweaty, hairy guy.

It happens too fast. She stumbles onto the road. I run up to her but not fast enough.

I watch her get hit by the black van. I stop in my tracks. No. This can't be happening. She tumbles up to the windshield then back down and lands on the road. I can't move. I am frozen. I hear someone on the phone, calling for an ambulence. Warm tears trickle painfully out of my eyes and onto my cheeks.

Alesha did this.

"What happened?" Speak of the devil. Her hand touches my shoulder and I use all willpower to make myself move and shrug off her hand.

"You did this." I say in a mere whisper.

"What do you mean? Who was she?" She has a nerve to say.

"She was my girlfriend! You didn't have the right to kiss me. Because of you she might be dead." I scream at her. She looks at me, mouth gaping.

"I didn't know you had a girlfriend-"

"If you were on twitter or something the past few months you would have seen something. Plus you should know it was Quinn. You have only met her a couple time before I moved here." I snap. While I was snapping at Alesha, an abulence had come and taken Quinn without me realising. I didn't even hear the sirens. I run to my car and drive to the closest hospital, not caring about the speed limit.

I park in the car park and run to the elevator. I press the button that I think is the right floor to the ER. I lean my head against the wall. Why did I let this happen? I won't be able to live with myself if I lose Quinn.

The elevator door opens. I rush out and follow the signs to the ER. I was on the right level. I push open the door and see Quinn on the table. Her face smashed up pretty bad, but somehow still just as beautiful.

"Sir, you can't be in here." A nurse says.

"That's my girlfreind." I tell her. She pushes me out with force and slams the door in my face. I go to the waiting room. I sit down for what feels like 5 minutes before I get up and start pacing the room. I can't sit here waiting to see if she survives this. I need to know.

What feels like 10 hours but is actually only an hour and a half, a doctor comes into the room.

"Lucas? Lucas Hemmings?" He asks.

"Yes?"
