LUVIE [fin. / unedited]

When I walked into the house where my mom and dad lived I got a smile from my dad and glare from my mom. Then she muttered something in Irish and walked away, leaving me standing there. I don't understand why she is mad at me. What did I do? She can't know, can she? My older brother came later that day and when he walked in he got the same soft smile from my dad and a hug from my mom, and then a glare sent in my direction. Again, she walked muttering the same phrases in Irish.

I sighed and went up to my room, but not before I heard my mom and dad talking. "...they are his! You weren't there! They look so much like him, the only thing they get from Luv is their attitude..." I eavesdropped. What? I can't believe Kent had a kid! This is unbelievable. He's never gonna live this down. I thought to myself. "Hey, what are you looking at?" Kent asked me, I jumped. "What the heck! I can't believe you have a kid!" I tell him, he looks at me bewilderment in his eyes. "I haven't had sex in 6 years. There is no way I have a kid," He said confidently. I raised my eyebrows up in disbelief, "Whatever you say, lover boy!" I gave him a clap on his back and walked away. Hopefully leaving it at that.

I got a call from Matthew about a party that one of our friends is throwing. I was originally friends with all of them but then the fallout with Luvie happened and Keith and Heath couldn't handle it. They just gave up contact altogether, I smiled. I'm going to that party and having the best damn time in my life! I thought to myself.

I quickly told Rose, Micheal, and Finley about the party. Rose and I quickly met up after Luvie disappeared. It was nothing big, nothing happened, if it did it was a mistake. I quickly assured her that. I came home for the weekends sometimes and Rose did online college. We met up and we decided to be friends-with-benefits type things. We decided we were all going. What's the worst that could happen? I quickly thought to myself as I went to go take a shower and get ready for tonight's party.

When we got to the party, we quickly got and went inside. I look around not seeing anything interesting. I see some Keith and some new guy in the corner talking. Keith quickly points at me, the other guy runs away in the direction of the backyard. I turned around to see Georgie and Amelia in the kitchen getting drinks. I see three cups, who is the third one for? I shrug it off, it can't be.

I feel a hand come around my waist, "Hey baby," Rose whispered. I look down at her with her dyed blonde hair tied up in a fancy bun. I run a finger down her cheek, "Hi," I whisper back. Her hand slips further down interlacing with my own. "Let's go upstairs," She says seductively, why not it's not like Luvie is coming back or is magically going to appear at this party. I think leading her upstairs to the spare room I know they keep.
