I guess I'm not sleeping tonight too so I'll just keep on writing :)
Oh and I probably won't be writing as much in Luke's POV..I don't know..I'll see I guess

Emma's POV
When school was over I went to the cafe with Jack only, because V was too busy with Dylan.
I was so embarrassed by Jack because for some reason he was jumping around like a little kid and greeting everyone on our way to the cafe.
He's a strange strange guy.
When we came to work, we put on our uniforms and Jack tried to take mine, "come on Emma! You know I'd rock that skirt," he smirked and I slapped his stomach and took my skirt back.
"You wish," I snort and go in the back to change.
When I come back to the counter, Jack is already there, trying his pick-up lines on a girl.
"I'd like a blueberry muffin," the poor girl says.
"Sure!" He jumps and gives her the muffin.
"Ouch! It's hot," she almost dropped it.
"You're hot, probably fresh out of the oven just like that muffin," he winks at her.
Oh my god, Jack this was BAD.
I tried really hard not to laugh at him when the girl slapped him and left.
"Well..that didn't go well," he says and scratches his head and I just start laughing.
He sticks out his tongue and goes to another table, where someone ordered a milkshake.
Oh no.
I see the look on his face.
He nods to the customer, turns around and starts singing, loudly may I add.
"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours, damn right it's better than yours..." he starts twerking.
Oh god.
I walk up to him, slapping his butt, "that's enough now, what do you say Jack?" I laugh and then he looks at me and says, "do you like my ass? I know you do. You can slap it again if you want to," he smirks and I slap him. But not his butt. I slap the back of his head.
"Get to work now," I laugh and he playfully punches my shoulder laughing and goes behind the counter, to make a milkshake.
"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard..." he's still humming to himself.
"Jack, sweetie, are you okay?" I laugh at him.
"Yeah, why? Want me to twerk some more for you? We can go in the back," He winks and smirks.
"No she's fine," I hear a deep voice answer behind me.
Luke.
"Didn't I tell you to leave me alone already?" I sigh.
"Oh Em, that skirt is a bit too short, wouldn't you say so?" He asks me, looking down at my skirt.
"I KNEW IT! I told her she should've given it to me but she didn't listen," Jack shakes his head in fake disappointment.
"Who the fuck even are you and what are you doing here? Just leave man," Luke growls at him.
"I'm fucking your girlfriend and there's nothing you could do about it," Jack smirks and I gasp.
"What the fuck did you just say?" Luke raises his voice, stepping closer to Jack.
"Chill man it's a G-eazy quote," Jack starts to laugh. "And to answer your question, I'm Jared, I'm 19 and I'm working here with your honey boo-boo."

I hold back a laugh.
Vine? Really?
"It better be a J-eevie quote," Luke growls.
"It's G-eazy," Jack corrects him.
"It's fuck you," Luke spits and turns to look at me.
Okay that was kind of funny.
"We need to talk. Somewhere private" Luke says.
I'm scared to talk to him. And I'm scared being alone in a room with him.
"Uh uh. No you don't. That's MY bitch and she's staying here," Jack answered with a high-pitched voice and snapped his fingers.
I just start laughing. This is way too funny.
"Dude I will fuck you up, so don't push it," Luke hisses.
"I don't think so. Look at these bad boys," Jack puts his arm up and showes off his muscles.
Damn. That boy does have a good body, not gonna lie.
Luke just ignores him and pulls me into the back room.
"Listen. I didn't do what you think I did. I had nothing to do with it. Nicki is the one fucking with you..not me," he assures me.
"Well unless Nicki has a dick I don't find that logical," I snap.
How dumb does he think I am?
"What?" He's acting confused.
"Don't 'what' me Luke. I've had enough of you and your acting and lying. Just find yourself another girl to mess with because I want nothing to do with you," and it's true. He crossed a line and I can't forgive him for that.
"You tell him girl!" I hear Jack from the other room.
"Dude are you gay or some shit?" Luke asks him.
"No, but I'd tap that ass," I can hear the smirk he's doing right now.
I just burst out laughing.
"That's it," Luke goes to Jack and grabs his shirt and pushes him to the counter.
"Oh, we're getting a little touchy now aren't we Jones," how is this funny to him?
"Luke stop. Please," I plead but he doesn't listen to me.
"Listen to me you little shit. Don't fuck with me. Trust me. You don't want to fuck with me," Luke threatens.
Why is he so angry all the time? He definitely has anger issues.
But I do think that Jack could beat up Luke. I mean his arms are huge. That's probably the reason he's still laughing in Luke's face.
"Stop it Luke," I step closer to him and grab his arm, trying to push it away from Jack.
He finally stops and looks at me, "I'm picking you up at 8 so we can talk in private," and before I can say anything, he storms out of the cafe.
"Are you okay?" I ask Jack.
"Yeah it's fine. I could totaly beat him up," he smirks and bumps my shoulder with his.
"Listen to me. I don't ever want you to fight with anyone because of me. Understood?" It's true. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to anyone I love, because of me.
"I'm not promising anything. What if someone jumps you or tries to assault you?" He gasps, "sexually," he adds, whispering.
I laugh at him, "okay in those moments you can do something."
"Then I promise," he smiles and I hug him.
Jack is becoming like a big brother to me.
Shit. I haven't called my family ever since I came here and it's been almost a month.

I need to call them when I get out of work.
Luke didn't leave my mind after he left the cafe.
When we finish work, Jack insists on going to my dorm with me, just in case someone would try something with me. Everyone is extra cautious with me, ever since the underwear incident.
When we get to my dorm, Jack lays down on my bed and I sit next to his legs and call my dad.
Mt relationship was never very good with my mom.
"Hi Emmy!" My dad greets me.
"Hi dad," I smile. It's good hearing his voice again.
"Why didn't you call for so long? Are you too busy with some boy?"
Uhh yes.
"No! Why would you think that? It's just, I had a lot of schoolwork and I have a job so I really didn't have time. I'm sorry," I sigh.
"It's okay Emmy. How's college?" Dad asks.
Jack starts tickling me with his foot and I try not to laugh.
"It's alright," I'd say great, but after the underwear thing, I'm not so sure.
"I really need to go, my friend is being annoying and we need to go to a mall today. Love you dad, say hi to Justin and mom," Justin is my 15 year old brother. We get along fine, I guess.
"Okay, we love you too Emmy, be safe, bye,"
I hang up.
"Is Justin your boyfriend that's desperately waiting for you to come home, but little does he know, there's a guy trying to get with you here and he probably will succeed?" Jack looks at me.
"He's my brother," I snort.
"Suuuuure, 'brother'" he signals with his hands.
"Whatever," I roll my eyes.
"Hey, where was V today?" Jack looks at me.
Oh shit. I've been so busy with Luke, that I didn't even notice my best friend wasn't at work.
"I'll call her," I quickly dial her phone number and the phone starts ringing.
It rings a few times and she finally answers.
"Yeah," she pants.
"V are you okay?"
"Uh yeah," she's panting. Is she..
Oh god.
"I was just worried about you but you're busy so I won't bother you. Bye," I quickly hang up.
"What was that? Why did you hang up on her?" Jack looks at me, confused.
"She was.. um.." "she was having sex?" Jack laughs.
"Uh yeah," I snort.
"Ooo call her again! I wanna hear it!" Jack jumps and tries to take my phone.
"No! Jack! Stop it!" I laugh and he finally stops.
He is so childish.
I hear a knock on the door. I get up to open it. When I do, I see Dean.
"Hey," he smiles
"Hi Dean, come on in," he walks in and when he sees Jack laying on my bed, he stops smiling.
"Am I interrupting something?" He lifts his eyebrow.
"Um no Jack is just keeping me company," I look at Jack and he wiggles his eyebrows.
I roll my eyes. Why is he like that?
"Well I should get going, I just wanted to say hi," Dean says and turns around to leave. When he reaches for the door handle, the door opens.
"Hi Em-" Luke stops and looks at me standing next to Jack, who is laying in my bed and then at Dean who is standing a few inches away from him.
"The fuck is this?" He looks at me, confused.
"Were you having a gang bang?" He asks and Jack wiggles his eyebrows again.
"Uh no, Dean just came to say hi and Jack is keeping me company," I look at Luke.
"I see," he murmurs. "Well get the fuck out now," he growls at Dean, who gives him a glare but leaves.
"Let's go," he grabs my wrists and pulls me through the door.
"Why are you rushing?" I almost run behind him.
"I don't wanna waste any time," he says and keeps on rushing to his car.
He drives us to some diner, that I've never seen before.
We sit down and I order a burger because I'm pretty hungry. He orders a pizza.
"Okay, now that you're here with me, alone, I wanna explain all this shit to you," he sighs.
"What's there to explain?" I ask him.
"Why don't you believe me that it wasn't me!" He's getting a bit angry.
"Who else would've done it? Jack? Dean? Some random guy?" I lift my eyebrow.
"I don't know but it sure as hell wasn't me," he looks at me and grabs my hand. "Why don't you believe me? I'd never do something like that to you," he whispers.
I'm getting angry now. I've had it with his lies.
I jerk my hand away, "bullshit! What do you want from me Luke? What did I ever do to you?" I raise my voice at him.
"I don't know," he sighs, "all I know is that I don't want to lose you," he gives me his puppy eyes.
"Would you stop lying? God, I'm so sick of it!" I snap.
He looks down, "but it really wasn't me..I promise," he whispers.
"Then who was it?" I look at him, confused.
"I don't know but it wasn't me," something in his voice is telling me, he's saying the truth.
"Okay, I believe you," I sigh.
"Really?" He looks up at me and smiles.
"Yeah re-" "here's your food," the waiter interrupts me.
Luke glares at him but I kick his leg under the table and he stops.
I thank the waiter and attack my food. When I've already eaten half of the burger I look up and Luke is staring at me.
"What?" I ask him, my mouth full.
"You're really hungry huh?" He asks me.
"Problem?" I say and finish the burger.
He laughs and starts eating his pizza. His laugh is so nice. I don't think I've ever heard it before. He's always angry or smirking.
"So what's up with that dude Jared?" He asks me and I choke on my own spit and laugh.
"Did you not see the vine?" I ask him.
"What vine?" He tilts his head, confused.
"Waddup, I'm Jared, I'm 19 and I never effing learned how to read. Never heard of it?" I laugh and he shakes his head.
"His name is actually Jack," I smile and he nods.
"So he's weird huh?"
"No. He's just special," I laugh and drink my Coca Cola.
