As I walk into the house, all I can do is stare. There are so many freaking people surrounding me. Almost more than at Luke's parties. The house is also huge. It could almost top Luke's parents' one. There's one thing that Josh has more of. Alcohol. It's like everyone has at least two bottles for themselves.

I used to not drink, but oh well, when life goes to shit, you have to have some. I'm thinking Jäger or Vodka mixed with red bull or Gin and tonic. "What do you want to drink?" I turn to Luke, who is still looking around, to see someone he knows. My voice interrupts his search and his eyes flicker to me. He starts thinking, "I'd like a cocktail," he finally says and I look at him weirdly. Since when does he drink cocktails?

"I'm just fucking with you," he chuckles, "Vodka." I nod and he smiles. He then sees Josh and Dylan playing beer pong. His eyes light up and he goes straight to them, leaving me all alone. I sigh and go to the kitchen, grabbing myself a bottle of Vodka and a red bull. As I open the cupboard to grab a glass, two hands grab my hips, "boo!" I jump, dropping the glass. Thankfully, it didn't break.

I turn around, ready to lose my shit but as I see Jack, my anger goes away. I smile at him, "hi."

His eyes are all glassy. Is he drunk? That is confirmed when he tries to stand straight but fails miserably, almost falling. He catches himself on the counter. I gasp and then start laughing when I'm sure he's okay. He then gets up and puts his hand on my shoulder, "listen Emmy, my Emmy," he mumbles and I draw my eyebrows together at him, as he looks at me in awe.

"I have to tell ya sumtin that's been on ma mind," he chokes out and I nod, letting him know that I'm listening. "I-" "there you are," Luke barges in, flicking Jack's hands from my shoulders. He smoothly wraps his arm around me and squeezes me closer to him.

"How come everytime I see you, you're with him?" Luke aks, hugging me tighter as Jack looks at his hand around my waist. Luke's face is holding a proud smirk while he's looking at Jack. I roll my eyes at that. It's really not necessary. As if Jack would ever like me. Luke always thinks that everyone likes me. It's getting annoying.

"That means you're always lookin' ma friend. A bit creeeeepy if you ask me," Jack snorts and takes a shot from my bottle of vodka. I grab it, pulling it away from him. I think he's had enough.

"Anyways Emmy, I wanna say that I-" "let's go buddy. You're way too drunk," Josh shows up, taking Jack away to some other room. I almost stopped him, because I wanted to know what he was gonna say but Luke didn't let me go to Jack. Giving up, I follow Luke to the living room where, surprise surprise, Nicki was. I look at the other couch where Dean is sitting and smile at him. He waves at me. Luke seeing that, almost freaks out but I give him a glare, which makes him stop. His grip still gets stronger though.

I really don't know why doesn't he like Dean. I mean, I know he has a thing for me and kind of wants to be with me-

Okay I understand it now.

Dean signals for me to sit next to him and just as I wanted to walk to the couch he is sitting on, Luke grabs me, lifting me up. I squeal and he chuckles. He sits down on another couch, placing me on his lap. I blush at the gesture while he's wrapping his arms around my waist.

"So, Emma," Dean starts the conversation and Luke's grip gets tighter. He snuggles his face into my neck. "How long have you two been together?" Dean's finger shifts between me and Luke. Luke is now kissing my neck. This is annoying me slowly.

"For-" "a long time," Luke shoots his head up, leaning his chin on my shoulder. I sigh and nod. Dean's fists clench, "I was talking to Emma," he says in a low voice. Luke was about to stand up and probably start a fight but I squeezed his hand, letting him know to remain calm since we just got here.

When Dean and Luke are having a staring competition, Jack walks into the living room. He smiles and sits next to me, pulling his sleeve down. I look at his weirdly but he quickly starts talking, "I'm sorry for what happened before. I'm kind of sober now," he chuckles and I nod, smiling.

"Just don't get too touchy, 'ight?" Luke intervenes and Jack immediately smirks, "Oh, like this?" And with that, he kisses my cheek and starts laughing at Luke's scowl. "You're lucky," he growls, "she's here."

"Never stopped you before," Jack murmurs to himself and Luke clears his throat, letting him know he heard him. Jack only smirks at that, "Emmy, I'll be in the kitchen, eating if you need me," he winks and with that, leaves.

They really have to stop teasing each other, because it's getting really annoying, since they're using me for teasing. Like, I get it, you don't like each other. You don't have to throw it in each other's face.

"I hate him so much," Luke whines into my neck. I chuckle and lean into him. We rock to the right and left, syncing with the music. He hums making me smile at myself. I know we probably look crazy right now, or weird or whatever but the thing is, I never cared how people think of us. I never cared that people would judge us if we did some dumb stuff. When I'm with him I'm me. And that's all that matters.

One time, we were walking around the city, talking and he got the dumbest idea; he pulled his pants all the way up and tucked his shirt in them. He looked like a crackhead. And yes, it was winter and yes, it was freezing. But he didn't care. He pulled them all the way up, ignoring the weird looks and walked down the street, with me laughing at him. It's one of my favourite memories of us.

"What are you smiling for?" Luke wakes me up from my daydream. When I look at him, there's so much happiness and desire in his eyes. It makes me smile even more. "You," I answer and he grins, pulling me in for a kiss. All this time, Nicki is looking at me as if she's about to hit me with that bottle in her hands. I ignore her and lean back into Luke.

"Hey, I have to go to the bathroom," I smile and Luke nods, letting me go. "Do you want me to come with you..so no one tries anything, you know?" The worried look on his face makes me chuckle.

When we went practically anywhere, he always wanted to go to the bathroom with me and wait in there. I always told him that I'm going to be fine, but sometimes he went with me, despite my arguing. I don't know why he always thinks that someone will like kill me or something.

Maybe because of V?

Don't think about her.

"Luke, I think I can go to the bathroom by myself," I roll my eyes and he pouts, leaning into the couch. "I'll be right back." I kiss him on the cheek and go to the bathroom.

When I get closer to the door, I hear a quiet whimper. I knock on the door, "everything alright in there?" I ask over the blasting music. There is some silence until she speaks.

"Nothing is fine. I went to the kitchen to have a drink and as soon as I came back to the room I was in before, I saw my boyfriend making out with some random girl," she chokes out.

I should talk with her about all of this, somewhere other than a bathroom. This house has a thousand rooms so I don't think that will be hard.

"Come out of the bathroom and we'll find a nice room for you to rest, okay?" After a few seconds, I hear the door unlock.

"Emma?" She says.

It's Eleanor!

Now why in the world would anyone hurt her? She doesn't deserve it. Eleanor is actually the nicest person I've ever met and has the best personality! The guy really lost someone who cared about him.

She hugs me and I do the same. We stay like that for a while. "Let's go somewhere, where the music isn't as loud," I suggest and she nods, wiping her tears.

We walk around the house until we finally find an empty room. She sits on the bed, "you want some water?" I ask her and she shakes her head. "I want some Vodka."

"You just read my mind," I smile. Someone knocks on the door, making me and Eleanor face the door. It's Jack. "I heard you wanna drink," he smirks and I laugh. How is he everywhere where I am? Is he stalking me?

"Haven't you drunk enough?" I snort and he gives me a glare.

"Who cares, let's just drink," Eleanor interrupts our glaring with Jack. She disappears and in a few seconds comes in with three bottles of alcohol. She gives me one, Jack one and keeps one for herself. We clink them together, each taking a sip.

"So you're drinking with him now huh?" Luke says from the other side of the room.

Shit.

I forgot to tell him the stuff with Eleanor. He's pissed.

"I-I," "oh shut up," he growls.

I shut my mouth, looking at him. " Do you know how worried I was? I thought that someone did something to you, for fuck's sake! And here you are, drinking with him. You know what? Fuck you. Fuck you for playing with me," he spits and I'm still looking at him, not knowing what to say. "That's what I thought. Guess I'll go drinking with Nicki now huh?" And that's when my voice comes back as a tear rolls down my cheek.

"You do that and we're done," I threaten. "You don't even know why I'm here or what happened," I exclaim.

"All that I need to know is that you're drinking with him. He wants to fucking take you away from me!" He's now talking nonsense. All he wants is a reason to be angry at me and to go drink with Nicki.

"What are you even saying?" I draw my eyebrows together.

"You really don't know?" He chuckles at my stupidity, looking at Jack. "He's so in love with you and everyone knows except you! He's basically eye fucking you most of the time," he says in a mocking tone. "Too bad you'll never get her," he smirks and I've had it. I step closer to Luke, looking at him straight in the eyes. Before he knew it, I slapped the shit out of him.

"Get the fuck out and tell your imaginary stories to Nicki. But leave me and my friends out of it. We're done," I hiss and he laughs, "What friends?" He rolls his eyes and leaves.

Before I know it, tears are rolling down my face uncontrollably. Jack is immediately next to me, hugging me. I bury my face into his neck and he holds me.

It really hurts. He didn't give a shit. I don't know why he always thinks the worst of me. I would never cheat on him. And Jack doesn't like me! What's the problem in us being best friends? He just gets way too jealous. It's not my problem he's insecure. And he just laughed in my face.

"And Jack," I look at him and his face immediately becomes worried. "I know you don't like me like that. It's just Luke that doesn't know what having a best friend means," I smile and he nods. "Let's drink, please," I say and Jack nods.

"Actually, I think I'll go home because if I get drunk, no one can take me home," Eleanor smiles and we hug her, saying our goodbyes. Jack then closes and locks the door after her.

"Vodka?" He smirks and I nod, taking it.

We start dancing, as the vision gets blurrier and the eyelids heavier. I start getting closer and closer to jack.

You know, I've never noticed how beautiful he actually is. His smile and eyes-

Stop it! You have Luke.

Not anymore.

Just for tonight. Just for tonight, I step closer to Jack, wrapping my arms around him. And we dance for a while until we're just laughing.

"Did-did ya see..how his face.. looked like?" Jack chokes out in laughter and I join him. We're now sitting on the floor, drinking and laughing. I think it's around 2am. I'm not sure. I'm really having the time of my life with him.

"He was..so angry!" I yell out and laugh even harder.

"Ma bottle is em'ty," he shows his bottle to me. He gets up, so he could get the full one on the table but he stumbles and falls down on me. We laugh as he's laying on top of me. "I-I'm so clumsy," he chuckles, and then looks at me. "Y-yea you 're," I mumble, looking into his eyes.

Here we are, he's hovering over me again. And I don't know what to do, again. Would I mind him kissing me?

Why the fuck are you thinking about Jack kissing you?!?!

I wonder how his lips would feel-

Jack interrupts my thoughts by crashing his lips against mine. I can't say I'm not kissing him back, because I would be lying. Or that his lips didn't feel so good and soft...

We keep on kissing, fastening the tempo and deepening the kiss. His tongue asks me for entrance and I let him. Soon enough, our tongues are dancing in a fast tempo. His hands are all over me and my hands are pulling on his hair, making him moan lowly. The moan is silenced by my lips.

He moves away and immediately I miss his lips on mine.

Bitch, why are you like this?

"What was that?" I ask him, panting. Again, I'm not complaining but the kiss was sudden.

Wait. Did I cheat on Luke?

Nah, we're not together.

"I don't know. But I liked it," he smirks, standing up, sitting on the bed.

Good to know that the feeling is mutual.

I get up too, standing in front of Jack. "I did too," I smile. He then wraps his arms around me, pulling me on his lap. "So..wanna continue?" He smirks and I kiss him again as an answer. He stops and moves away for an inch. Looking at me in the eyes, he smiles murmuring something and crashes his lips on mine.

Soon enough, I'm grinding on his lap, kissing him still, while his hands are resting on my butt.

The stuff that alcohol does to you..

Jack lays down with me still sitting on him, kissing him. My lips travel to his neck, sucking it a bit. I move away and see a hickey. Okay that's not really good but I'm having too much fun to care. In the heat of the moment, I start taking my shirt off but he stops me.

"Hey, as much I wanna fuck you, I don't wanna do this while you're drunk," he says and I nod. He's right. I'd probably be pissed tomorrow. He kisses me once more, "Let's go to bed, what do you say? Before you get all naked for me, not that I'm complaining," and the smirk is back again. I slap him and he laughs.

That night, I fell asleep in Jack's arms.

And how do you feel about Emma and Jack?
