《Different》Chapter 43

The sunlight hits my face, waking me up. I cover myself, since I'm naked.
Wait.
Why am I naked?
You had sex. Dumbass.
Oh my God.
I had sex.
With Luke.
I look to my left side, seeing Luke, sleeping soundly with a small grin on his face. I scoot over to kiss him and that's when I fully realise - I'm naked.
I can't let Luke see me naked!
You literally had sex with him.
I know, I know. But it's weird.
I get up, looking for my clothes. I feel a weird feeling between my legs. Is this how being sore feels like?
Finally, I find the clothes on the floor. First, I get dressed, then, make some coffee. As I'm waiting for the water to boil, a pair of muscular arms wrap around my waist. I smile as Luke plants a kiss on my neck.
"Good morning beautiful," he murmurs into my neck. I turn around and kiss him. He smiles during the kiss, "how'd you sleep?" He asks me as I pour coffee in the cups.
"Good," I answer, handing him a cup. We sit down, drinking it. Luke won't stop smiling and staring at me. It's making me nervous. Finally, I gather the courage, "why are you staring and smiling," I ask shyly.
"Last night was amazing, you know," he smirks and I look into my cup, blood rushing to my cheeks. Shit. That's so embarrassing. Luke's about to say something, when my phone starts buzzing. I get up and try to find it. When I do, the buzzing stops. I check my notifications.
Jack has been calling me for the entire night and has left dozens of voicemails and texts. Now, I kinda feel really bad. I should call him.
"Who is it?" Luke walks up behind me, looking into my phone. When he reads the name on the screen, he sighs. "Listen," he starts talking and I already roll my eyes, knowing what's coming next. "I know, he means a lot to you," his jaw is clenched, "but...I'd be much happier if you two didn't hang out."
I sigh too, "and then what? I stay alone. No friends. Plus, it would break his heart and mine. I really do care about him," I say and Luke starts grabbing my hips firmly. I can't with him and his possessiveness some times.
"You have me. You don't need anyone else." He states smiling but being fully serious with it.
I roll my eyes at that statement.
"It makes me jealous though. Seeing him around you. Knowing what's going on inside his head. Knowing that he likes you. It's killing me," he growls. Suddenly, he pushes me on the couch, making me drop my phone. Thankfully, it lands on a pillow that's on the floor since last night.
He grabs my wrists, putting them over my head. Then, his face gets closer to mine, "you're mine and only mine. I would hate for someone to ruin it. Do you get that?" He says with a low voice and I nod. "So you'll be a good girl and tell him to fuck off?" His grip tightens and I gulp, shaking my head.

Why does he always do this. Making me intimidated but turned on at the same time.
"So you don't love me enough to do it?" His eyes become cold, distant.
"Of course I do!" I defend myself. He smirks, "so you'll do it?" I realise I have no choice but to obey him, so I nod. I never would've believed that he'd blackmailed me like that. I guess I'm a bit disappointed and mad.
"That's my Em," he smiles, planting a kiss on my cheek, letting me go. He drinks the rest of his coffee.
I sigh, going to the bathroom, to get ready for school. Before brushing my teeth, I stop and look at myself in the mirror. I look...exhausted. To be honest, I don't want to go to school today, because that means I'll have to tell Jack that I can't be his friend.
I don't think I'll be able to tell him off. Not after all we've been through. He means too much to me. But I have to. For Luke. I don't know what I'd do without him. I love him and it is what it is. I have to do it if I want him to love me too.
I get ready and when I walk into the living room, Luke is already there, waiting to drive me to school.
We get into the car and drive off.
"So you'll do it?" Luke asks me again, making sure. I don't say a word. He looks at me and I look away. "You'll be better off without him. He's not a good influence, you know," he continues talking and it takes all in me to not start shouting at him. He couldn't be more wrong. Jack is so so amazing. Sure, yesterday we had a disagreement but it's all okay now. He's funny, nice, charming, ho- no. Stop it Emma.
I roll my eyes and we continue driving in silence.
Soon enough, he parks the car in front of the NYU and I get out, still not saying a word. I see Jack at the entrance, waiting for me. Just as I'm about to walk up to him, Luke grabs my arm, pulling me back to him into a hug. And by a hug, I mean he's hugging me, while I stand there, annoyed.
I know Jack is looking at us and that's why he's doing this. I can feel his eyes burning into my back. Luke and I have class together, so I don't know any other reasons why he'd be hugging me.
When he finally lets me go, I turn around to leave. But of course, he slaps my ass and I jump, rolling my eyes.
Jack looks straight up pissed by now. And everyone is looking at me. Its annoying.
I run towards Jack, jump on him and wrap my legs around his waist. He laughs, while hugging me tightly. I can kinda feel his- nope. Shut up Emma.
I know Luke is watching this. And I know Jack is enjoying the look on Luke's face. At the moment, I can't be bothered by Luke's jealousy, since this is probably the last time I'll be hugging Jack.

Someone clears his throat behind me and it doesn't take a genius to know, that that someone is Luke.
Jack sighs before Luke even says anything. "What?" Jack looks at Luke, annoyed.
Luke smiles, "well I think Em here," he kisses my head, "has something she wants to tell you. Or I can tell you," Luke's face looks so proud, it makes me kind of mad.
"I'm not saying those words," I reply coldly and Luke shrugs. "She won't be hanging out with you anymore," he points at Jack and pulls me in by my waist.
"Wha- Emmy?" He looks at me, sadness in his eyes. I want to look at him but I just can't. I can't bare seeing him like this. You can see his heart breaking. And it fucking hurts me too. I'm twiddling my thumbs, looking down at them.
"I- I'm sorry-" I can't take it anymore so I run away, into the school. I stumble through the door, making everyone stare at me. Covering my face with one hand, I run to the bathroom. I can hear Luke calling me but I don't care.
When I get to the restroom, I lock myself in a stall. And here I am, knees to my chest, crying on a toilet. I can't believe I actually told him off. God, I'm such a horrible person. But I love Luke so so much. I couldn't bare losing him.
As I sob, I hear someone walk into the bathroom. "That Emma the bitch is being a drama queen again," I hear a familiar voice.
Nicki.
Her heels echo through the entire bathroom. I wipe my tears, deciding to listen to them. "She literally stole Luke from me and now she's trying to take my attention too?!" She freaks out on her friend, who's just saying exactly and repeating what Nicki said.
Talk about a parrot.
I decide on walking out of the stall. I'm not hiding here like a little bitch. So I get up and walk to the sink, Nicki looking at me startled. I wash my hands and shaking them, making the water droplets land on Nicki. She scowls but doesn't say anything. I wear a winning smile as I walk out the bathroom.
My smile quickly disappears as I walk out and see Jack waiting for me. I can't deal with this right now, so I ignore his calls and speed up my pace. Ignoring all of my instincts to go back to him, I walk into class, which I have with Luke.
Great.
I'm really hurt and angry with him right now. So I don't really want to see him. It's annoying how I can feel all the eyes on me, since everyone saw the drama that happened in front of the school. Everyone is probably wondering what I'll do - sit next to Luke or someone else.
I choose to ignore him and sit in the back. As I sit down, I still feel all the eyes burning holes into me. Like I'm not hurt enough.
Finally I've had it.
I look at the girl who's been staring at me for the past 5 minutes and raise my eyebrows, "what?" I hiss and she quickly turns around.
That's what I thought.
I open my notebook, looking at my notes, when I feel a strong arm on my shoulder. I sigh, looking back and seeing Luke, kind of...angry? Why is he angry? Because I'm angry with him? Well I have every right to be. But if he wants me to leave Jack, to be with him, then fine. I'll do it. And I did.
So he should be happy. I'm sure he was when he saw the expression on Jack's face.
"Can I join you?" He gives me the puppy eyes and I shake my head, running my hands through my hair. "I want to be alone," I reply coldly but of course Luke doesn't leave. He grabs a chair, with someone seated on it. The guy tries to argue but when he sees who he's talking to, he quickly jumps up, letting Luke to take the chair.
I stare at my notes, not reading them at all - just avoiding eye contact with Luke. He grabs my hand, "what's wrong baby?" He asks softly, making me melt a bit but I quickly snap out of it. I move my hand but he grabs it again.
"I wanted you to do that for me. For us. So we can be happy and without any bumps on our road. I really do love you Em. Even though you may not think that, I do. So please don't be mad at me," he says quietly and I sigh.
"Cause if you'll be mad at me, I'll be really sad," he continues and I chuckle.
"I'll be fine," I reply after what seems like forever. "I just need some time to get used to it." He grins and kisses my cheek.
"Can you do something for me?" I ask Luke quietly, biting my lip nervously. He nods, letting me know to continue.
"Would you stop hanging out with Nicki then? It kinda bothers me too," I ask shyly and he laughs.
"Don't worry. I would never fall for her. So I don't see a problem in hanging out with her."
***
Sooo Emma stopped hanging out with Jack. Oops?
What do you think about it? Did she do the right thing?
Is Luke in any place to demand that?
And what do you think about Luke disagreeing with Emma's proposal?
