Picture It - a Luke brooks Love Story

Chapter Fifteen

Lukes POV

"James, I don't know what came over me, I just, okay you will probably hate me for saying this, but i really like Emily, there is just something different about her, she's perfect, and for me to see someone hurt her like I know Jake has, literally kills me inside. I don't want to see her hurt, ever."

James was silent for a moment and he seemed to be thinking about something. He finally spoke after the long silence. "Luke, I would never hate you for liking Em, I didn't like it at first, but I can already see you're going through stuff for her and she doesn't even know. That shows me enough already." James said smiling.

It was so nice that James believed me now when I say I would never hurt Emily. 

"What are we going to do?" I asked James silently so no one else heard. "I have no idea, I'm gonna think about it for a while." he said grabbing his glass of water and taking a sip. 

Emilys POV

I wasn't one for snooping around and listen to others conversations, but I couldn't help myself and listen to James and Luke talking. I hid behind the door to go out the kitchen. I couldn't seem them but I could hear everything. 

My heart broke into a million pieces when I heard Luke tell my cousin that Jake did that to him. I felt my eyes become thick with tears, but I stayed silent. I needed to hear more. "He cheated on her James." Luke said so softly it was almost a whisper. I almost lost it right, I almost broke down, I thought Jake was something special, that he would never do something like this. he was so Innocent. 

"He cheated on her with Taylor, as in the girl I went out with the other night." Luke said with a cracking voice. I couldn't help but cover my mouth when a whimper escaped. I don't think they heard me though. 

I couldn't listen any longer, I needed to clear my head, I ran towards the front door and walked straight, not even taking my phone. 

I walked, taking different turns at different intersections. I didn't know where I was going, I just wanted to get away from everything. I cried the whole way, not hectically, but small sobs only I could hear. I didn't need people thinking I was a mental patient. I got stares from a few people when I walked past, even from a hobo, who I'm sure had never heard of a shower, yet he was judging me on crying.

I had been walking for about 1 and 1/2 hours when I thought maybe I should go back, I couldn't just run away from all my problems, literally. 

I took a look around to see if I knew where I was. I didn't notice anything. I reached into my pocket and groaned when I remembered I didn't take my phone with me. Could this get any worse.

I walked into a small cafe, there were only a few other people and everyone was talking quietly amongest themselves. I only had a ten dollar bill in my pocket and I hoped it would get me something to fill my stomach up just a bit. I hadn't eaten since this morning and I could hear my stomach growling. 

I ordered a bagel for $5.99. I thanked the lady at the counter and took my bagel and sat at a table. 

I thought more and more about everything today. Luke and Jake's fight. Jake cheating on me. I couldn't help but let a small tear roll down my cheek. I was crushed, mainly because I thought Jake was someone he wasn't, and that he would cheat on me, after I had been nothing but good to him. 

I ate my bagel and realized I need to try get a hold of someone to pick me up. I only knew Jake, James and Luke's number off by heart, and I sure I wanted to call neither of them. I had to though, somehow.

I walked up to the sweet lady who served me behind the counter. I hope she would by story. 

"Hello Ma'am, how can I help you?" she said as she hadn't ever seen me before. I smiled and replied, "Hi yes, actually, I left my phone at home while I took a walk here, and I have no clue how to get back, could I please use your phone to call my cousin to come pick me up?" 

She seemed a little scared to give the phone to me and I thanked her a million times after she did. "No call longer then 10 minutes." she said sweetly but with a hint if sternness in her tone. I nodded at her orders and dialed James' number. 

"Hello." James said 

"Hey, its Emily, Umh I decided to go for a walk after I..." I quickly remembered he didn't know I knew anything, "got back from breakfast with you guys, I don't know where I am?" 

"Okay, explain your surroundings." he said sounding annoyed.

"I'm in a coffee shop called, Cafe Zilla." Its on the corner of a cross road.

I said trying my hardest to sound the words fastly and clearly, since I didn't;t want the lady to get angry with me.

"Okay, I think I may know where you are, stay there at that cafe okay?!" 

"Okay, thank you James, I'm sorry." I said and put down the phone.

I thanked the lady again before walking out of the cafe to sit on one of the outside tables so I could see when James came. 

I took James about 45 minutes till he pulled up into the parking lot. I walked slowly towards to him and opened the car door. Thankfully he was alone. 

"Hey." he said sounded relaxed and calm.

"Hey, listen, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean for anything like this to happen, I can't believe I forgot my phone, I just.." James interrupted me, "Hey, its okay, its not your fault." he said it with such a reassuring and truthful tone that I almostbelived the words that came out of his mouth, even though it was my fault. 

The whole car ride was silent, I knew James wasn't saying anything because he was scared he was going to say something about Jake, even though, technically, I still didn't know anything. 

I needed to decide if I wanted to keep it that way.
