Emily's Pov

I looked around the hall for Alex, but I couldn't see her.

Its been a half-hour since Luke left me with his girlfriend, and I have done nothing but cry.

My make-up is gone since I had to wash my face after it smeared all over.

After another few minutes of looking for Alex, I decided to head back to the dorms.

********

As I walked through the hallway to my room, I could hear loud moaning.

When I finally got to my room, I quickly opened it and walked in, hoping that the moaning would get softer, but it didn't.

I groaned as I walked over to my cupboard and quickly got dressed in some pajamas.

I walked over to my bed and climbed in under the sheets and cuddling up to my pillow.

I closed my eyes, enjoying the silence, but of course, that had to be ruined by the loud moaning.

I groaned in frustration as I got up from my bed and walked over to the door before walking out of the room.

I walked passed a few doors before stopping at the one that the moaning is coming from.

I softly knocked on the door, but they just kept going. I could hear the squeaking of the bed as it hits the wall, and I couldn't help but scrunch up my face at how disgusting this is.

I knocked a little louder, but there was still no answer, so I started banging on the door.

The moaning stopped after a while, and I could hear shuffling in the room before I heard the lock turn.

My eyes widened when it revealed Madison covered in a sheet and Luke beside her only in his boxers.

I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to keep the tears back before opening them again.

"C-Could you guys p-please keep it down?" I stammered as I looked passed both of them, not wanting to make any eye contact.

"To be honest, I don't think that's possible," Madison said, making me glance at her to see a smirk on her face.

My heartbeat was increasing by the minute as I looked at her. She didn't even look embarrassed at all.

"But could you try. I'm trying to sleep," I said in a soft voice.

She glanced at Luke before looking back at me. "Yeah sure, we'll try," she said, making me nod in response.

"Thank you," I muttered before glancing at Luke to see him already looking intensely at me.

I could feel tears at the back of my eyes as I turned around and started walking away.

"Emily, wait," I heard his voice call from behind me.

I slowly stopped in front of my room and turned around to face him. His brown orbs showed so much emotion.

Love.
Guilt.
Sadness.
Hurt.

"What?" I asked softly.

"I just wanted to say sorry. You know, for back there," he said while shifting from one foot to the other.

"It's fine. Couples often have... Uh....you know," I said, not being comfortable saying the word.

Luke looked down at his feet and shifted from one foot to another.

"Goodnight, Luke," I whispered and walked into my room before collapsing onto my bed and drifting away.

*********

Beep!! Beep!! Beep!!

"Ugh!!" I groaned as I stretched my arm out and pressed the snooze on the alarm clock.

I lazily got out of my bed, rubbing my eyes in the process.

I looked over at Alex's bed to see her still fast asleep. I smirked at myself as I grabbed my pillow and walked over to her bed before I started hitting her with it.

"What the hell?" Alex exclaimed as she shot up from bed wide-eyed. I looked at her expression and immediately started laughing.

"God, Emily. You nearly gave me a heart attack," she said while taking slow breaths.

"Don't be so dramatic." I said, making her scoff at me, and I couldn't help but smile.

"I'm going to take a shower," I stated as I quickly got some clothes out of my drawers and heading into the bathroom.

********

After I've finally finished, I headed back into the room to see Alex already dressed.

"Aren't you going to shower?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.

"I showered last night before the dance, I'm not doing it again," she said while rolling her eyes making me laugh at her.

********

I strolled into my first class that was "History." I scanned the classroom until my eyes met Luke's. His eyes lit up when he saw me, and he quickly motioned me over.

I wanted to deny, but that would be mean, so I just went up to him and took a seat next to him.

"Hey," he said as I got out my pencil and notepad.

"Hi," I greeted without looking at him.

"Emily, I just wanted to apologize again for last night," he said, and I immediately got uncomfortable with the topic.

"Luke, it's fine, okay?" I said, giving him a fake smile.

"Okay," he mumbled.

After just sitting there waiting for the bell to ring, I got extremely bored.

"So, where did you guys meet?" I asked as I looked at him to see him in deep thought.

"Huh?" He asked while looking confused.

"You and Madison. Where did you meet?" I asked again.

"Oh, at a night club," he said, making me scrunch up my nose a little bit.

"How did you meet?" I asked.

"To be honest, I don't remember. I just woke up one morning to her next to me in a bed," he said.

Okay, so Madison is a slut, and Luke is a man whore who starts dating someone after sleeping with them.

"Oh," I mumbled.

"But I only went out because I was dealing with so much at that stage, and I just couldn't take it anymore," he said.

"Oh," I mumbled once again. "So she's just some slut you met," I blurted out and immediately covered my mouth. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to say that," I rushed out.

Luke gave me a hard look. "She's not that bad, Emily. She's nice, and that's why I like her. You shouldn't just look at what's outside, Emily. She might look like a slut, but she isn't one."

"She would be a slut when she's out fucking someone else while we're together, but she's not. Instead, she's with me. So don't just call someone a slut if you don't know them," Luke spat and turned around so that he was facing the front of the class.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled once again before standing up and going to another desk.
