Everyone thinks life is full of happiness, love, hope. But in reality life is a roller coaster it goes up and down it's full of all sorts of surprises.
Which brings me back to what Rikki needed me to do.
Rikki: I need you to get Luke to go on a date with me
Me: ok
Rikki: if you don't hell will come for you
Me: got it I'll take care of it
Then she left. I closed the door and just closed my eyes. I texted Luke asking if we can hang out. I hated that I had to make him and Rikki date. When I thought I actually had feelings for him.
Then I headed to Luke's house.
Luke: hey
Me: can we talk outside
Luke: yeah
We sat on the steps.
Me: who do you like
Luke; why
Me: it's just a question
Luke: Rikki why
Me: that's actually funny because she likes you too
Luke: really
Me: yeah and she wants to date you
Luke: cool I'll text her later
Me: well I have to go
I hated doing this. I knew I wouldn't of had a chance with him of course he liked the sluttiest girl in school no doubt everyone did.
I just left his house. I walked. I don't know why but when ever I take walks it helps me think and run away from my problems. I hated being in my house so damn much.
I ran into Carter while I was walking. I tried so hard to ignore him until he grabbed my arm.
Carter: Hannah what's wrong
Me: I can't right now
Then I started crying and then I hugged Carter and just cried.
Carter: hey what happened
Me: I want to just leave this fucked up town
Carter: do we need to invite everyone over for a night in the barn like we use to
Me: yeah but I don't want luke there
Carter: why what happened
Me: I was stupid to think I had a chance with him
Carter: wait it rejected you
Me: not exactly
Carter: do you want to talk about it
Me: not really
Carter: I'll get everyone and I'll be over in an hour.
Me: ok
Then I left. I went home changed into a sweater and sweatpants. I grabbed some pops, alcohol, snacks, and some blankets and pillows.
Then everyone showed up in the barn.
We all sat in the circle on the blanket cover floor.
Spencer: why isn't luke here
Carter: Hannah didn't want him to come
Matt: why
Me: I don't want to talk about it
Spencer: what happened
Alex: is it because Rikki showed up
Me: how did you know
Alex: I was walking to the library and I passed your house and noticed Rikki there.
Me: yeah it's kinda her fault but I was dumb to think I even had the slightest chance with him.
Spencer: you asked him who his crush was and he said Rikki and now they are dating
Me: yeah I was dumb that I thought it was possible that a guy I actually like would date me
Carter: that doesn't make sense why he said Rikki he can't stand her
Me: wait what
Carter: he hated Rikki he has a crush on someone else
Me: who?
Carter: he likes you
Me: then why did he tell me Rikki.
Carter: I have no clue
I took the bottle of vodka and started drinking it.
Spencer: maybe he didn't want you to know
Me: I'm just done being someone people play with it's happened to many times.
Spencer: I know but maybe luke is different
Me: Luke is the most popular guy in school he will just be a player first he will play Rikki and then go to me
Matt: maybe he knew about the whole Rikki thing
Me: I doubt that
Matt: don't be so hard on him he might now
Me: there's only that small chance I can't just rely on that
Carter: maybe matts right
Me: I'm just done with all this drama.
Then someone knocked on the door.
I answered it was Luke.
I closed the door behind me as I stepped outside.
Me: Luke what are you doing here
Luke: I know why you didn't invite me and I totally get it
Me: you do
Luke: you felt like you never had a chance and that's not true because you do
Me: no I don't
Luke: I knew that Rikki was going to blackmail you into making me date her so that's why I just went on a date with her and break up but I actually like you.
Me: really
Luke: yes I didn't want you to get hurt
Me: that's so sweet
That's when I realized maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.
