Have fun reading this.

Luke's POV

Silence. isn't it just beautiful? I'm just waiting for the first idiot to speak up.

No one ? No one? I thought looking around.

Well then now I'm just thinking of who's going to be the first idiot I kill.

Dave keeps shifting uncomfortably on his seat.

Russ looks like he wants to hightail it out of here all the while looking between us.

As for Jack the fool looks like he wants to bloody smile .

Just wait till I get my hands on him. I...

" so we gonna order anything yet? " Dave asks smiling sheepishly at me.

Russ groans and bangs his head on the table.

Jack starts laughing hysterically.

While I practically fly over the table planning to wring Dave's neck.

Russ and Jack quickly grab me, struggling to hold me down to my seat.

" calm down man." Russ says trying to reason with me. " We don't wanna get kicked out of Starbucks just because you can't hold down the effects of a crappy day. "

Jack is still laughing getting me more heated than ever over this matter.

" Crappy? Crappy? You don't know anything about crappy. Crappy is when you are practically penniless and then you have to work for the annoying brat you hate. That is what you bloody call crappy. "

" okay we get it. will you calm down now?" Russ asks sounding kind of scared but trying to keep his cool at the same time.

That only angered me more than ever. " no I won't " I reply almost yelling. I notice people giving us dirty looks and roll my eyes. Then I glare at Jack for chuckling.

" okay listen, I get that you're annoyed but I didn't know she even lives around that neighborhood. " Jack says like it's no big deal.

I should just kill the guy already.

" I thought you said you've worked there for a very long time? "

" yeah Jack you should have known. " Dave says sounding amused.

I and Russ roll our eyes.

That is so not funny but what's funny is the fact that Jack looks like he's about to make Dave bleed .

At least that would cheer me up a bit.

"The reason I didn't know was probably because she doesn't leave the house. I'm not supposed to know everything about everyone for God's sake."

I just roll my eyes out of annoyance. At this rate I might just lose my eyes.

" you're lucky, your job pays well. Forget that she's there and do the job."

" yeah man $500 a week is no joke." Dave says with wide eyes

" after all how much trouble can the little brat cause? " Russ also contributes.

I guess they are right. How much trouble could that thing possibly cause?

Linda's POV

I am seriously freaking out right now . This can not be happening. What did I ever do to deserve this. I take a couple of deep breaths before I realize I'm actually having difficulty breathing. Great just great.

what do I do if Luke starts working here. Only two things can definitely come out of this.

One Luke gets to take his revenge on me daily.

And two the one I actually dread the most, my dad finds out about everything which has been going on at school. I don't want him to be disappointed at me.

I feel like crying and I stop pacing. I slowly curve into a ball on the floor, ready to let the tears flow. I look around my room and I don't see the artistic designs on the wall. Or the picture of Shawn Mendes hanging on the wall. I don't even see the walk in closet filled with the most expensive clothes , shoes and accessories. Instead I am reminded of the first time we came here . I am reminded of dad placing both hands on my shoulders, looking into my eyes, telling me that I am strong and how I am supposed to act that way. How I am supposed to hide the pain so it doesn't consume me and eat me up. So it doesn't destroy what makes me Linda.

In a way I have failed him . After all these years I still have issues realizing just who I am. Or maybe I actually have issues just letting the real me show.

But I don't want to fail him anymore.

I stand on my feet feeling more determined than I have ever felt in my entire life . I refuse to shed the tears stinging my eyes.

I quickly call Esperanza. But she doesn't pickup.

Like duh the senorita has got work to do.(Spanish accent)

I so sound like her right? right? riggghhht!!!?

" This is seriously not the time to annoy me." I groan in frustration. " Now who am I gonna call? I practically have no friends. Just then I remember. And I inhale deeply as my eyes widen . " oh angel of friends please forgive me. Guardian of friends please forgive me and...?

All those up there that have anything to do with friends please forgive you. Just call Leah already.

" hump! Fine already. "

" hello caller it's your your girl Leah . You know the password. Anything juicy then you talk but if not. Then get off the line . Unless you're a cute little puppy or really sweet kid in need of my help."

" Nah it's just your best friend. "

" oh my God you're calling!!! " she shrieks loudly.

"Any louder and I would lose my ear"

Huh care to do that again?

" sorry, it's just I am so excited you called. You never call. " Leah continues in her girly voice.

Let's totally start crying and give you an award.

Annoying me please shut up.

" yeeeaaah, I'm about to bring more excitement into your life. Mission idiotic butthead, I need you at my house right now. Please tell me you're free?" I ask her hoping she's actually free.

" first of all I'm totally free but who's the idiotic butthead? I kind of got lost at that part. " she says sounding confused.

" now who could be my one and only nemesis? "

" huh...oh oh..." she says as realization comes to her.

" yeah oh. So you coming?" I ask with hands crossed.

" can't you see me. I'm totally in Barry Allen mode right now. "

I knew I could count on her. " yeah yeah flash, come save the day. "

Now I can find a solution to my Luke problem.
