My famous brothers

45. His love.

Lucy's POV
I Woke up lying never to Luke who was still asleep. We must've fallen asleep during the movie. I rolled over only to see that Jake was gone. So I got up to go look for him.

I found him in his room but when he saw me he immediately looked guilty.
"Sorry did I wake you?" He asks.
"No I woke up just now. Luke's still asleep though." I said and sat down on the edge of his bed. "So what's up?" I ask.
"I don't know Lu. Nothing feels right anymore. I'm stressed to the max, I have to look after you and now Luke, I'm back living at my parents because I'm too scared to go home and I.... I'm struggling Lu." His voice cracks and he leans on his dresser for support.
"Jakes take a breath. Your safe here and mum and dad will take care of me and Luke and you. You don't have to carry all of this in your own anymore." I say.
"I still failed though." He says. I notice he's biting his lip and his knuckles are white where he's gripping the dresser. "You left because I failed to tell you the whole truth." He says.
"What truth?" I ask. And he sighs and turns around.
"Luke came to me when it was bad. He wanted me to help him. He wanted to go back to see you but he couldn't the way he was. And I... turned my back on him. I let him get worse because I was tired of fixing his messes. It was wrong and selfish. But Luke got better for you Lu. He wanted to see you again, it was Luke who asked Mum if you could come live with us. I know you learnt a horrible thing about him but he's more good then bad." Jake looks defeated as he breathes a sigh of relief.
"How long you been holding that one in for little bro." We both jump at the sudden appearance of Luke in the doorway.

We both move to help him but he stops us.
"I'm still capable of standing guys." He says with a tired smile and we both ease a little.
"Is that true. You wanted me to come stay with you two." I ask him.
"It's true. Your my little sis Lulu. I know I didn't exactly show it very well but I didn't want to call you and be disappointed in me for turning out the way I did. It was stupid I know but I needed you to get to know me as me before you learnt about that part." He says and I get it. It's all makes sense. They're silence was because they didn't want me to get the wrong idea and worry about Luke or turn on him the way Jake had.
"I'm sorry for leaving. I just... I wanted to remember life when we were a team. Siblings vs the world." I say. I start to duffle with my hands slightly and jake sits down next to me.
"Forever and always." He says giving a nudge.
"Siblings through and through." Luke adds and I giggle a little.
"No matter what the Deckers stand as one." I smile. Id nearly forgotten our little motto. We'd come up with it when we were all so young that it was always rough but Luke said it gave it charm.

"Now there's a skateboard ramp out there and I still have to beat you." Jake whispers in my ear and I laugh.
"What about Luke?" I say and Luke smiles back.
"You two go have fun. All I wanna do is nap and that's not much fun for either of you to watch." He jokes and I walk over and very gently give him a hug.
" I love you big bro." I mutter.
" I love you too lil sis." He whispers back using his free hand to hug me.
"Awwwwwww." We laugh at jake who's laying on his stomach staring at us kicking his legs happily. "It's just... it's so CUTE!" He fake sobs and we all laugh.

So me and Jake went down to the garden and challenged each other. He was actually very impressive in his board. I thought he'd be a little rusty because he was constantly working but it turns out he's improved massively.
"Beat that." He whispered in my ear competitively and l laughed. Of course I did and left him puzzled. And this went on till the sun went down.

"You two looked like you were having fun." Our mum says as we walk in.
"Yeah we were." Jake replies and they share a weak smile. I know Jake is still trying to rebuild their  relationship.
"Come one dinners ready." She said and we followed her to the kitchen.

We began eating when suddenly dad came in with a plate of food.
"Did he eat anything?" Our mum asks as he sits down.
"A little. But he says he's not got much of an appetite" he huffs as he pokes at his food.
"He was the same in hospital." Jake says and everyone looks up at him.
"How so?" Our mum asks.
"Well me and Stacy would bring lunch for him cause hospital food sucks. And he'd just stare at it and go deep in thought. Sometimes I could get him to have a couple bites. But it was Stacy who'd help him get through his food."
"Stacy?" Our dad asks confused.
"She's Luke's girlfriend." I say.
"Ohhh. So do you think this Stacy could help him again?" Our dad asks.
"Worth a shot. She said she'll come after she's felt with movers." Our mother and father nearly choke on their food.
"Are they both...? " our mum asks before sipping her water and I see Jakes eyes widen.
"Oh lord no. She's moving from her apartment to a nicer house. Luke was helping her out with all of it." Jakes said.

After that we just carried on talking whilst we ate dinner.

Luke's POV

"Hey cutie." I smile at the sound of Stacys' voice. 
"Hey." I say. I know I sound tired and I feel defeated and need her. I miss her.
"Babe what's wrong?" She says and I lay back on my pillows.
"I miss you." I say.
"I miss you too. I miss our cuddles and movie nights. Waking up excited to see you on set." I don't realise I'm smiling as She lists all the things I love most.
"What about my breakfast?" I say and she giggles.
"Yes I miss your home cooked breakfasts." She laughs.
"So how's your scary movers." I joke.
"I wouldn't know." Now I'm confused and sit up.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because... look to your right." I look and there she is stood in the door way.
"I have to go." I say and she laughs and walks over to me and kisses me.

"What are you doing here?" I ask smiling.
"Your more important to me Luke." She hesitates a little and I tilt my head.
"What's wrong baby?" I ask and she shakes her head. 
"Nothing. I was just thinking about... how much I love you." She says and I smile.
"I love you too." I say.

We ended up cuddled up together watching a movie together. Then I realised.
"Wait do my parents know your here?" Her eyes widen and a small laugh escapes my lips.
"Oops." She says.
"How on earth did you get in then?" I ask. And she looks at me shyly.
"You realise your parents keep the door unlocked just like you do." She says.
"You cheeky little-" but she cuts me off.
"Well this ways more fun. Sneaking around just like we used to." She says and I smile.
"We did have fun then didn't we." I said and then we kissed.

Everything i missed about her. Was here in my arms. Her sparkling eyes. Her soft hair running down her shoulders, brushing against my hand. Her soft lips and gentle voice. Everything about her was perfect. She made me weak in a way I could never be angry at her for. She is my everything.

When I woke up I saw Stacy curled up in my arms with her head resting gently on my chest. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. I would do everything in my power to protect her from any harm.
