Unconditionally [Luke Brooks Story]

~ Chapter Two ~

~ Chapter Two ~

I woke up when i could feel the heat from the sun on my hand that was on the edge of my bed, i squinted my eyes open and saw the window open letting in the fresh breeze from outside, the smell of flowers from our garden flowing in the air, i could still feel Beau's muscular arm around my waist as i started to wake up more properly, i smiled knowing that at least i had him again.

I carefully pried his arms off me and crawled out of the bed, i then tiptoed out if my room down to the kitchen.

There was a piece of paper on the shining clean marble bench top.

"Kelly, I have left for work, i would have woken you but i saw you with Beau and i knew that you had caught up with him and must've stayed up late, so i left you both to sleep. 

There is a pancake mix in the fridge so make yourselves some breakfast, i hope you catch up with the rest of the Brooks family, see you later love.

Love Mum x".

I pushed the note aside and then opened the fridge, i grabbed the pancake mix and put it on the bench top, then i switched on the stove top and put a pan on it along with some oil poured into the pan.

I poured four circles of pancake mix on the pan and waited for bubbles to appear in them, once they did i flipped them, then i finished that batch and put them on a plate, pouring another batch on the pan.

I turned around to get two glasses from the cupboard and saw Beau leaning against the door frame smiling.

I smiled back as i picked up the glasses and then poured apple juice into each one.

Beau and I ate breakfast together and discussed what the last five years had been like.

I told him that i hadn't enrolled at Penola yet since i had only been back less than a day, then he said that he has graduated but he would still pick me up from school, he got his P plate and can now drive, he has a car and everything. 

Since Luke and Jai are at school right now we walked to the Brooks residence once i had dressed myself. 

Beau got dressed and walked with me around the house, I reached a room that had a sign saying "Luke & Jai's Room".

I hesitated before pushing the door open and entering the room, i saw that they still shared a bunk bed, but the had separate sides of the room for their things, i looked at Jai's things and saw that he was still the same as i remembered him, then i walked to Luke's side, looking at everything, then i saw that on his desk he had a photo of us framed.

Does he still care?

I picked it up and looked at our faces, we both looked so happy, it was a photo of us sitting in the tree, i noticed every single detail of our faces, the dot on his nose, the dot on my cheek, the genuine smiles and the shape of our eyebrows, the closeness of our faces, they were pressed against each other, cheek to cheek, eyebrow to eyebrow, eye to eye, we used to be so close.

I remember always feeling like i belonged somewhere when i was with him but no i feel like i have no belonging, no meaning, no purpose.

After spending the day with Beau i walked back home because the twins would be home soon and i told Beau i didn't want to see them until i had time to think about my life and what im going to do.

He understood.

I sat at my desk in my room on the Penola website, i was enrolling myself when my phone buzzed.
