Possessed Thoughts - Luke and Jai Brooks Fanfiction.

Chapter 5

"Where shall we gooooo?" I asked playfully focusing on the road, still smiling from my recent shots that were just fired.

"Well, I need to meet Ruby at Starbucks and then we can go shopping, I want to treat you after the event that just occurred." He smirked.

"You have a lot of plans and friends don't you?" I asked laughing, "Who the fuck is Ruby?" I continued chuckling.

"You know Ruby! You should know everyone as you're on the fittest, and most popular girl in the school list!" He smirked.

"Hang about, what do you mean lists?" I laughed.

"Another thing! On the pupils website that the nerds created, you get to vote for who should be looked up to and who's the fittest, most popular etc, and you're at the top of them all! Have you not noticed people doing things to look like you, or sound like you? 'Hang about' is a thing now thanks to you and Layla." He replied chuckling.

I kept quiet for a moment wondering about how to reply to that before Jai showed me his phone and indeed there I was at the top pf the most popular girls list, just above Mackenzie.

"I beat the bitch!" I cheered, "Who's at the top of the most popular boys?" I joked, and Jai showed me his phone again.

It was him.

"I don't know why its me exactly but i'll roll with it." He said, shrugging.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket and seen as were at a stop light, I pulled it out and checked.

'From: Psycho Boy'

I shuddered and continued to open the message.

'You're very hot when you're angry, might wind you up more often... Definitely deserve to be onto of that list.'

How did he know? Coincidence much?

I blocked his number in hope that it would leave me alone, and placed my phone down before it buzzed again causing Jai to look at the screen too.

'From: Unkown'

'You will never be left alone by me.'

"Oh G-god." I gasped, pulling over to the side of the road.

"Who is it?" Jai asked, completely unaware that I could be the school psychos, and more to the point his twin brothers victim.

"Luke." I whispered.

--

"Im going to the bathroom." Jai announced, standing up from the table and leaving me and Ruby to ourselves. I now recognised her and realised that she was in most of my lessons at school.

"You okay?" Ruby asked me, I must still seem a bit shaken up or something. I shook it off.

"Yeah," I smiled, "What do you know about Luke?" I asked her.

"As in Jais twin? Oh. You should keep your distance." She laughed, as I fake smiled. 

"Why? What has he done?" I replied.

"Its happened to around three/four girls now, he seduces them I guess and classes them as his girlfriend, treating them like princesses, before they all began coming to school with scars and bruises, and then one day they were there, the next, they disappeared." She shrugged as if it was nothing.

"And you're guessing it was him?"

"Who else could it have been, all of them have gone missing."

"And does Jai know?" I asked, as she began laughing again.

"Definitely, but he never wants to talk about it and will never acknowledge it. Try all you want, you'll never get anything out of him. I mean I love him to pieces, he's my best friend but he hasn't even spoken to me about it yet." She finished, just as Jai came and sat back down, leaving me to think again.

--

"You ready to go then?" Jai asked, breaking me out of my trance for around the sixth time today.

"Yeah." I smiled, giving Ruby a hug before walking outside and getting back into the car.

"Shall we go shop-"

"Whats going on with Luke?" I interrupted him.

"What? Nothing, he's fine." He smiled, shaking his head.

"Cut the bullshit, and tell me, Ruby, your best friend, hasn't even been able to have the conversation with you as all you've done is cut her off every time she's asked, so you tell me. And now." I finished with a glare.

"Its none of your business!" He said, getting louder.

"Well, Jai. Seen as all ive been getting is texts today about how I'm being stalked by your twin brother and how i'm most likely his next 'victim', and trust me, I know what that means, I've spoken to people. So either you tell me whats wrong with your brother or I go missing and you never see me again..." I stopped for a minute and could feel tears in my eyes.

"Im scared, Jai, what will he do?" I questioned, tears now falling.

"Im sorry, I'm so so sorry." he whispered putting his head in his hands.

"What do you mean? Don't do this to me, Jai. I need you right now, you an Layla are all I have." I said through tears.

"It was back when we were 13, mum and dad had taken me and Luke to football, and whilst we were there they were gonna go get stuff for our new bedroom that we were all excited about. Anyway, once the match had finished, we won, 3-2, and we were so happy, buzzing." He laughed, "We waited for our parents to come collect us and we waited, and waited. And they didn't come for us." He paused, as I wiped my eyes.

"So, coach rang them and they didn't answer, so he rang my Nonna who was in tears, I remember what coach told us so clearly, its tattooed on my brain, I can almost hear him like he's right next to me saying it." He stopped and rubbed his eyes.

"Boys, i'm so sorry - your mum and dad have been in a crash, neither of them survive-." He stopped, and interrupted himself with a gasp, and went silent.

"Jai, i'm so sorry, I had no idea." I said, as another tear rolled down my cheeks, I watched him sit in the passenger seat, thinking, examining the rest of the cars in the Starbucks car park.

"Its okay, me and Beau were devastated and grieved for around two years, like any normal person would after losing both their parents. But Luke- Luke was another story.

He was never the same after they were gone. He isolated himself and didn't speak to anyone for around four years, in that time he wound himself up so much, that he became mental. Like a full on mental patient."

"Oh my god. And thats why he is like he is?" I interrupted him.

"Not exactly, we took him for therapy and he began to speak to us and was the normal Luke again almost, I could feel that there was still something different about him. But then he went missing for a fortnight after that and, went back to his old ways, except this time he lashed out at us and took it out on drugs and alcohol, and thats how the Luke today became." He paused.

"He won't tell anyone where he went." The words that made me shiver.

"He told us what he did to those girls, as in me and Beau and threatened he would do the same if we told anyone." He finished.

"What did he do?" I braced myself.

"Killed every single one of them, the same way, slashing an 'L' through their stomachs and stabbing them until they were fully dead."
