Unforgettable (Jai Brooks)

Chapter 8

Luke's Pov

"Leave her alone" I shout.
But by the time I had interfered, it was already too late. I approach the old bum and pin him to the floor. I had already called the cops in advance so I decided to hold him off until then. He kept trying to struggle and reach for something. At first I couldn't tell what it was. Especially from all the rain and the small amount of light being emitted. I then notice it was a syringe and I made sure to keep him as still as possible. The last thing I would want is to be unconscious.

I let out a sigh of relief when I hear the sirens becoming louder. The cops run up quickly and I get up. They handcuff the guy and put him into a patrol car. They begin to question the man. Meanwhile the paramedics put the girl on a lift and were trying to hurry up and take her to the hospital. I stay back to tell my side of the story.

Jai's Pov

I stare out the window as the pouring rain blurs the passing cars. There are people attempting to escape the rain. Others just pull out their umbrellas or continue to walk by as if nothing has changed. I take a sip from my hot drink and tap my finger on the table. I decided that it'd be best to head out before it got too late. I get up and scooch in the chair. I take a quick look at my phone to check the time. I made my way out the door and pulled the hoodie over my head. I take long strides and head for the big intersection. I call for a taxi and get in.

"Where to?" The cab driver asks.

I tell him the address and we make small talk. This guy seemed very joyful and humorous. I joked around with him too and when it was time to leave, I made sure to give him a good tip.

I quickly run up to the gate door and take out my keys. The rain was still pouring and it seemed as if it weren't going to stop anytime soon. I get in and make my way down the driveway and stand in front of the door. I unlock the door and step in all soaked. I place my shoes by the door and go upstairs to my room. I take a quick shower and change my clothes.

"Jai are you in there?"

"Yeah. Come in." I say.

Luke steps in and looks a bit nervous. We always come to each other for advice or just to listen to one another.

"What's up?" I say wanting to get to the point.

He explained the events earlier about him stopping a guy and somewhat saving a girl. But he was worried and uncertain that he hadn't done enough.

"Luke listen to me, you did the best you could. Anyways if it weren't for you, something worse could've happened to her." I reassure him.

"I guess..."

"Now cheer up and let's go get me my left overs" I say cheerfully.

"I kind of forgot them at the restaurant.." He says scratching the back of his neck.

"That's fine. But you have to make it up by cooking something." I say laughing.

"No way!" He shouts.

"How about a game of Fifa to settle this?"

I suck at updating but I'm trying to make the chapters longer so bare with me.
