A Janoskians Summer (Luke Brooks Fan Fiction)

Chapter 26: The Truth

*Beau POV:*

I couldn't hold it in anymore. My brother needed to know how I felt, weather he liked it or not.

*Luke POV*

I stood up immediately from the couch, infuriated at my brother's comment. My fists clenched tight and my whole body tightened with anger. I stomped over and firmly planted my feet right at the tip of Beau's toes, making sure I kept my ground. He'd said a lot of shitty things this week, but this was taking it too far.

"What?" I huffed out, trying to keep my cool.

"You heard me," he bluntly remarked. He glanced toward the ground then right back up to me, looking me right in the eyes, "I said You don't deserve her."

I couldn't believe the hurtful words that were coming out of my brother's mouth. How could he say something like that? We were perfect for each other.... Right? I knew I deserved her... or at least I thought I did...

As I continued to think, all fury built up inside of me and I couldn't take it anymore. I took a lunge and shoved my brother back by his chest. He stumbled backward, catching his balance before he could fall over completely.

"Don't say that to me," I warned, "That's not true."

I watched as Beau's eyes filled with anger, just as mine did moments ago. His jaw clenched and he began to take deep breaths. I kept a hard stare, right into his eyes as he balled his fists tightly.

"It is true. And you know it." He growled, taking slow, heavy steps back in my direction.

I shook my head fiercely, running my fingers through my hair and pulling my lip ring in between my teeth to control my temper, "No. No. I deserve her," I rushed out, "And she more than deserves me." I was sure that what my brother said was a lie. There was no way Cara and I weren't right for each other. The connection we had was unbelievable.

"Yeah, right." Beau chuckled, continuing to get closer to me, "You know you don't deserve her, Luke. She's too good for you and you know it." He got even closer, now only a foot away from where I was standing.

I filled my lungs with air, once again trying to control myself. I was hanging over the edge. So close to doing something I knew I would regret later on. I whispered through clenched teeth, "Then who does deserve her, Beau? Tell me. I would love to hear your thoughts."

His eyes grew wide and he growled fiercely, "I don't know...." Taking a long pause, he gave me a stone cold stare, "Maybe me."

I couldn't control myself any longer. I stepped forward with a clenched fist, closed my eyes and swung. My fist stung as it made contact with my brother's cheek. I opened my eyes to watch Beau fall to the floor from the impact. I brought my fist down to my side, staring down at Beau to see his what his next move would be.

I felt no regret, no shame for what I had just done. He told me I wasn't good enough for my girlfriend, and then went on to tell me that he deserves her more. He deserved a punch across the face. Hell, he deserved several punches across the face.

I watched intensely as he laid on the floor, carefully rubbing his face. After a minute, he stood up and approached me once more, his face now red from my punch.

He got really into my face and poked my chest hard with one finger, "I swear to god, you fuck. I know you're my brother, but If you hurt her, I'll end you. And I won't hold back." He hissed out.

Who does he think he is? He is my brother. He shouldn't be telling me he has a thing for my girlfriend, let alone threaten me.

I squinted my eyes, challenging his cold stare. I half-whispered, close to his face "I can't believe you think I would hurt her. What are you gonna do, Beau? Steal her from me?"
