The secret side of me

Chapter 10

Chapter 10~Layla's pov

The second I came to I ran out of my car tears already falling as sprinted to my front door,trying to get to my brother. I burst through the door to see my brother on the floor in a pool of his own blood. I ran to him and got on my knees pulling him up on my lap,I looked down and saw the blood was coming from a bullet whole in his chest. I put my hand on the wound putting pressure on it but it was no use he was still, he had no pulse.

He was dead.

I pulled is lifeless body close to mine and cried. Sobs racking my body repeatedly. He was gone. My only family. Gone. It felt like I sat there forever crying. When I finally did get up I looked at him to see his lifeless eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. I closed them and kissed his forehead. I wiped my tears and just sat there staring at my only reason for living Realization hit me like a brick to the face. I stood up furious and ran out of my house the only things on my mind are revenge and the picture of his face before he ran off.

I sprinted as fast as I could to where I assumed he would be. After running for what felt like forever I finally got here and ran straight inside the unfamiliar house scanning the room for his face. When I came up short I ran to the backyard to see people with red cups splashing in the pool and others around it having a good time. When the door slammed behind me I looked around And saw 8 familiar faces. Harry the other boys, Luke and last but not least the face I saw fleeing my house not long ago.

He looked at my with a smile on his face. Looking so happy to see me. Looking so innocent. Not knowing I saw what he did. I ran up to him and tackled him to the ground punching him in the jaw over and over again not caring if anyone from school saw me right now only caring about the guy under me. I grabbed his hair in my fist and hit his head against the concrete repeatedly screaming profanities at him.

I was finally pulled off of him by a pair of wet arms I recognized them to belong to Luke. I thrashed in his arms trying to break free and get back to the guy on the floor bloody.

"Layla calm down and tell me what's wrong?" Luke said lightly in my ear trying to calm me down. But there was no calming me down this time. I elbowed him in the gut and ran back over to my brothers murderer. I let my fist collide with his face non-stop until I was again restrained by Luke, this time assisted by some one.

One of his friends helped him up to a sitting position as he held his jaw in pain. His nose bloody and had cuts and bruises all over his face.

"Laya..." His soft and innocent voice spoke, the voice that had often brought me comfort and safety in my times of need all those years back but know just made me want to murder him.

"NO I DON'T WANT TO HERE YOUR BULL SHIT! IM NOT STUPID I SAW YOU DO IT!!" his face suddenly flushed of all color when he heard me. He knew what I meant.

"Layla what are you talking about!?" Luke yelled next to me as I struggled in his grasp

"I WATCHED HIM!! I WATCHED HIM AS HE BROKE IN TO MY HOUSE! I WATCHED HIM AS HE PULLED THE GUN ON MY BROTHER!!! THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT AND I WATCHED MY ONLY FRIEND SINCE THE FIRST GRADE PULL THE TRIGGER!!!! I WATCHED HIM AS HE RAN FROM THE SCENE!!! I WATCHED YOU MURDER MY BROTHER JOSH!!! I SAW IT ALL!!!!" I screamed at him at the top of my lungs not caring that everyone was now watching us. I could hear Luke gasp and his grip loosen but he still held me tight.

"YOU'VE BEEN PLANNING THIS HAVEN'T YOU!! THAT TALK AT THE ICE CREAM PARLOR WAS ABOUT THIS!!! WHAT ABOUT THAT FUCKING KISS IN THE PARKING LOT TODAY!!! IT WAS ALL JUST AN ACT!!! WAS EVERYTHING JUST AN ACT!!!" My face was red from screaming and there were tears running down my face again. Luke whispered something to the other person holding me who I now realized was Niall. Luke let go of me and I fell into Niall's arms in defeat. I let the tears fall freely once again. Niall held me in his arms as he whispered reassuring thing in my ear.

I watched Luke walk over to Josh grabbing his hair in his fist and whispering something in his ear and jerked his head back making it hit the concrete and knocking him unconscious and walking back over to us. He picked me up and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Come on we need to get out of here. I don't know if you could tell but everyone is watching." He whispered in my ear and I reached back and grabbed Niall's hand and me and him ran from the party to his car where he put me in the back seat and then came in after me. He held me once again As I cried. Luke didn't follow right after us, he stayed to do god knows what but it wasn't long until he was running up to the car. He got in the drivers seat and started the car. He sped off While pulling out his phone. He called someone who I assumed to be Nick and told him for everyone to meet him at the house.
