Breaking Bad Luck

Brothers are the worst

Jays POV:
"Eva stop spinning you're going to get dizzy!"

"Woohoo!" She screamed as we both ran around flailing our arms in the air. She grabbed both of my hands and we started spinning I'd twirl and dip her occasionally which made us laugh, she hopped into shallow puddles making small splashes, soon enough we exhausted all our energy and laid on the wet grass breathless with drops of water hitting our faces. We were alarmed when we saw a stream of light coming from inside -it must be the security guard- we grabbed our bag packs and ran for our lives. Lucky for us we found an empty bus station, we were both panting like crazy when we sat down.

"That... was... insane," she said in between pants.
"Here," I said giving her a small towel. I turned to look down the street to see if a bus was coming, when I turned back to Eva I saw a totally different person. She removed her hoodie and wrung out all the water from it, this was the first time I'd ever seen her without her hoodie. I never knew she had perfect light brown skin with pitch black eyes, perfectly arched eye brows, pink lips,a cute button nose and her black, curly and unruly hair was all over the place. I couldn't help but stare.

"Jay is anything wrong?" She asked crinkling her nose.

"What, no nothings wrong. "

"Then why were you staring at me?"

"Oh it's just...... this is the first time I've seen you without your hoodie, you're very pretty," I couldn't help but notice the slight blush on her face which made me smile.

"I've been meaning to ask, why do you always cover your face?" I inquired.

"I hate attention," she simply stated "I don't want to stand out, I want to get lost in the crowd were no one can see or hurt me," she answered staring into the empty street.

"You should stop wearing hoodies, you look happy and......... unique," and this time she smiled and I felt the tips of my ears heat up.

What is happening?

"Umm oh good the rain has stopped, umm....I'll uh see you tomorrow," Why am I so flustered? We said our goodbyes and parted ways.

__________
At home.
I pulled out a key and giggled the lock until the door opened. "Mum are you home?" I yelled but my answer was the silence.
My mum works at a hospital in the emergency section, she's barely at home and when I get to see her she either getting ready for work or sleeping cause she's exhausted. When my dad died she was a wreck, it affected the whole family but we knew we had to be strong for her. It's not easy loosing someone you love, to her it felt like her other half was gone.

I dumped my things on the floor in my room removing my wet clothes and replacing them with sweat pants and a plain shirt,I allowed the warmth of my room embrace me while preparing for the night. I spotted my fortune on the floor, I'm surprised it didn't get wet in the rain, I picked it up and jumped on my bed.

"You will find someone who knows all your flaws, weaknesses and still think you're completely amazing," it kept ringing in my head as I read it. What does this mean?

"Why are you so happy?" A voice said from the door.

"Get out of my room Stephen," ladies and gentlemen meet Stephen Collins, he's every girls dream , a smart ass, a total chick magnet, he goes to the most prestigious college in the country, the most annoying human ever walk the face of the earth and my older brother. My brother and I share the some features,like our chisled jaw line, brown hair, our chocolate brown eyes, we're almost alike except he looks like my mum and I'm the spitting image of my dad.

"I'm not leaving until I find out what's making you so happy," he said flopping on my bed getting comfy. I heaved an irritated sigh and sat up to look at him.
