Chapter 15

3:45 am

"Maddie" I felt someone shake me. I was still on the couch, still in Luke's jacket...

"What do you want?" I mumbled still half asleep.

"Maddie, it's Beau. It's past 3:00 am." He whispered

"Oh shit," I rubbed my eyes "I guess I better go to bed." I started to drift off to sleep again.

"Okay" he chuckled, I felt him lift me up and carry me to my room. He laid me down on my bed.

"Beau," I whispered as I started to cry "don't leave me." I covered my face with the jacket sleeves and started to bawl.

"Don't cry," Beau laid down next to me "please don't cry..." he wrapped his arms around me.

"Do you know where Luke went?" I managed to say through little coughs.

"No," he said "I haven't seen him since..." He began to trail off.

"Since.. the party.." I finished.

"Yeah.." The room went silent. I scooted closer to him.

"I'm so cold" I felt his body tense up as I drifted off. I wonder what was wrong with him.. He's my best friend, and the brother I never had. I miss Luke. I wish it was him holding me instead if Beau. I'll talk to him tomorrow, hopefully.. I fell asleep, in the wrong arms.

The next morning, I woke up still in Beau's arms. I barely remembered anything from last night, especially the part that Beau was next to me in bed. Figuring it was Luke, I turned around to kiss him. "Mm I didn't know you where that good of a kisser." A smile spread across my lips, still not noticing who it was. I kissed him again this time with a little more passion. I pulled away and noticed it wasn't Luke.. "Wha-what?" my eyes widened "Beau! What are you doing here?" I quickly jumped out of bed, realizing what had just happened, what I had just done.

"You- you asked me to stay with you last night, and you were crying, and I-I-I didn't know what to do..I'm sorry" he babbled

"It's not your fault. It's mine." I sat back down on the bed, and Beau sat next to me. "I don't know what to do" I sighed as I laid my head on Beau's shoulder.

"I wish I could help." he said "but, I don't really know what to do. Besides talking to Luke; who knows where he is though.. He might be home now."

"We could go check" I shrugged. He helped me up and we headed down the stairs.

"Nice of you to join us!" Megan said. I caught a glance at Laura who was glaring at me. She obviously thought something was up, even though nothing was. But she didn't know... I'll explain it to her later. "What was going on up there?" she questioned

"We were just talking" I replied, noticing Luke in the corner of the room by himself. He kept taking small glances at me. It was actually kind of awkward.. I sat down on the couch next to Megan. Luke got up and went to the kitchen. There was a long silence until I decided to go get something to eat too. I got up and headed that way, running into Luke in the way. "Hey" I said, trying to start a conversation.

"Hey" he replied

"We need to talk" I motioned to the door. He quickly looked to the door.

"Okay" he mumbled, following me out the sliding glass door. "I see you're wearing my jacket" he kicked at the sand as we walked.

"Yeah.." I started "listen, I'm really sorry about the party." he didn't say anything, at all. He just looked down. "He kissed me first you know, I tried to pull away, but he forced himself onto me."

"It's ok," he finally said "I kind of overreacted."

"No, you didn't. I would've done the same thing." I stopped to look at him.

"Oh well," he looked me in the eyes "I missed you"

"I missed you too" we both leaned in and kissed each other. God I missed this. I missed us. "I have something else to tell you.." I began "I sort of, maybe, accidentally, kissed Beau. But, I thought it was you! I swear."

"What?" All he could do was look at me.

"I swear, I thought it was you. I'm sorry.." I pleaded "please forgive me" he didn't say anything. "Luke, say something"

"I don't know what to say" he looked as if he was about to cry.

"Please, don't cry" I wrapped my arms around him. At first he was startled, but then he accepted it. His body relaxed and he hugged me back.

"I love you" he whispered. I felt so relieved to hear this.

"I love you too" I smiled as we kissed. I now have my Luke back. He's the best boyfriend ever. I don't understand why he was so understanding, I mean I kissed both his brothers over a 6 hour period. I didn't get it, but I didn't bother to question it.
