Chapter 2
BEAU

Sitting at the top of Glenroy cliffs was honestly scary. I was feeling guilty for writing the letter to Zoey and saying or doing nothing else. I should have explained to her all the reasons for all of this face to face. But she wouldn't understand. I don't think anybody would.
I could feel the strong wind go through my long brown hair. The past three months had seemed like a complete blur to me. Ever since the meal with all the Janoskians, Sam pepper and Mazzi Maz;

~ Flashback~
Walking into KFC alone was something I had done so many times, but tonight felt different. My eyes looked all around the fast-food restaurant which I had eaten in several times. I walked over to the table with all the Janoskians, Sam pepper, Maz and Zoey.
My eyes met her beautiful face. She was wearing no makeup with an oversized jumper and jeans. Her hair was tied up in a bun. Even though she had no make up on, She looked like an angel to me.
I walked over to the table to see my usual seat beside Zoey was taken by Jai. Who was making the table laugh after making a joke on something probably irrelevant. The only seat that was left was on the end of the table slightly away from everybody else. I sat down on that seat. I took out my phone and pretended to be doing something useful. But that meal was like I didn't exist, it was like the others didn't even care I was there. All through the meal I could feel myself getting more jealous of Jai. Everyone knew that Jai was a flirt, but tonight he was at the maximum. Putting his arm around her and making jokes about her appearance. Zoey seemed to be liking every second of the attention. I was pretty sure I could see Jai holding one of her hands underneath the table. That wasn't the only thing that hurt me though. Sitting beside Jai was Daniel. My bestfriend. Who completely ignored me. Daniel kept on bursting into laughter with Jai for no reason. Something me and always Daniel did. And they blamed their laugher on 'inside jokes'. Daniel didn't look at me. It was like he just wanted to blank me. I could feel myself going completely numb. Nobody on the table was interacting with me or making any effort to start a conversation. I tried to make conversation with Luke and James but it was like they didn't even want me to be there. I decided to go to the bathroom and splash some cold water on my face. I needed a reality check, I didn't know what I was feeling. One minute it was anger. The next minute I was sad and upset. This meal had been such a waste of time. So I attempted to leave the fast food restaurant quietly and ninja like so the others wouldn't see me. Suddenly Jai burst in, looking happy.
"Hey Beau, what's up?" He pulled me in for a man-hug. I was trying to not punch him in the face. I put a fake smile on my face and continued.
"Nothing really, how about you?"
Jai put this smirk on his face,
"I'm feeling kinda...flirty" he said looking me in the eye.
"Why?" I asked. I now had a fear he was going to say something I didn't really want to hear at this moment in time.
" Zoey's looking super good tonight, I feel like asking her out" he smirked.
My heart just snapped into tiny isty bitsy pieces, about one million, probably more. I was speechless, I didn't know what to say.
"Earth calling Beau" He moved his hands in my face snapping me out of my daze.
"She will say no, you know that" I gritted my teeth.
"I don't know..well I think it's worth a shot..you gotta risk it to get the biscuit" he smirked again.
So now he's comparing the girl of my dreams to a biscuit. Hmm...I could kill him right now. It would be a slow and painful death. Most probably after he died I would throw him in a lake and tell mum that he fell off a cliff when we were hiking?
I saw him standing there quite awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.
"So I'll see you back at the table then?" He asked
He then walked off, he didn't even look back once. It suddenly occurred to me. I was jealous. Jealous of my own brother. I didn't return to the table though. I walked out of the restaurant facing the actions that this dark, rainy night could bring. I returned back to my flat. Alone.
