Those Three Words - (Beau Brooks / Luke Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty Two - Confession

So I raised my voice, "Beau, he was just looking out for me! Now please tell me what was going on that day?!"

"Isabella, the reason I was hanging out with Becca that day was... Was to spend time with her! Okay, Luke really likes her, and I thought it would be ideal if me and her spent some time together. Is that okay with you?"

"I don't know, it's not fully clear to me yet. Why did you not tell us?" I said, quietly with shame.

"Why did I not tell you? Because I knew you'd react like this!"

"Beau, I wouldn't have reacted like this if you would of told me the truth, and I'm sure Luke is feeling the same." Then again, what me and Luke did was worse, so how could I be so disgusting, sitting there, accusing Beau.

"I know you care a lot about Luke, and you don't want him to get hurt, so trust me, that's the last thing I'm going to do to him. And if you ever have a thought like that again, I'll think you don't trust me, and what's a relationship without trust?"

"I'm sorry Beau, I shouldn't have even thought that." I started to cry.

"Bels, why are you crying baby?" He put his arms around me for comfort.

"Because, your such an amazing boyfriend and you look after me and make me feel loved and you're always there when I need you, and what about me? I'm just a shitty girlfriend. Don't get me wrong, I love you with all my heart, but I honestly don't deserve you. And I..." My crying voice kicked in, making it hard for me to speak.

"Please tell me what's really wrong Bella?" Beau stared deep in my eyes without looking away. "Please." He repeated.

"I.. I.. I can't. I love you too much to hurt you."

"Hurt me? What do you mean Isabella? You're seriously worrying me now." A few more tears left my eyes.

"I don't think I can," I said looking down, "I think it would be better if Luke told you.." I said quietly.

"Luke? Why Luke? Bella, please tell me, I could never wait for Luke to get here."

"Well we have to Beau! I can't do it!" I shouted

We called Luke to come home from Becca's and I asked him to bring her aswell.

"Hey Bella!" Becca came in, kissing both of my cheeks and hugging me tightly. Since Luke and Becca got closer, me and Becca got closer. She was really nice to me and hilarious and even though we got off to a bad start, none of it mattered.

"Hey Bec, hi Lukey." I smiled at him, but he just looked away. What's happened? "Er, do you guys wanna take a seat?" I said, referring to Beau and Becca.

"Yea sure. Guys what's this all about?" Becca asked with complete confusion.

Luke started, "Me and Isabella have something we need to tell you. It doesn't involve the two of you, and I wish that you could just hear this without lashing out. Just please try to understand. It's been on my mind a lot lately, I've been wondering of the right way to-"

"We kissed." There was a silence among the four of us. "Me and Luke kissed." The words just came out, I was the one who wanted Luke to say it. I looked over to him, he was frozen. Blank.

Beau and Becca stayed quiet for a couple of minutes. Tears falling down both of their faces. But Beau's face stood out most.

A couple of words finally left Beau's mouth, "Kissed Luke?" He heavily breathed out and questioned again. "Kissed?"

"Wow, that's... Low. Really, really low Isabella."

"I'm sorry, I really am but you don't unders-"

"How long did it go on for?" Beau interrupted me.

"What? Why do you want to-"

Once again he interrupted me, "How long Bella?!"

"Well, at first it was about ten seconds.."

"At first? Luke you kissed her more than once!?" Becca shouted in his face, more tears building up.

"It's not like that, Becca!" Luke shouted, trying to defend the two of us, but let's face it, they weren't interested.

"Well how was it then, Luke? Did you enjoy it? Did you enjoy kissing your brothers girlfriend? I bet it was amazing, I bet there were butterflies between the two of you." Becca said with so much spite. Too much spite for me and Luke to handle, so we were silent.

Beau then spoke up again, "I bet it was Luke who encouraged it. Who stopped the first kiss, Isabella?"

"Well, it was me, but that's not the point. It's both me and Luke in the wrong here, he can't get all the blame, Beau."

"No Bella, let me finish." He was quiet again, for only a few seconds. "Who started the second kiss?"

Me and Luke looked at each other once again. He sighed. "It was me."

"But I didn't stop it, neither of us did. It was Jai who stopped it, he walked in the room." I said, with shame hanging over me.

"Honestly? And how long do you guys think it would have gone on for if Jai hadn't have stopped it? Huh? How long? Could it have led to anything more?"

"No, Becca! Okay? Neither of us stopped the kiss, but that doesn't mean we want anything more. We are both deeply in love at the moment. We just really need you guys to understand that."

Beau stood from his chair, "I need time. I don't need to forgive you for being a slut, I just need time to think."

He then left and Becca shortly followed him after saying, "Me too, this is too much to take in at the moment."
