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

Chapter Twenty Three - Guess Who's Back?!

"What am I going to do Luke? I... I'm scared. This is the first time I've seen Beau cry like that before, and I... I don't know what I'm going to do without him. I don't want to loose him. I need him."

"No no no, don't talk like that Bels, what you and Beau have is strong, it's love. And when two people love eachother, they never ever loose eachother. Ever." Luke hugged me and continued, "I can... Guarantee that you will be back to normal in no time. Just do something for me, one thing.."

"What is it, Luke?" I whispered.

"Stay strong, not for Beau, not for Becca, but for me." He smiled at me.

This is what was wrong, me and Luke had something and none of us could deny it. But as soon as something went wrong in our relationships because of it, it was the end of the world.

"I will Luke, not only for you, but for myself. I need to, or else I will just break, and I can't let that happen."

The day before Christmas

"... And I know I'm not the person you want to talk to at the moment, but that doesn't mean you can ignore my calls and text messages. Please just... Call me back when you get this." That was about the seventh message I'd left Beau that day. There was nothing I wanted more, than to spend Christmas with my boyfriend. Well, I say boyfriend but at that moment in time, I had no idea what was going on with the two of us.

That minute, just as I put the phone down, Daniel creeped around the door of my room.

"Hey Bella. Do you wanna talk?" He said to me, hoping for a smile to crack on my face.

"Honestly Daniel, I'm not really ready to talk yet. Thank you for continuously trying, I appreciate it, you're an amazing friend." He was about to leave, a frown on his face, "But I could really do with a friend right now." A smile crept back on his face.

"You know that I'm just looking out for you Isabella, because even though you and Luke were kind of in the wrong, I understand that this must be really hard for you."

"I know that you're trying to help Dan, and like I said I really appreciate it, but you will never understand the pain I'm going through right now." His head dropped to his lap, knowing I was right. "That doesn't mean you can't try to help, don't get me wrong. But you being here talking to me, isn't going to get me and Beau back together, going talking to him will."

"Do you want me to go now Bella? I really want to help."

"Yeah sure, whenever you have time." I smiled at him and he got up, stroking my cheek.

"I'll do whatever I can to get you guys back together. I want you to have the perfect Christmas. I'll try my hardest Isabella." He then left. Once again I was on my own, so I decided to get a friend round. Jenn's Mom and Dad thought I was time I got myself my own place, not in a rude way, so I needed to go apartment shopping.

----------------------------------

The door bell rang and I sprinted past the flowers in the hallway and right down the stairs. I reached the door and swung it open with all my strength.

"HARRY!" I jumped on him, hugging him tightly, "It feels like forever!"

"Yeah I know! How've you been?" He shouted down my ear as he pulled away from me.

"I've been better, but let's not talk about it please?" I smiled at him, still overjoyed that he is on my doorstep.

"Later?"

"Of course, I'll tell you everything" he grinned at me with his beautifully large mouth, "come in, please."

Harry left town to Sydney for a few weeks to see Lauren, so it made my situation with Beau harder than it needed to be. After about an hour of talking and gossip, Harry came out with something that broke my heart to hear.

"Lauren cheated on me." A tear drop rolled down his left cheek, "I know it's probably my own fault for getting involved with her, I knew her reputation and what she was like, but I really liked her."

"No Harry, you're definitely not to blame for this! I can't imagine what you're going through right now, but I really want to help you forget about it." A smile grew on his face.

"Thank you. You're honestly one of the nicest girls I've ever met, I can't believe I blew it with you."

"Thanks. Now where can I find this bitch, she needs a beating!" I said jokingly, pushing past Harry causing him to chuckle. That's all I wanted, a little chuckle from his mouth. He pulled me back facing him.

"She's back in England, so there's not much chance in that, but good try." He said laughing slightly.

"England? Why the hell is she in En-" I froze, "No way! Conor flipping Maynard.. What's gotten into that whore? Can she not stay away from him?! How did you find out?"

"Well.. They were pictured together a couple of times when she said she was out with friends.. And then as soon as I questioned her about it all, she confessed."

"Confessed what?"

"That she'd been sleeping with him multiple times behind my back. She fled Sydney back to England last night so she could be with him."

"Oh Harry, I'm so sorry.. But don't worry, now that you're back with all of us, everything's going to be so much better!" I seriously wanted to slag that bitch off to high heavens, but I knew that wouldn't have made anything any better for Harry's sake. "So guess where we need to go now?"

"I don't know, where?"

"Apartment shopping, Jenn's Mom and Dad have pretty much said I need to start paying rent or I'm going to have to find a place of my own."

"Okay, can't wait. Is it alright if I take a quick shower, I need to freshen myself up?" He asked.

"Sure thing. Here, I'll show you where it is, how to work it, give you a couple of towels and you can get on with it. But don't be too long, we need to be setting off before 3."

"Of course, the sooner I get in, the sooner I'll be out."

I trotted up the stairs and he followed shortly. When we reached the bathroom, he stripped his top and jeans off and was left wearing only his boxers and socks, revealing his toned back.

"Harry! What's wrong with you?!" I shouted.

"What?! I'm not naked!"

"Well, you may as well be, cover yourself up until I'm gone!" I threw a towel towards his crotch area.

He threw the towel onto the floor, "And what if I don't?"

"Harry!" We both broke into laughter.

There was then a knock on the bathroom door.

"Bella? Are you in here?" It was Beau. Holy shit.

As he opened the door slowly, Harry tried getting some clothes on but it was too late and he was too slow.

"Oh I'm sorry, am I interrupting?.."
