The Brooks Boys

Chapter Twelve

My jaw drops slightly at the sound of his words. I can't believe that Beau feels the same way that I do. After all my thinking and contemplating about how he felt my questions had been answered, and now I can't seem to hide the smirk on my face.

Luke looks at me. His eyes slowly scanning my face waiting for a response from me.

"I. I, can't believe he said that." Luke lets out a sigh of relief and smiles.

"Thats not even half of it." He remarks raising his eyebrows in delight.

He leads me to a table in the small library before grabbing a few books and setting them at the table.

"We have to look like we're doing some work, or we'll be kicked out." He whispers with a grin and shakes his head towards the Librarian at the front desk. I nod and sit down on the opposite side of the table, in front of the open book.

"So what else did he say?" I press, eagerly.

"Well after he told me about the kiss, he just wouldn't stop smiling. Beau hasn't had a girlfriend in a while and he told me that he thinks you might be the one." The excitement is clear in his words, and my wide grin is still spread across my face.

"I've never seen him like this before, so happy and full of life. But..."

"What? But what?" The keenness in my voice makes me sound like a child being told a bed time story.

"Nothing you don't need to know." His excitement drains as he looks at the table and begins to twiddle his thumbs.

I'm a little tired of being miss guided and played around with today. I feel like theres something that I should know, it's clear to everyone except me. I am constantly being left out of this circle of secrets and I don't like it one bit.

"Luke, stop with the secrets." I say sternly enough to catch all of his attention.

"Calm down, you're missing the big picture here. You like Beau and theres no doubt Beau likes you. So when this is over you can date and be happy and live happily ever after!" He says in a silly voice. I try my best not to smile. I need to show him that keeping things from me is wrong and that I do need to know.

"No Luke you're keeping things from me and I don't like it. If you wont tell me I'll have to go and ask Beau myself!" I stand up and glare at Luke.

"No, Eleanor!" He stands and grabs my wrist before continuing. "Okay I'll tell you. But don't blame me if it's not what you want to hear."

***Yesterday night at the boy's house***

Luke's P.O.V.

"You don't understand bro, I haven't felt this way in a long time. Ever since she stepped into the room I haven't stopped thinking about her. It's not just her body or figure, it's her personality, her life, the way she craves danger, the way her lips move when she says my name. It's driving me crazy!" Beau yelled excitedly whilst pacing through my room.

"Calm down, you're being ridiculous. You barley know the girl!" I laugh, I've never seen him like this before. So happy and driven. And it's all down to the new girl.

"No! You know what's ridiculous? That scum bag down there, pretending to date her. I hope he doesn't try anything, you know how he can be with girls. Especially ones as kind as her."

"Well go tell him to stay away from her. You don't want Ellie to get hurt now do you?" I say, dropping Jai in it, just a little bit.

"Don't you dare. You should have seen her face when I called her that. It lit up like a thousand lights! I just love the fact that I have that effect on her."

"Yeah, yeah. Love is in the air and all that shit, now go and find Jai."

He grumpily stood up and made his way downstairs. Me, like the good brother I am decided to follow him. I know how annoying and patronising Jai can be to Beau so I think I should go down and support him before he loses it.

When we get downstairs Jai is sitting at the kitchen counter tossing his phone about.

"Ay, about you and Eleanor, if you dare try to hurt or take advantage of her I swear to God I will break every bone in your..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm your tits lover boy." Jai says, with that annoying look on his face. "Me? Take advantage of her? I can assure you it never crossed my mind dear brother." Jai said mimicking her soft British accent.

"It's not a joke Jai, I know how you are with girls. And if I hear that you've done anything to hurt her, consider yourself a walking dead man!" I could see the anger burning through Beau's face, his breathing had gradually changed from calm to rapid.

"Well instead of threatening me why don't you consult your wing man Luke over here. After all, he is the one that set me up with the chick." Beau turns to me with fury in his eyes and his fists balled at his sides.

"No, no, no. Just no. Don't try to blame me. When Beau and Eleanor were in the bathroom you practically forced me and April to swear that we'd make you go out with her!" I fired back at Jai. There's no way that I am getting blamed for this hot mess.

"Why did you agree if you cared so much about your dear brother?" He said with a cunning smile.

"Because at the time I didn't know how much he liked her." I turned to face Beau, "Beau, I swear if I knew that you wanted her so much I wouldn't have gone through with it."

Beau opens his mouth to speak, but Jai interrupts:

"But you did. Your not stupid Luke, even I saw the twinkle in his eyes when she walked in. But you couldn't help yourself could you? You just wanted to fuck shit up like you always do! Lets all just face the fact that this is all Luke's fault."

Before I could try to defend myself Beau was on top of me. Throwing blows at my guts. I screamed his name and tried to pull him off but he wouldn't stop, his anger had taken over him.
