The Brooks Boys

Chapter Eighteen

"What is wrong with you?" He shouts louder.

"B-beau, I didn't-"

"Save it. All you do is lie to me. You said you'd call, you said you'd never forget me Ellie!" Beau screams slowly moving closer to me. I open my mouth to defend myself but his glare makes my throat turn dry.

"You kissed me, but I guess that meant nothing to you since you snuck into the library with my brother the next day."

Someone has given him all the wrong information and now I'm stuck here, unable to explain myself.

"No, It wasn't like that I swe-"

"Oh of course it wasn't, your hand just slipped up his shirt. Didn't it?" He says sarcastically, still coming closer and closer. "And I suppose your mouth just fell onto Jai's tongue."

"I know how it must sound and I wouldn't believe me if I wasn't me too but you have to listen to me." He puts his hand up to silence me.

"Baby I-" He shudders at my choice of words and his facial features grimace.

"Don't you dare call me that! You lost the right when you decided to fuck around with my brothers."

"Beau please..." I beg him but he just laughs at my desperation for him to hear me out.

"Please what? Listen to you? After you've finished messing around with my brothers, I'll be happy to." He smiles and stands still to examine my face.

"You don't get it do you? You kissed me, then went off with Luke, then shortly after, kissed his twin brother. Who also happens to be my little brother! That's fucked up Ellie." He raises his voice again.

"And the worst part of it is that I liked you. Well, I thought I did, but now I've realised that you're the same as all the other girls down there." He pauses and looks down in disappointment.

"I liked you too, until I saw what you did to Luke." I say covering my mouth instantly. This is not the time for me to come up with another case of sudden verbal diarrhea.

"Don't start with that bullshit! I had my reasons. I was trying to protect you. When all you wanted to do was get into Luke's pants!"

"Well I had my reasons for being in the library that day. I don't know what you or Jai saw, but the reality of it was me touching the bruises that you gave to Luke! I understand that it may have looked like more but it honestly wasn't."

I try to stay as calm as I can for my sake. I don't want to upset him anymore than I already have.

"Okay good one, I'll give you that. But please explain to me how you accidentally kissed my other brother."

He stands with his arms folded, waiting patiently for an answer.

"I wanted to get him back for the things that he said to me." I say truthfully only realising how stupid I sounded after the words had already left my mouth.

"Oh. I get it. So you kissed him to get back at him. What an evil plan. Maybe you should go downstairs and give him a good old blow, down below, that'll make him feel real bad!"

"You wouldn't understand." I sigh acknowledging my own defeat. I know he's not going to listen to me and I have no other way to explain this mess to him.

"No Ellie, you don't understand. I haven't stopped thinking about you. No matter how hard I try you're there." he looks down at his shoes and back up to me to lock his eyes onto mine.

"But I bet I never cross your mind, do I? I bet you don't dream about me or think up countless scenarios about me and how we'd be together. You obviously don't because you too damn busy with my brothers!"

I open my mouth to fire back a comment, but I really can't. There's not much that I can say to that if he's not going to listen to my side of the story. Beau's the one that doesn't understand. He always crosses my mind everyday and night. Creeping his way into my dreams. Since the day I met him, I've craved his touch, just for him to hold me and kiss me the way he did that day. I didn't mean for any of this to happen and I know my dessisions were selfish but I care for him. I really do, in a way that he'll never understand. If only he knew.

"Why did you come here Ellie?" Beau says now cornering me. I look around the room for places to run but I have no options. I'm trapped.

"Did you come to rub it in my face? Huh?" He shouts pushing me against the wall. "Of course you did, why wouldn't you? You came to see me crumble, like a sad little boy, crying because he didn't get what he wants. Well let me tell you something now, Ellie. I always get what I want."

I press my body further into the wall, hopping that I will somehow escape from the dark eyed psycho standing in front of me. His hands move from his sides and trickle down my waist before making their way up to my neck. He runs the pad of his thumb across my bottom lip and I wince under his touch.

"You like it, don't you? I can tell you do by the way your eyes flutter when I say your name." He whispers into my ear softly.

"Maybe, just maybe you came to get my attention. That halo and this dress..." He says in a shushed tone, gliding his fingers along the rim of my dress.

"It all makes you look so innocent. But in reality your a-"

There is a sudden knock at the door that manages to startle us both. He jumps back and looks right into my eyes as Esme and April enter the room.
