One word that never interested me, family. Well it did and sort of does but my family doesn’t particularly approve me. I am a trouble maker but that never made them stop loving me. But this time, I hardly did anything. All I did was getting suspended for 25 school days and they say I am psychotic and a pain in the arse. I was one of the popular kids at school because I was a person who couldn’t stay away from trouble. I can’t help it. I don’t find trouble, trouble finds me and no matter how hard I try, it is always waiting for me around the corner. It was cold, freezing cold and the time was 10pm. I was out on the streets with a suitcase and freezing my arse off. Thankfully my music teacher said I could keep my guitar cases at his place. He was cute but I would never to that to myself. I wanted shelter because the clouds were rolling in fast. It started to spit and I curled up in a ball and looked through my contacts. Lukey. I clicked on his ID. I hesitated to call him. He was my brother. He was 5 years older than me and never really supported the choices I made but when I did something worse than this and he would always be there to rescue me. But maybe I had pushed the boundaries. I didn’t call him and I closed my eyes and hoped the night would pass quickly and leave me unharmed.
It was colder than it was earlier in the night. It was only 12am. It felt later than that believe me. I was freezing and I couldn’t feel my feet. I tried to wiggle them and there was no use, I had lost the feeling in them and the hurt like fuck. I needed my brother. I needed him. I don’t what I would do if I hesitated any longer. I called him and he tiredly answered. I told him where I was but before I could hang up, my eyes shut again. Only this time, my head ached and my stomach was cramping.
Luke POV.
“Hey dickhead! You have a call waiting for you! A cock is calling you!” My phone rang. It was my sister. I picked up immediately.
“Lukey. Lukey, I need you bro.” She sounded like she had been crying for ages.
“El tell me where you are and I will be there.” She told me where she was and she didn’t respond when I started yelling into the mouthpiece causing everyone in the studio to wake up. I ran out the door, jumped in the car and speeded to her. I parked the car as roughly as I could and I ran. I dogged the trees, pot holes and any other distraction. When I saw her on a bench seat in front of an abandoned store I ran faster than my legs could run. I skidded to a halt and looked at her for a split second and brought her into my arms and carried her to the car with her bag over my shoulder. I put her in the back, giving her more space to stretch out. I ran my hand along her forehead and she was frozen cold. Shutting her door and jumping in the driver’s seat I put on the heater for her. I was boiling but it was making her warmer.
I pulled up at the studio and opened the front door and carrying her through the door and shutting it behind me. I placed her on my bed and took off her wet jumper and jeans. I put on a jumper I wore today and a pair of PJ pants that I wore the previous night. I felt weird doing it but she is my sister and I would do anything for her even though she is a trouble maker. I knew she was trying but even trying wasn’t enough sometimes. I hopped into bed with her. She was gradually getting warmer. I hoped that my body heat and the dry clothes I put on her would make her warm and satisfy her. Usually when my head would hit the pillow, I would fall asleep but I was worried about her. I suppose, I hadn’t talked to her in months. I felt bad, I was the only person out of our family who actually cared about her and I hadn’t even talked to her. I must be a total dick. I hugged her tight and this time I wouldn’t let her go.
~the morning~
I felt the bed shake and I was awake. El turned over to face me still asleep. Her nose touching mine, she instantly opened her eyes and shot up.
“Lukey!” She screamed hugging me, “I love you Luke. Thank you, for getting me.” She was crying and I hugged her.
“What did you do?” I asked. I needed to know and it would be better if I knew sooner before later.
