Broken Pieces (Jai Brooks)

Chapter 20

Luke and Jai hurriedly went out to buy the paint they needed for the masterpiece they had in mind. When they got back they got to work. They painted the car a really pretty shade of Barbie pink that they knew Beau would just love.

"What if instead of flowers, we draw cats all over it." Luke suggested. Jai smirked at his twin. It would be perfect. They quickly started to draw cats everywhere. Pretty soon,  they were ready for the final phase of their plan. Jai, got a small paint brush and dipped it in black paint. On the back of Beau's car he wrote, "I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world...".

"Done.....and its beautiful." Jai took a step back admiring their work.

"I totally agree." Luke chuckled. He hadn't only enjoyed the fact that he was getting revenge on Beau. He was also happy to be spending time with his twin. He didn't remember the last time that him and Jai had spent time like this together. They hadn't done something like this in awhile now.

"Now we wait..."

"What did you do to my car? You dogs!" Beau screamed. He had come home after a long walk to find his car with a total makeover. He immediately stormed up to Luke's room to find Luke and Jai smiling at him innocently.

"Serves you right." Luke mumbled.

"Are you serious?!" Beau was beyond angry. "Don't you think that's taking it a bit too far?"

"Nope?" Jai popped the 'p'. Beau glared at his youngest brother angrily.

"Why are you even involved Jai. I have been nothing but kind to you since we found you slicing your wrists open on a regular basis!"

"Beau!" Luke screamed while Jai ran out of the room. Beau deflated. He couldn't believe he had really said that.

"I didn't mean that." Beau whispered. Luke scoffed at him then ran after his twin. Jai had looked really upset when he had ran away.

"Jai!" Luke called, pounding on his twin's door. "Open up!"

"No, Luke! Go away!" Jai cried. Luke was about to pull his hair out in frustration. An idea suddenly dawned on him. He put his hand on the door knob and opened the door. Jai had forgotten to lock it.

"Jai!" Luke gasped at what he saw. Jai was sitting on his bed with a bleeding wrist. Jai had relapsed and he never noticed. "How long?"

"A few months." Jai answered. A few months! "It's not a big deal, Luke."

"Yes it is! You're hurting and I didn't notice." Luke cried. "This time I'm going to be here for you, got that?" Jai smiled the first real smile he'd had in a long time before breaking out into laughter.

"Yeah Luke. I understand perfectly. Thanks for not giving up on me."

He would be okay.

Jai sighed. The world didn't seem so pointless after all. As long as he had Luke by his side then he would be okay. It would be a long road to recovery, but this time he could do it. This time he couldn't give up on himself, since there was someone refusing to give up on him.

This Book is now over. I've really lost interest in it so sorry if it had a bad ending.
