Fatal Impressions (Book 2)

Chapter Six

Chapter Six

I stood up from my bed and walked over to Lucas, he changed his composure a little, not looking as pissed as he did when he first walked in but more irritated than anything else.

“Lucas is everything okay?”

“What’s the deal with you and my brother?” I looked back in shock.

“What are you talking about Lucas?”

“You guys walking to school, eating together at lunch and going for late night walks. What’s going on?!” Jealousy was flashing in and out of his eyes as he listed off the events of today. I sighed, not knowing how much I should tell him or if I should just claim ignorance. Izadora took this as her chance to put her two sense in “Tell him! It’s his brother he has a right to know what’s going on”

“But John told me those things in privacy” I counteracted.

“Well just don’t tell him every detail, look at him! He’s worried sick” I couldn’t help but agree with Izadora, it was his brother (by blood) If I can, I should put his mind at ease.

“Look, John and I made a little deal. I would open up to him if he would open up to me and we have, I think that’s why we hung out a lot more than we usual do today”

“Why would he make that deal with you though?” He sat down on my bed with his head in his hands, it seemed that this whole John thing was distressing him more than we all thought.

“I’m his brother! His twin. And yet he opens up to you? I don’t understand that” He said whilst shaking his head. “And you, have you told Jason of your little deal?” He looked at me waiting for my answer.

“What has Jason got to do with this?”

“He’s your mate Sarah, mates confide in each other. Trust me, he would be hurt that you’re talking to John and not him about all this”

“Hey, I tried I really did but Jason—He, he doesn’t understand. He thinks that’s if he says “I love you” enough times that it will make all my problems go away and you know what?! I thought that too but it doesn’t, the nightmares still come, I’m still scared when I’m alone in the dark and it makes me mad that I have something in me that could possibly help me be strong but I can’t connect with it. So I’m left feeling vulnerable, weak and like a massive problem that would be better for everyone if I just disappeared”

“Sarah nobody wants that” Lucas placed his hand on my shoulder trying to comfort me but it did nothing, if anything it made me more irritated.

“I just don’t know if I can do this” I looked at Lucas looking for answers that I knew he wouldn’t have. “In less than 6 months I’ve been thrown into a new supernatural world that has kidnapped me, tried to kill me and turn me into werewolf slash demi goddess. I know that it brought me to Jason and you guys which I love but it’s also terrifying and not only am I supposed to learn to somehow harness my wolf and powers but when the time comes look after an entire pack of werewolves. I just—I just don’t know if I can handle all of this”

“I don’t know what to say Sarah, I mean were all here for you, you just need to talk to us like you are now” Lucas said truthfully.

“What? And get the same response as you? “I don’t know what to say?” I know that you wouldn’t be able understand what I’m going through but I thought John would and obviously John thought the same thing too because he’s the one that came up with the idea, not me!” I shot off my bed and stormed off over to my balcony and begun to cry, everything I had been bottling up had just been unleashed on poor Lucas who was just concerned about his brother. I slid down the rails of the balcony and sat on the cold concrete floor, holding my knees tight to me chest. I felt an arm go around my shoulders and bring me close to their chest. I looked up at Lucas to see him trying to comfort me once again.
