Luke POV

Days went by and I feel like something always watch us. I feel like were being hunted down. Of course I would feel that. Everyone is the hunters, and we're the prey. 

After the death of Racingcatz, everyone went nuts. I mean, how can someone who holds all the power of the city die?

Everyone of the city couldn't believe it. Not even the cops. But the body was found so there was no doubt it was fake. People were wonder who killed him, his goons who weren't there at the scene of the crime assumed it was me. And I let them think that, no one needs to know about Jon.

We were in hiding. But one day I thought it would be for the best if we ran away from that part of the city. That's when we to the place we live now. There I was finally able to get enough money to allow us to go to school.

There was when we met the guys. When Evan suggest us to be a "gang" I was hesitant to join. But this time Jonathan already knew about it, and he joined in. So I did the same. It was very surprising to allow people to come so close to us.

But I trust my new friends to help me protect Jonathan. I would never tell them what he really was. Neither would Jon tell. But after years of the incident, nothing happened like that again. 

But once Eric came around, Jon began to have those nightmares again. He would come home stressed or angry, and his eyes would flash the same dark blue like before. It's been hard to calm him down......

--Flash Back Has No Ended!--

"Eric has been giving me the vibe of something I haven't felt in a long time. I feel like he has a connection to Cody." I summed up. Evan was so lost with words, he was in shock. "Uhh.. I'll let things settle in.."

"W-wait no! I was just next expecting this..." I just slowly nodded my head. "Yeah." I just simply said. "So.. Jonathan is some supernatural thing?" He questioned. "What! No!" I shook my head. "N-no I didn't mean it like that! I..." He tried to calm my rising anger.

"I just feel bad I didn't realize how you guess actually feel.." I was surprised at his sudden change of tone. "I wish I had been there to help you get through this... And I feel so bad, I would always push Jonathan's feelings aside, never really knowing why he felt that way.." I tilted my head in confusion.

"Wha-?" He stopped me with his hand. "You didn't know this but before, me and Jonathan weren't as close... When you first got here, I thought he was annoying, and I only let him in the gang because he was the key to get you to join.." I was not expecting this.

"I thought he was weak, and useless, but then he started to warm up to me.. With the help of the guys. We only really became friends a year ago.." I never noticed this. Jonathan must have kept this from me. 

"Now.. I feel something more, he is no longer a friends to me.. I want to ruin that friendship, I want to be more than friends with him.." He trailed off. "Now are you regretting it? Do you think he's a monster now? Are you like everyone else-" 

"No! He's not a monster! He's too kind and sweet to be one." I nodded in agreement. "Now I just regret ever doing that.." He looked down at the ground. "Maybe...." I started. "Maybe, you can make it up to him by taking him out to the mall to shop."

He instantly perked up. "Really?" For being the leader of the most notorious gang on the streets, he sure has his childish moments. I cleared my throat. "I mean yeah, it'll help you get to know him better. Knowing what he's capable of, what will you do? Judge him by his personality, or judge him from his past."

"What are you gonna do Evan?"

He blinked a couple of time before answering. "I'm gonna see him for who he really is on the inside! Thank you Luke for entrusting me with this information. You won't regret it." I nodded my head and gave him a friendly smile. He smiled back and ran off.

I do trust him. I trust him with Jonathan's life. And that's saying something.

"Hey! What's your name?" - E

"None of your business." - L

"His name is Luke. How are you! My name is Jonathan!" - J

"Evan." - E

---

"Hey! I'm starting up a gang! Wanna join Luke?" - E

"Uhh.. N-" - L

"I'll join!" - J

"Ehhh.. ok I guess." - E

"If he's joining, so am I." - L

"Great!" - E

---

"Why is your brother so.. happy all the time?" - E

"That's not nice!" - C

"It's ok Craig. And honestly... I don't know how he can be so happy..." - L

"It's kind of annoying.." - E

"What was that?" - L

"Nothing, nothing!" - E

---

"Tyler, don't tell Luke or Jonathan but..." - E

"Yeah?" - T

"I.. I think I want Jonathan out of the gang." - E

"Dude! Luke would leave too if you do that!" - T

"Yeah.. I know.." - E

"Why do you want him out anyways?" - E

"I, I don't know. I feel a weird aura around him. And he's too perky and nice to be in a gang. He shouldn't deal with this." - E

"And also you think he's annoying." - T

"Yeah, that too." - E

---

"J-Jon.." - E

"Yes?" - J

"You're o- why did you join the gang?" - E

"Hmm? Oh well... I guess it's because you guys were in it. And I knew you guys wanted to be friends with Luke! So I knew Luke would join if I did.. So this is a great way for Luke to make friends! He's always to himself, only really caring about me.. Of course I like that! Don't get me wrong.. But.. He needs to not believe that I'm always going to be here, that he should expand his horizon. Who knows what the future has in store. I just want Luke to be happy is all. And him finding new friends, and other people to care about and hold close, that's why I wanted to join the gang." - J

"O-oh." - E

~~~

That's when Evan changed his mind about Jonathan. When he actually understood Jonathan more, he saw that there was more to Jonathan than what he actually saw on the outside. That's when they started to get close. When a spark started to ignite.

Evan new goal was to learn more about Jonathan. And he thought he found everything there was. But little does he know, that there is always more to explore with this one of a kind being.

Blue eyes. Brown eyes. Black eyes.

Dark blue eyes.

Jealousy. Vengeance. Love. Hate. Protection. Over-protection. Care. Sacrifice. Rage. Isolation.

Love is like a good book. It's page turning.

Vengeance is like biting into an apple. Never know if it's going to turn rotten.

------------------------------

Yep. I'm gonna leave you at that. Finally we are done with the long backstory of Jon and Luke.

Have a nice day!

Buh byeee!
