Chapter 5

"That's a nice watch " My dad comments as he sips his glass of scotch , I feel my cheeks got a light pink shade while I finish off dinner

"Thank you, it's from a friend"I say looking down at the silver Rolex, I glance up to see Lukha staring at me with a mischievous look and a smug smirk, I simply shake my head in hopes he understands that I don't want it to be a big issue.

"Which friend?"My mom questions while she chews on her food, her blonde hair was pinned back and her blue eyes wondered between her food and the watch

"Michael"

"What ever happened between you and Adrienne , I never see you guys together anymore"My mom questions and I pull a face

"Doesn't matter, but I got invited to go to one of my friends Lake house...it's about eight hours from here , it's suppose to be very fun"

"It's fine with me" My mom says as she turns to my dad for confirmation and he simply nods in agreement

"Okay great, I now have to tell Syd"I mumble more to myself than them, Lukha opens his mouth to say something, but for some holy reason he seems to go against his wishes of evil and actually keeps his mouth shut. It's a miracle. I excuse myself and walk to my room where I immediately send Sydney a message and read through the group chat.

Everything had changed so fast. Suddenly everyone knew my name, people who never spoke to me started talking to me. I was invited to the coolest parties, and I hung out with the coolest people.Everything was suddenly becoming so easy, all I had to do was plaster a smile on my face. I was becoming popular.

"Lucianna" My brother knocks on my door and I roll my eyes as I sit up against my head board and pull my delicate soft white sheets over me.

"Come in" My tone is flat as I give him a blank expression as I watch him enter. He seems somewhat concerned as he looks around.

"Nothing really changed I see" He says softly and I simply watch him as he walks around to the end of the bed where he runs his hands along the sheets. "Lucianna" he starts " Look, I know... after the incident , I hurt you" I feel myself becoming anxious and my cheeks going red due to my nerves and a sense of anger slowly starting to captivate me. " But I've changed Luc, please , I'm beginning you for another chance"

"It doesn't work like that Lukha" I raise my voice out of anger " It doesn't work like that way. Do you know how scared I was, because you, my brother, my other half, my best friend , deliberately put me in danger. You can't expect to waltz in , pretend nothings changes, make yourself comfortable in my friend group and expect me to be jolly. Lukha, you fucked up, you hurt me. I don't even know how you're not behind bars" I spit at him in anger. He bites his lip hard as he tugs at his hair in frustration and desperation

"No, Luci, you don't get it"

"I don't need to Luk, what you did was enough for me to realise you honestly don't give a shit about me or my life. You didn't care then, so why now?" I shake my head and I feel tears at the rim of my eyes at the memories of that night, goosebumps ran up my arms and I felt nauseous.

"Luci, I know, I fucked up... big time... and I know you'll never be able to forgive me, but please. Just be a sister to me" He pleads he's eyes were big and I could see the pain laced in them. As each word poured out his mouth I felt my heart crumble.I had always been sensitive when it came to Lukha's emotions. Maybe it was because I grew you so attached to him, even when he constantly pushed me away. Maybe it was the pain of having your other half hate you that caused me to shower him with affection when we grew up together, before the incident. But after everything, I became so cold towards him, even as painful as it is. And now the tabled had turned.

"Don't fuck it up"
