I Hate That I Love You (Beau Brooks fan fic)

Chapter 6 - Continued ...

Hey guys Im back.

5 months and no update, whoops :/

So Im continuing with chapter 5 that I didnt get to complete. I hope you havent lost interest in my story, but if you have, Im sorry :(

To get all you lovelies back on track, Hattie and Tayla are staying at the Brooks' house for the night, maybe possibly the weekend ;) and Tayla has come up with a nasty scheme to get Jai to have feelings for her and not for Hattie, sneaky. Hattie doesnt realise it though, yet...

I'll keep to this story line for the rest of this chapter until i have something else to write for the next chapter, you guys might need to help me out a little there :)

So here it is, Chapter 5 - Part 2

Enjoy

TAYLAS POV

Hattie is siting in between Jai and I on the couch but I can feel Jais eyes peering at me every so often flicking from me to the television. Clearly he thinks Im more interesting than the movie, my plan is working. Somewhere deep in the back of my head I know this is a bad idea but I cant have Hattie getting all the attention from her cute boy toy while I float behind the scenes going unnoticed. Yeah, shes my best friend, shes beautiful, charming, irresistable, but I cant let her have the spotlight.

The movie ends and I sprawl out on the couch stretching out my tight limbs. I look over my shoulder and see that Jai is doing the same thing, he lets out a yawn and looks over to me. I flick him a quick wink and let a big yawn cover my face. This is all played out in a swift movement, no suspections.

"What now?" Throughout the duration of the movie we had Luke and Beau, Jais brothers invite themselves into the lounge and join in watching the movie. Luke asks an open question, clearly bored and wanting to do something fun.

"I dont know Luke, why dont you tell us?" Jai cheeks a smile at him

"Thats why I asked you!" Luke raises his voice intentionally, his short temper coming into play.

"Well you're usually full of good ideas, Luke, so why dont you share one of them with us now"

Luke, full of anger, now, clenches his fists and by the looks on his face is trying the resist the urge to get up off the floor and Jai a piece of his mind. That didnt take much. An awkward tension builds up in the room, and everyone is giving everyone eery stares trying to think of something to say to bust out of this funk that has risen all of a sudden.

"Hungry Jacks anyone?"

The sun was slowly setting when we thought that going for a walk to Hungry Jacks was a good idea. I wasnt much of a fast food eater but I just agreed to anything that would get us out of the house. The walk there was about 15 minutes, I didnt mind it since Ive been sitting for the past 3 hours, my legs were starting to cramp up anyway, walking felt good.

Jai and Hattie walked up the front, Jai getting earfuls of whatever was going on in Hatties head, Lord knows whats going through ther at the moment. Luke, well he was trailing a few feet behind Jai and Hattie. He was filling his head with music blasting through his 'Beats by Dr Dre' and his hands stuffed in his jean pockets. He was walking by himself, poor kid, I think he was a little embarrassed by making a scene in the lounge earlier. But as for me, I was aquainting myself with the twins' Luke and Jai's oler brother Beau Brooks. He was quite the charmer himself, dark olive skin, piercing green eyes and a smile that could melt a girls heart, any girl except for me. I consider myself as having no heart whatsoever. Im cruel, selfish, judgemental, and I have the tendancy of ruining other peoples lives. So I guess you could say Im evil, sick, twisted. Thats just who I am, I guess.

"what do you think of me?" I ask letting my mind get the better of me.

"well, I think you are gorgeous, have an usually good style, you're --" I cut him off "honestly"

"you want honesty?" he looks at me and I give him a look that says 'you think Im joking'

"Okay then, well in the two years of going to Penola together I noticed that, even as a junior, you were snobby, stuck up, bitchy and you liked the rule the nest. I can tell now that you're ego has gotten even bigger since then and you're poisition of being the most popular girl in school has gotten the better of you. I, also know, that you treat Hattie like shes a dog, I saw it in the lounge room earlier this afternoon, you greasing on Jai to get his attention on you and snitch it away from Hattie. I see it'

It felt like I had just been hit by a bus. I know I was going to get given slack, but I had just met this guy - I do remember seeing him around school when he attended but we had never talked or anything - and he just fired his shot gun on me.I just stared at him with a pure look of shock on my face, he just shrugged his shoulders and said "you wanted honesty" yeah, honesty, not a bullet to the chest. But was I really that bad? I knew I could be harsh sometimes but having it dished it out like that made it sound worse than I actually thought.

We made litle conversation after that, I could see we were both trying hard not to make it awkward between us.

We dined at Hungry Jacks tucking overselves away in a booth. Luke, Jai and Beau all start pigging out as soon as they get their food, Hattie eats but puts more grace into it, and as for myself, I didnt eat, I just sat there listening to the boys ramble on about how they're bulking by eating this food and gym this, gym that, bla bla bla, that seemed to get Luke out of his funk. None of this interested me, however, I couldnt talk to Hattie, not after what Beau said to me. My thoughts were interrupted when the boys had finished demolishing their meals and wanted to go home. We all slip out of the booth and out of the restaurant, hitting the streets again. The boys run off and do whatever boys do, leaving, unfortunately, Hattie and I by ourselves, great. Thankfully she hasnt suspected anything different from my usually cruel nature and talks to me like her usual self.

Our walk back to the Brooks' house wasnt as awkward as I had thought, I guess thats because Hattie was completely and utterly unaware of what Beau had said. The boys had made it home about 10 minutes ago and were waiting for us to arrive. We walk through the door not bothering to knock, knowing we were already welcome there, and the boys had set up a cute slumber party for all 5 of us, well cute for some, I thought it was revoltingly girl-like and I knew instantly I was not going to enjoy this.

"welcome to our humble sorority" Beau overexaggerates on his girliness and sits me down on the couch. Hattie gets escorted byt the twins to another room.

I think Im gonna be sick.

So, here ya'll have it.

The ending of chapter 5, finally. I know I havent made the ending very special or left you guys with a cliffhanger but I promise the next chapter will have some good stuff in it, just be patient, and I promise the next chapter will be updated in the next week, not in 5 months.

Please Vote/Comment on what you think about this chapter and some more ideas for the next chapter would be lovely.

Thankyou for reading
