The Streets Of New York - Unfinished

Now What? - Chapter 26

Luke POV

The next morning, after Evan brought back Jonathan, it's like nothing had happened last night. At least that's what Jonathan thought I was thinking.

We were sitting at the small wooden table we call our dinning table, I cooked us some eggs and made some toast. I placed them it front of Jonathan and he instantly dug in. I sat down slowly, and I ate slowly.

"Mm, good as always Luke." Jonathan muffed out the words with a face full of eggs. "Welp, I'm gonna start going, I got some... work to do at school." Jonathan said getting up. I stabbed my eggs with my fork and Jonathan stopped walking towards the door, he was stalk still. 

"It's Saturday Jonathan." I said angrily. "Sit. We're gonna talk." He gulped and cautiously made his way back to the table. He sat down and winced a bit. "What happened last night?" I asked, softing my gaze when I looked at him.

"Evan and I just went out an ate, that's all. We didn't kiss if that's what your asking..." He trailed off, knowing that's not what I asked for. "Well that's great and all but why were you unconscious?" I said, furrowing my eyebrows in anger.

He was silent a bit before he took a deep breath and finally spoke. "We were jumped." My eye widened, I stood up abruptly and slammed my fist against the table. "WHAT?!" He jumped at my sudden action. So I took a deep breath of my own to calm down.

"D-did you..?" I asked, my voice more calm than before. He looked at his thumbs and he looked disappointed in himself. He just nodded his head, knowing what I had asked. I sighed and sat back down.

It's not Jonathan's fault for transforming into that, other half of him? I still can't even explain what happened back then, when he killed my ex boss. After that day I made him promise to never show that part of him again. Because it was to dangerous to not only him back to the people around him.

Plus my ex boss's gang members became vengeful and thought that I had killed him. Which I had allowed them to think it was me, in order to protect Jon. If anyone found out about his.. powers, he would be hunted and experimented on. Or even worse. Killed.

Evan was the only one who I could trust to keep Jonathan's secret. Something about him just feels so trustful. He's always been helpful and supportive, and he even lend us money when I lost my old grocery store job. I wasn't able to buy any food or even pay rent that month.

In the beginning he didn't like Jon, because he was "weak" in his eyes. Little did he know. But I saw a switch flip inside him. Something changed in him, he just began to enjoy Jonathan company. 

But Evan is the only one I can trust. Not even the other guys I can trust with this secret.

"Now what do we do? Evan saw that side of me! Now he'll think I'm a freak, he'll never like me.." Jonathan's quivering voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned and looked at him sob silently. "It's alright, I told him."

He cocked his head up to look at me. "W-wha?" He was shocked. I nodded my head, "I told him about your powers. So what he experienced wasn't too much of a shock to him." I said comforting, wiping his tears.

"Why?" He asked. "Because, he deserves to know you hold no secrets if you're going to make something work out between you two." He blushed. I just giggled. We sat in silence for a while after that. Not really knowing what to say.

I just thought to myself: what a coincidence someone jumps Jon after I reveal Jonathan's powers to Evan. 

A knock on the door kept me from finding out that coincidence. I got up and walked to the door and opened it.

"Well speak of the devil." I said, mostly meaning for it to be in my head. There was anxious looking Evan in front of me. I stepped to the side so Jonathan could see who was at the door. The two made eye contact. They both looked to the side, blushing a bit. 

Then Jonathan started tearing up. Evan looked at him worried. He looked to me and I nodded my head to say 'go to him'. Evan rushed to Jon's side without a seconds notice. Evan knelt in front of Jon, who held his head in his hands.

"W-why are you crying?" Evan asked, his voice gentle. "I-I'm so sorry you had to see me like that." Jonathan cried out. Jonathan doesn't really remember to much detail from what happens after he, "transforms". Just that he did transforms and small glimpse of what happens.

"You have nothing to apologize for, I'm sorry for not being strong enough to keep you from showing something you don't like." Jon looked a bit confused, probably not remembering that detail. But Evan just went on.

"But I have to ask you," He paused and looked at me then back at Jonathan. "Who were those guys who jumped you? They seemed to know you, or at least their boss knew you." When Evan said 'boss' my body locked up.

"What did you say?" I spoke up. Jonathan still seemed confused on what Evan was saying, but Evan just stood up to be at my level. "Boss?" He questioned my own question. I nodded my head, my eyebrow furrowing once again today. 

"The one guy was talking to someone on a ear piece saying something. Something like their boss wanted Jonathan? I don't really know what that means." He stated. I slammed my fist against the wall, leaving a small dent. They both flinched.

There was only one thing I could get from this. Jonathan being jumped, this boss that wants Jon...

"Jonathan." I said, turning to my little brother. Looking at him a flash of memories flooded my head. Mom's death, the necklace, Jonathan's power... Jonathan is my world, my everything. I would do anything to protect him. He's the only family I have left.

"Cody's men are back." I said seriously. Both men eye's widened. Cody, my ex boss, his men figured out that Jonathan killed Cody. And this "boss" most likely want Jonathan dead. Or even worse...

To use him.
