Regrets or a New Story? •Part 3• Long Lost Siblings.

Lukas' POV

I sat up on the bed looking around. What's taking Jesse so long? What if she's lost? What if she got kidnapped?! Or adult napped?? Aghhhh! Oh no! What if it's too late?! I stuck my foot off the covers struggling to touch the floor. KNOCK! KNOCK! I panicked putting my feet back on the bed with a calm face. "Lukas?" I heard Jesse's voice. I saw a man behind her playing with her hair. He saw my face and his lit up with joy. "L-LUKAS?!" He jumped on the hospital bed and squeezed me. "Um.. I'm sorry but who are you exactly? And why do you look like me?.." I lifted my eyebrows. "You don't remember me? I'm Logan. You're br-brother!" He flinched as he said that. LOGAN?!

*Flashback

Me and my little brother were sitting on the porch swing outside the door like we do every day. "Hey.. Lukas?" He seemed to look down while saying that. "Yeah Logan?" I was worried at the sudden change of mood around us. "Are we going to ever split up?" He said crying "Of course not! I will always protect and love you! Promise!" His face returned to his normal happy face.

The problem was... he didn't stop. Every year he would ask me the same question until... February 16, 2009, Sunday.

I opened my eyes still blurry from too much sleep as I nudged my foot over the side of my bed. CREAK!! Hmm? Oh no.. is Logan awake already? My dad is away in New York for some 'business' but to be honest I think he's just drinking a glass with his friends. As for my mom... well, she's a different case. She's amazing, nice, smart, and beautiful, but she's rarely at home. She spends days and nights at work not even a second of sleep. Well anyways I sat up and walked to the bathroom glancing at the calendar before I step in. Just another Sunday... FEBRUARY 16?!?! OH NO TODAY IS THE DAY THAT!! I dropped the toothbrush I was grasping and locked my doors. Oh no... 3... 2... 1... Huh? Phew I guess he forgot. KNOCK KNOCK! OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! I couldn't lock him outside. I walked to the door hesitantly touching the door knob.

I twisted the door knob and instantly he jumped on me like a new born puppy. "Today is the day!" He smiled devishly. Ugh. "By the way... will you ever leave me??" His emotions changed in a millisecond. Logan has a rare state. His emotions change quickly and he would need a shot to cure it. None of them worked, so we stopped giving him shots once a day. Thinking about it makes me shiver. "You already know the answer to that." I shoved him out of the way as I slouch to the kitchen. "TELL MEEEEE!!" He started pounding on the desk. "TELL ME! TELL ME! TELL ME! TELL ME!" I started getting more paranoid as his voice got stronger. I was so mad I didn't even think before I made the biggest mistake of my life.

"NO! SHUT UP! I DON'T LOVE YOU! YOU ARE SO ANNOYING! LEAVE ME ALONE!!" I grabbed him by the collar and saw his hand trembling for the first time. I let go making him fall flat on his back. "Are you okay?!" I offered him a hand. One... two... three... five... droplets. He was scared and crying. He didn't look up, but ran to his room. I felt bad... but I knew what would cheer him up. I grabbed the ingredients out of the cabinets and soon enough. A batch of pancakes and waffles were sitting next to a bottle of syrup. I walked slowly to his door ready to surprise him as I put my silly face on. I opened the door.

I dropped the dish making it scatter into pieces. "LOGAN?!" The window was open big enough to jump out. THIS HOUSE IS TWO STORIES!!! WHAT IF HE GOT HURT!! I closed the window as I ran down the stairs faster than anyone could. I jumped out the door and saw drips of blood under his window. No no no no no no no!!!! Where is he??? I ran around calling his name, asking the neighbors, and putting up posters. No luck. I had to do it. I pulled out my phone and flipped it upwards dialing my mom's number. Please answer please answer! "Hello dear? I am at work can we speak later?" Yes! She answered. "MOM I LOST LOGAN!!" I didn't hear her reply. She ended the call but I can hear footsteps. An hour later I was looking out the window sobbing wet with tears. "Please.. dear god please! Logan, come back.." I prayed to god again and again until I cried my self to sleep.

It was 3:30 am when my mom came Home. "LUKAS!!" I rushed downstairs thinking she found him. I looked around no Logan.. the house was so quiet you could hear the clock tick. She tapped her foot with her face red after crying. "Lukas... where is your brother." "H-He ju-jumped out the w-window.." tears falling down again. She wiped my cheeks as she started crying too.

"Please come back." - Lukas

Logan's POV

I ran and ran and ran. Tears getting sweeped of my cheeks as the night gets darker and colder. Soon, I am in the middle of the dessert. No sign of home. I glance back at the watch my fake-brother gave me. I took off the latch that held it on my wrist and dropped it soon getting buried in piles of sand.

"What have I done?" - Logan
