The Streets Of New York - Unfinished

Concern - Chapter 28

Marcel POV

Us as a group, gang, whatever you wanna call it. We've always been honest with one another. I've been opened with my struggles growing up "colored" as people call it. And we know about how Evan's parent practically neglect him because they are too focused on work. Or the fact that strong, big, and buff Tyler use to be overweight and bullied because of it. We know everyone in this group is messed up at some degree.

But Jonathan and Luke they have been mysterious blanks. Everyone shared a part of them they never wanted the world to know but they never share. Which is fine! If they aren't ready I get it... But... Something feels off about it though.

Like it's some big secret they're hiding from us. I feel like they are hurting on the inside, mostly Luke I see this, that something is eating at them from the inside. And the only way to stop that is to tell someone what is eating at them.

Lately I feel Luke is in a better head, that eating feeling has decreased a bit. And he's seemed to be closer to Evan, despite them being the two in charge of our gang, they seem closer as friends and more, open?

I'm happy that Luke felt like he could open up to someone but it saddens me that he can't do that with the rest of us. I spread the rest of my concerns to the guys.

"I think you're overthinking Mar." Moo politely said. "Yeah, Luke is just like that, he doesn't open up 'cus he's a hard head." Brian concluded. We recently sit at our couch in our base. "But I just feel like there is more that he's not telling us! Something about his past?" I continued.

"I agree with Brian and Brock. You're just lookin' to into things." Tyler stated. "Yeahhh buttt" Craig joined in, "I also can't help but wonder." Lui took a bit out of a cookie and nodded in agreement. He swallowed before speaking. "It is kind of strange, especially how Jon and Luke are so different from one another.."

Ohm perked up at the mention of Jon. He was ignoring the conversation, peacefully in the kitchen making a sandwich. He turned to face us and looked like he was going to say something but stopped. He turned back to making his sandwich.

"Don't ye guys think it's bad to talk about them while they ain't here?" David joined in. "We aren't spreading dirt on them just being concerned about them." Them meaning Evan, Luke, and Jon who are all out getting snacks for us since we are getting low in our pantry. 

"Well I think it's nonsense. If they want to tell us, they will! Just stop stressing over it Marcel." Tyler said whist getting up to join Ohm in the kitchen. He grabbed the jug of milk and chugged it. I just sighed in defeat. Craig joined me and rubbed my back comfortingly. 

A loud bang of our hatch opening. "We're back!!!" Jonathan announced holding two small brown bags of snacks. Evan and Luke behind him holding even more bags twice the size of Jon's. Brock got up from his seat to help joined by Nogla.

After the bags have been settled Jon jumped onto the couch with a huff. "What a work out!" he exclaimed. "We carried most of it, shut up!" Evan yelled from the kitchen and chucked a peanut m&m at Jon's head. "Ow!" yelled Jon. Everyone just laughed at him relieving the tension I've put in the room.

I hope I wasn't really overthinking things... I just want Jon and Luke to be happy, just like the rest of us. We all became happier by telling each other our deepest darkest secrets that's been eating at us and letting someone else help you. I want Luke and Jon to feel comfortable with and feel they way I did after I told everyone about my problem with the world.

I'm just so concerned about them. Is that so bad? Especially when Luke got all angry and got into that fight. Something must have happened when we left. It got Jonathan all in a wreck and Luke so.. angry. And after that fight, Luke Jon and Evan didn't even bring it up again... at least not in front of us.
