AUTHOR'S NOTE:

SORRY FOR THE DELAY! REALLLY HUGE DELAY. I shouldn't be watching too many movies but it's the holidays...sorry guys, I'll try my best to update.

-------------------------------

Gwen's POV:

I was getting bothered, How Does Luke know Henry? . 

The question repeated and repeated in my head, were they cousins? Bestfriends? 

Walking towards my next class, I saw Luke guide Henry to the class. My hand reached for Luke's and he stopped 'guiding' Henry to class. The two were pulled out by me and I eyed both suspiciously. 

"Okay, First ...why are you here?" I pointed at Luke, he glanced at the floor then back at me. 

"None of your business." He simply replied. Oh, so rude. 

"It is my business because Henry is my friend!" I replied. Henry laughed a bit too much at that. 

"That was not a joke." I hit his arm. Luke pushed me away really hard, "Who ever said you were friends?" He retorted angrily. 

"We made an agreement." I replied as I folded my arms. 

"Well, apparently...what Henry told me. The deal was off." Luke eyed me again, from top to bottom in disgust.

"What happened to you?" He replied again, refering to my clothes. I was wearing a tank top and shorts. 

"What do you mean, what happened to me?" I glared at him. I continued,

"I didn't change. It's not my fault, you left to go London and for what? Your studies. PATHETIC." His eyebrows arched and he shook his head in disappointment. 

"I had to think of my future career and it was hard leaving you because I knew having a long distance relationship was going to be hard. What I didn't expect was for you to break it off with a text." I felt a shiver down my spine, but I shook it away.

"I had to, because I knew you were going to go off with some other girl...it was much easier for me." I retorted back. He chuckled, but it wasn't a chuckle for a good reason it was for a bad reason.

"You know what? Your right...If I had stayed with you, I wouldn't have met the most amazing girl ever and we wouldn't have had those amazing dates, if you didn't break up with me." He replied back, the sentence was filled with so much venom. It had actually affected me.

"You found someone else after I broke up with you?!" I couldn't help but raise my voice at that. My anger was only making my heart even more broken. 

"No, it took exactly two years for healing....unlike you." He simply replied. 

"Shut up." We both glanced at Henry, I glared at him but he didn't seem to care. I took a step closer towards him and observed his eyes. I gasped. 

"Henry...your blind?!" 

Luke's POV: 

I immediately pushed Gwen away from Henry and glanced at Henry. Oh, crap. He need sunglasses. I grabbed his hand and ran as fast towards the car. 

"Crap....Henry ..your eyes..." I sighed. I couldn't handle this, it was too much for me but I had to do this for my brother even if it means I needed to give him bad news.

"What?" He asked angrily after I paused for a long time. I glanced at his eyes again, the hazel colour was fading and it was slowly becoming white. 

"Nevermind...I'm going to get you new glasses." I replied. I hit the pedal and we were fast off to the shopping mall. We got out of the car, I helped Henry (of course) and made it to the sunglasses shop. I decided on a pair of ray ban sunglasses, placing them onto the bridge of his nose. He pushed the sunglasses to the bridge of his nose, he never looses that habit. I softly smiled. 

"Luke, Thank you..." I glanced to the floor with guilt. 

"Henry....don't thank me. I put this onto you, it's my fault..I got so distracted with meeting Gwen and when I saw you standing there, I couldn't stop my speed." I sighed as I felt the burden that I had for not telling him kind of lifted.

"Oh..." Was all he could say. I guided him back to the car, "Let's not go school..for today." I replied. 

"He still doesn't like me..." Henry sighed. I sighed, "What makes you say that?" 

"He may be my real dad, but he seems to care more about you rather than me." I glanced at Henry, he started fiddling with his fingers. I stayed quiet, "Aren't I suppose to be the favourite?" He replied again. I felt my heart tightened, "You are." I whispered. 

"Don't lie to me ...Luke. I've seen the way he looks at you..well before, I did." He replied.

"What? Death glares and looking down on me?" I replied back as I felt my hand tightened on the car wheel.

"Yeah, that means he takes you seriously....he doesn't do that to me. It's as if...I'm....nothing." My heart broke to pieces, I pulled the car to the side. 

"Are we here?" He asked. He was waiting for me to reply, but I just sighed. 

"We may not be real brothers but that doesn't mean you can say that about yourself. We've been together since we were kids and I don't know that role of being your older brother, I took it seriously. I've always wanted a younger brother...and I got that. So, don't you ever say that your nothing...Cause you are something. Your special to me. Your my younger brother and I don't care what your dad says ..you don't have to care about what he says because I'll always be by your side to help you stand up and I'm so sorry....to make you loose your eye sight...but I had got a call from someone yesterday. They have a donor. You both have the same blood type." I blurted out the last part by accident. Oh, crap. He wasn't suppose to know that until later. 

"WHAT?!" He shouted. I hit my head on the side window, why am I so stupid?

"Take me to the hospital...now." He replied. My eyes widened. 

"wha..what?" 

"TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!" This time he shouted. After putting both our seatbelts on, I pushed the pedal and made our way to the hospital.
