Escape (A Luke Brooks/Janoskians fanfic)

Chapter 2

I was awoken by the loud shrieking of an alarm clock. I slammed it off, and slowly got out of bed. By the looks of the uniforms on my desk, I knew that James had set my alarm because I would be going to school today. Penola Catholic College. I quickly jumped in the shower then got dressed. I straightened my hair, gotta impress on the first day, and only put on a little mascara. I thought I had been making good time, but James was already yelling at me to leave. I bounded down the stairs and out the front door into the car. This day should be interesting.

The school was massive, and there were kids everywhere. James led me to the office and helped me collect my planner and everything I would need. I had home room first, with James, so that would be an easy start. We walked into the class and I took a seat by James. All of the sudden a boy barged in the room screaming, "JAMES OH MY GOD. WE HIT 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS." "NO WAY!" "YE- who is that?" the boy nodded towards me. "Oh this is my cousin Alexandra, she'll be living with me now." "It's Alex, but hi." I forced out a smile and the boy smiled back, "Jai. What brought you out here?" I looked down at my lap and the tears started forming. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I understand, you don't have to tell me." I just laughed away the tears and turned towards the front of the room as the bell sounded.

The day moved slowly, but lunch finally rolled around. I walked to the oval where James and Jai told me to meet them and saw Jai standing in the middle talking to a few other boys. I walked over, "Hey Jai." He looked at me funny and laughed. "You must be new, I'm Luke, Jai's twin." I was super embarrassed and my face immediately turned beat red. "Yeah, I am. I'm James' cousin, Alex." "Nice to meet you Alex, this is Daniel and this is Tyla." I smiled at both of them. We all talked for a while about life in general. I noticed Luke was always looking at me really intently whenever I spoke. It kind of weirded me out, but he was too cute to not talk to. Him and Jai are identical, but if you really study them, they're not. Luke has a lip piercing while Jai does not. Luke has a spot on his nose, while Jai's is under his eye. Luke also looked more mature and I personally thought he was cuter. No I do not have feelings for him. I barely know him.

That night we all hung out at the Brooks' house. Turns out they have another brother Beau who is older. They're in this group called the Janoskians with the boy I had met earlier, Daniel. They claim to be some YouTube sensation, and after showing me a couple videos, I knew why. They are hilarious! I never knew my loser cousin could be a part of something so massive. We spent the rest of the night watching movies and getting to know each other, but then the question came up again. "So Al, why did you decide to move in with this fag?" Beau asked. The way he asked was funny, but the subject was still hard. I couldn't let these boys see me cry. I got up and bolted outside.

I hadn't run very far before I was at a park. I sat down at a bench and just started sobbing. I wish I could forget the past. Suddenly someone slumped down next to me. I jumped up, but sat back down when I saw who is was. "Oh, hi Luke." "I'm not asking for you to tell me, I just want to know if you're okay?" I shook my head in response. "Can you just tell me the general idea so I can help you?" I had been bottled up for years. No one had ever asked me to talk to them. No one had ever asked of I was okay or if they could help. My walls shattered, I blurted it all out. My whole story. He just sat there and listened so carefully. When I was done he pulled me in for a hug. "I've never told anyone that before." "Thank you for trusting me." it was only my first day here and I already had a bestfriend.
