Skip and Beau

Chapter 18: He's The One

Alright, IMPORTANT chapter here. It's just to fill up some blank spots, mainly. IYRDTJFGVMHJ 4K READS.

*Sara's Point of View* A Day Later

I walked down to the Brooks' house, where we all met up. Even Beau dragged himself out of bed. Luke told everyone what happened except James. We don't know if he's with or against Susan, so we were nervous.

I was a little worried about Luke. Ever since he found out Susan and James were related, he'd go on little anger strikes, threatening everyone saying that if we hid anything like James, he'd kill us.

So that was a bit scary.

Emma arrived last, not caring to apologize until Luke yelled at her. It humoured me a little.

But I've made my decision.

Last night and yesterday, I decided who I wanted to take my chances with. He really was what I wanted in a guy. I was ready to ask him out.

In a few minutes.

We all sat around quietly, looking at James. Clearly not catching on, he started.

"So Luke and Parmiss, I heard about Susan yesterday, that stuff's crazy."

Luke looked pissed. "Yeah, Parmi almost died." he said angrily.

Poor James just looked confused. "So why did we all meet here anyway?" he continued. "Did anything else happen?"

"Yeah, actually." said Beau. "We're here to talk with you...about Susan."

"Guys I've been going to a counselor for a while now dealing with seeing Beau die and accidentally seeing the car get away, I think I'm fine."

"Not that, James." said Jai. "We know about Susan."

James looked at me, I nodded. "We know she's your sister, James."

"The police arrested her yesterday and said her full name. Thanks for telling us James." muttered Luke, looking down.

"Look, I can expl-"

"Are you working with her?" asked Skip quietly.

"No! I swea-"

Luke exploded. "IF YOU'RE NOT THEN HOW COULD YOU NOT FUCKING TELL US? YOUR SISTER MURDERED HAILEY AND NEARLY KILLED MY BROTHER TWICE, MY GIRLFRIEND, AND SKIP! YOU SICK BASTARD!" he yelled.

"No!" James insisted. "We were separated after my 10th birthday! I didn't know!"

I was honestly disgusted. James saw her in the video, he knew then. He's known this whole time and never told us. I...I don't think I believe him.

"Get out of here, man." said Beau.

We nodded in agreement. How could James turn on us? He's just sick.

James shook his head and left. "I can't believe you guys."

We sat in silence for a while, taking it all in. No wonder Susan always knew where to go, James was telling her everything.

Parmi looked at Luke and hugged him. "I have to go check on my dad, I want you to stay here with Beau though. I'll be back in an hour or so." she said to him, leaving.

I sat there in silence before deciding when I should tell...the one... that he was the guy I chose. This was the time. I'm telling him now. The boy I was ready to be with. I refuse to feel guilty.

I walked up to...

Beau.

He looked up at me and smiled.
