Hired for Luke brooks

Teenagers

I wince from the shout and take a step back into Luke a bit startled by her voice. I mean...its not exactly my fault right?

"What do you mean she's in the hospital?! Huh?" She flings out her arms in what I can imagine annoyance and grief. "I go for months katie! and you can't even look after the person that had always watched out for you! No matter what shit you have done to screw up this messed up family!!" She takes a step towards me and this gives me a clearer look at her teared up eyes, but I don't even care, her words make me feel sick, she doesn't know half the stuff I've been through since she's been gone. I just break at her words.

"You don't even know half the shit I've been through, and don't even try to pretend you do Carter Harper" My voice comes out calmer and better than I expected it to. "Hell, you weren't even here to see OUR mom be pulled out on a stretcher bruised and battered...You weren't even here to see me sob and cry into my boyfriends chest because I didn't know if you where dead or alive. So don't you dare even start to lecture me on 'the shit I've put you through' because I was the only stupid cow left to grieve of the loss of her whole family" when I finish I can feel the warm tears trailing down my face.

"Well when can I see her? huh?"

"When you get that attitude the hell out of your voice" I snap back. "Now get in the car please" I ask her as nice as i possibly could in that moment and sigh when I see her storm of to the car.

I turned to Luke completely embarrassed and hurt but looking into his beautiful eyes reminds me of what happened and what was said.

"Listen Luke I'm really so-"

"If you say your sorry now I might have to kiss you to shut you up!" he lightens the mood and smiles down to me.

"Sorry" i finish the sentence and smirk up to him and he leans down and starts kissing my lips ears, eyes, neck.

"Ahah okay stop!" I exclaim laughing finally, he just grins up to me and gives me one last peck on the lips.

"I warned you though!" his moans like a baby.

"Yeah well, we are currently being stared at by the police officers and I totally don't want them to think your trying something on me here" I giggle at his face and walk of to the car.

I turn to face Carter in the back seat and smile sadly.

"Ready go home?" I ask.

"As ready as I'll ever be right now." She doesn't even look at me, she just stares out of the window.

Teenagers.

•••••At the Brooks•••••

So that had to be the most awkward car ride ever! but when we got to the brook household she soon settled in with a cup of hot chocolate and some biscuits.

"Time for bed Carter" I call into the living room and hear all the boys groan as they where in the middle of a game.

"Don't be a spoil sport Katie!" James calls into the kitchen where I'm sat with Gina.

"5 more minutes!?" Jai shouts to me. sighing I give in and let her have one more game.

"Are you struggling sweety?" Gina asks me as she takes a long sip of her hot drink, not taking her eyes of me.

"No...I mean yes." I sigh "my moms not here so I have to take the roll of 'mother' until she gets better and I'm already finding it hard" I gush out all my feelings to Gina but don't feel completely happy. "she was so disrespectful to me today infront of everyone and I just feel...like she doesn't deserve those last few games with the boys..because...well I don't even know anymore Gina" I place my head on the table and softly bang it a few times.

"Your only human Katie, and if you'd of said it wasn't hard I probably would of slapped you" she winks at me. "your a teenager to and you deserve a life that's not filled with all this shit"

"I don't feel like a teenager anymore though. I'm not close to beau like I used to be and I don't think he notices how much it's killing me to not have him as my bestfriend. The boys made me feel happy and...myself, but don't think I don't notice the look in all your eyes. I know you pity me" I look deep at her now and I know when her eyes avoid mine that I am right.

"And what about Luke?" at his name I feel my face brighten.

"Luke is...Luke" I laugh at this "I mean he's my rock, he's been there for me when I needed him always...I think I'm in love with him" I finish smiling into me cup of tea.

"Woah sweetie that's a big thing to say" she laughs at me and I can't help but feel a little hurt.

"That's why I said it Gina, I'm in love with your son" look at her this time and notice the small smile in her face.

"Time for bed guys!" Gina calls into the living room and they all come sulking in.

"Well done Katie" beau snarls at me playfully. I stick my tong out to him and playfully stomp upstairs like a moody teenager. I hear them all chuckle form the bottom of the stairs.

"Well I'm goin bed!" Carter shouts above everyone and comes to join me at the top of the stairs.

When the boys eventually give in and go to be I give a big smile in Carters direction feeling as if I can show it, but again I just get disappointed when she glares at me and shuts the door in my face.

Ouch. I can feel tears filling up in my eyes and my heart pounding fast.

I've lost my sister. Slouching down the door I lean my head back against it and try to fall asleep, crying silently to myself...i go to drift of into my slumber but not before hearing a silent. "I love you" from behind the door and for the first time in forever I don't say it back.
