Bittersweet (Jai & Luke Brooks)

Chapter 6

"Please don't cause anymore trouble," Harley begged her sister. She had to go to school whilst Gina took Logan to the court for her hearing. 

"I won't," Logan stressed, fed up by her. All last night she was constantly telling her not to mess today up. "You're going to be late and then you'll get a detention and we both know you hate them."

"Sugar!" Harley shouted and picked up her bag. The boys and Gina were waiting for her inside the car. "Oh," She turned around. "Don't kill Beau." And with that she turned around and ran out of the house. 

"Don't kill Beau, don't kill Beau," Logan kept whispering over and over again. She walked into the living room where the annoying boy sat. 

Gina had work today, it was a very important day for her because the company were going to have some special visitors and she was one of the people to be asked. So, that left Beau in charge of her and she knew it was the worst idea ever, but she had to go along with it for Gina's sake. 

"I'm offended," Beau stated, turning off the T.V. He wanted to know what was so wrong about him. "Come, sit," He tapped the space next to him and watched as she reluctantly sat down. "What's wrong with me?"

"Everything," She mumbled, crossing her arms. She looked at Beau from the corner of her eye and saw that he was looking down, he looked so sad. "It's-It's not you," She choked out, unsure of what to say. Should she tell him? 

"What do you mean?" 

"I have a hard time, expressing myself?" She tried but it didn't sound right. "No, I have a hard time accepting people." That sounded better. "I-I promise to try and be kinder," She murmured shyly. 

"Really?" She could hear the excitement and hope in his voice and did not expect the hug she had recieved. 

"Too far," She coughed, trying to escape his hold. "Ki-killing me Beau," She couldn't breathe properly. He finally let her go and jumped up. 

"It's time to go," He told her and her mood plumeted down. 

"Great."

"I hope she's alright," Harley whispered to the twins. She was sat in the middle of them at the back of the classroom. It was study session today and their books were up, hiding their conversation. 

"She will be, they won't give her too much of a punishment," Luke tried to comfort her, laying a hand on her tightly clenched one. 

Harley looked at him confused. "I'm not on about the court, I'm on about her and Beau," She told them as if it were obvious. 

"Oh."

"Knowing Beau he will annoy the shȋt out of her," Jai jumped in, he was quite worried for his brother but deep down he knew she wouldn't hurt him. 

"Yeah, exactly," Harley agreed, she turned to Luke. "She can't handle that type of pressure, she's bipolar you know, well at least we think she is," She told him. 

"What?" Jai shouted, attracting the attention of the entire class and the teacher. 

"Is there a problem here? Mr Brooks, Mr Brooks, Ms Starr?" The new teacher asked, standing up. Harley sniggered behind her hand. It sounded so weird when he repeated Jai and Luke's surname. 

"Uh no?" Luke answered. They had flipped the books down, making it seem like they were reading. "Just that Jai found something weird in the book," Luke glanced at Jai to see him glaring right back at him. 

"Oh yeah? And what was this, weird thing?" The teacher asked, looking at Jai. It made him slightly nervous. 

"Uh, boobs?" Jai winced, he let the first thing that came to mind out of his mouth.
