Beau and I (Sequel to Skip and Beau)

Chapter 11: It Gets Worse

Sup y'allls. Hey, can you read the author's note at the end please if you usually don't? Thanks :)

*Sara's Point of View*

"Luke...I...I..." I was stunned.

He looked at me as I tuned into everyone surrounding me, starting with the people to my left.

Rachel, Emma, Jai, James, and Ali were staring at Luke and I, their faces full of shock. Their jaws were slightly open, just staring.

As I moved further right around the circle, I saw Parmiss' face. She was in tears, her face bright red, her body completely shaking. Her hands grasped to Emma's, who was squeezing them just as tightly. Right next to me, Luke was looking at me with his sad eyes...I shut mine tightly, the tears falling down my face. And finally, I looked at Beau.

His eyes were red, bottom lip quivering as he bit it sourly, and his fists were clenched. "How could you?" he muttered.

"It was an accident." I said in a whisper.

"Accident my ass. You could've stopped it, Sara. You could've told him No. But you didn't. You didn't."

"Beau, please, I don't know what happened-" He stood up, ignoring me. I thought he was about to leave, but he went around me to Luke. "Beau please-" I repeated.

"Shut up." he said. I was silent, shaking. Everyone was silent as he looked down on Luke.

But everything bad turns worst.

"YOU FUCKING CUNT!" He shouted, grabbing Luke by his shirt's collar and lifting him to his feet. "Why would you fucking do that?!"

"Beau!" I screamed. "Stop!"

"Don't even talk to me." he ordered.

"Beau I don't know what came over me. I didn't mean to kiss Sara-" Luke insisted.

"YOU FUCKING DID!" he said. "I can't even believe you. You're my brother. My fucking brother." He clutched to Luke's collar.

I knew what he was about to do. I had to stop it.

As his arm wound up behind him, his fist prepared for impact.

"STOP IT!" I yelled as Beau swung.

It was a rush, but happened so slowly.

When I had gotten up, I was already running. I had jumped in between the two brothers. I was in love with Beau, but I couldn't let Luke get hurt. My eyes were closed tightly as I awaited impact. I remember feeling Luke stumble and fall behind me.

At first, it didn't hurt so much. His knuckles fit easily into the side of my head. I could feel where it would leave the mark. Then, I felt it. The impact. The force was so strong that it turned my head to the left. It killed my jaw and neck. Just before my legs fell under the pressure, I opened my eyes. His face was shocked, and he had no control over his fist. I closed them again when my body began to crumple down.

Blackness.

*Luke's Point of View*

I'm alone. I know it already. I'm surrounded my people but I know I'm alone. I took off. I couldn't look at Parmiss. I didn't know what to say.

Yes, I'm in love with Parmiss. I love her. But Sara...I don't know why, but my feelings for her have been getting stronger. I don't know why...I don't know. I don't know.

I ran out of the backyard and into the house. From there I went out front, got in the closest car to me, and was about to drive away when Jai got in the passengers seat and slammed the door.
